MR GLOVER DEALS IN HORSES.
Last Saturday morning a woman drove
up in front of the Central House and call
ed out Clerk Cavanaugh, to whom she
tried to sell a horse and complete driving
outfit for the magnificent sum of 10.
The Judge suspected t here was something
wrong and sent for Deputy Sheriti liiov
er, who took the horse and gave the wo
man $10. The woman, who proved to be
Ciara Cormany of Hridgeport, immedi
ately took the 11.30 train, to Botsford it
afterward developed, as she was found
there Tuesday, at Thomas Murphy's, by
Deputy Sheritl's Fenelon of Hridgeport
and Clover and Olliuer Hackett. The
team, It seems, belonged to Liveryman
ltronson of Bridgeport, who rented It to
her to drive to Fuirlleld. She now claims
that she became lost and found herself at
Newtown before she was aware of It. In
the city court, Bridgeport, Wednesday
morning, the accused was charged with
horse stealing. As she had, after her ar
rival at Botsford. written to the owner of
the horse and told him where he could
find his property, the charge could hard
ly be sustained. After Judge Kane had
reserved his decision until Thursday,
Deputy Sheriff Glover attached some
money the prisoner had in a Bridgeport
bank to secure th money he had given
her for the team. When the case came
Into court at Bridgeport, there was a
lively altercation between M r Glover and
the chief of police, who censured the
Newtown ofllclal for his course.

Instruction in Vocal Music (Charts), Drawing and Painting and Physical Cul

The study of English, its grammar and its literature, has been given a promi
nent position in the school. Khetorical exercises will, this year, be held each
week, consisting of orations, declamations, essays and recitations.
The progressive new education ideas permeate the work in all the departments
In order to secure the best results it is only necessary that the attendance shall be
regular. Want of success in the studies is usually traced to absence from recita
tion. The parents are asked to aid the teachers, so that there may be no absences,
tardinesses or dismissals except in cases of necessity.
There is need of study out of school by all the pupils in any full course. If
there is no study at home the parent may be sure that there is a want of faithful
ness.
The Preparatory DEPARTMENT--The pupils in this department enjoy mani
fold advantages by being connected with the academic work. They ail receive
instruction from the special teacheri and marked success has crowned the efforts
put forth in behalf of the very youngest classes in physical training, singing and
drawing, as well as in the regular work.' Few schools offer the advantages to the
pupils of the lower grade that are given here. Considerable apparatus and many
choice supplementary reading books have lately been put in the room3 upstairs.

THE SENSATION OP THE HOUR.
The town was thrown into great ex
citement, last week, by the unearthing
of a den of counterfeiters here. The ot
fleers of the United States secret service
have been at work on the matter for
months, it seems that last June a "pro
moter" received an answer to his adver
tisement, which looked suspicious. Con
sulting the Secret Service bureau, he
agreed to answer it. He then met a man
w bo gave ms name as Jung, Dut wno is
now known to be Samuel Alexander
Massey. Massey's oiiginal proposition
was to go into tne manutacture ox silver
dollars out of tue real silver, on v.nicn
there is a profit of 50 per cent at the mar
ket trces of saver. Aiterwara ne let
out something about counterfeiting Gov
ernment notes. J uly 28 he handed over
36 counterfeit $10 treasury notes for
$100 in good but marked bills. This
was the hrst attempt to noat any or tne
notes. which were a very good counterfeit
When Massey was jane -tea, July u. ne
had $670 more of the same stutl' in his
possession, besides tne mar&ed money
Then tne detectives rouna tnac iiussen
B. Hovt was an associate of Massey and
arrested him. Having learned that Hoyt
came from Bethel, and went often to vis'
it his brother .Lorenzo, the detectives
made a thorough search of the premises
occupied by .Lorenzo. .Last ebruary,
James W; Murphy weni, voluntarily to
the Secret Service bureau and offered to
give information of certain counterfeit
ers who had employed him, in his capac
ity of engraver, to produce a plate for
printing $iu notes oi tne Mystic Kiver
National bank of Mystic, Conn. He
agreed to act as a Sec.-et Service agent
at $2.5.0 a day, but after drawing $100
disappeared and could not be tound
The detectives suddenly ran across him,
last Friday, going along a country road
near Bethel, in company with josepn
Morgan, who lives in Elmwood district
and with whom he boarded. After talk
ing with him, they went back to Loren
zo Hoyt's yard and dug up the finest col
lection of counterfeiting apparatus tnat
ever came into the hands of the govern
