A short paragraph appeared in the New
York Tribune, of May 21st, announcing the
death of the inventor, Samuel H. Mead,Jr.
at his residence in Madison Avenue, in New.
York city. '
lie is remembered by many of" the citi-
zens of Darien as the young man who,a
few years ago erected a small hous: on the
Ox Ridge road, with steam boiler,&c., to
experiment with hydrogen, gas with a view
of making it 'useful for the head-lights of
locomotives, an invention cotemporaneous-

the scientific journals.
.Mr. Mead was a young than of remarka-
ble qualities of mind, delighting in scientific
research, firm and honest in all his convic-

greatest. kindness and consideration for
those differing with him in opinion. A dili-
gent and faithful worker, yet ever ready to
amuse, entertain or teach by explanation,

companionship. .Certainly the death of a
man of such promise for usefulness is a

WILTON,

Buds and foliage have advanced with
great rapidity this week, under the influence
of some of that warm sunshine for which
we have been so long waiting. And yet,
on this 24th of May, there cannot be found

A fire broke outlast Wednesday evening.
in a barn on River street, owned by Mr H.
Staples and occupied by his son, Capt. Wil-
liam C. Staples. An alarm was given, and
Compo and Vigilaut Engines. and a large
number of" citizens were. promptly on the
ground to render assistance. The fire had
gained headway, and though the firemen
united in efforts to suppress it, the structure
with outhouses were totally destroyed. ~ A
cow in a stall in the basement of the barn
was burned to death, efforts to rescue were
unavailing. Though a slight wind was
blowing towards them from the fire at the
time, the homes of Capt. Staples and John
Hubbell were not injured. The fiamesshot up
to a great height, casting a lurid light upon
distant hills and surrounding objects, pro-
ducing a grand sight. The barn frame of
hewn oak, heavy enough for three frames
such as are now used, stood, after the siding
had burned away, a mass of living coal, re-
sembling some. huge pyrotechnic after the
force 'of the powder which made it a thing
of life had subsided. The destruction of
this barn removes almost the last obje'cl re-
minding the people of that good old farmer,
Mr. John Sturges, who once owned it, and
who passed away in 1843 at a ripe age.
Hispremises were a model for the aver-
age farmer, and many a tired and perhaps
discouraged fisherman will long remember
the kindness extended to them by him.
The fire, it is thought was incendiary, and
it entails a loss of about $1,500. No insur-
ance.

Offensive Breath.
There is nothing morflisgusting'and an-
noying than to be brought into contact With
any one with an offensive breath. To per-
sons so afflicted the mortification is great, as
they soon begin to find how those with
whom they are brought into contact avoid
coming any closer to them than they are ac-
mall y compelled to; but yet by far greater
is the annoyance, I might say, with trui
punishmentinfiicted on the one ccmpele
to inhale it. Numerous are the instances in
which it isolates persons from the society of
others, causes coolness among friends. bus-
band and wife, and breaks ofi‘ many an en-
gagement. ' . .
.lany laboring under such an aflrctron
might not be able to comprehend why they
should be so intolerable, but could they
smell themselves as they really are, they
would no longer wonder, for it must he ccn-
ceded that of all odors there is none more
revolting and nauseating than that from,a
putrid breath. I have, in innumerable in-
stances, h Id a wife or husband, or father or
mother say, “ Doctor, if you can only re.
move the offensive smell from—whomever
it may have been—I shall be perfectly satis~
fied, for it nauseates me so when lean’t
avoid inhaling it, that it is as much as I
can do to prevent vomiting.”
Persons so affected are. generally particu-
larly sensitive on the subject, and their
friends being equally sensitive about speak-
ing to them of it, consequent] there are few
who know how really revo ting they are.
And there are many who are affected and
yet are not cognizant of the fact, for the
same reason that no one feels like speaking
to them of it. Imagine how great an insult
it would be felt tor-any one to say to dumb-
er, “ Please, when you speak, to turn your
face away, so: that I wont get the benefit of
your breath, for it stinks so."
In almost all casesof Catarrh the breath
becomes sooner or later affected, as the dis.
ease procresses, from the fact that the Car
tarrhal'lllucous itself has an_ offensive odor.
in addition to which, the breath passing
over the dieased mucous surface becomes
impregnated with the fetor of the morbid
secretions of the nose and throat.
When the discharge hardens‘ and adheres
in'the shape of scabs to the Mucuous Mem-
brane, it becomes putrid and exhales a
stench overpowering, so much so as to
sometimes impregnate‘the atmosphere of
a whole room. This is also the case when
there is ulceration of the nasal bones, or
when the glands imbedded in the mucous
membrane are involved. ,
Many have been, and are, the devices re-
sorted to, to counteract, the odor, but all
without avail. Per-fuming the person not
only utterly falls, but tends, If anything, to
make the stench more overpowering and
un’endurable. There is only one we to get.
rid of it, and that is to get rid of the isease.
Cause and effect in no instance more than

for as long as the cause,—tbat which produ-
ces the putrid odor—remains, so long must

few weeks since that Mrs. Elwood received
a letter from her husbfll in which he re-

and on his determination to never again go
so far away if Providence should permit his
safe return. The circumstance of his
decease at Pernambuco after sailing in all

much of pleasure and profit, are peculiarly

Supposing a dead animal to have remain-
ed long enough in the street to have become
putrid , would any man who would attempt
to perfume it to counteract the smell, be con-
sidered sane? Could the atmosphere be pure
as long as the animal—the cause of the im-
purity—remained? Certainly not. Remove
the animal and see how soon the air will
again become pure. So with an offensive
breath, remove the cause—Catarrh—‘and it
will soon be found how soon thebreatb will

. lETTEil No.5. . ~
Effect of Catarrh 0n the
' Sense of Smell.
The sense of smell, or means by which we
become cognizant of odors, is through the
olfactory nerve—a nerve which proceeds
from the brain through a small fissure at the
base of the cranium and extends in fila-
ments or threads over the upper portion of
the pituatory membrane; consequentflly, any
diseases affecting the nasal caviftrs a ects It
a so.
It will therefore be seen w ry the impair-
ment and suspension of smell during a
severe cold is so frequent, and when the in-
flammation of the pituatry membrane be-
0I‘ 8110“ June 15‘. and MP- Miller, 01' New .cOmes more chronic, as in Catarrh, a simi--
lar feature presents itself; or if slightly im-
paired at first, gradually beomes more so as
the disease increases. In cases of severe
cold, when the sense of smell is suspended,
it generally returns again, sometimes, how-
ever, in an_ impaired state. When this is
the case, it is a sure indication that catarrh-
al inflfinmation has commenced, and if the
disease is allowed to progress, it will gradu-
ally grow weaker aud weaker until it is en-
tirely lost. At first the finer and more dell— ‘
cate odors the patient becomes less sensible
to, and so‘ by degrees, until, in the more
aggravated toms of the disease, all sensibil-
ity of the most nauseous odors is lost, and
the most pungent essences fail to produce
the slightest efi'ect. I have seen cases where
the sense of smell was so entirely gone that
onions could be put under their noses and
if blindfolded it would be impossible for
them to tell what it was. '
To be deprived of the loss of smell it is
not necesary to comment on, for that, like'
any other loss, is too well understood; but
this much can be said, that while it is not as
great a misfortune as that of speech,hearing
or sight, yet it is, nevertheless, one of great
importance, as it not only curtails our enjoy-
sequences detrimental to health.‘ While
there are many odors that those whose sense
“melt is not impaired may wish their ol-
ory nerves were impervious to, yet it
must be acknowledged a rent privation not
to be able to enjoy the elicious fragrance
of flowers—Nature s perfumes. I may here
relate an instance, not irrelevant to the case,
but Illustrative of how severe a privation is
the loss of smell. Among my. patients was a
lady, a great sufferer from Catarrh, one of
the effects of which was the loss of the
sense of smell. On one of my visits to her
residence, 1 was told by the servant that
ushered me in, that she was in the garden—
an occupation she took great leasure in.
Being a charming spring day, would not
have her interrupted, but proceeded to the
garden, where I found her busy, with the as
sistance. of the gardener, trailing the tendrils
of some of the more delicate plants. Being
myself passionately fond of flowers, I was
enchanted. It was a splendid garden, full
of the choicest fiowers—beautifu to the eye
and exotic to the smell. After a few cursory
remarks, I observed to her that were it not
for proof positive to the contrary I might
imagine myself in fairy land. “Yes, very
beautiful the flowers are,” she replied. “But
not half so beautiful,” said I. “ as they are
fragrant—tho :very atmosphere is redolent
with their perfume.” With a saddened ex-
pression she turned to me,and said, in man-
ner which I have never forgotten, “You for
.get that I cannot smell; and," continued she,
“ frequently have I almost determined to
give up this, to me great pleasure, as half of
it is lost in not being able to enjoy their
fragrance. They are to 'me, as children
speaking, and I cannot hear their sweet
prattle—the very knowledge of the loss of
which I am constantly reminded of when-
ever I come near them, and the more deter-
mines me to entrust them to the care of some
one else My sense of smell was once so
acute thatI was annoyed by the slightest
disa reeable smell, one which many others
won a not notice; so rest was the anno -
ance, that may times have wished I can d
not smell an thing. It was an Idle wish,
and little di I think 1 should be so severely
punished (For my want of a reciation of
one of Go . a greatest gifts. ow I would
give anything if I could smell again, even
were it the most obnoxious odor.” The
sense of smell has another and more direct
duty, though, this; it is given as a hard to
the air passages that we may avoi the in-
haltion of such odors as ma be injtfiions,
and to the detection of the rm roper quali-
ties of food. To iilustrate this atterremark,
let any one take the most aromatic sub-
stance in the mouth,“observtng at the same
lime to close the nostrils tight, and the
will find, as long as they keep them close ,
they will not have the slightest appreciation
of its odor or flavor, but the instant the nos-
t’s are at libert they will get the flavor
a d odor of it. his is the reason why chil-
drens nostrils are Closed when given nausea
ons medicines, an shows how necessary
the sense of smell 3 to that of taste.
The perversion of smell is nearly if-not
quite as had as Its loss. It is caused by a
disease of the Olillctory nerve, resulting
from the same cause, and in many cases is
the precursor to its loss. Persons are an-
noyed by imaginary obnoxious smells, and
sometimes retain a isagreeable odcr inhaled
for months. A gentleman once related to
me an instance of his having visited a friend
who badbeen poisonin ts», the rats hav.
rug died In their holes fillet! the house with
a terrible effluvia. The smell was so nau-
seous that he did not remain in the house
but a few minutes, but yet retained the small

of boiled cabbage, which he was then an-
noyed with when be consulted me. Instan.
