 Judge Cowell is moving his he- longings from his office in the Odd Fellows block on North Main street to the Cowell- -Guilfoile building at the corner of Grand and Leavenworth street. Among the judges treasures is a wasp's nest which has been in his possession for years. This was re- moved to it's new quarters by Joseph Guilfoile. and the unusual spectacle of wasp's nest on the street attracted almost as much at tention as the circus parade. The judge thinks great deal of that nest not because it is worth anything, but on account of what he suffered for it. He was touring the woods in Wolcott years ago when he noticed the nest and thoughtlessly gave it whack of stick. Whew. The Inmates rushed out like a flash and fell upon him with vengeance, but he made a brave fight and although he was not the better of it for several weeks, he beat the whole bunch and carried off their castle as a trophy and has kept 1t in his office ever since.
