That is, bad reputation in general, that plaintiff maintained a disOrderly house, that she was a ire quenter of disorderly house, and that her reputation was bad. Considerable law was quoted, after which the court ordered briefs sent him.

RAIN AND SUNSHINE.
Waterbury Gets All Kinds of Weathsp
 In Short Notics.

Shortly after o'clock this afternoon everything looked bright for a good rain storm. There was thunder and lightning and the heavy drops fell on the sidewalks with such force many sought shelter in stores and offices to save themselves from ducking. Then. much as the rain is needed, people com menced to find fault because they were caught out without their umbrellas. Just as the wide awake storekeepers were putting their stock of umbrellas where everybody could see them and congratulating themselves on brisk sale in that line of stock, the rain stopped and the sun shone forth in all It's brilliancy, thus dashing to pieces the hopes of the merchant and leaving farmers who had commenced to dis card their long faces in the same pre- dicament they have been in for the past month or more, but rendering the women folks who were out in their white waists happy because they saw chance to get home without having their fineries soiled.
