The whooping cough is prevalent
in town.
Miss Ellen Lee is visiting with her
nephew in New Britain.
A son was born last week to Mr..
and Mrs. Benjamin Taylor.
The blowing season is over with
some of our farmers, who finished
their blowing last week Wednesday.
An old-fashioned muzzle- loading
gun, which had been set to catch a
chicken thief did execution when the
trap was sprung last Wednesday night,
although the victim of the charge of
shot claims that he was not in the
coop with the intent to take chickens.
Edwin Case of this town had been
missing poultry for some time, and
had failed to catch the thief. He set
up an old gun and fixed it so that
whoever opened the hen house door
would get a charge of buckshot in the
limbs. During the night he was
awakened by the discharge, and bur-
rying to the barnyard found Wolcott
Aver, young man who lives mile
down the road, in bad shape, with
hole through the leg. He was sent
into Willimantic and later sent to
Hartford for surgical attention. Aver,
who is married, has family and
bears an excellent reputation among
his neighbors. He says he, too, had
been losing chickens, and was awak-
ened by two men on the road, who
were talking about chickens. He fol-
lowed them, and they disappeared be-
hind Mr.. Cases barn. He says he
went into the chicken house to find
them and was shot by the trap gun.
Mr.. Aver was shot in the calf of the
leg. The wound is not a serious one.

END OF EDUCATION BILL.
Government Withdrascs It-Premier
against Peers 4ction.

London Dec 20.-The Education bill was
Withdrawn by Premier Campbel-Bannerman in
the House of Commons this afternoon After a
speech of considerable emphasis, defending the
course Of the lower house IN rejecting the
House OF Lords amendments as a whole and
repudiating the claims Of the peers that they
nave the right TO lecture the Commons on the
subject, the Premier announced that the govern
ment had decided to drop the measure. The
constitutional phase OF the dispute was referred
10 by the Premier in his peroration as follows:
Is the general election and its result to go
Lor nothing? 1t is intOlerable that the second
chamber, while one party is in power shall be
IIs Wiling servant. and that when that party is
enphatlcally condemned by the country il shall
sun De able 10 thwart and dstort the policy
Whlch the electors approved 1t NAV be neces-
sary TO submit for the moment but neither the
resources or the British constitution nor Of the
House OF Commons yet wholly exhausted
ahu S way must and shall be found whereby
elected representatives in the House of Com
MONS can be made to prevail.
Prolonged cheering greeted the close of the
Premier's speech
Ihere VIII be no dissolution of Parliament as
result OF the defeat of the Education bill Al
thoush The rejection Of this, the main Liberal
measure OF the session. is the most serious rebuff
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman's Cabinet has
YET suffered. 1t is not regarded as being suffi-
NAe44e1y grave 10 require appeal to the coun-
try whether at the present moment the gov
ernment could successfully appeal to the nation
on the Education bill is a question on which
even many Liberals are in great doubt. The
only Immediate effect of the step taken by the
upper house. therefore, will be to give an enor-
NOUS impetus TO the radical agitation in favor
OF curolng the veto powers OF the peers and TO
furnish the Nom Conformists with a new gun and
ammunition in their fight for the disesta blish-
ment or the Church Of England There is a
widespread impression that purely secular Ed
ucatlon bill will be introduced at the next ses-
sion OF parliament. while, no doubt the Cabinet
IN the recess will consider what means are DOS
slole to prevent the Lords from nullifying the
prolonged labors Of the Commons and to prevent
their veto OF measures passed twice by the lower
house.
1t is the general view of the politicians that
the peers by their action have entered into a
constitutional struggle embracing much more
than the Education bill. The Liberals say that
there VIII be no cessation of the fight until the
constitutional issue is settled as TO whether the
Liberal party Is to be forever checkmated by
tne Standing Committee OF the Tory Peers
King Edward received the Premier at Bucking-
nam Palace this morning. It is understood that
MS majesty wished TO be fully informed regard
ing the Cabinets views the political situa-
uon' as affected by the education question.
