This caused a great cOn1rnotion among the
 DyStanderS, for the fracaS happened on Main street, and so the people of the town rushed for hiding places un- der the impression that something ter r1b1e was about to happen. Allen lived in the Misses Wilson place, and besides painting beautiful pictures, he went at the rear of Trinity church he had several incubafors going, and these were in operation when he fled the town. He has the reputation of be- ing a bachelor. One report said he fed whiskey to his hens, and they went staggering over the place, cut ting antics. An attorney came up from New York, and going to the barn, found that one of the incuba;tors had set fire to the place, and in a few would have been in a blaze. The, in cubator was thrown out of doors, with its contents and the barn and the church were saved from destruction.
 The recent fair given by the Fire department, netted over $250. The at tendance was large, the decorations were fine, and the entertainment was applauded. An orchestra from Nor walk furnished the music.

to $4,000. May II, 1853, it was restored
to $4,000; April 81, 1856, again re-
