 The accused Frederick H. Wood, testified that he is 47 years old, a con tractor and stone mason by trade and had at different times employed from one to forty-five men. Said that he had conducted a saloon on one of the principal streets in the city of Putnam for a few months but was not in the liquor business at the present time. Claimed to have first seen Miller in his saloon in January and had also seen him at the Putnam gas house. Had heard some talk of the elk's head in his place a matter of two or three weeks before he had come into posses sion of same, but Miller had not spok- en to him of 1t at that time, but had done so later, telling himathat he was employed at the POmfret school and had told him that there was a large and small head at the institution that were to be thrown away. Wood then said that he had told Miller that if they were good for anything he would buy them from him. No price was fixed for the heads. Said that he let Dupuis have his team to make the trip to Pomfret with Miller.

 Possible Revival for HopeviIIe.
 Tn 1873 the old stone mill at Hope vile burned Since that time the many tenements and the few remaining in- dustries have slowly passed Into de- cay, until at present Hopeville is little more than a deserted village. During the past thirty years there have been from time to time, at long intervals, proenostications that a business firm of some kind would take up this val uable privilege. but nothing so far hns materialized.
 surveys have been made, and property owners on the stream above the dam have been interviewed about fowage, Report says that the present dam will be raised seven feet, which would make one of the finest powers to be imag- ined. As near as can be learned the manufacture of electricity for some purpose is contemplated, although nothing definite is given out.

THE NEW STYLE OF sUTroNINe.

The fashion of buttoning the gown at the left underarm seam, instead of directly down the back is finding cer- tain favor This, however, necessitates dozens of buttons, for the right side of the gown must be decorated with but tons to match the left, and these run all the way from the armhole to the very edge of the train.
 The tight sleeves are buttoned to the arm with a number of buttons, so that altogether a good many buttons are disposed of. For this reason the safer plan will be to use buttons matching the color of the gown, unless one is a veritable artiste in combining colors.
