Oysters Cheapest Food.

An economic writer, in the New London Day, says:
 Statements have recently obtained circulation which intimate that the price of oysters is higher than it prop erly should be. On Investigating tine facts it will be found that these State- ments are entirely without foundation. The facts show that while almost every kind of food has increased in price dur ing the past ten years (the increases being from 20 to 80 per cent..) the price of oysters has remained practically the same during all of this period, and no, higher price is being exacted for oysters than ten years ago.
 This fact has recently been called to public attention by reason of the in- creased prices of other commodities and the statement has been made that there would be no reduction in the price of oysters this fall.
 In view of the fact that oyster prices when all other foods have, it should not certainly be expected that the price of oysters would decrease, especially in view of the greatly increased cost of producing them.
 Oyster growers are paying higher wages than formerly. They have also the great increase in taxes which have been imposed by the state, and besides the risk of loss by starfsh and storms and other causes they have the addi- tional risk under the employers liabil- ity compensation act.
 In view of these facts, the price of oysters cannot be reduced, and it is possible it may be slightly increased. Under present price conditions, oysters are. now one of the most economical of foods. If sold by weight they would cost about 22 cents per pound, and, as there is no waste in the way of bones and other refuse, they are very econom- ical. While the prices of meats are very high one-half of the weight is lost in bones, gristle. etc.

GOOD OLD NEWS
Cleaned from the Housatonic RepubIi-
 can of 55 Years Ago.

can of 55 Years Ago.
 The Falls Village "Housatonic Re- publican" of May 28, 1859, had the following reference to the starting of the Union Agricultural Society, which used to hold it's fairs and horse races on the Falls Village fair ground:
 "The bill for the charter of the Union Agricultural Society of this dis trict still drags it's slow length along i'll tho state Legislature. Several dis tinguished engineers have gone down to the capital, to look after the motions of the train, and we hope to be able to chronicle by next week that they are on the right track after it. There was to be, and was yesterday, and will be Tuesday, lively Bee, on the Agricul- tural Fair grounds, for the purpose of clearing the track in view of future trains Much spirit was gotten up for the occasion, and considerable was taken down. Cider flowed like water and a litt'e thicker; and beer-the beer~-well, the beer wasn't small. All worked with will, and large amount of work was accomplished.
 Local item: "The Lakeville Brass Band paid our town flying visit on Tuesday of this week, and played one tune very we'll. When they learn another one they will probably come again. Success to them.''
 Winsted: "The Rev. Q. H. 4. Bulkley preached his farewell discourse in Winsted last Sabbath. It was a strong, fearful exposition of what the speaker understood to be the rights and duties of the minister, without any mawkish affectations of sorrow and regret at leaving a position which had become uncomfortable all around"
 The issue of June stated that at the ordination of the Rev. MT. Scudder, as "pastor of the church in Kent" the ordaining prayer was by Rev. Dr Eld- ridge, of Norfolk, and the charge to the pastor by Rev. H. Eddy of Canaan.
 "The Housatonic Railroad company are building at their repair shop in Bridgeport a passenger car 60 feet in length so that passenger trains can run with single car during the winter season. Some of the lodges on the road are being cut away to make room for it to pass.''
 Winsted. "A man was taken up this week for profane swearing. He claimed it was brought on by drinking bad Rum, purchased of Jap Pinney of Colebrook. "Three weddings came off Wednesday night. An Editor, Minister, and a Hibernian. The Winsted Cornet Band turned out on the occasion, and gave them grand serenade of some two hours length"
 Qualifying it. "Some stupid people seem to think that we meant something serious when we spoke about that 'one tune which the Lakeville Brass Band played very well. We reiterate the assertion that they did play that one very well, and we make no doubt, but that they could have played several more if they had considered us worthy of it.''

ROGERS AMATEUR DAYS (Continued from First Page.)
y journal in a hundred miles.

try journal in hundred miles.
 ''I began to cast about for means to make my paper, The Courier, more popular and prosperous than most coun- try papers.
 Fortunately for the success of the experiment, gentleman came into the office one day from back town 20 miles away, and OH my suggestion that he send some local news from his town every week he agreed to try it. He proved to be the right man for the work, as he developed into first-class correspondent, being almost a pioneer who had to learn how and what to re- port. I was sending only eight papers to his town when ho begsn, but at the end of a year I was sending 52 - I had discovered a sort of gold mine that was awaiting development, and engaged correspondents in adjacent towns as fast as could find thom, which was much more difficult then than now, with the result that The Courier's cir culation was increasing with leaps and bounds.
 "Then was invited to deliver an address on the practical management of country newspaper before the New York State Editors and Publishers convention to be held at Watkins in 1868. The honor was promptly de- clined, but my lamented friend, Wm. T. Tinsley of the Lyons Republican, put up job on me by telling the presi. dent of the Association to disregard my declination and issue the annouce- ments, which he did, thus compelling acceptance.
 "That address was the first of its kind, giving some practical suggestions for the betterment of country journals, and describing the methods and bene- fits of publishing correspondence from surrounding towns. It was at the re- quest of my friend, the late George P. Powell, it appeared in his Newspaper Gazette, which went into every news paper office in the country, and DOT tions of it were copied into the London Newspaper World. It was like "let- ting the cat out of the bag," for inn mediately my nearest newspaper neigh Dor began to adopt my methods, and some of them tried to hire my corres- pondents away from mel And now, you do not need to be told, the practice has become universal with all the news papers in the country. Of course, I know the system would have been de- veloped, by somebody, sooner or later.
 "But, you cannot realize the diff culties attending the early efforts in publishing the news from many villages anG, hamlets, where it was such an in- novation that many old fogies made noisy protest against it. Some people demanded that their names should not appear in print, which in some cases was mere pretense, some made threats of horse whipping; and I still preserve an anonymous letter threatening to burn the new Courier Building (which had built in Great Barrington) if I did not stop printing gossip from the writer's villagei But did not stop, and the Courier building still stands"
 "I understand Whipple has adopted a political career.' "It was the other way about. A political machine adopted Whipple, and now his career is assured. "-Birmingham Age Herald.
 "Tommy, you should drink what water you want before you go to bed. I had to get you drink four times last night"
