 .uracy-that the chestnut tree pest in this county has been considerably checked and through natural causes, which means that the pest is dying out. But in LitchffeId and New Ha- ven counties, it still fingers, but probably the same natural causes which are checking it in this county, will sooner or late come into opera tioh in those sections.

Claude Burdick a graduate dentist working a clerk in the East End freight yards, expecting soon to open a dental office, met with a nishap in the yards last night that may seri- ously handicap him in his profession.

 Burdick's injury was dressed by pr. McQueeney, who brought him to the emergency hospital ill the ambulance. It is doubtful whether the finger will be saved in it's entirety.
