port in the world. Strange to relate,
New York ranks third.
The change in the R. F. D. car
rier, mentioned last week, takes place
the 18th of this month, we are now
informed.
Mrs. Preston opened jar of goose
berries last week that she canned
fifteen years ago. The fruit was
found to be in perfect condition.
A nearby acquaintance told us that
she received five picture postal cards
Monday of last week. This is rec
ord. breaking for such a community
as this.
DR.. Wilbur Holt arrived from New
ark, N. j., at his father, L. W..
Hollis, last Thursday. We presume
he will do little shooting about
here, as the law against shooting
partridge, quail, etc., went off Oct.
LIST. Others about here are improving
the time in that line.
The w. r. Weston, whose sudden
death was mentioned in The Press of
last week, was a son of the late Rufus
Weston and his first wife, Heath Wes-
ton. Rufus Weston was once the
leader of the choir of the Baptist
church, and was famous "singing
master" in this vicinity.
81 had, l must confess, become tired
of noise and oratory, and distrustful of
talk; in the men who work construc-
lively and intelligently saw the best
hope of the future 90 Autobiography
of a Southerner,'' concluded in the
current number of the Atlantic Month

truth, instructiveness. We wish
every body could read it-all sorts OF
conditions of men.
1t seems that rabid dogs can spread
hydrophobia at all seasons of the
wear. AS much has been said in re-
gard to the restraining of dogs by the
town authorities, we copy the statute
in relation to the matter
Sec. 4,4S3. Rules Concerning
Dogs.
A majority of the justices OF the
peace in any town may, at any time,
make such rules for combining or de
stroying dogs therein, as they shall
Judge reasonable for the security oil
the inhabitants or their property, and
such rules shall be published by ad
vertising the same in a newspaper
published in such town, if any there
be, and posting same on the sign posts
in such town. All dogs which cannot
be confined agreeably to such rules, OF
which shall be found mad, or justly
suspected to be mad, or found doing
mischief when not under the care Of
any person, may be killed, and the
selectmen shall cause every dog found
killing or worrying sheep or lambs tc
be killed.
Sec. 4, 4S4. Power of Town to
Make Regulations.
Every town may exercise the power
conferred upon justices of the peace
by Section 4, 493 and may offer {
bounty for the destruction of any dog
not kept in conformity with all lega
regulations for keeping, taxing, Ii
censing and restraining dogs.
Sec. 4.495. Penalty.
Every person who shall violate an.
rule made by the justices of the peac
or by any town for restraining or de
stroying dogs, and legally published
and posted, shall be fined not NOR
than 81.
These rules may seem hard, blu
they must be followed. And it i
better to be safe than sorry.
AS people were returning from thu
fair on Thursday, in the twilight
down the Willimantic river road the,
we're startled by bright and increas
ing blaze to the southwark, which, a
they approached, proved to be the big
new barn belonging to the estate o
the late Legrand johnson. Roman
Tucker found it impossible to do AM
thing to save the large structure, o
even any of it's valuable contents
|
with difficulty from the new and con
venient horse barn, an adjunct. A
it was, his new and costly cart
wagons, tools, etc., were utterly de
stroyed Medoc La Bonte ais
suffered loss in his thirtyton crol
of hay, he having bought the gras
on the large farm, gathered the ha.
and stored it in the barn. The barr
was insured for $4,000. This is thu
second new, large barn that has beer
burned on the premises. The origin
of the fire is at present unknown
Some folks are of the opinion tina
couple of men on returning from tht
fair had accidently set the blaze, a
the doors which had been securel.
fastened for the day were found to b.
open. The burning of these TIVE
beautiful barns, among the best il
the county, have seemed to the people
of the country side like tragedies
The death of Mr.. johnson, also, wa
indeed tragedy. Much sympathy il
felt for Mrs. johnson, who was away
at the time with her sister in Eas
Bridgeport, anxiously awaiting thu
result of the serious accident which
had few days before befallen thei
sister, Mrs. Frances Manning Cham
pion. These two large, oonspicuousl.
located barns had been landmarks il
the adjacent country in recent years
People passing on the steam car
noticed and enquired about them
The owner and protector of them
who had spared neither time nor ex
