 Berry pickers who may be liable to operate on Bucks Hill would do well to let the wells in that neighbor- hood severely alone. A young man living on Bishop street went berrying there last Sunday and it being a rather warm day he became quite thirsty. He helped himself to all the wells he met and he is now laid up with typhoid fever. It is the general belief that the microbe of the disease was in some of the wells he drank from.
 Miss Nellie Benton, Miss Elizabeth Quinlan and Mrs L. Pagan were ap- pointed last evening by Brass City lodge, N. E. o. P. to make arrange ments for the lodge members who will attend the picnic of New Haven lodge No 90 at Lighthouse Point next Saturday.

 The A. O. H. did a fine thing in New Haven last Saturday by present. ing the City mission with some six hundred ready-made sandwiches to be distributed among the poor of the city. The acting minister was thus enabled to give relief to some twen- ty destitute families, some of which were made up of ten members. The society is publicly thanked in the name of these distressed persons, who are composed of many nation alities and religions.

Jr., Ralph ! Lane and Miss Etta Eastwood.
 Many wonder why the city is so slow in opening Liberty street to Bank street, The street department is prepared to throw the street open 70 the public any time. but it can not dOthis until the railroad peOpis are ready. It may seem rather strange that the city should have to play second fiddle to anybody. but it is so just the same and things never . will be any different so long as one party is in a position to crack it's ! fingers at the other in the general f assembly.
 With the exception of the frog at the corner Of North Willow and West Main street, North Willow . street is double tracked as far as Highland park The Connecticut company has finished the small piece of work near the end of the green and much better service is now in line for the residents Of that locality.
