Danbury is to have an ambulance, such a metropolitan accessory being considered necessary, in view of the many people dumped out of wagons and injured by runaway horses. The prin- cipal conundrum at present is, can they find a horse to draw it, that is notlihble to catch the equine runaway infection of the city, and run away with the am- bulance itself ? a Christmas box of dried fruit fromher parents, Mr. and Mrs. James S.

Connecticut is among the eleven states in which the postal service” is more than self-sustaining, the excess of receipts over expenditures for the last year having been 3132,0918. Total postal receipts, $1,050, 792. 32. The total number of post-offices in Connecticut is 495. The sixty presidential post— offices contribute'the bulk of the postal receipts, the actual amount being 3851,- 289.14. The aggregate salaries of the postmasters in «these cities amount to $109,000. During the year twenty new post-offices were established in the state and nine were discontinued, making the net increase eleven. Thirty-eight ,postmasters resigned; fifty-five were removed ; the commissions of twenty- one e:;pir_ed, and five died. Michael'Ratchford is about complet- ing extensive repairs on his residence in Winnip'auk. formerly owned by the late Morgan T. Smith. He has worked extensive transformations in the inter- ior in the way of rearrangements, dec- orations, etc. ; had the‘house newly and handsomely painted: a new and orna- mental crescent, finely wrought, has been placed about the “deck” on the roof, and a handsome and substantial fence now encloses the entire farm. It is now, without question, one of the most imposing, sightly and desirable. suburban residences in this town, com- plete in its every detail of equipment within and without, fortunate in its location, both as to accessibility 9nd commanding view of the surrounding landscape. Mr. Ratchford will soon begin the erection of acommodious and handsome barn and other out-buildings on the premises. The good natured young chap, known as “Martin Dempsey,” is not afraid of work, of whatever nature, and ishandy at whatever he undertakes, and genera ally succeeds better than he did yester- day morning while assisting about the house of his employer on Main street,. when he was entrusted with the delicate task of carrying a washtub half full of water down the back stairs which were covered with ice. Now a washtub half full of water, as anybody knows, who has ever tried it, is not the . most con- venient thingin the world for a sin» gle person "to carry, even on a level, much less to walk down stairs with, granting that the stairs be safe and free from ice; and the task is rendered all the more difficult when the ice is con- sidered as a factor in the transaction. Martin approached the head of the stairs with all the self-confidence that characterizes him, although at every step the water in the tub swashed and rolled from side to side, like the heav- ing billows breaking upon the beach, causing the vessel to rock unsteadily in his grasp; and boldly he stepped down upon the first stair——but alas for his confidence and his strength of clutch! Thezwicked may stand on slippery plac es, but Martin has not yet :descended to that depth of ,moral depravity where he can preserve an equilibrium and poise. a tub of water in the air when his feet are on nothing. From the instant his foot touched that first icy stair, he “wasn’t in it.” His heels soared sky- ward, his head went the other way, and as he tenaciously clung to the handles of the tub, the inevitable result was that it tilted over, his way and dumped the contents all over him like a sum~ mer shower, and then, bumpity bump—— down went tub and Dempsey to the bot- tom of the stair; he got so wringing wet that he hasn’t dried out yet, and he’s full of bumps and bruises from his heels up to his hair, dressed in his damp suit of clothes. _... . - .,_._._ BURGLARY AT MYSTIC.

' Tslglphmt, a resident of Five Mile River, testified upon examination by Mr. Frost that he had never heard of an accident at this point and that he thought the place a very suitable one ; he had often visited Mr. J csse’s place, in fact he had crossed at this crossing nearly everymorning. Cross-examined by My. Biddle, witness did not think the IOcation dangerous, but did think the Washington street crossing danger- ous. Mr.,\Villiam Jesse next took the stand and in answer to Mr. Frost testified that he had been the proprietor of one of these saloons for seven years and during that time had never known or heard of an accident at this place. There was a passage between his saloon and the fence, which was used con- siderably, _without going through his saloo n, so that a large part of the cross- ing is disconnected from the saloons. He had noticed that people would cross from the platform and wait upon the other side of the track until the train stopped, so as to get into the train and procure a seat. He had never sold liquor or allowed an intoxicated per- son in his saloon. Had always invited intoxicated persons out the rear way. Cross-filiamined by Mr. Biddle. Wit- .lness teatified that he had never heard of an objection to his place ; that there was a large number of people who '— crossed the track without going through his place ; perhaps‘once or twice intoxi- cated men have passed out of the front way, but without securing anything to drink at his place. 'Be-direct by Mr. Hurlbutt, witness testified that. since the-railigad- had erected the fence more people hk'dcrossed through his saloon. Mrs. Mary Creagh. was the next wit- ness and upon examination by Mr. Hurlbutt testified that her husband was dead; that at the time of his death her residence was the same ‘as now. Her husband had been a hatter and had run the saloon two years before his death. At the time of his death he left no other property except this so- loon, and she had no other means of Supporting her two children. Had never. heard of anyone being injured at this, crossing and had lived fifteen years in the locality of the saloon. -. Most of her patrons entered by the side. en- trance and a large number of people crossed through her place without pat- ronizing her saloon. No one had ever objected to her or suggested that her place was an unsuitable one. Mr. Biddle declined to cross-examine the witness. Mr. Christian Swartz was the next witness, and in answer to Mr. Frost testified that he had lived here 22 years, and had been engaged in business during that time ; was a property owner and familiar with the loca- tion of these saloons. Had been mayor of the city several times and was famil- iar with the general and public news of the city and its affairs, and never heard of anyone being hurt or killed at that crossing, No cross examination. Mr. Swartz’ testimony closed the testimony in the cases of Mrs. Creagh and William Jesse. Mr. Biddle in arguing the case said that he could not see any necessity of arguing. it, but if the defense proposed to argue the case he would say a few words. Mr. Hurlbutt suggested that he had nothing to argue. Mr. Biddle then proceeded to review the testimony and state his objection to these saloons on account of their locality. The whole argument of Mr. Biddle was upon the point that the crossing at these saloons was dangerous, and his argument was based entirely upon the killing of three men near this crossing, although the testimony showed that not one of them had been. killed in going to or coming from these saloons, Mr. Hurlbutt followed Mr. Biddle, and thought itstrange that the location of these saloons had not been attacked until the present contingent of minis- ters hadcome to town. He thought it was not ‘bold, manly nor christian, to attack a widow and two fatherless chil- dren without a word of warning. He paid his respects to ex-poStmaster Dun- ning, whose testimony had been so Suc- cessfully contradicted. He thought that any, place was a. suitable place for iselling liquor, but he would not locate a saloon in heaven, because he did not- want to place his ministerial friends in the .way of temptation. He thought temperance was a good thing, but a , temperance bigot was worse than a Adjourned until 2 p, MR. n'l-JL‘I) TH}; BURGESSHAN.

It is not necessary to know the chem- istry of ammonia, or to know how it is made from old hoofs and horns and rank gas liquor, to realize that this drug should be handled carefully, and be kept out of the reach of children.

[New York World] Herman Harrowitz, a Russian painter, suffering from cramps, entered a drug store to obtain a remedy. As he felt faint, the druggrst handed him an ammonia bottle to inhale. Horrowitz, through ignorance, drank the ammonia and at once fell to the floor in great agony. He clutched his throat and stomach, and blood gushed from his mouth. His throat, mouth and lips became fearful- ly swollen and inflamed, and although an antidote was administered. he died in great agony. _ KILLED BY DRINKING AMMONIA. . . [Philadelphia Inquirer.)
