 ATTACH CHAIRS.
 YeSterday, Alfred Wakelee had an attachment placed on a number of chairs which have been for some time stored in Henry Benjamin's barn. The chairs, which were stored there by Edward Garry and Rev. C. s. Bull lock, former pastor Of the aNetghbor- hood church. are being held for the payment of a coal bill owed to MT Wakelee by the NeighporNood church and are at present in George Porter building on Main streey.
 There has been some question as to just who was the rigntfua owner Of tke chairs, whether they belonged to George Porter, the Advent Gospel Mis- sion of, Bridgeport, the rIeighborhood church, or to the local tribe of Red Men. There is some difficulty. about the different deeds concerning the property, as none of them state any, thing concerning tho chairs. Mir. Wakelee, however, takes it for grant ed that they are the property Of the Neighborhood church and until the case comes up 1t will not be known whether he is right or not.
