Stratforr1, April 6.-The many friends and relatives of the odoriferous black cat that concealed itself under the stoop of Mrs. Samuel Lockwood here. Five of the relatives, however. will suffer no pain through the un9orttfnata event because they themselves ac- companied the deceased to the other side of the 5tyx.
 Anxious because of the continued aD- sence of the member of the tribe that so startled Stratford two. weeks ago by its ability to change the nature of the atmosphere, five relatives of the cat went looking for it. They congregated at the brook at the foot of Elm street, and there organized a searching party of great strength.
 So marked was the strength of the party that it attracted much atten- ton. A shotgun posse was formed and just as the cats found their 1ong-lost relative the hunters found them. Now they are holding a reception in the promised land.
 Dog licenses for this year are due during this month. After May an additional dollar will be attached to the regular fee for those delinquents who have not compiled with the law.
