There were cries Of warning as the

must be on fine but when they took long

they discovered distinct odor OF tur-
pentine peniading the air and, upon tax
ing a careful survey, saw that the station
was being painted. May the good work

"Wednesday the members of the Dorcas

disposed OF the dishes and donned their .
pest or second best apparel, beiook Them
selves TO the pleasant home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Zina Cobb in Harmonyvile, where
Eighteen Of them sewed industriou.ly {
upon aprons and other useful articles
until the stern voice OF the president was
leard calling them to order for the bust
less meeting, after which delicious re-
reshments were served. Three visitors
we're present. :

ay going Sunday to Hiinsdale and from !,
here to take look at the dam being
unit across the Connecticut river. Mr..
ones reports the sight as well worth
eeing and shows specimens OF stones
'hich he brought home with him and
'hich were dug out at least 80 feet be- I
Nv the surface. These stones are less
han half an inch in thickness and are
ut into regular shapes like the old-fash-
med hard gingerbread. They are gray e.
color and the surfaces are smooth. h
hey are found in quantities with layers Ii
sand between. N
Not since the days OF Herod have so 81
ANY innocents been slaughtered in a II
ngle night as met their fate last Tues II
ny in West street. Only two families "
ere attacked by the assassin, but the Di
,dies of the victims were strewn, hor- 81
d sight, about the yard. Some were dis Ia
nbowelled, while others appeared to have IN
ed of fright, there being no marks of re
olence upon their bodies. The coroner er
still uncertain at what door to lay the tr
ing upon the doors of the two hen
ops and that the remaining IA chickens fo
tended the funeral in body. We hear
so that there are many other hens in r,
wn and a few incubators who refuse
be comforted for the loss of their child -,

entifc course, an English course, !
siness course including stenography and WI
oewriting and a teachers course. No SUI
lool in the vicinity offers SO much for

towns who are planning to go some aft

here has been a bird scare in town \
that the birds were scared but the Ea,
,ple. The news got ahoat that there the
re not nearly SO many of the feathered ter
gsters as usual this season. They had, :,
n things, been dashed against light -; y
lses or telephone wires or had been aut
It in the south in such quantities that " me'
re were none left to come. The story ~
rted with Chicken Little who went a
under his rose bush one morning and Chl
o because at that particular time he Inc
ed to hear bird, ran and told Hen dai
that there weren't any; and so the p
~ spread until Goose Loose, Turkey SEN
key and even the newspaper reporter int
I'd it. Now if Chicken Little had evel
spent little time going about the NJ
Is and woods he would have heard the a.
ebird and the song sparrow, the don
ush, the oriole and innumerable other ;nte
gsters singing as merrily as ever and nnt
b no diminution in the chorus; and ~.
le had sat for few minutes upon the "A
of any cornfield he would have had clrc
comforting assurance that his friends SOM
crows are here not only in good num- t urel

to help up the corn. Dar
