ALL ABOUT A DOG.

Spectacle Man Steals Animal and Gets
 Into Trouble.
 An interesting dog case is occupying the attention of several villages here about. It appears that one William Ball, transient vender of eyeglasses and spectacles who had been doing bus mess all through Litchfeld county, was arrested in Canaan last Thursday by Constable Hornbeck, of Falls Village on complaint of August Kruger, of Sharon valuable bird dog last June. The con- stable had carried the warrant for Balls arrest for more than a month before he was able to pin his man.
 Ball was taken to Sharon for 8 hear ing before Justice Joseph J. Ryan. He pleaded guilty but was allowed to put up a cash bond of $40 to cover costs, and tho case was adjourned for 30 days, the prisoner being instructed to recover the dog which is worth $50, and restore it to the owner, Kruger, within that time, or be bound over to the superior court for trial on the charge of dog stealing.
 Ball had shipped the dog to his brother in law in Bristol, who has been trying him out as hunting dog. He had the dog out in the woods Sunday, and ac, cording to his story, he brought the ami nal home that night and tied him up in the barn. but some unscrupplous scoundrel had gained access in the night and stolen the dog again, and the ami malls present whereabouts is mystery, greatly to the embarrassment of MT. Ball, whose immunity from trial and probable imprisonment depends upon his restoration of the dog to its rightful owner, within month

OPEN-AIR CONCERT.
Canaan Citizens Band Gives Delight

Canaan Citizens Band Gives Delight
 fuI Entertainment.
 The open air concert given by Canaan Citizen Band, opposite the Depot Park, Saturday evening brought out a large crowd of listeners from all parts of the town, who expressed not only delight at the excellent quality of the music, but surprise at the remarkable proficiency the boys have made during the brief ex- istence of the organization to date.
 The band members were all present, and were led by Charles H. Ptase The performance was in every way worthy of band of veteran musicians.
 The concert was given on the broad piazza fronting the Rhoades building, lights having been strung by the. Power Co.,, for the occasion. The crowds of listeners who focked in close to the band, however, completely blocked the entrance to Wellner's tailor shop and made it difficult. if not impossible, for customers to get in or out of the shop. AS Saturday night is invariably the bus fest night of the week for MT. Wellner, it is probable that the next open air con. cert will be given in front of the Can. field hotel, or on a temporary platform on the Depot Park.

RAILROADERS ARRESTED.
c. N. E. Men Accused of Theft but
 No Case Against Them.


 Deputy Sheriff Lew Rhoades arrested 8 couple of railroaders on c. N. E., early Friday morning, on the arrival of their train at Canaan, on a charge of stealing $62. They were Fireman Will bur Adams and Trainman Jay Boioe The men protested their Innocence and no money was found on them when searched. They were placed ill the lookup and kept until Saturday morn ing, when they were given over to Poughkeepsie officers and taken back for a hearing.
 The Poughkeepsie end of the story is told by the Eagle of Friday, as follows :
 "A bold daylight robbery was com mitted at the residence of Lewis They sohn, No. 137 Garden street, yesterday afternoon, when someone entered the rooms of his sons, William and Ernest Theysohn, and stole $62 in bills from Williams trousers.
 "The police suspected two railroad men who hired room next to the two boys, as the thieves. The men came to the house yesterday morning and hired room. They remained within doors all day. Daring the afternoon, Ernest noted the disappearance of dollar from his trousers, but did not think it had been stolen. Then later is the evening, his brother was touched for the roll of $62.
 "By that time, both the railroaders had left the house. They were en- ployed on the Central New England and went out on Engine 24, bound for Hart ford. Judge Spratt issued warrant for their arrest and Acting Sergeant Leroy notified the Hartford police to hold the pair when they reached there" They were tried on Tuesday and the evidence being found insufficient, were acquitted

WAR "REMINISCENCES
PeriIs and Terrors ot Skmmish Line
 and Hardtack.
BY E. s. ROBERTS

BY E. s. ROBERTS
 Dear Comrades The 23d of May you broke camp at a. m, and started on your race, very little rested. As you had completed thirty-mile march the night before, little before midnight. But it made no difference how tired you were, go you must. Andyou will never forget this march. The only pleasing feature of this days march was that you met the army train and drew five days rations, And oh, didn't those hardtack taste good?
 If any of our citizens wish to sec hardtack and test their quality, the writer of these "reminiscences has two that he drew in the field and thinks they are just as tender as they were. nearly half a century ago. Sometimes you used to find bugs and flies burrowed snugly within their crusts. "Crusts," l said. but they were all crusts. You used to find a little comfort in eating them nights, as you could not see what was inside.
 You will remember this days march. It was lowry day, and as you were be- ing hurried along in the early afternoon you began hearing heavy cannonading. You knew that you were nearing trou- ble, AS you advanced, the noise became more pronounced, soon the musketry was indistinctly heard and as you ad- vanced farther it became louder aud louder then you could hear the volloys of musketry very plainly, and realized what was before you.
 It began to grow dark, partly because of approaching night and partly from the smoke, for you were nearing the battle field and darkness increased, and as you entered woods that shut out all light, you began to meet ambulances bringing back the wounded. The rough roads shook them up so that they would cry out and Eroan, making the darkness al- most hideous.
 The road was narrow and the ranks had to divide ahd march in the brush, as best they could and let the ambul- anoes have the road. You were so fa- tigued by the march that you scarcely comprehended the hideousness of the scene. but it was terrible and never to be forgotten by you, so tired, so com D etely worn out, that you were hardly able to move, Torch lights that wer6 carried by those leading back the wounded tended to make the night most gruesome. Still on you moved to the North Anna river, near Oxford, and crossed on pontoons at Jericho Ford, filed into a cornfeld and lay down to sleep-and oh, such sweet sleep

CARLETON'S LETTER
1.-The Lord Only Knows When the Ses- \ sion Will End"

1.-The Lord Only Knows When the Ses- \ sion Will End"
 Hartford, August Flour years ago to-day the general assembly of 1907 ad- journed sine die, after appointing a special commission to investigate the subject of public utilities regulation; two years ago it took twenty-three days more to wind up the session; the Lord only knows when the session of 1911 will end. Recent sessions of the House have de- generated into horse play of which the members do not appear to feel as much ashamed as they should, and the House still has a calendar which makes a mag azine when printed To be sure many of the matters on it are routine matters which will not take much time to handle, but there are enough others which will.
 The Senate keeps it's calendar pretty we'll cleaned up and 1t Is not unlikely that 1t will send more or less official message to the House this week that the lower branch may have only four or five days more before the Senate will adjourn aud leave the House to fight 1t out alont |. If both houses were willing to sit foul days this week, put in good fternoon sessions and even evening sessions, il might be, there would be no difficulty in cleaning up all the business this week. And it can be readily cleaned up in eight days of the sort of sessions we have been having, despite the tact that there are more matters between the houses on disagreeing action than has ever been the case before, probably.
 Direct primaries may take little time in the House. It was great surprise for the Senate to pass this measure, which is the most radical thing that has come before the present general assem-. bfy. It is not favored by the leaders in either party. The Democrats stand for direct primaries. but they don't like this bll! The last Republican state conven. tion is given as the reason why We should have 1t enacted into law.

Williams Restaurant Closes

When Eugene Williams closes his res; taurant on Railroad street next Saturday night, he closes it for good and all, so far as he is concerned. He has decided to go out of the business in which he has found plenty of hard work and worry without adequate compensation. Will llams' restaurant has been a popular place with the young men of the place, business, but the expenses have been out of all proportion to the income, and the proprietor wisely determines to discon- tinue to labor under conditions that afford no prospect of becoming reason. ably profitable.

ThoroughIy Oiled

After the streets had received their double coating of oil, and the slight sprinkling of sand and kneading of the mixture. by travel had absorbed it to some extent, it was discovered that there was still considerable quantity remain ing in the ear-tank which must be\dis posed of, so the oil-wagon was sent around again to give the roads an addi- tional coat. The streets are now oiled. There's no doubt about that Even the most persistent shrieker for oil is satif- fed-s.ud more, too.

OIL TRIPPED THE ENGINE
Clue to What the Engineer Said When
 the Wheels Slipped.


 The muttered imprecatiQns and vigor- ous outbursts of profanity that the newly oiled streets called forth from people who ''put their foot in it." were not the only vehement explosives for which the oil was responsible
 The first train over the Main street. crossing, after the oil wagon had iubri- caTed the highway crossing planks, car tracks and all-was the evenihg express. There was heavy train on that even- ing, and the locomotive had to bear down hard to get it SunderI headway on leaving the depot.
 When it struck the greased rails it went "off it's feet in an instant, aud the driving wheel slipped and whirred like an electric fan. The engineer was taken by surprise. But his surprise was not of the kind that strikes fellow dumb-quite the contrary. He said things And as the wheels continued to whirr, and grease the rails still more as they whirred. he said other things.
 Fortunately there is no record of the things he said, but the lurid and sulphur ous haze that followed in the wake o1 the engine smoke gave clue to the grammer in the cab.
 It was not until the train had reached point some distance beyond the fire district limits that the engine resumed its normal gait, but the lurid haze fol lowed the trail of smoke until the trair was out of sight.

 MT. Yale was one of the interesting characters of Norfolk, having been one of the original "forty miners" together with the late L. L. Whiting and Levi P. Phelpf. While in California ill 1857 he lost the sight of both eyes by a prema. ture blast, but though thus handicapped he has b, en ever since a man of large business enterprise and ability and owned valuable real estate in Norfolk and elsewhere. He was great lover of good ho ses and from the sense of touch was able to tell with remarkable acsura- cy much regarding the points, age and weIght of the animals. Although he had driver he was formerly accustomed to care for his horses, personally harness them and the like. It is said also that he had wonderful ability in determin ing exactly where they were, drlv- ing many miles from Norfolk. He also had great skill in determining the de nominations of bills and on more than one occas ion is said by his oleverness to have defeated attempts made to pass small bills for those of larger denomina- tions. He was a man we'll informed on public questions and was quietly inter ested in many local subjects. When the old local telephone was first installed in town be had a receiver put in the church under the pulpit and connected with his house.
