BIRTH AND DEATHS FOR
 FEBRUARY IN STAMFORD.
Special to The Farmerl

lSpeclal to The Farmer)
 Stratford, March 6-The report of the registrar of vital statistics for the month of February shows eight Dlrths, four deaths and two marri- ages. From this it, is evident that the excess of births over deaths in the last few months has not been ac- cldental but is the result of a we'll established law of percentage.
 b1rths-To John and Rosie Dicerdo, son; to John and Mary Bayus, twin daughters; to Harry L. and Helen Lewis. "a daughter; to Fardito and Rosie Mighetto, a son; to Frank H. ana Catherine Rowe, a daughter: to daughter; to Richard K. and Ethel M. King. a son.
 Maria ges-Otto Krehn of Bridge port and Martha Gradner of Strat- ford; Edward Leonard and Leah Evans both of New York
 Deaths-Olive Amelia Wheeler, Margaret Newton. Ellen Sophia So- derquist, Jane A. Warner.
 It will be noticed that this month records pair of twins in the Bayus family of the west end of the town. This is proper move on the part or residents of the town and adds to the percentage of increase materially It might be good thing for the board of trade to offer a prize for every pair of twins born in the town. Such an offer would probably create some jealousy in the minds of the Bridge port Board of Trade and be regarded as taking an unfair advantage but it would be good thing nevertheless.
 The Leonard-Evans marriage was a runaway match and was kept very quiet. The affair was arranged by relatives of the bride in the town and the ceremony was performed in the town hall by Judge Charles H. Peck. The town clerk was bribed and the judge was co-erced into keeping the matter quiet-and they lived happily ever afterward.
