In the clay beds Of the valley OF
Connecticut are found curious concre-
tions, specimens Of which. sent TO Eng

society as long ago as 1870. These
concretions appear In four principal
types: Disk shaped, cylindrical, boz
troidal Descending grape clusters),
and irregularities. some Of which strik-
iassy suggest limitations Of animal
forms. A remarkable fact is that each
clay bed has q form OF c0ncretion Pc

are never found intsrmingled n the
same bed. The beds are composed OF
stratified river drift clays, or Cham
plain clays.-New York Evening Post.

News Of the County
RarksdaIe-EiDeen to
Dissolve High School

At a special election held in the
joint high school district OF the
towns of Barksdale and Eileen on
Tuesday of this week it was voted
to Dissolve the joint district, which
will probably mean the closing OF
the high school in the town OF Banks
dale, known as the Ondossagon
school.
The people of the town of Eileen
turned out in large numbers to the
special election and the question OF
disolvine the district was carried by
a good margin, so it is claimed.
The people of the town Of Eileen
for some time have been complain
ing OF the burden which the operat-
ing of this high school has ca"sed,
the high school and graded depart
ment having cost close to $4,000 to
operate during the present year.
The large income tax which was
received by the town of Barksdale
from the du Pont company during
the war, has been cut off and the
Eileen people were fearful that this
would cause an additional burden
upon them, and there was. great
agitation in the town for the aban-
doning of the joint shfgh school dis
trict.
Town officials of Barksdale are
undecided as to what course will be
pursued toward maintaining the
school as it has been maintained
DURING the past few years.
