of prohibition in Vermont in oompsrison
with free rum in Canada and license in
Connecticut, with everything in favor
of Vermont. Also stated that in no
place had he ever seen so many drunken
women as in South Nor-walk. He favored
a law restricting the sale absolutely to

anniversary exercises of the Sunday-
school were held Tucsdav evening. for
which occasion the chapel was elabor-
ately decorated with flowers. and a
pleasant entertainment provided. There
was a large attendance.
Last Sunday H. H. Hoffman and some
friends took a walk down Woodward
avenue. and started into the woods at
llayi-s‘s hill, where they discovered a
large bird‘s nest in or e of the trees. They
were all anxious to know what that nest
contained. and finally Hoffman. more
determined than the rest. said he‘d find
out. and commenced climbing the tree.
He got neatly up to the nest. when from
some cause or another an egg fell from
it and landed on his shoulder. where
it broke. Whew! but wasn‘t. it an
old egg! Undoubtedly all the good ones
had been hatched but this. which had
been left to ripen and had decayed in
the process. Hoffman got down the tree
as soon as posmble, and by the aid of
water from a pump removed most of the
egg. except the smell, and went home it
sadder but wiser man. with a determina-
tion to never again let his curiosity lead
him tip a tree.

In all probability there will be a change

About four months ago Miss Mamie
Albertson received a telegram announc-
ing the death of her cousin Miss Carrie
llvde of l‘roton Lake. Last week she
received another hunriiincing the death
.of her uncle. Mr Hyde. and day before
w'isitenlsv she received another annountk
inf the death of the mother. Mrs. Hyde.
There is one son left. and he is nearly
frantic with grief.
IttiWAl‘Tua.
During the past week much .indigna-
tiou has been felt here over the arrest of
six ovatermen on a charge of llieft by
Henrietta White. wife of Edward \Vhite.
This is a continuation of the plan to an-
noy those who 0 ster on what has been
declared by previous courts to be natur-
al oyster ground. but which is claimed
by Cook & Hilton. Two similar suits
have been brought. in each of which the
decision was against the complainants.
Another was at ed to the Superior
t‘ourt. and after it had been argued be.
fore the judge. told the complainant that
it would be necessary for him to prove
his title to the ground. which he did not
atteni t to do. The oyster business con.
duct honestly is abonanzsin many in-
stances. Numbers of our townsiueii
have sold from their own plantations in
about ten weeks. from $3.000 to Mk0“)
worth. and in one instance as high as
$25.00“ worth has been disposed of. but
those who are trying to steal the public
ground from the people. do not suc-
ceed with the business. ‘ it taking about
all they make to fee lawyers in their
fight against right and the people. They
also moms their dupes. whom they have
. promised a portion of the grounds if they
succeed in obtaining them. The fortune
of their ringleader. Henry C. Rowe.
awaits them all. who is notorious in New
Haven for anything but fair dealing.
and whose failure was reported last week.
