If you see a new pair of oxen on Mr.
John H. Knapp’s place within a few
days, we think it will be safe to say that
they came from Westfield, Mass.

. A reader wishes us to announce that
Lent will begin Wednesday, March 2d,

. and end Sunday, April 17th. By the

way, New Year’s day occurs on Friday

A hearing in the assignment case of

Moore & Harmon is set down for a

. This morning as H. Tilly was hitch-
ing up his horse in front of his shop on
Nprth Main street, the animal became
frightened and ran quite a distance up
the avenue before he was stopped. No
damage done.

Parties living on Stuart avenue feel
rather sore because those who were
most active in getting the council to
have walks ordered laid on that
thoroughfare have not as yet complied
With the edict themselves. "

Baggage-agent Cashow, of the Con-

- solidated road, who has been suffering
\ for a week or more with a large car-

buncle on his shoulder is somewhat im-
proved and it is believed that the “bun-
clc” has given up the ghost.

hear offhis death. ‘
Volunteei"§"‘Hose company, of East

furnished music and the oysters were

‘ served by Prof. Charles Hubbard.

.Builder Raymond is figuring ,on r5
Vised plans for Charles Bosch’s house
on Girard Place. This house- was
awarded to the firni of Brown S;
Hodges some time since, but the sud-
den disappearance of Mr. Brown has
caused Mr.Bosch to annul the-contract.

The steamer Addie V. with the
'chooner George Hurst in tow from
Norwalk gave the signal for the open-
ing of the draw, and in lessthan five
minutes after doing so had run the
chooner hard aground on what is
pawn as the squirrel. flats, and a short
distance above the railroad bridge. -

 

 
 

The members of the No Name club,
with an equal number of lady friends,
boarded the barge Wellington and
started for Bell Island to indulge in an
oyster supper and dance at that popuz
lar summer resort. After the barge
crossed the bridge it became mired in
the mud and in attempting to get it out
the pole was broken. Another vehicle

was secured and the party were taken

to their destination, where they had a
most enjoyable time. They returned
home in a carryall about 3 o’clock this
morning, at which time the barge had
not been extricated from the mud.
number of Borough people took part
in the festive occasion.

On a certain railroad in this country

is a young man who is learning how to ‘

twist a brake. He is somewhat green,
but willing to do all he is told to do,
too willing perhaps as he is sometimes
imposed upon. The other day the en-
gineer of a train told him the smoke-
stack of the locomotive was loose and
instructed him to mount the iron horse
and hold the stack on. “Greeny” did
as told and rode for five miles astride
the boiler with both arms wrappe
around the smokestack. .That he man-
aged to hold on is somewhat remark~
able only because to let go probably
meant death. He will never try it again
however. ‘

' Lobster Hunts.

During the summer months seaside
visitors on our New England coast or-
ganize “lobster hunts,” which are
usually very pleasant affairs. Two
boats carry aparty of five or six to
the lobster grounds where the . guide
tells them that “lobs” are to be
found. In addition to the nets and
basket, a large boiler is brought
along. . '

On some prominent roc which
overlooks the lobster grounds, they
build a fire, and securely fasten the
boiler in some crevice just over the
flame. Clear spring water is poured
into the boiler, which soon begins to
sputter and hiss as the fire burns up
brightly. When a dozen or more
lobsters have been caught, they are
brought to the rock and dumped into
the boiling water. There is a. brief
struggle for life, a scratching noise
in the boiler, and then all is quiet
again.

Some crackers and cheese are mean-
while produced, and a circle is formed
around the fire and the boiling lob-
sters. The light of the moon casts
pale weird shadows on the dark rocks,
while the sea waves dance and sing
monotonously below.

When the cover of the boiler is
finally removed, the beautiful green
of the shells has taken on a bright
red. The shells are easily broken,
and as soon as the meat has cooled
sufficiently, each member of the party
secures a trophy, and begins the feast
of the epicure.

"These excursions are indefinitely
prolonged. Sometimes the difficulty
in getting a good supply of the
crawlers prevents an early return to
the hotel, while the appetite of the ex-
cursionists, sharpened by the salty
air and the excitement of the sport,
occasionally keeps the party out until
the small hours of the morning.

The time for returning, however, is
usually regulated by the moon, as it
is not so pleasant to be on the water
when everything is wrapped in dark-
ness—Harper’s Weekly.

Ho Paid Extra for the Patch.

An old sea dog, Sawyer by name,
was a privileged character on acer-
tain man-of-war, writes a. correspon-
dent, because of his age and the
length of time he had been in the ser-
vice. He eked out his pay by making
and selling uniforms for the other
men, and as he had the market en-
tirely to himself it was natural that
he should become a little automatic
In his dealings. On one occasion a
young sailor wished to buy a pair of
White duck working trousers.

Old Sawyer, holding a pair of second
hand trousers at arm’s length, de-‘
scanted upon their various excellen-
cies until he was compelled to pause
for breath. At that point the young
fellow ventured to ask, meekly :—

“And what might the price be, Mr.
Sawyer?”

The old man hemmed and
and began thus :—

“Waal, young feller, I reckon you
know what white duck costs from the
paymaster, don’t you? Fifty cents a.
yard, ain’t it? And so many yards is
two dollars altogether. Then there’s
the thread, ten cents we’ll call it, two
dollars and ten cents; and the mak-

hawe d,

ing will bring it up to three fifty. I

calkerlate you won’t quarrel with
that; and then there’s this big blue
patch,” he continued, stroking it
lovingly, “I put‘ that in myself last
summer, and it’s a. good piece of
work. I’m afraid I shall have to
charge you twenty cents extry for
that patch, say three dollars and sev-
enty cents altogether.” ,
The money was paid and received
without a word, neither party seem-
ing to think it surprising that patched
trousers should cost more than new
ones—Youth’s Companion.
