The stove coal went to Rockville, to which city the barley coal was . The coal cars were alike, and as their con- tents were covered.with gnow, the only way to tell them apart was by the numbers, but unfortunately. the num- bers varied only by the’ last figure, one having an eight and the other a three, and as the sides of the. cars were covered with ice and_snow, the cars were mixed up, so Willimantis lost the 44 tons of black diamonds. of a clear knowledge on many pojints, Among ‘the questions asked in_ Miss Brown's room Friday was What is a Liberty loaf?

With all the talk and probability of flood and ice damage, the places below here, the village of Greeneville and the town of Norwich, are assured safety on account of the big Aspinook dam. Before the dam was built, ice of much less thick- ness in the Quinebaug, when it went out all at once, as it generally did, al- ways caused hundreds of dollars’ dam- age down the stream. Several times the ice has jammed under the Laurel HIll bridge and backed up the waten, flooding a part of the Norwich water- front. The Aspinook dam will hold back the millions of tons of two and three foot ice and no matter what the thaw is, there'need be no fear for the two bridges or the property below. - . News in General.
