Unconscious Humor.
There was recently evolved a bit of
unecnscmus fun on Isaacs street that
would rival the best and most innocent
wit of the latest importation from the
Emerald Isle, that "gem uv the sac.”
A thrifty little housewife.'wh01n we
will call Mrs. Gilroy, because that is
not her name, was solicited by her
honest and sober-sided Celtic washer-
woman to purchase half of a pig she
was about to have slaughtered. Said
Bridget, “Share Marlin, it’s the illi-
gentest pig yez eVer seen in all yez
life; it’s a darlint an’ no inisthake ; fur
havn’t ’Oi taken the darlint in me arms
and hugged an’ kissed it like a baby. as
it is ; and share havn’t o"i schrubbed an’
soapcd him iv’ry Saturday wid me
washin’ suds, an’ made l:iui shine. clane
an’ swate as the War (liii’ himself _: aii’

so he was; an’ didn’t the childer all

woman an’ must kill the darlint, for
our winter’s mate an’ shure it‘s half uv
him o’id loike yez to have now, Mis-
tress—an’ wouldn’t yez take it 2”
“Well, I don’t. know, but I would
like to lay down a bit of pig pork for
winter, just as father used to do up in
the country. It’s so nice. to try with.
and boil with vegetaoli s,” said Madam.
“But how much would half your pig
be worth, Bridget '9" "Well, it’s
mesel’ as can’t jist tell. I don’t. know,
but the naburs sea as pork an’ pgs has
gone up and share it’s mcsel’ that has
me heart achin’ [ii-:11? o’iv got to murd-
ther the pig at all, at all: but me na-
burs says as how izalf the pig ought to
bring me iinc d».lars. il,s such a mate,
swatc un’ illigeu. pig.” “Vine dollars
seems a good i ill for half a young
pig,” quotn Simian. Then a bright
and happyidei struck the .‘ladazn and lit
up her really intelligent brow and il-
luinined her whole face. as she thus en—
ded the coloquy and clinched the bar-
gain. “Well. Bridget.”said she, “I’ll
do this. with you, for I really want to
help you. for you’ve been so obliging
to me an’ done your laun-lry work so
unusually Well. I’ll take half of your
pig and as it will be easier for you, I’ll
let you Come and work out the nine
dollars due for it.” Poor Bridge--
looked puzzled and bewildered for a
moment and member lace flushed with
aSoi‘t of feeling; that in someway she
had done her mistress injustice in not
clearly getting at her 1) iynient propo-
sition, and then with effusive yolubility
replied—"Och, share I will an’ o’ill be
so plased that yez ls haviii’ the pig an’
o’ill cum an’ Work out the nine dol-
lars wid yez, So I will ;an’ o’ill sind the
pig, doun shure, soon as o’i gets him
butchered. so o’i will.” .
Late in the night watches, the ex-
treme ludicrousness of Madam’s plan
of payment for the pork. burst on her
reason, when she broke forth in a con-
vulsive. fit of hysterical laughter. This
awakened hubby, and before she could
control herself sufficiently to explain
he cause of this unusual midnight
eruption of excessive mirth, he became
scared out of his Wits, thinking the
poor wife had becom insane. ‘ This is
the only serious part of it. as he has
been so ill ever since, that he has not
ventured out of doors. /- '
The drollest part of the pig story
however, remains to be stated. \Vhen
Bridget next put in her appearance,
Madam tried to apologize and to explain
the absurdity, but faithful Bridget
wouldn’t accept of apology or expla-
nation. "No, include,” protested
Brdidget, “It’s mesel’ that.’ll kape to
me bargain and yez. shalkhev the pig
an’ I’ll work‘it out jist as o’i agrade to
do it, so o’i‘will, so o’i will.” The B.
L. D. is not informed as to the finale of
the pig deal, but Bridget hasn’t yet
been able to get it through her thick
but honest skull.

being told of her arrest Andrew said,
“I am glad of it. I hope they will

seems to be the "bone of contention.”
Those who know best say that Mary is
more sinned against than sinning.
Andrew called at this oflice a few days

No Justices of the Peace.
There will be no justices of the
peace in the state of Connecticut on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
next week.
It seems that by statute the terms of
the various justices of the' peace elec-
ted all over the state begin on the first
Monday in March and last just two
years. Two years ago the terms of
justices began on March 2d, which was
the date of the month that Monday
happened to come on.
This year the first Monday does not
come until March 6th.
The terms of the old justices will ex-
pire at midnight on March 1, which is
a Wednesday, thus completing their
twoyears, while the new justices wont
begin their duties until the 6th of
March, which comes on Monday.
‘ If the old justices attempt to continue
ii office on Thursday, Friday and Sat.-
urda'y they may find themselves in an
unpleasantpredicament. The probabil-
ity is that now that attention has been
called to the matter there will be no
justice of the peace on those days and
the legislature will probably amend
thelaw to prevent a repetition of the
complication in the future.

Obituary.
MRS. :5. II. HOLMES.
larely has death claimed its own
under circumstances more truly pa-
thetic and painful, than in the sudden
decease of Mrs. Stephen H. Holmes on
Saturday last. Though for many years
deemed an invalid and at times ase-
vere sufferer from heart and other
troubles, yet her young life was kept
buoyant with hepe and trust and she but
recently had moved into and beeOine
settled in the new and beautiful home.
the loving heart of her devoted husband
had just completed for her solace and
comfort. She was a daughter of the
late J. W. Pinkney and a sister of the
late Mrs. Joseph P. Handle. In all
the relations or daughter, wife. friend
and neighbor, she exhibited the same,
sweet, christian spirit and kindly na-
ture that beautified her life. Her fune-
ral will be held Wednesday afternoon.
MRS. C. W. LE COUNT.
Mrs. Mary Dickenson..wifc of Chas.
W. Le Count, of East Norwalk. died
this morning aged (it years and 3
months. She was a noble christian
woman and well known for her many
charitable acts. ~
KATHERINE O’GORMAN.

ter of Thomas O’Gorman. died on Sat-

The Mystery Solved. . '
There has been the greatest curios-
ity fora long time, to discover how it
was that long after midnight and when
the electric lights on the East side, had
been extinguished for hours and all
honest people were supposed to be in
bed, if not asleep, that these lights
from the M. E. church, to Cross street.
Belden avenue and River street would
suddenly flash up and turn the deep
darkness just before day, into mer-
idian brightness. This was not only a
deep and imeomprehensble mystery,
to the natives who chanced to be awake
but asonrcc of serious mortification
and embarassment to sundry bene-
dicts who had tarried too long at the
wine-or other intoxicants and made
“a night of it” with the boys and were
sneaking home in the wee sma’ hours
of the dusky morning and trying to
conceal themselves and their ine'bria-
ted condition from any chance street
walker and their . families. These
blinding electric lights had the ugly
habit of flashing full upon them and
revealing their. identity and condition.
These culprits attributed it to some
mischievous wight connected with
the Electric Light Works, who as
they thought, Was" set ..u'pon, giving
them away. And so the wonder grcW.
until now the murder is out. :It seems‘
that the Superintendent 'of the Elec-
tric plant has a strong weakness for
billiards and betiines ' remains pushing
the ivory spheres at the Club Parlors
long 'aft‘e'r'tmiduiglit,‘ ‘when he: tele.‘
phones up to. his-‘assistants'to flash-on.-
‘the lights so: that-‘he‘amay escape mud-
and pitfalls en route home: -"r'1‘his-I;s"
we arenassured is the full explanation
of the‘mystery. a i» .. g * .-- - ‘ ~

proved, above Jennings wharf. We
wishto build dock, and otherwise ii -
vest'nioney at this point. We cannot
do it, until something is done with the
hill. foot of Orchard street. If this
improvement is made it- would add Sev-
eral thousand dollars to the Borough

find it convenient; a telephone call
will reach us.

D. A. Newcomb has vain lots of
praise for good work done after each
of the last three snowstorms with his
snow plow and horse “old Tom” by
making paths on West Main street.

one of his friends “could he play dom-
inoes as well as he makes paths he
would win every game. As it is he
was none.”

Not. So Grand as 'Nlagura.
A late visitor to the great Victoria
falls of the Upper Zambesi river,lwhich
were first described by Livingstone,
states that their grandeur is unseen, and
for that reason it is impossible to com-
.pare them with Niagara. The immense
river, about a mile wide at this place,
suddenly contracts and disappears, ap-
parently, into the bowels bf the earth,
falling from a height estimated at about
four hundred feet into a gorge narrow-
ing to about five, hundred feet. A
column of spray rises at least three 1111113
dred feet above the level of the river and
may be seen seven miles away, while the
roar can be heard for many miles. But
in no 'place can the bottom of the gorge
be seen, and in. only one place was it
possible to survey as much as 600 feet in
width of the falls at one time.—Phila~

Electric Bin Indicator.
An apparatus has been designed which
will save an immense amount ‘of trouble
and labor in the elevators to tell when
the bin is full. The apparatus comprises
an electric battery, 3. bell and a dia-
phragm which is placed in the bin at a.
distance of about eighteen inches from
the top.‘ The diaphragm is connected
by wires to the battery and bell and
when the bin is full the alarm is started
and continues to sound until it is cut out
by a switch ' provided for the purpbse.‘
The bin is also indicated by the number
of the switch which corresponds to it. by
-a point anniinciator. This, device can
also be applied to ascertaining. the amount
