Acres of corn and potatoes have been cut down and many other crops have been badly damaged, On the Maindon farm, on the Green Hollow Toad, an acre ‘of strawberry plants was blight- | ed; on the Byron Wood farm, on the | South Killingly road, a large field of | potatoes was nipped. Tomato plants also suffered severely, many losing all they had set out. The frost cut unusual pranks in some fields, snipping a row of growing stuff. skipping & half dozen more, only | to 1éave the mark of its blackening | presence on alternate hills of other [Tines of promising garden plants. In | other flelds long rows of corn were | withered between other rows that were not at all affected. Some of those who have suffered are undecided as to whether they will allow the undam- aged parts of their crops to continue to go or replant the fields. The early date may cause some of them to adopt the latter course. ALL BUT $9,347 Collected by Tax Collector E. J. Dar- bie.

Through the generosity of the mem- bers of the class of 1910, a notable addition has been made to the collec- tion of statmary at Killingly High school. Their gifts, which makes a | fine memorial among the sculptural | decorations in the assembly hall, are busts of Demosthenes and Sophocle: & shield and a remarkably fine repro- | duction of the Urania in the Louvre. | This last etatue is seven Yeet in height and cost $100. It is representative of one of the muses of Greek mythology (the heavenly one). the muse of as- | tronomy and_celestial forces and the arbitress of fate, second only to Cal- liope in the company of the muses. | As in the original, the cast represents | Urania holding a staff or compass for indfcating the course of the stars. It is to be placed at the rear and on the Zft side of the stage. The busts have been mounted at each side of the artistic clock face over the south side entrance to the hall, and the shield over the entrance on the opposite side and between two other busts. Funds from entertainments were used in the | purchase of the gifts. Since the opening of the mew high schoo! the art collection has grown (o quite surprising proportions. That this fact is not generally known is in- agloated by the small number of the | town paople that have called to view it. A visit for this purpose alone would be amply repaid. All of the casts are of fine texture and have all | the detail of the original. They are of | the class that have found places in the | Metropolitan Museum in New York, | the Art Institute in Chicago and the | Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. They | are by the most celebrated makers of plastie reproductions of anclent and modern sculpture fn this country, and cannot but be an aid in developing the | artistic temperament of the students | | of the school. | | Personals. .
