COAST sroRM COMING. Right Smart Spell of Wsather Thi. Month, Says Horace Johnsens

Uncle Horace Johnson of Middle Haddam is out with some more advice to those with a weather eye out for what is going to take place weather wise the balance of this month. Some had an idea from the fact that a thunder storm occurred a few days back and that the ground hog came forthwith and did not see his shadow that spring violets would be blooming ere this. But we are going to have right smart spell of weather accOrd- ing to the sage of Middle Haddau1. Here is what he says:
 From the twelfth to the fourteenth of the present month there will be q disturbance of considerable force; q coast storm: 1t will come up along the capes, furious for while; not of long duration. Mariners should keep a sharp lookout: probably tearing southeaster from the twenty sixth to the first of March; all hands on deck All sorts will then he in order from tidal wave to earthquake, etc. Willis L.SMoore, straddle one of your heiro- glyphics; tic a bowlfne in the cows tail, and run before it: mind your weather roll, and don't spill your milk Yours,
 UNCLE HORACE.

WHAT THE FIRST SELECTMAN SAYS|
Explanation of the Trouble at Montvlle and Statement as to What Was Provided for Inmates of the Almshouse There.

For some time past there was been much printed and talked about the af- fairs at the Montville almshouse and poor farm, following the unfortunate occurrence few weeks since winch Charles Dougal froze his feet and was brought to the Backus hospital and sunered partial amputation of the same. A statement has been made by First Selectman Moses Chapman in regard to the affairs at the almshouse as follows:
 almshouse was burned, fire being dis covered at about 10 o'clock a. m. live about two miles from the aln1s- house, so did not hear about the fire until afternoon, and then went inn mediately to the place. There I found Mrs. Blake and inquired if anything was saved. learned that there was part of the bedding and a few other articles. Not seeing MT. Blake, 1 in- quired after him. She said he went the day before on a visit and had not returned. After being assured by Mrs. Blake that they could be made com fortable for the night. went in search of a tenement.
 'The next day, May 12, I procured one-half of four-tenement house at Oakdale, belonging to Palmer Bros. Co. I then requested Mrs. Blake to AuA AIAoiA iiC WILL O ilot Ol dTllCiCS SlIC needed, list to include everything she needed for the comfort of the poor.
 Meanwhile MT. Blake appeared and the next day, May IS. I took Mir. Blake, his team, and the list, and went to Norwich. and bought every article the list called for. The second day after the ire the goods were landed at the tenement. which denies their statement in regard to being deprived of fire and having to sleep on the floor for four nights. through the negligence of the selectman

tember 30 last. when they went to Porteous 6 Mitchelrs Fore at Norwich and ran up a bill of more than $60. almost entirely of dry goods and cloth ing. without the knowledge of the se- lectmeil, with only five inmates In the house. Since that time. we have re- trfcted them to groceries principallys although we are willing at any time, if notified by the keepers, to furnish anything that appears to be for the comfort of the inmates. Mrs. Blake had the privilege, and exercised it, of going to Palmer Bros. CO and order ing all the bedquilts she wished with out any restrictions and during the cold weather they had four stoves which they could use at any time.
 During the heated term q am not referring now to the heated term which the selectmen experienced in January, when they went up there to take an inventoryJ, but the hot weather in July and August. Mrs. Blake came to me and requested that they have the privilege of moving back to the farm and occupying the outbuildings, as the Oakdale tenement was so uncomfortable on account of the heat, also that MT. Blake would be nearer his work. I gave my con- sent to this if the inmates were will- ing It was at this time that Mrs. Avery of Hill Top, Montville, presi- dent of the Sunshine society, carried to them a large amount of goods, mostly clothing, enough, 1 understand, to last them at least one year. This was about two months previous to the bill they contracted at Porteous & Mitchelps store. which they say they were compelled to do on account of the threadbare condition and the suffering of the inmates.
 "The trouble with the Blakes, think. is not that they have so much sympathy for the poor inmates, but that they cannot domineer the select men and manage the town affairs themselves.

 First Selectman.
