CHAUFFEUR DISAPPEARED
pr. J. J. RusesII Found Joseph lang- lois at Bottom of Swimming Pool.

Joseph Langlois, employed by Dr. J. J. Russel as a chauffeur, nearly lost his life while in bathing recently He and the doctor went to a pool known as Tuortellotte's in the Little river, for swim. The pool is not over four feet deep at any part. The doctor looked around suddenly and could not see Langlois anywhere. The water IS clear and he discovered Langiois lying on the bottom. He pulled him up and got him as speedily as possible to the bank where he gave him the neceS- sary aid. It was over quarter or an hour before Langlois showed signs of returning consciousness. The man was fortunate in having a doctor with him or he would have doubtless lost his life. An attack of heart failure caused Langlois to loose consciousness. The last thing he remembers he says was trying to call out, I'm going" but his effort must have been futile as the doctor did not hear him. Langlois has been unable to work since his eXperi- ence as it left him in a very weak con- dition.

 No Army Worms in Town Yet.
 The army of worms is now to the i south and west of Putnam but as yet not a worm has crossed the border line of the town so far as learned. except a few brought over from Pom fret and exhibited to people curious to see what they look like. The latest place is at the Perry Moffit farm in l Pomfret where they destroyed an acre I and half of oats, all there was on the farm. The J. D. Chapman place near by, also the Eleanor Mathewson place have been visited and oats and corn
 have been damaged by the army. l There are thousands of the worms | but those who have seen them think | there are not as many as have been reported elsewhere. MT. Moffit said they got in unawares and when they | did, there was nothing to do but let
 them eat. Ballouville on the south
 border of Putnam just over the Kill lingly has reported the army and
 the farmers in the southern section of | Putnam are on the lookout and are
 anticipating the arrival of the pests.
