 Harley Amidon lost valuable colt the other day. The animal was tied by the'neck with a strong rope halter, and in pranoing about fell in some way and its neck was broken. Charles A. Robbins and Mrs. Annie James Robbins of Middletown, form Ferly of this place, announce, in g Hartford paper, the engagement ot their daughter, Rachel Marguerite, to Robert l.. Marks of Somers. ~~' Poor Hobson was nearly ruined by the kissing episodes faked by the re- porters. He did not deserve the treat ment he received, but now he has earned all the hissing coming to him for his attempt to stir up strife with Japan" But Hobson is nothing if not sensational.
 Walker stole a half million and got off with light sentence. Had the amount been doubled he would have probably been acquitted. It is safe to say the judge is not Baptist. But the light sentence does not alter the fact that the way of the trans gressor is always hard. ..
 Quite an unusual event was we'd ding on Saturday afternoon at the Congregational church. The con- traoting parties were Mary Adamio and Frank A. .Pakanaugh.

There was quite a large party in attendance.
 We all like to have a good name here in Yankee. land, and doubtless people of other nationalities have the samBf pride. We happened to find in. our reading recently that DYorak is a good name in Bohemia, and that there is g very celebrated musical composer by the name of Antonin Dvorak, who has won fame in Prague and in New York. We are all glad to have our Mail Carrier Dvorak on the route again.
 Mrs. A. s. Roswell has quite quantity of lemons nearly grown and, promising to mature. Her flower garden is a pleasure to all passers- by, as we'll as to herself, and Flossie Pourtrey has proven without doubt that it pays to SOW annuals and to take care of them. As we are driving we always feel like saying Thank you" to those who make their grounds bright with flowers. There is fine display at Gardner Halls and on the borders of Ool. Halls beautiful lawn.
 Alonzo Roswell has repaired the ohimneys at Oharles H Ryder's housa and at Maple Corner. This last, put 1p over one hundred years ago, was lain by an expert when chimney mak ing was an art. This has fine brick oven in good condition and six or seven fireplaces. The late Monroe Johnson said one day, as he ask ed if he could go down cellar and look once more at the rock foundations. having lived in the house at one time, 1T have seen fires in every one of these fireplaces at the same time, md in the oven, and not one smoked. tell you it took an artist to make in those days.''
 It is said that misery loves oOm- pany, but all the same we are not glad jo have our friends made unhappy and uncomfortable by the remarkable fills md cuts of the state road, that seem ;o pay little regard to the rights of abutting property ownera The 'tatutes are explicit in regard to the tights of property owners. There is another old -adage: Patient waiting is no loss '' We think we nave waited patiently for the hollow n front of our lawn to be filled in, md we are entertaining a hope that when the road makers reach this point it will be done, as has been lone in other cases in town.
