 Within the past few days deeds l have been filed for record in this towr. [ anG, Weston by which Winthrop Perry | ! of Southport conveys to Yale Univer- | sity for the Lbeenfit of it's Forestry de- | partment several hundred acres of | land located in the two towns, but ! ! mostly in Weston. The land is almost | | wholly forest, swamp and brush and | has been put to no practical use by l MT. Perry since he acquired it eight | or ten years ago, beginning with the Joel Perry farm lying along the line
 of the two towns. Later purchases of
 tracts to the sOuthWard increased the |
 holdings to approximately 1,500 acres lCOnjectures that the new owner was
 to convert the territory into a game
 preserve proved mistaken as no move
 in that direction was made and two
 or three monchs ago MT. Perry an nounced his intention of making a
 gift of the property to Yale In the
 deeds he reserves for his own use g.
 bungalow on the former Perry place which he built as a summer residence.
 A comparatively small part of the
 entirH tract will be required by the
 watC- company for the reservoir to be formed from the building of the bia dam across the Saugatuck river in
 Weston
 MT. Perry has offered the water
 company this land as a gift provided
 it would carry out his wishes in re-
 gard to the location of the new high
 way made necessary by the creation
 of the reservoir pond. So far his , proposition has not been accepted. The Sanford school and the Center public school, both of which had been closed in consequence of influenza re- opened this week---and at the same !, time the epidemic caused the closing Of Umpawaug school. In Georgetown, winch suffered so severely during the
 earlier period of the malady but has Tor several weeks been wholly free
 from it, few new cases have ap- peare3. They are confined to two or
 three families and all possible precau- tons will be taken against their ex-
 tending. The first outbreak of the disease in the village resulted in P about half g. dozen deaths.
 The milk producers in this section
 have accepted a slight reduction in
 the prices paid by the Bridgeport buyers. The present rate of the Far
 mers' Dairy Co. is s IA cents and that of Hebard s 1-2 cents, the latter being drop of one half cent from
 the earlier winter rate. Conditions : with the Dairy Co. are materially inn
 proving since Receiver Mckay took charge. November's business showed
 a clear profit of $500 and Decem-
 Der profit of $2,5OO. With the gain
 from January added it is expected to
 declare a dividend during February , or 25 per cent or thereaDouts This will apply on the $60,000 or more of notes held by the producers to
 whom the company has been indebted
 for several months

 ments. Paul COnnery democrat, re-

 l A nine year old boy named Morris, one of several put out by the New England Home of Bridgeport to board e with Mrs. Henry Sanford in Pleasant ? Valley decamped last Saturday l morning after being reproved for = some misconduct. He was seen to t head south on the road to Bridgeport l after inspecting a sign post near his ] boarding place, but at last accounts = had not been further heard from. 3 The steam crane which the U. S. l government communicated from the = Gilbert & Bennett Go. nearly a year n ago, to use in unloading coal at Will ] sons Point, has been returned to ? the Georgetown factory. Meanwhile
 the company had to rely entirely on
 hand labor to handle it's own coal
 shipments, but was aided in the work
 by men supplied by the government from it's Wilson's Point force
 , The judgment rendered last week | by the justice who tried the Kearney
