advantage. and whose total interest in

pended in promoting the chances OF the
aspirant whose success would react upon
themselves in the most prolific return

sibility 10 which they are now officially
committed by the sufrages Of their con-

1T IS not patriotism and a sense Of
civic duty: IL IS passion for perQuisites.

ATTRACTIVE SPRING LAKE.

Weare told that 40 pickerel weighing from one to two pounds each, were purchased of o. s. Pepper, last week, by N. T. Hungerford and put in the waters of Spring Lake. About the same number of trout have been put into the lake and other kinds of fish are to be added in the spring. AS there are to be only few members of the Spring Lake club the members are an- ticipating that in about two or three years they will have one of the best fishing lakes in this section. We un- derstand the members of the club are from New York, Hartford, Bridgeport, Danbury, New Milford and Sherman, and if the plans of some of the mem bers are carried out it will not only be a fine fishing lake but an attractive.and busy summer resort, it being fine au- tomobile run from Bridgeport and Dan bury. The road is almost level from those cities. One great attraction te the lake will be the fountain. With such abundance of water at such a height above the lake it would throw a spray a hundred feet high. The lake is greatly admired by all who see it because of its beautiful location and perfect shape.
