The stories of evemts in those | days taken from the files of the Bul- {letin for 1872 are as follows: Monday, December, 9, 1872—Two hundred hands were thrown out af employment by the closing of the wlallviavaie woolen milis, owned prin- cipally by E. A. Converse, who i se- riously effected if not ruined by the lt«ulum of Stanfield, Wentworth & Co., Inl Boston. This latter firm, it is said, {held goods of the Staffordville com- pany for sale on. commission. to the amount of nearly $200,000. The liabili- ties of the Bostop company were great | enough to make jt impossible for the | creditors to receive more than §0 eents ion the dolar. The Rev. Mr: Davis wmenaed yes- tferday, & series of four lectures on the Prodigal Son, which, judging from the first, will be quite as popular as the last course by tkis able writer. Rev. Mr. Nason of Daniclson, and the Jubilee singers entertained last {evening at Breed haill, when onme of the biggest temperance meetings of | the season was held. The attendance was larger than at past meetings. ‘Tuseday, December 19, 1872—The re- cent raing have made Shetucket street about ar easy to travel as the path’ of.virtue.

Dr. Bulkeley's band- ple¥ing in the dis- the pale moonkight on the edge of the} e so that you can borraw monmey for eleven per cent. The street commis- sioner will employ a diver today to as- certain the original layout of the street. Mr. Bidwell yesterday shipped four boxes full of sghoes, elothing, etc., to Miss Thomas” school at Heathville, and Miss Thomas bas the donors for the many gifts which were great- 1y needed. The foundation for the soldiers’ monyment Pbeing laid et the upper end -of . William’s park, and the mon- ument itself is expected within a fort- might. The down passenger train on the Northern road, yesterday afternoon, ran off the track mear Willimantic, delaying traffic on the road for sev- eral hours. ‘Wednesday, December 11, 1872—Tax lists'for persops 'and companies on property valued at $5,000 and upwards in 1872 showed some of the largest to be as follows: Chelsea Paper Mfg. Co., $424,800; Clinton Mills Co. $200,000; Pells Co,, $650,000; Mowry Axle and Machine - Co, - $§100,000; - Norwich Bleaching and Calendering- Co., $185,- 325; Norwich & New York Transpor- tation Co. $§75,000; Ponemah Mills $837,100; Shetucket Co., $524,900. The grand list totalled-*$15,544,199.” Pubdlic property and pension exempts the grand. total {o $26027.435. 11 tance. Ithuml;flfio‘hfi-.‘ fire Bundey evening. The loss is about given at the hall each evening of the $800 on which there is no insurance. A Statfordville correspondent wriu-| that busipess is better at the Staf- fordville Woolen company and that Mr. Converse is able to continue the business. Thursday, December 12, 1872—Green- ville was visited by & fire on Wednes- day afternoon which totally destroyed the frame mill owped by the Wal- ter Power company and occupied by Paul B. Greene in the manufacture of candle wicking, twine, piston pack- ing, and batting. The fire began at 2 o'clock when a nail ran into the lap- per. A workman nearby seeing the spark. ignite the cotton lying about, tried to extinguish the blaze with a Babcock extinguigher, but the flames had too much of 2 start and spread rapidly through the building, and in fifteen minutes the whole structure was in flames. The Greeneville steam fire engine company quickly responded but as the building was doom the two lines of hose were used to save the dyeing es- tablishment of James Houstan which was only about 10 feet away from the Greene building. Within an hour the plant was totally destroyed but the work of the firemen against the in- tense heat saved the Houstan plapi. Mr. Greene's loss was about 36500 and his insurance $2500. The building and machinerv was valued at about $3000 and was partly insured. Twenty three hands were thrown out of em- ployment. Mr. Houstan's loss was about §1000 due to damage to the building and valuable dyes in that corner of the plant. He is insured.

December 14, 1872—The steamer City of Lawrence, grounded yesterday morning neer Perch rock, about & quarter of & mile south of the | rolling mill. While trying to plow through heavy ice the steamer lost the channel, and was pushed by the flow onto a mud bar where she lay all night. She was very heavily load- ed and it was impossible to shift the cargo. 1t is expected that she can be pulled off at high tide this morning. The river is full of ice and naviga- tion has been closed. The tug Welling- - ton was just able to make her dock, last night. Willimantic reports a case where a dog was killed while doing away with sheep. The collar attached showed the animal to belong to a Willimantic man. When mef s::;cmenk 'e;e ap- proached they refu to take the case as the dog had strayed away from the being held at Breed hall.
