There were the steamers D. K. Cole

NEW CANAAN ENIDINED.
ALegal Battle Before Mrs. Ponnoyhr is
Paid for Her Dead Cow.
When the New Canaan town meeting
voted to pay Mrs. Pennoyer. $40 for the
loss of her cow, which, as alleged, died
from the bite of a mad dog, the matter
appeared to be settled. But there is to
be further action. The selectmen have
been enjoined from paving the money,
and a hearing will be had to show cause
why the injunction shall not be made
permanent.
It is alleged there is no proof that the
cow was bitten by the dog; that no one
saw the dog within forty rods of the
cow, and that the town had no right to
vote the money until it had been shown
that the cow died from the cause al-
leged, and that the town is legally Ie-‘
sponsible for the loss. Further than
this, it is alleged that the cow was not
worth 840, or near as much as that.
James Hoyt, who is an authority upon
cattle. made an examination as to the
age of the cow, and his conclusion is
that, instead of being only seven years
old, as represented, it was at least
twelve years old. It appears that the
cow was raised by A. Buckley, on the
Merwin - farm, Norwalk, and was
brought to New Canaan eight years ago.
It will cost the town considerable
money for court expenses because of
the injunction, and thecase of Mrs.
Ponuoyer’s cow may become another
f‘celebrated crse,” like that of the
sheep, claimed by each of two persons
as their property, and about which
they went to law with the result that
the case was continued in court until
long after the sheep had died a natural
death, and until after both of the two
litigants were reduced to pov'erty in
paying court fees and lawyers’ bills.

McCarthy’s Mishaps.
Barney Ferguson of Ferguson it Mack
who are known on both sides of the
Atlantic as exponents, inventors and
originators of that remarkable form of
comedy which is known as an Irish
knock-about act, is the star of McCar-"
thy’s Mishaps," which will be seen at
Hoyt’s Theatre, to morrow, matinee
and evening. He will give several exhi-
bitions of great skill with his partner
in a gentle art which was conceived in
his own brain. A knock-about act is
laughable because of the surprise not
to be prevented by any amount of
familiarty, which comes to the specta-
tor when he sees a man doing a fellow
creature 'a grave .bodily injury in a
spirit of jest, and the excellence of the
performer depends upon the success of
the illusion, which, in the caseof Fer:
‘ guoon and Mack, is very great.

THE AUREOLE o‘F LOVE.
A True Story Showing That Heal Affec-
tion is ,Never Diminished by Time.
Over a quarter of a century ago, the
aureole of love cast its radiance over
the lives of two young hearts in New
Canaan. The pathway of “love’s young
dream” seemed strewn with flowers,
and the mutual affection shown by
these two young lives seemed to their
friends likely to culminate in the bliss
of wedded happiness. As the years
rolled on, the friendship thus formed
seemed but to linger asa friendship,
the cares of life takingthe young man
to a nearby city, where, in the rush
and bustle of business the lives of these
young hearts seemed to grow farther
and farther apart. The young lady,
who had now neared that epoch in life
deemed an old maid, carefully, indus-
triously and cheerfully. attended to the
welfare of her parents in their declin-
ing years, a regular attendant at the
church to which she had united in her
younger life.seeking none of the frivol-
ities of life, her circle of friends were
met Sunday after Sundayin her church
and its religious societies.
The man had now grown to and past
middle life, and his head had shown
the fronts of time, yet year after year
had flown by and still his heart, dear
to the one of his first love. Returning
to his old home for a season and meet-
ing the object of his first afl‘eclion,- the
fires of a tender regard were rekindled
anew, and to friends announcement is
made that soon these hearts, now nearly
at the half-century of life, will be
united ’til death do them part May
the union of these true heartsybe con-
summated in the sunshine of happiness,
and may their days be prolonged and
joyous in the mutual love of each.—
Stamford Advocate.
NEW HAVEN’SISONCIIIOUSE.
Strange Little Creature That Trills and
Chirps Like a Canary.
Mr. John Smith, of 231 Columbus
avenue, has captured a singing mouse.
The little creature since its imprison-
ment, is none the sadder, for it chirps
and whistles trills and pipes quite as
well as it did before it was trapped.
Mr. Smith caught the mouse about a
month ago. For weeks before its cap-
ture the singing could be heard by the
household, now from one part of the
room and again from another, until'the
family began to believe that the ghost
of some former household canary was
haunting the place.
In appearance the mouse is like an
ordinary one, except that its tail' is a
trifle longer and its hair is a little longer
and darker in color. While its voice is
not so telling in quality as that of a can.
ary, the tone is wonderfully sweet and
flexible. .Mr. Smith has just finished a
new cage for his canary-throated mouse,
larger and more comfortable, than the
ordinary trap in which ithas lived since
its capture. lle feeds it on bread,
cheese, crackers and any other things
that food mice are supposed to subsist
on and the prisoner has grown to be ex-
tremely tame. It sings most sweetly at
night. and its song can be heard dis-
tinctly from all parts of the lower floor
of the house.» Mr. Smith has grown
very fond of his singular pet, and ex-
hibits him fondly to all his visitors..—
