The Passing of One of Norwich's Old
 est Business Houses.

For the past three-quarters of a century the Warrington Temple of Music of Norwich was known through out New England as the center of the music mart. All the standard makes of pianos, organs and musical instru- 1nents, of a quantity not to. be uup1i- cated anywhere in New England be- tween New York and Boston, were al ways to be found at the warerooms of this firm. In music and musical instruments no better and greater se- lection could be demanded of any house in the city. no matter how large
 For years the firm was located at 130 Main street and for the past IA Co IS years at 49 Main street where the concern will terminate its business career. Everyone has taken great in- ferest in what method would be taken to dispose of the immense stock of the old firm, which is very extensive in the lines of pianos. musical instruments, music, organs wall paper. etc., but it was announced yesterday that the en- tire stock was to he disposed of at a sale of the trustees stock which starts today, and no doubt a great many will take advantage of the opportunity to get a selection from the great variety of fine musical instruments left in the warsrooms.
 Without a doubt there are but few homes within 5o miles of Norwich that are not thoroughly acquainted with the reputa tion of the Yerrington Temple of Music for carrying the high est grade of everything in the musical line.
 Many will regret the passing out of the old firm and will no doubt make it a point to supply their wants from what is left in this old established in- Sfitufion

 At Lille. Cambrai. Douai, Valencien- nes Bathune, Lens and at many other smaller places a species of anarchy prevails because the police are in- sufficient to protect the dealers of food from the destructive impulses of the manifestants.
 The processions in some of the northern departments are marching from village to village and running over farms and dama ging dairies and vegetable gardens to indicate hteir sense of grievance against the high cost of food.
 As each village is descended upon the ranks of the manifestants are steadily augmented and occasional in cidants are reported of conflicts be tween the marauders and farmers armed with pitchforks.

The walls are to be of more than usual thickness also, and the floors are to be supported on heavy steel beams. The whole building gives the impression of solidity and mas siveness as it progresses.
