Favored for Another Year—Would Re- quire $500 Appropriation. Within a few days many expressions have been heard favorable to continu- ing the night schoal during the com- ing fall and winter, but to do this an appropriation must be made at the an- nual town meeting. The school was successtul last year beyond the hopes of its most ardent advocates. Persons who could nelther read nor write studied faithfully through the period that the school held sessions, Decem- ber to May, gaining knowledge that they could not now be induced to part with for all the money that the school cost the town, which was comparative- ly small to the good results achieved. The appropriation last year was $600, but all of thisx was not used and the expenses last year were somewhat heavier than would be the case this ar, now that the school has been es- ablished.

D, Bargent has returned Property of the Late I. F, Lewls Sold Murderous Attack on Wife. The foreclosure sale of the I F. Lewis hotel property was held at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The sale took place by order of the su- perior court for New London county, at public auction, to satisfy judgments of foreclosure of mortgages held by the Windham County Savings bank. Four tracts of land, with all the buildings thereon standing, were offered for sale, The ¢ld Clarendon hotel and two par- cels situated immediately north of the hotel and the hotel tract itself, upon which stands the new hotel, and the barn and storehouse. This fourth parcel, which was the principal part, was struck off to John Clark, who owns the Deacon Johnson farm, a mile north of the borough. The price paid was $8.675. The hotel itself cost $20,- 000 and is practically new, a modern, up-to-date hostelry in every respect. There is a mortgage upon it which with- the - expenses amounts to $7,300. Thus it brought $1,375 more than' the incumbrance upon it. The terms of sale are that Mr. Clark’ must assume the taxes and pay 10 per cent. of the price down, the balance when he receives the deeds from the court.
