"Tho Wild JJnmuinla bf Connooti-

Cans of largo bIzo inhnbitod tho

Thoanlmala that novor woro found

lings por hoad waa offered to piti in

in 177G tho occasion hoing a regular
boar hunt which was much onjoyed
by tho pooplo who watched it from
buildings somo of which aro now
standing. Tho skunk still remains in
Hartford county and is somotimes
called tho "dovil's child." Beavers
wero so abundant in 1040 that their
skins woro usod for ourronoy and
in 1740 wharf rats wero so numerous
in WothorsGold that a reward was
' offered for their destruction. Moose
woro iu Connecticut early in its sot-
tloment and door abounded.
Of' aquatio animals thero was a
great variety tho seals being plenti-
ful nnd tho seal huntora who wont
nftor fur seals in other parts of tho
world learned thoir trado hunting
tho hair seal in our own waters. In
1047 whales and porpoises woro
abundant and a grant was given to
whalers to capture whales in tho
souud. In recont years porpoises tho
socinl whalo or blaokflsh tho gram-
pus and possibly tho narwhal havo
been found in tho sound. In 1710 a
party of fishormen reported having
seen an animal on tho rooks off
Branford with head and breasts liko
a woman and with tho lower part
shaped liko a mackorol with a forked
tail. "This very muoh rosombled tho
descriptions of tho mermaid " said
Judgo Adams.

Tho coming year will bo a period
memorable in the history. of the world
If but a part of the. plans of the United
States Government and t European
nations is carried out. In the United
Slates there will be the liveliest presi-
dential campaign ever held and the
Fifty-foUrth Congress now in session
will furnish exceedingly interesting de-
bates on the tariff and financial ques
tion until June. There will be several
exciting state elections and many poli-
tical speeches. . Everyone will watch
With interest the progress of the Vene-
zeulan 'Commission's inquiry the re-
sults of the wars in Cuba in South
Africa in Turkey and the outcome of
other complications now arising in the
Old World.
' It is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such rich
promise of stirring news the grcates
metropolitan newspaper in the United
States The St. Louis Republic!
should reduce its price to $6 oo a year
or to less than two cents a day. This
low price now places The Republic
within the reach of everyone. Those
who wish to keep posted on politics
trade national and international affairs
during 1 896. should at once subscribe
for it on these easy terms in addition
to taking their own local paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take a metropo-
litan daily paper should at least sub-
scribe for the "Twice-a- week" Republic--104
papers a year for only $r.oo
a year. It contains the best of every-
thing that appears in the daily.
