Loc wood, the Main attest. butchers, lives . at .Belden Hill, driving to and from his place of business morn- , ing‘ and night. Tuesday evening, as is his custom, he. left the store shortly after 6 O’clOck for home.- He is the owner of two houses, the old home- . stead and the house at present occupied by himself, the_ former being unoccu- pied. , He Was. in the habit of stopping at the first mentioned place, to accom- : pany his sister home, she going there . PianOforte,’0rgan and i” to do the milking. O_n reaching there his. sister informed him that the house had been’broke‘n‘ into during the after- noon, and several articles stolen, among others a gun. He then remembered that he saw two men with a gun sitting by the roadside and acting in a sus- picious manner. He immediately start- ed back in his wagon. and catching up to the men, questioned them, first say- ing, “Hello, fellows, -what are you do- ing here.” Whereupou one of the men» struck himi and he struck back,~ knocking the fa low down. He knew that the gun was loaded, and kept close to them for fear that they might shoot. He managed to get possession of the gun, and the men ran into some bushes Fun. It then occurred to, him to see if he could recognize them, and hitching his horse he took his cane, a stout one, in his hand and went back, and as he could see no one he was retracing his the bushes and one of them cried out, “Here’s the —— —-—— ——, let’s kill " him,” and one of them dealt him a blow which was returned by Mr. Ray- mond, and the fellow dropped as if struck with a club. The other man then clinched with him and they both rolled down the bank, Raymond on . top. While he was down, he was kicked in the breast and about the head and arms. _ A_boy happened to come along at this time and he gave an alarm and George Rider and William Josephs came to the rescue, and the men turned andfled, but not before they were rec— ognized as Dan Gantley and Thomas Cook. Mr. Raymond then came here and swore out a warrant for their arrest, and the writ was placed in Constable Moreheuse’s hands to serve. In com- pany With ex-policeman Charles Adams, he started 'after the men and finally lo- cated Gantley at the Fair Grounds and placing him under arrest handcuffed him. They found Cook at his home and arresting him brought both of the men to the station-house and locked them up. Mr: Raymond is at his market this mornin _but he has a frightful looking face. is right eye is entirely closed up and there is a large black and blue swelling under it; there is a bad cut on his car, an ugly gash in his jaw, severe marks on his arms, giving evidence of the terrible punishment he received. Mr. Raymond would have been more than a match for either of the men sin- gly, and it is believed that both will have cause-to remember that they tack- led no coward. Roth Gantley and Cook were mixed up in a robbery at Wilton last fall in which a man named Sturges was stripped of his wearing apparel even to is shoes, but they managed to escape deserved punishment. It is to be hoped that this time thley will be given the aw. 4‘ ‘v‘ * THE LEGEND OF EVlL. This is the sorrowful story Told when the twilight falls, And the monkeys walk together Holding each other’s tails: “Our fathers lived in the forest: Foolish people were they. They went down to the cornland To teach the farmers to play.- “Our fathers frisked in the millet, Our fathers skipped in the wheat. Our fathers hung in the branches, Our fathers danced in the street. "Then came the terrible farmers. Nothing of play they knew. Only they caught our fathers And set them to labor too! “Set them to work in the cornland, With plows and sickles and flails: Put them in mudwallcd prisons And Cut off their beautiful‘tailsl “Now we can watch our fathers, Sullen and bowed and Old, Stooping over the millet, Stirring the silly mold. “Driving a foolish furrow, Mending a muddy yoke, Sleeping in mudwallcd prisons, Steeping their food in smoke. “We may not speak to our fiathers, For if the farmers know They would Eome up to the forest And set us to labor tool" This is the horrible story Told as the twilight fails. As the monkeys walk together , Holding each other‘s tails. ~Rudyard Kipling. Two Strange Brothers. It had always been the habit in the Ward family. if two relatives differed strongly to arrange not to be on speaking terms. Dr. -William G. Ward was once asked how. much he had known of his fa— ther's first cousin, Sir Henry Ward. He replied quite gravely: “I only saw him twice—Once as a boy, when he came to see my father, and then again I had an interview with him about a. matter of business soon after I came into my prop- erty. We arranged at the end of it not to be on speaking terms,” quite a super- flous arrangement, as Sir Henry Ward lived at that time in Ceylon, of which he was governor, and in fact never came again to England for a prolonged visit. Dr. Ward and his brother Henry had been estranged for a year Or so, and one night they met at the Haymarket thee: tor. Each of them had for the moment quite forgotten the quarrel, and friendly greetings ‘_ passed, and they had. a talk about the play. Next morning came a lettegfrpm Henry Ward: DEAR WILLIAM—In the hurry of the m9- mcnt tonight I quite forgot that we hadar- ranged to meet as strangers. and I Write this. 1 lost you should misunderstand me. to sayrfliat I miiik we had better a ere tb our arrange- ment: and I remain, dea Williancyour anec- HENRY Warm}. .

Two of His Ribs Broken. _ Sunday afternon at 2:30 o’clock Pat- rick J. Conners, a hatter, who has been employed at Odd times in Solman’s liv- ' ery stable in South Norwalk, went into‘ a stall to harness a horse. The next that was heard from him was when Ed. O’Connor, hearing a slight noise, leoked into the stall and saw Conners lying on the strew holding onto his side as though in great pain. Being in a great hurry O’Connor did not pay much at- tention to him, thinking perhaps that he had been imbibing too much, and leaving him went about his work. Con-. 'ners crawled out of the stall upon some straw, where he was found a few minutes afterwards by Harvey Shef- field, another employee, dead. Dr. Bohannan was called and hearing the facts thought that he had died of heart- disease. When Medical Examiner Burke - arrived a more thorough examinatiOn was made and it was found that two of Conners’ ribs were broken, which had probably ruptured his liver, causing internal hemorrhage resulting in his death. The body was removed to the residence of his brother-in-law, R. Mc- Allister on Sprin street. v ' It is supposed t at Conners was taken sick while in the stall‘ and fell on the floor and was stepped on by the horse. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. John Malone, of Norwalk. His funeral will take place from St. Mary’s church to- morrow morning. -'P.&—'- Dr. Hale’s Household Cough Cum, Is a purely vegetable remedy pre- pared from rare medicinal plants, a perfect remedy for coughs, colds, hoarseness, loss of' voice, whooping cough. bronchitis, the first stages of consumption, alleys all soreness of the lungs-and chest, and gives perfect sat- isfaction.

A Frightful Case- General State Agent Thrall, of the Humane society, was in town Monday, and investigated several complaints that had been made to him. He ordered a horse belOnging to GeOrge Lockwood killed, also one belonging to Joseph Cunningham. One of the worst cases that came under his investigation was that of a cow belOnging to a 'German named John Knorr, of Cranberry Plains. The animal is afflicted with tuberclosis, in other words the cow has the consumption. She is but a mass Of skin and bones, yet the family use the half pint of milk that she gives at each milking, and that they are not all made ill thereby is remarkable. The, case is such an aggravated one the State Agent will make further investigation in com- pany with a committee from the society. ——-—<§ , Strength and H ealth.‘ If you are not feeling strong and healthy, try Electric Bitters.

He has sat up nights and watched for the thief but to'no purpose. 9 fi- nally decided that the thievmg was be- ing done by some species of a four-foot- ed animal, a mink or a weasel, he told his wife. He did not own a gun. nor neither could he have shot to kill if he .had been possessed of a gun. Neither .did he have a;trap of any kind. Like most geniuses he scratched his head and set his brain at work. Suddenly he jumped to his feet and exclaimed “ Eu- reka i” It had occurred to him. that his'wife had a tabby with four kitten!- ish kittens. Why not set her, (tabby,) in the hennery. That night tabby and her family were transferred to the coop. The next morning be early hied to the trap as he called it. A pungent, smell greeted his nostrils,and as he at near- er it was almost stifling. e finally courageously entered and saw, aye smelled, every evidence that there had been a battle. Two of the kittens‘were dead, the other two were dying,and the mother did not seem. to be fueling very well, but the villain who had mused it all had escaped. It was nearly two weeks before tabby regained her usual health, but no amount of coaxing can get her near the hennery. As, for the villain—well, he never came back. The fruit of the hens had a peculiar flavor for a day or'two but as the owner-.did not want them for home consumption, he cared but little, as what they lacked in quality. was made up in numerical strength, and he is agaiuhappy. Tabby _ now gets a double quantity of milk for d her breakfast. 'Want to Get Out. Much of County Commissioner Row- land’s time recently, as well as that of High Sheriff Clarkson, has been taken up by the importunities of friends"and relatives of persons confined in the county jail whom the former are desir- ‘ous to have released before their fines are worked out. It is very rarely that these officials find a case where such ‘ clemency is deserved, yet each applica- tion is as carefully regarded as though it were founded upon the bestpf claims. Usually theee appeals are deferred until the particular prisoner in ass- tion has served the sentenceof de mte imprisonment recorded against him by the court, and is about to begmwork- ing out the fine, which is a usual part of the punishment inflicted in ofl’ences ' for which a term in jailois demanded. i By letter and otherwrse through the . prisoner’s relativesamd perhaps through his counsel, it is represented that he is really a deservmg fellow, that the sen tence of imprisonment was ample in atonement for the offence, and gene. rally that the prisoner’s former posi- tion is. waiting. for him, conditioned . apon‘ his immediate release.
