Gray Squirrel m Pond.

A New Hartford correspondent says: Special Game Protector Clarence B. Gillette, of Winsted, was in town Thursday Investigating a case of gray squirrel shooting by John Heacox of this place. After a complete investi- gation of the matter MT. Gillette de- cided not to prosecute MT. Heacox as he condidered the circumstances so un- usual as to merit such action. On Wednesday, MT. Heacox who lives on the easterly shore of the Greenwoods pond, just above the Brick Mill, saw something swimming swiftly in the water. He at first thought it was a snake or large rat and procuring his shotgun blazed away. The creature was wounded and was splasbing about in the water when captured by William Water, a nearby neighbor. Great was the surprise and astonishment of all to discover that the animal was large gray squirrel which had apparently left his woodland home and was taking an eventful trip across the pond.
 The squirrel was not fatally wounded and the shot was extracted and wounds annointed with vaseline by MT. Water. The facts came to the attention of the game warden and the investigation fol- lowed. This is the first time in history of local hunters and sportsmen that a gray squirrel has been shot on Green pond or any other body of water. Fishermen in town have come home with all kinds of yarns concerning the size and species of fish taken from these waters but this is the first ''fur bearing, nut eating, four legged fsh' ever recorded as being caught on the | local pond

Yale Field Artillery.

Plans for the formation of company of heavy field artillery among Yale un- dergraduates and men in the graduate department were announced Monday night as a part of the plan for national preparedness. The battery will be re- cruited to 138 men and Major General Leonard Wood, U. $. A., will detail in- structors to drill the men.
 The university, it is said, will con- tribute $50. 900 towards providing bar racks and until such are ready the bat tery will use the baseball cage. The Connecticut National Guard will fur nish guns, equipment and mounts to the value of $135,0 900. A range for ar- tillery practice will be provided as we'll. Some months ago when the Mexican situation was believed to be acute, an effort was made to raise cavalry com pany at Yale and many men were ready to enlist. This company will also be recruited and will be aided by the cavalry arm of the National Guard.

a5,e3I Connecticut Autos.

Secretary of State Charles D. Burnes issued Friday a statement of the re- ceipts of the automobile department for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1915. The total receipts mounted to $536. .970.09. For the previous fiscal year of 1914 the receipts amounted to $406. 623. 34. This shows an increase of 24. per cent. for the year. There was au increase in the number of pleasure and commercial automobiles, the number for the past year being 35, ,e31. There are now 2.467 livery vehicles registered, an increase of l, = ITS. The number of licensed autumo piles operators at the end of the year just closed is given as 90. .l79, an in- crease Of l3, S07 over that of last year The motor cyclists have increased 455. the present number being 2,S03. The amount received from fines for the violation of the automobile law was S8,993. All the money taken in by the automobile department was turned over to the highway department to be used on the repair of state highways. Under the law not dollar of it can be used for any other purpose, not even to pay the expenses of the department. Nor can any of it be used ill the con- struction of new highways. It is be- lieved that the receipts for the coming fiscal year will exceed the amount re- ceived during the year 1915 fifty per cent.

Sarah Larrigan.

Mrs. Sarah Larrigan, of South Nor walk is no more. The announcement probably doesn't mean anything to the present generation of travellers, outside of South Norwalk, but from 30 to 40 years ago hardly railway tourist who had occasion to journey through that city, but knew the buxom, ever good natured but sharp -tongued and witty Irish woman who presided at the depot lunch counter, when the station was on the ground level and on the princi- pal avenue. Many a passenger who came to know her, made it convenient to have an appetite for at least a piece of pie and cup of coffee while the train was standing there. just for the chance to get a cheery greeting, or swap badinage with "Sarah," flew Of them ever knew her last name.) Be- sides peppery tongue which effectually squelched many an upstart who essayed to be "smart'' at her expense, Sarah had a big, generous heart and was a genuine and helpful friend to those in need or distress.
 It is many years since Sarah disap- peared from the railroad station res taurant, in consequence of changes of management which came along with the more pretentious new depot build ing, but her activities as benefactor, sunshine dispenser and friend Of every Lody had continued, all these years, at her own little restaurant and boarding house in South Norwalk, until her death last weak She was onn of Norwalk's most interesting and best known characters, and genuine sorrow for her death in universally expressed where she was most intimately known.

Constitution of Knocker.

The following item from the Eastern Elk and credited 10 Waterbury police man, has such universal application that it is worth reading twice:
 "When the Creator had made all the good things there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects, and when He had finished, He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the rattlesnake, the hyena, the scorpion, and the skunk, so He put all these to gether, covered it with Suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak and called it a Knocker. This product was so fearful to contemplate that He had to make Jmething to counteract it, so He took a sunbeam and put it in the heart of child, the brain of man, wrapped these in civic pride, covered it with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel and called it a Booster; made him lover of fields and flowers and many sports, believer in equality and justice and ever since these two were, mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his asso- ciates.

Strike Nipped in Bud.

A disturbance that took place at the Plainville mill of the Bristol Manufact- uring Company, Thursday noon, passed over quickly. The spinners had a slight grievance that materialized about noon time and they were discussing what they should do when General Manager Arthur D. Hawley from the Bristol office drove up. He immedi- ately conferred with the spinners and the result was that the men returned to work with the understanding that the men would receive the same wage scale that the Tristol mill of the con- rany has.

There are painters and walters. Which am I going to do? Paint or wait?
