The members of the Ladies Christian

hear and welcome them. We trust tlrey will
come again and help to strengthen the hands
of those already engaged in the work of
stemming the giant evil intempcrance.
The Measles are very prevalent. A hard

sledding is so good.
WILTON.
Mr. John W. Gilbert, of East Wilton,~
while riding to his work at the ’Cousin Siroe
Manrrfactory in Norwalk, January 22d,drove
his horse over a projecting snow bank near
the house of Nelson Gorham, caused his
sleigh to upset and turning-himself and his
daughter very quietly out on the snow.
The reins giving way, his horse showed a
fine gait down Chestnut Hill Avenue. The
daughter, hardly concious of her situation,
looking at the horse making such good time,
remarked: ‘I‘I’a see Dick go," when sud-
denly the horse fell, but jumping up stood
still. A. V. put the sleigh In good condition.
No one hurt.

A Weston man, who lives near the Wilton

T“ O TRUE STORIES ABOUT A SKUNK.
Mr. William H. .Maerin had_;an encounter
with a polecat, or skunk as some vulgar peo-
ple call it, the other day, and his experience
may be as -a lesson to those coming in con-
tact with skunks. The presenceofthe little'
black and'white animal w'as' ' discovered by
Mr. Marvin’s son, John Marvin, who was
near the barn Iattending to some pigeons.
The skunk sat on a pile of old boards looking
straight at young Marvin, who, never hav-
ing seen a thing of that kind before,hastened
to the house to inform his parents. Mr.
Marvin heard his son’s description, and con-
cluding that it was a skunk indeed he had to
deal with, seized a revolver and went for the
barnyard. ' Knowing by experience the
scent permeating proclivities of . skunks, he
did not at first'approach too near, but came 'I
tiously crawled along 11p to the spot where
the skunk sat. When he had advanced far
enough to see the:white of the skunk’s eye,
M. took aim and fired. White and: black
hair flew in all directions but the bullet did
not enter the flesh, and Mr. Skunk sat de-
his left eye. M. gave a second discharge of’
his piecevwich alike result, and it began to
look as if the game was 'nvuinerable to shot
and powder. Not to be further baffled, and
,very desirous of ridding his premises of a
disagreeable. visitor, M. took from its place
in the kitchen a favorite fowling piece and

steps were needed to show M, how complete
his victory was, and the same time he became
aware of the last instinctive act of said vic-
tim as he ga1c up the ghOst, the same being
manifested In an odor so rank, that only an
experienced nose could take it in, and so
potent that' 111 less than ten, minutes the en-
tire neighborhood suspected something ter-
rible had happened. Near neighbors begarII
to stop up their key holes and cracks under
the doors, and down by the mill they actu-
ally thought a great malarial Wave from the
north was precipitating itself upon them. M.
held his breath for ten minutes, at the end.
of which time a man came along and took
the deceased skunk off his hands for a con- _
sideration. Though a week has ' pgssed since
the shooting, M, says the pile of boards, to
use “Josh” Whitcomb’s language, “smells a
good (leal'skunky yit. ” ' \.
Uncle Joseph Marvin, father of Mr. David
M. Marvin, had an experience with a skunk
worth recording. Fifty years ago he- lived
in the house now occupied by Mr. George H.
Nash. One day Mr. Marvin had occasion to
go to his cellar, where he saw aI strange look.
ing object near the foot of the stairway. The
dim light prevented his making out what it
was, but he told Mrs. Marvin, his wife, and
she said it must be a cat. Later, Mrs. Mar.
vin herself visited the cellar, saw the-strange

memory of an exploit with a skunk which
had once caused him to bury his clothes to
ave them, impelling him to advance slowly.
He had heard that n skunk’s‘tail is his weak-
est point, but 1110th :pooplofi Vhilrk it is the
strongest thing In all creation, and he seized
the appendage with a grip that surprised the
skunk. Raising the animal high in the air,
be here him in triumph out of doors. The
next act was to destroy the skunk with the
least exposure to that essence secretion which
makes skunks .very undesirable companions.
'It was resolved that the neighbor hold the
skunk by its tail against a tree, and Mr. Mar-
Marvin prepared for a square blow and gave
it, but the skunk wriggled, and so beat and
whipped himself about the-tr’eéf'as if antici-
pating the design of his captors hoping to
elude it, that, instead of the hatchet’s strik-
ing back of the ears as intended, it cut across
the haunclres near the stub of the tail. The
‘skunk dropped to the ground a dead skunk,
but the tail remained a thing of life long
enough to convince Mr. Marvin and his friend
how great was the strengthcontained in that
which they had flattered themselves was but
weakness, and the tale we’ ye told of that tail
is but a faint description of the stcrr'u'ealities
of that memorable situation.

Happy Influence or a iii-eat specific.
For the preservation or recover y _01 health and
strength, the diet should be wholesome and
nutritious. When it happens that the alimentary
processes are disturbed by improper dr7‘half mas-
ticated food, the best rcnrcdy for the evil results
of abuting the digestive organs is Hostelter’s
Stomach Bitters, a 1nqst agreeable, prompt and
gentle remedy for dyspepsia, and for the billions
and ovacuativc irregularities which result from
it. The liver and bowels, in common with the
Vstomach,experiencc.its berrcllcent influences. The
, refuse of thc system is carried 00’ through its nat-
ural outlet, healthy flow and secretion of the bile
is promoted, and a powerful impetus ls given to
assimilation in consequence of its use. It health-
full y stimulates the bladder and kidneys when
they are inactive, and by its tome and regulating
action fortifies the system against malaria.
