The roll call, which was on current events called forth a wide anfi ex- | ceedingly interesting variety of re- ponses, matters ‘ranging in import- ance from the recent establishment |of a republic in Portugal to a dis- { cus of the local water question, {coming in for consideration. | The subject for the evening was | i Territorial ‘Expansion, and along this two fine addresses were given.

The North Stonington people reason that the road is here and it must be run, by someone else, if not by the original companye That is the bright way of looking at it. The road was wanted up in that country, and if they could do anything to help it along they did it. As a financial success, they sambled and lost. That is something the wav the M: tic people have been. booming their village. The village has grown in population as much as any village in this section of New England. - Em- ployment has been offered and accepted. Money bas been raised there and outside of the village for enterprises, a number of which have gone the way of the bankrupt courts. But the buildings remain, and they will be used by others if not by the original manufacturers. A few years from now the losses will be forgotten, and flourishing and growing indus- tries may be found in the buildings. It is the hope of the future that helps the farmers of North Stonington to bear the loss which will evidently be theirs. 1 e i Betting on the Bay State.

According to advices from Wash- ington, Ansonia has been designated as one of the forty-eight postoffices in the United States at which the postal sav- ings bank authorized by congress at its last session, will be given a trial, says thc Ansonia Seutinel. The list approved by the postal savings bank trustees includes one second-class of- fice for each state and territory. Why Ansonia_was selected is not known. The local postoffice officials made no effort to secure a postal savings bank here, and it is not believed that any postmaster in the country made a move in the matter. The government is preparing to give the system a trial, and will oven a bank in each state to see how things work. If meet with popular favor others will be added to the list. New England, Crop Producer. Here's another man who has found that New England can produce apples thath are really golden fruit. Henry Fenno. a Boston business man, went to Westhoro, bought a farm with a small old olchard on it, and put the trees in shape. Result, $300 from a few trees that a few years ago were looked upon as cumberers of the ground. Other men are finding out that fruit can be made to pay in New England.
