The playground takes the child out of the street, away from the associa- tons of the sidewalk and the gutter, and gives 1t airy, healthful attractive grounds where the associations are agreeable and in every way improving and certainly that Is aomething to be desired. The means for amusement are furnished also to considerable extent in simple apparatus which every child can use. and in many of those arrangements even piles of dry sand arc provided in which the very
 little ones can dig and revel after the manner of the dweller on the seashore. Standard.
 The neighborhood or district play ground is just as necessary for cities as the schoolhouss, and parks are not . substitute for them. They are handy, they check the depredations of boys upon private property, they pro- mote innocent games and hea1thful out of door exercise, and they make for saner citizenship There is no end of good things which may be said of these playgrounds and there is uttle to be said against them. It is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when Norwich will have as many of them <as it has school districts.

 forbidden to kill under heavy pen- atty; but when the law is off the state grants 1icepso to the hunter from the city or village to slay these animals that the farmer has raised.
 But tho state does not, or can not, grant any man license to trespass on the lands of another without his con sent. and the remedy for this evil lies in concerted action by tho farmers to unite in prohibiting all hunting on their lands. 4 A few convictions for violating such prohibition would sufI1co to stop hunt iug; and there would be little demand for licenses, while the farmers would bo able to enjoy the gHme which they feed, and should own in all justice as much as they do the domestic fowl in their poultry yards.

Section Eight, 81 Township Thrty-four
(,D South, Range Forty .(4o) East, on the
supposition that the west half OF said section
had been patented to it by the United States
as swamp and overlooked land, and that sub
sequently said land was purchased by said
Lizzie b. McCarty for value, and a portion
thereof was by her sold and conveyed to
Harriet NJ, Wright, who improved the same
under the belief that said patent had issued
or that the State was entitled to the same and,
Whereas, On February 10th, ooo, the west half
OF said section was entered as a United States
homestead by one Lafayette d. Nets, and
he took possession OF the same, and built a
house thereon claiming adversely to the State
and to all persons holding title under the
State, and then for the first time it developed
not only that no patent had issued to the State
but that the State had, through inadvertance,
never listed said land for patent or taken any
steps soever toward obtaining the same, not
withstanding its said conveyance and the
fact that it had from the date. thereof levied
same from its grantee and his assigns; and, .
Whereas, Said land was in fact swamp land and
the State was entitled to such patent pursuant
to the Act OF Congress OF September 78th,
1850, by reason OF which it appeared that the
State alone possessed the lawful right to con-
test said homestead entry and did thereupon
make such contest in the District and Cen
eral United States Land Offices, making due
nroof as to the nature OF said land: and said
homestead entry has been cancelled and said
land listed and allowed for patent and the
title Of the State fully confirmed and,
