FAIRFIELD COUNTY ITEMS-
WINNIPAUK.
The following from our Winnipuuk corres-
pondentzrniscarried last week :
A most enjoyable time was the celebration
of Christmas eve by Zion‘s Sabbath School._
The Superintendent and teachers were busi-
l y engaged for a week or more to make it a
s tccess,whiie.at the same time the children’s
eyes scintilated with the anticipated pleas-
ure which culminated in brightest reality to
the most'sangttine on the evening announc-
ed. Agreeably to a custom derit'ed from
the old Druidicai practices, the room was
beautifully and tastefully decorated with
evergreens. What a beautiful idea was that
of the Druids that “ The Sylvan Spirits
mightfloek to the green boughs and there
remain unnipped by frost until a milder
season." The mottoes “ Jesus the bright
and morning star,” and “ The old, old story”
were conspicuously displayed. A tablcloud-
ed with something good to eat, and a tree
heavily laden willt prgsents, cornucopias,
etc., and brilliantly illuminated, occupied
the North-east corner and the whole atten-
_=tion'of the children-a most beautiful sight
—and creditable to the officers of the school.
The exercises consisted in singing, distri-
bution of presents, oranges edibles, kisses,
tbc.,&c, All were pleased and. delighted.
Among the many magnificent gifls from the
tree was one for Miss Sarah F. Aikitt from
her class. It was well deserved.
The Festival closed with a Carol and a
“ merry, merry Christmas” wish by the Sn-
perintendent to his school.
The annual meeting of the Sunday School
was held on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Annie
Goddard read an unusually interesting re-
port of the proceedings during the past
year. We give the following figures:

RIDGEFIELD.
The new Burdett organ introduced into ,
the M. E. Church was played on Sunday by
a Danbury organist and gave the highest
satisfaction.
Our Episcopal clergyman VHS made the
victim ofa surprise party last week, result-
ing in a generous remembrance of the pas-
.tor and a bestowal of good things in gen-
‘crai.
The Ridgcfield Library AssOciation had
an unusually interesting meeting at which,
addresses and especially the readings of the
pastor of the Episcopal Church rendered
the occasion one exceedingly entertaining.

Gerrlt Smith’s Appeal to a Boy on To-
bucco.
MY DEAR GEORGE :—I could have wept
the other day when I saw you smoking a
cigar. Only fourteen years old, and already
at work to poison your soul with tobacco!
0 this is sad indeed! My dear boy, you see
not what is before you. If you did, you
would be appalled; and you wouidlt‘all on
your knees, and entreat your heavenly.
Father to save you from the wasteful,filthy,
wicked practice of using tobacco.
Do not excuse yourself by saying that
some great and good men nae tobacco. The
great and good men who do so are in danger
of sinking into very little and very wicked
men before they die.
Tobacco and Rtttn i What twin brothers 1
What mighty agents of Satan i What a large
share of the American people they are de
stroying! Ilove my children; and because
I love them, I had rather bury them than
see thettt defile themselves with rum and
tobacco.
As Patti said to Timothy, so say I to you:
“Keep thyself pure.” Be clean in your per-
son, and be clean in your heart. But, de-
pend upon it, you can be neither if you use
tobacco. Your friend, GERRIT SMITH.

Drexel Building, corner Wall and Broad

Justice E. M. Lecs,at Stttrges’ Hall, Satur-
day, charged with the larccry of $833 in
money and papers and articles ofjewely,from
Stephen H. Aldcn’s safe. The money was
held in trust by Mr. Alden for Mr. Charles

SYMPTOMS 0F CATABRII
BY DB. ROWE.
The symptoms Of'catarrh in its most acute
stage are those of a severe cold, so much so
that many imaghe they are sptl‘ering from a
sevére cold,and wonder why it is that instead
of its wearing away they should be constant-
ly adding to it, by taking fresh cold as they
imagine ; for the‘ slightest exposure to a draft
or inclement weather, the wind merely
blowing on some aggravates the symptoms
and gives to it the appearance of having ta-
ken fresh cold. Under this impression-noth-
'bers above.

eyidence it appeared that the larceny was
committed on or about October lst, 1873:
when Mr. Birdsall was a guest at Mr
Alden’s and was in one way and another
interested in some of Mr. Alden’s law suits.
which was usually locked in III¢St|I'{‘, while
Mr. Alden carried the other. The safe was
kept locked. It further appeared that the
articles were surreptitiously taken from the
safe. The first time Mr. Alden missed the
money was on the occasion of his sending
his son, Charles C. Alden, to the safe to ob-
tain a certain power of attOrney. It could
nowhere be found and Charles asked Mr.
B.—it'hc had it. B. said he had, and ac-
tually handed the document over to Charles,
instructing him in tell his father that he had
taken it front his own safe in Wall street,
New Y At an interview with Mr,
Alden an his son in New York, B. admitt-
ed that he had all the papers including the
money, and would give up the same to
Alden when Alden should come to his terms
in a certain matter. In declining to present
his witnesses, counsel for the defence said it
was for the reason the Justice was, at one
time counsel for the complainant. He pre-
ferred to have the case tried before a higher
cottrt, his honor, therefore fqgnd that the
money, papers and jewelry alleged in the
complaint to have bectt feloniously taken,
were so taken—that the fact of the money
being found in Birdsalls’ pOSSt‘S:l0u was
prime facia .proof, that the accused had
taken it. He therefore found that there was
probable cause to sustain the complaint.
The accused was therefore bound over to
the Superior Court for trial. Bonds were
fixed at $3,000.

found they are of no avail, not knowing
what to do, nothing further is done,but wait
for the cold to wear away, believing that it
ultimately will. Alas! how many there are
who wear away with it. In some instances
aftera time the more violent symptoms of
its acute stage cease, and indeed for a time
it seems as though it were getting better.

storm. Insidious as its offspring, Consump-
tion, it is growing worse, needing but some
slight irritating cause, and when expected
least, to return, not only in its former state,
but in a worse form. And so, from time,
now seeming betflar, and. again worse, pa-
tients arcinveigled into the belief that it
will not seriously injttre them, until it show
what inroads it has‘ been making on the
system, and that while apparently slumber-
ing it has been most active. Unfortunately
this is often realized too late, very often not
until the patient is actually in consump-
tion. '
As it progresses, it produces a feeling of
uneasiness, heat and stillness of the nostrils,
which are often closed on one or both sides,
caused by a thickening of the membranes
from inflammation. Usually a thin watery
discharge commences, excoriating that part
of the skin with which it comes into con-
tact. So acrid is the discharge in some
cases that the upper lip and edges of the
ncustrils present the appearance of erysipc-
las so much so, indeed, that I have known
instances were they‘have been treated for
it. And numerous have been those who
have come under my notice of men whose
upper lips had become so cxcoriated as to
render shaving an absolute impossibility.
Some of these had been treated for the f‘bar-
ber’s itch.”
The discharge after a time becomes thick'
either white or of a purulent greenish yel-
low color, and at times tinged with blood.
As the'discase progresses it becomes more
purttlent, with an odor more or less dis-
agreeable, at times very offensive—so ' much
So, that after a time the breath becomes re'
voilingly offensive. Now it is when there
is danger of the septum or division of the
nostrils being eaten away.
The discharge either flows from the nose
or drops into the throat, causing a tick-
ling feeling, with a constant desire to swal-
low. and clear the throat, and has to be
hawked up in order to obtain relief. There
is usually great difficulty in raising it, more
particularly in the morning. Owing to its
glutinous nature it adheres to the mem~

organ, causing the tears to flow upon the
slightest irritation or exposure, producing

it extends through the eusiachaiu tube to

the throat, it gives rise to dyspepsia. bron-

Dr. Rows :—-Dear Sir:
It gives me pleasure to write you of the
‘ fit I have received from our judicious
, atarrh, from
. ., h I have suffered so much. That
which I called a “severe cold in the head,"
had increased its severity, year by year,
until the Autumn I first called on you. At
that timc,I was‘ convinced that' a longer
neglect must inevitably lead to the disease
of my lungs as my throat was already affect-
ed considerably and severely, .and my phy-
sical strength generally impaired. I had no
knowledge of you beyond a treatise of
yours which I had read, and 1 may add,
that the prejudice natural to one strictly
educated to the views of the regular prac-
tice, did not aid me in seeking one ofwhom
I knew so little. But I was unable to find
any help through the ordinary treattncnt of
catarrh, and therefore followed my inclina-
tion and went to you. 1 was satisfied after
the application of your medicines, that if a
cure could be effected. your method could
do it. Ihavc carefully followed your di-
rections, and though from its long standing
and severity of my gase my recovery has
been slow‘, I am happy to say it has been
sure, and I oannct‘but wish for all who are
suffering from this diseasea prompt and
spOdy relief by your sure, sensible and cer-
tain he‘ll). Yours respectfully.

Cherry Pastoral,
' For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Cclds, Whooping-
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and. Consumption.
Among the great
discoveries of modern
’ few are of
to
,7 mankind than this ef-
, ‘fectuul remedy for all
" diseases of the Throat
and Lungs. A vast
trial of its virtues,
throughout: this and
other countries, has
shown that it does
, . surely and effectually
control them. The testimony of our best citt~
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
Cttrznttr Prtcronar. will and does relieve and
cttre the afflicting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond arty other medicine. The most
dangerous afi'ectionsof' the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dis ute. As a rened ,
it is adequate, on which re public may re y
for full protection. By curing Coughs, tla
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves 1111*
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. It challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
and unpcrceivcd attack of Pulmonary Afl'ec~
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, anti too often fatal, if neg-
lected. Tender Inn 5 need this defence; and it
is unwise to be wit tout it. As a safeguard to
children. amid the distressin diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest ot'c tildltood, CHERRY
Factorial. is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. It acts speedily and surely against. ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will sufl'er troublesome Influ-
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
' how easily they can be cured.
_ Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, “0 cost or toil
is spared in making every bottle iii the utm0st
possible perfection. It may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues ithas ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cttres as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
