 A Connecticut paper. the Putnam Patriot, observes, incident to the death, in Pomfret. few days ago, interest to note that his father was one of the party who was with Gen. Israel Putnam when the latter figured in the historical incident of Killing the wolf at the den in Pomfret." Aft CT this famous feat. The Patriot says, the party adjourned to the Kings bury home. where a celebration of the killing was held, the wolf being hung from a peg in a great beam that ran across the full width of the house. after the manner of construction in vogue in those days It further ap- pears that this peg. being so excep- tionally distinguished, was thought worthy of receiving a silver band, and is now in the possession, in California, of & brother of the late Mir. Kings bury. The historic beam has been taken from the house and made into joist for neighboring corncrib, but even so attracts souvenir hunters, who crawl under the crib to secure. chip of the wood. This is an interesting tale, but one cannot help wondering a little about it.
 According to the International En- cyclopedia. the Putnam wolf hunt occurred in the winter of 1742-43. In tHdt year tnc future 1OutiHeHtdi coHl- mander gave evidence of unusual coolness and interpedity by entering cave alone and, by the light of a torch, shooting wolf which had taken refuge there" He was then about "A years old. Supposing, for the safe of argument. that his com panion, MT. Kinssbury. was of his own age. he must have been 106 years old when his son. Phiol T. Kingsbury, who has just died. was born, for the latter was S7 at the time of his death. Will the eastern Connecticut histor- ians kindly straighten out this tam gle 1e?-Providence Journal.

&(F THE BILL REGENT Jb ly passed by the House
 is concurred in by the Senate, the membership of the House of Representatives will be increased to 433. The present membership is 3o1, and under the present seating there is al ready a lack of room in the Chamber. In order to pro- vide for the increased member ship, the 3oI desks will be removed and the members in future Congresses will be obliged to occupy benches, as in the case of the British Parliment. While of course it is very convenient for the members to sit at handsome mahogany desks, still as a matter of fact, their clerical work is all done in the spaci- ous office building erected a few years ago. During the last session the Senate failed to concur a similar measure which was sent over by the House. This failure upon the part of the Senate was attributed to the desire to conclude the affairs of Con- gress on March 4th, and the measure pertaining to reap pointment was left as unfin- ished business.
