Attorney Charles H. Northrop,
 charged with embezzlement will not be tried at the February term of the crim- inal superior court, but it is understood that the case will be disposed of at the May term.

It is understood that the case will come up at the May term, and that MT North rop, by counsel, will contest the charge. It is understood it will be claimed that if there was a shortage in hls accounts it was not in any way due to the criminal intent of the ex-town treasurer.

Q HON PORTER L. WOOD SUR

 There was a very pleasant gathering, last week Thursday evening, at the residence of Hon Porter L. Wood, in honor of MT Woods birthday. When MT Wood came from his Waterbury office he found the house lighted up and many teams hitched about. It was complete surprise and very delightful affair in every way. MT Wood is thought highly of in the neighborhood. He is superintendent of the Congrega- tional Sunday school, at Oxford. Mir Wood still retains his law office in Wa terbury. He was formerly on the Board of Education in Waterbury. Now that the trolley is building this way, we hope more men of Mir Woods character will settle hereabouts.

CHINA TO KEEP OLD CUSTOM.
Officials Refuse to Countenance the
Spread of Western Ideas.

n Shanghai correspondent Of Ger
man paper writes: "The custom
OF arranging matrimonial contracts
through agents or matchmakers has
been practiced in China for ages. The
business receives support from all
classes, for although the high-caste
men in some instances select their
first wives themselves, the additional
wives are all secured through the
agents.
This being so, it was only natural
that recently distributed proclama-
ton, written by an unknown person
nreing the women TO rebel against the
old established custom, should have
created more than a little excitement.
The officials ordered the immediate
destruction Of the handbills on which

queer his own case. If he would only
trust implicitly to the lawyer he would
be all right, but that is something he
seldom does. He cannot hear what Is
going on about him, so he flies into a
panic and fancies his lawyer is neg
