 bate Court

Just about year ago this timt Santo E. Rizzuto, a laborer of Hamilton street, set out one mornil to get work. He never came bae Police investigated and inquiry among relatives in many cities failed to disclose any clue to hLJ where abouts, and his disappearance has ever since been shrouded in mystery.
 Today in the Probate court Mrs. Rizzuto brought two children before Probate Judge F.. F. Hallen and told pltiful story of her efforts to keep up tho little home that was bereft of support by the disappearance of the head of the family.
 She said that she was able to keep the home together only through the assistance of ,an older daughter who contributed a few dollars a week to add to the mothers earnings. She was obliged to leave the children with the Catholic sisters connected with the Holy Rosary church while she went out from day to day.
 Mrs. RiZzutoS children were taken from her at her own request for she feared they would be in want. if she were obliged to be responsible for them. Judge Hallen sent them to St Francis orphan asylum in New Ha- ven.

Old November Behaved About As
 Usual This Year
Report of Weather Observer Jennings Shows Little Change in Weather Conditions of That Month For Thirty Eight Years Past z
Uncle Horace Johnson, Middle Haddam Weather Seer, Pre-
 diets a White Christmas For
 Connecticut

Weather Observer William Jennings has compiled for the Farmer his re- port on weather conditions during the month of November. The report shows that the maximum temperature was 67 on November 12, while the min tmum was 21 on November 23. The mean temperature was 41.2. The mean temperature for this month for the past 3S years was 41.7. From this 1t will be seen that weather conditions do not vary as much as some people imagine and that the "old fashioned winters" of our fathers were not so cold and bitter after all.
 The total rainfall for the month was 5.6S inches. The greatest in any twen- ty-four hours occurred on November IS and registered 1.53 inches. The first snow storm occurred on the ev- ening of November IS and the total fall was one. inch. On ten days of inch or more. There were twelve clear
 days. eight that were partly cloudy and ten that were cloudy. West winds prevailed during the month. There were no killing frosts, thun- der, hail or sleet storms. The cold wave on the night Of the 18th caused drop in temperature of fl degrees in Is hours
 The thermometer fell to b above this morning. Uncle Horace Johnson, the sage of Haddam, who predicted the great blizzard of 1888, is out with l prediction for a white Christmas. The Hartford Courant prints the fol- lowing this morning on Uncle Horace's prediction:
 Uncle Horace'' Johnson, the Middle Haddam weather seer, has again straddled his house-top and squinted at the stars. This time he is out with 8 prediction of white Christmas, and says there may be other disturb ances before that time. His card reads:
 To the Editor of the Courant:
 thanksgiving past so> satisfactory I will now venture to promise a fine day for Christmas. There will be a disturbance about the 4th of the pres ent month, most likely Snow, perhaps \ rain, not of long duration, may be furious for from to 10 hours. There will be a great disturbance from the 18th to the 22d. Good sleighins for Christmas. Amen Yours,
 UNCLE HORACE''
