A Concert of vocal and instrumental
music was given at the Methodist church,
Wednesday evening, by the choir of the
church, assisted by singers from the other-
churches and a quartette from Danbui'y.
The meal part was conducted by'Mr. L. C.
Seymour chorister of the Methodist church.
Ile was ably assisted by Mr. J. E. Morris, 0
Danbury. Miss Lizzie Gilbert presided a
the piano, and it is needless to say, with
complete success. One of the best. things of
the evening was an overture from Weber,
played by Miss Gilbert and Miss Faustena
IIurlbutt. There was also an excellent
duett by Miss Hurlbutt and Mr. Morris on
the piano and organ. Some fine voices
were noticed among our home singers.
Miss Enma Smith Sing a solo, charming as
with her sweet voice. Miss Julia Hurlbutt
and Miss Todd disclosed voices of compass
and power. Mr. Morris brought down the
house with a character song, “Poor Uncle
Joe.” It is difficult, however, to particu-
arlize when all did so well. Altogether the
concert was a success and we congratulate
Mr. Seymour and all who assisted, on the
pleasant entertainment they gave us“

At the last monthly meeting of the board

have been so fortunate as contract for and
teach during one term, it does not follow
that their qualifications may be of charac-

teachers to know well of the mental stuff

- A Comedy of Errors.
The Litcbfield Enquirer tells the follow-
. . . A
which might very properly be called a com-
edy of errors: ' . . . ,
A woman Who came upon the Naugatuck
stage on Thursday, was very politely cared
for by a Mr. Cream, 21 traveller for a New
York business firm. Learning that she was
going to Bantam, he saw her to theShepaug
station and helped her on board the cars.
On reaching Bantam she missed her arm-
bag, containing some forty dollars in money,
and concluded .that her chance acquaint-
anccwas a pickpocket. Her husband came
in at once, got out a warrant, and set an ex-
erieuced detective on the stranger’s track.
nfortunately the personal description given
was defective, and although the detective
and a person who came up on the stage
House office where he was standing, they
failed to identify him.'_ Finding himself
looked after pretty sharply, Cream resolved
not to wait here long, and engaged a team
to take him to Sharon. In the meantime,
concluding that thetravcler had left on the
Nangatuck, a telegram was sent to Water-
bury to arrest any such person who had got
on the train at Litcbfield, and two‘unluck
Litehfielders in search of fish bait were han -
ed off the eirs to the lock-up before it was
discovered that neither of them was the ac-
cused party. In the meantime the officers
had learned that Cream had gone west and
a message was sent to West Cornwall for
his arrest. He was there when the dispatch
arrived, but somehow got oil', and the sheriff
under instructions from Litcbfield, pushed
on after him. Arriving at Sharon, Cream
stopped at the hotel, the team went on. Com-
ingnpsoon after and bearing ofthe departure
of the team, tb _ erifi' concluded he was
too late, and ac ually went away leaving
Cream unarrestcd in the Sharon hotel. To
cap the climax of this most remarkable
farce, when the Shepaug train came back,
the bag containing .the $40, was returned to
its owner, who had left itin her seat on get-

Exrmstvn Orr.s.—The telegram of a few
days ago stating that 100 barrels of kerosene
had been seized in Ottawa,Canada, because
it would explode nt 86 degrees Fahrenheit,
shows to how large an extent this lows tand-
ard, death—dealing fluid is sold. The fact is no
doubt true of Washington, as the Brooklyn
Eagle says it is of that city, that in spite of
the legal precaution taken to prevent and
punish the sale of explosive oils, there is still
a' great deal of kerosene sold in that city and ’
elsewhere which-is below the explosive test.
In a general sense, all petroleum oils which
will burn freely in a lamp are explosive, if
heated to their explosive point; but an oil
which will stand the government test of 110
degrees, is safe enough in sensible nds,
breausc it cannot reach that temp _ ture
either by the heat of the atmosphere or the
flame at the wick; and if the people will
put thecsn on the stove when there isa bot
fire in the latter, the dealer who sold the oil
will certainly be exonerated at the inquest.

many women and also a great number of
children; that under the polygamous sys-
tem, boys and girls of the same paternity
grow to maturity without ever meeting each
other. They are, therefore, not even ordina-
ry friends, but as much strangers to one an-
other as though born of different races and
indifferent states. Surely this phase of the
kingdom is not to be emulated ; although it
may afford a solution to Brigham Youngls

SYM PTOMS .OI“ CATARRII
‘1 or on. news. '
The symptoms of catarrh in its most acute
stage are those of a severe cold, so much so
that many'imagine they are sulfering from a
severe 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
or inclement weather, the wind merely
blowing on some aggravates the symptoms
and gives to it the appearance of having ta-
ken tresh cold. Under this impression noth-
ing is done for it more than the ordinary
remedies for a cold, which, of course, are at
sucba time, ineffectual, and when it is
found they are of no avail, not knowmg
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
after a time the more violent symptoms of
its acute stage cease, and indeed for a time
it seems as though it were getting better.
For this delusive hope the patient often pays
dearly, as it is generally the calm before the
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 better, and again worse, pa-
tients arc inveigled into the belief that it
will not seriously injure 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 stiffness of the nostrils,
which are often closed on one or both sides,
from inflammation. Usually a thin watery
discharge commences, excoriating that part
ofthe skin with which Pcomes into con-
tact. So acrid is that ischarge in some
cases that the upper lip and edges of the
noustrils p-sent the appearance of erysipe-
las so mu'ch so, indeed, that I have known
instances were they have been treated'fur
it. And numerous have been those who
have come under my notice of men whose
upper lips had become so excoriated as to
render shaving an absolute impossibility.
Some of these had been treated for the “bar;
ber’s itch." ’ ,
The discharge after a time becomes thick,
either white crofa purulent greenish yel-
low color, and at times tinged with blood.
As the disease progresses it becomes more
purulent, with an odor'more or less dis-
agreeable, at times very offensive—so much
so, that after a time the breath becomes re-'
voltingly offensive. Now it is when there

The dischargceitber flows from the nose
or drops into the throat, causing a tick-

seriously interfering with application to bu-
siness or study; with some general restless-

A night sleep is often interrupted by the
constant falling of mucous into the throat
producinga tickling feeling or of choking,
or by a sensation of dryness in the mouth
and throat, with feverishness and thirst.
Others again are excessively drowsy, more
especially during the day after eating; or
ifattempting to read, “the letters all run
together,” as patients express it, and in a
few moments the book or paper has fallen
from their hands, and they are fast asleep,
from which they awake more frequently
with adult, stupid feeling than refreshed.
On rising in the morning, very often the
tongue will be coated and a disagreeable
taste in the mouth, accompanied sometimes
withhausea and dizziness. At such times
there is not apt to be, much appetite for
breakfast.
The majority of persons suffering from
Catarrh are costive or constipated in their
bowels. The face, with some, will sudden-
ly become flushed and hot. Stooping to
pick up anything will produce dizziness,
with pain in and over the eyes and with
specks floating before them.
When the inflammation extends through
the tear-passage to the eye, it inflames that
organ, causing the tears to flow upon the
slightest irritation or exposure, producing
what is generally called “weeping eye.” If
it extends through the eustachain tube to
the middle earfiprod. noise in the ear)
wrth ultimate fness. As it extends to
the throat, it gives rise to dyspepsia, bron-
chitin, and finally to consumption. The ex-
perience and investigations of the greatest
savans in medical science have fully estab-
lished the fact that in fully two-thirds of the
cases of consumption it commenced [by in-
flammation of the air passages, which is
Catarrh.
Dr. ROWE’S treatment for Catarrh en-
tirely eradicates the disease; is painless and
can be continued at home without interrup-
tion to business.

Dr. Rowe's charges for treatment are
such as, to place his services within the
reach of all.
Dr. Rowe z—Deai' Sir:
It gives me pleasure to write you of the
benefit I have received from your judicious
and successful treatment of Catarrli, from
which I have suffeicd 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 time, 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 ofwbom
I knew so little. But I was unable to find
any help through the ordinary treatment of
catarrh, and therefore followed my inclina-
tionand went to you. I was satisfied after
the application of your inediCines,jttiat if a
cure could be effected. your method could
do it. I_have carefully followed your di-
rcctions, and though from its long standing
and severity of my case my recovery has
been slow,I am happy to say it has been
sure, and I cannot but wish for all who are
sufi‘ering from this disease a prompt and
speedy reliefby your sure, sensible and cer-
tain help. Yours respectfully.
