The town school committee are to make an investigation as to the cost to the town for the instruction of each student in the High school, this to de- termine whether the tuition fee now charged for out of town students is sufficiently high to meet the cost in- curred. Killingly charges out of town students $40 a year, which is at the rate of 31 a week. Secretary Charles D. Hine of the state board of education says that the average cost a year for each high schocl student’s instruction throughout the state_is between $60 and $70. The rate in Killingly is considered low, so low, in fact, that it will probably be shown that Killingly receives students from other towns at a loss. If this is found to be the case, it may be decid- ed to make a slight advance in the rate charged. Perils of a Railroad Journey. Two Danielson ladies who are now visiting in Minnesota write home of an experience on a night railroad trip during a heavy storm that made their position dangerous. Their train was proceedine slowly because of the fear of washouts and falling trees, when a large tree toppled over and crushed in the roof of a sleeping car on a train, the trunk grazing the back of a wom- an who had just arisen to a sitting posture. in her berth. If the tree had fallen a minute earlier it would have killed this passenger. The {rain was twelve hours late and was stalled for three hours. Steam Heat in Dayville School.

Soventeen ®ead of cattle, a bull and three heifers, constituting a valuable herd of grade and thoroughbred Jer- seys. were lost in the fire that destroy - ed the big barn on the Henry T. Chiil place at Woodstock aftar it was struci by lightning Friday night. The herd was one of the most valuable in this county and members of it have won prizes at the various eastern Connec. ticut fairs. There was no time to get the animals out. though some were r leased from the stanchions by the first persons to arrive. The frightened ani- mals could not be driven out of what | developed into a flery furnace within a remarkably short time after the light- ning got in its work. Two hundred men gathered at the fire and fought strentously to save the horse barn and dwellings.” The loss could not be de nitely determined Saturday, but it wil be in part offset by the insurance car- ried.
