Strnnnx DEATH or A CATHOLIC PRIEST.—
{cv. Father Mullen, of Fairfield, died very
suddenly on Sunday morning, about 8 o‘clock
a. in. He had just returned from visiting the
murdered man, Conkling, and soon after cu-
tcring his own residence complained of not
feeling well, and on going into another room
dropped dead. He had been troubled for a
year or more with the heart disease and the
excitement incident upon visiting the mur-
dered man three times in one night, undoubt—
cdly hastened his death.

At Mr. Weed’s regctta, Saturday, July 28,
there was considerable interest manifested,
and plenty of boats entered, including the
Aurelia of Rowayton and the Whistler of N or-
walk. The Carrie Fleming, of Nor-walk, was
ruled out for not arriving in season. The
“ Whistler ” was the haudsomest vessel in
the racing fleet, and probably the fastest, but
she had a yawl boat loaded with ballast in tow,
and appeared to be taking it easy, but she
afterwards sent the boat ashore and went in
t) win, and only failed, on time allowance, by
a few minutes. The “ Anna " won the sec-
ond class race, the Aurelia and Whistler both
coming in:within two minutes— the race lasted
43 hours. Messrs Thomas Cumming, F. N.
Keith and W. A. Cummings were the judglzs.

and another which happened to rise over the
fence just as the gunwas discharged.

Shercrow school district has two parties—
the progressive and retrograde. The strength
of the two has been made manifest during
alterations now going on in the school house.
When it seemed that the former party were
leading, the latter rose in their little might to
head them off. They ignominiously failed.
A special meeting to look into matters was
held Tuesday evening, at 7%. The retro.
grades were on hand long before that hour,
and, seated on the rock near the school house
settled in their opinion, all the questions re-
lating to the welfare of the district. At 7;
the men of progress, liberal enough not t’o be
in haste, began to arrive. The retrogrades
trembled as these filed into the building. A
pull-back chairman was chosen, a pull-back
secretary read the minutes of the annual
meeting, and another pullback moved those
minutes be not approved. The pullbacks
were outvoted, and the minutes stood. Then
the special committee of three, chosen to
plan and'oversee the alterations were pitched
into strong for presuming to not In the ab-
sence of one of their number. The ‘pull-
backers moved that the special committee be
discharged, and the district committee, him-
self a pullback, be clothed with sole power
to act. The liberals, 14 to 13 triumphed glo-
riously. ‘ Then the district committee, who
was one of the special committee, rose and
characterized that committee as a disreputa-
ble one, that he wouldn't serve longer with
them, and that he then and there resigned.
He was quietly informed that said resignation
must be made to the Board of School Visit-
ors and could not be made to the meeting.
“Shercrow” school house is likely to be
speedily repaired and have modern 'scats in-

“Bow doth the busy bee,
Improve each shining hour."
Being but a scribbler we cannot preach the
practical sermon which this theme suggests,
but we can tell the story of a citizen’s bee ex-
perience, and that may do as well. One day
last week, Mr. H. R. Treadwell in company
with Mr.~A. S. Hurlbntt was walking about
his premises. The orb of day was sinking in
the west, and they thought they heard the
“drowsy tinklings” which the poet tellsns
“lull the distant fields.” Raising their eyes to
a big bird box resting on a high post, they
saw in the' dusky light, insects flying, and
when one of the same buzzed about their
heads, H. said, “T., you have evidently a
fine swarm of bees here,” and T. said, “IL,
you’re right." A closer examination of the
insects showed that T. was in luck as the
possessor of what looked like the real Italian
bee,’and T. had only to obtain a hive and
place his treasure in it, to be on equal footing
with other bee-fanciers. The two retired to
.’l‘.’s house where bees were discussed, the
methods of handling them compared; the
quality of honey produced from the blossoms
of certain fields; the best hives; how much
honey one swarm of bees would yield in a
season; how much wax; the benefits deriv-
ed from having honey in the house; the ex-
ample of industry which bees set; the moral
influence of their presence; the trifling cost
of caring for bees; the great profits; finally
resolving to go into the bee business. The
two separated, 11., to envy the fortune of his
friend and T., to dream of honey, without
cost, flowing in upon him. Next morning T.
was in the village telling the tale of his bees.
He had heard of a hive with a glass front
which a merchant had, and he would buy it
that he might at pleasure look and see how
bees worked. All who listened to T. were
surprised but rejoiced with him, and all
wanted to secure honey. To one man he on-
gaged ten pounds, to another, five, to another
twenty, and to one tailor he engaged 100
pounds of bees-wax. Finding his hands get-
ting full of business, be designated L. Bradley
as agent, through whom all orders must come.
Meantime a fresh swarm of bees had been
discovered under T.’s back stoop. The bee
news had spread, and many were calling at
T. ’5 house to see for themselves. They saw,
were satisfied, and departed. A bee expert
was called on to hive the two 'swarms, but
just before he reached T.’s premises it was
discovered that the insects were not bees but
yellow hornets. This was a set-back, and the
story of T.’s fortune so suddenly taking wings
spread with rapidity. . Belief in the genuine-
J ness of the bees had preceded the story of a l
hoax, as the following, purporting to come
from a high agricultural source, shows :—'
Ham-roan, Co. .2, Aug. 2, 1877.
H. R. Tananwnnr, EsoA-Sm :-_—Will you
please send me a description of those bees
you have recently purchased hives for, and if
they are in your opinion, as some have stated,
the Italian Breed. Also your method of tam-
ing the Yellow Italian or Hornet Bee, and
your opinion of their producing qualities. If
you have discovered the real Italian bee and
have secured the same, your fortune is made.
Please send in a glass se samples of the ar-
ticle to me without dcl , as I want to present
your discovery to the State Board of Agri—
culture when in session here, next week.
Yours, the.
About the-time the real character of the
insects was leanlbd, Bank Commissioner A.
B. Mygatt, of New Milford, a brother-in-law
of T’s, happened-in town, and he took the
bee business right up, as a good joke on T.
The incentive which Mygatt gave the matter
has been the means of loading '1‘. down with
all the weight he can carry, and. long ere this
he began to declare that he wished such a
thing as a hornet bee didn't exist. PAUL.

' BAR SOAP.
Future lexicographcn may perhaps
claim that the name “bar soap ” is ap-
propriately derived from the following
circumstances :
Seabriggins, some years ago, put
up at an old wayside inn, in Maine,
where he had previously been en-
abled to “wet his whistle ” without
any superfluous interrogatories being
propoundcd. But in the meantime
the prohibitory law had been enacted
and the more Imcntion of the obnox-
ious word toddy. was sufficient to
render the landlord indefinitely in-
dignant. $3; I
Seabriggins discovering the mistake
he had made in referring to such
an “ arrangement” offered {due apo-
logies as be supposed, yet he ob-
served in mine host a lurking ex-
pression indicating something akin
to vindictiveness.
“ Can I wash my face and hands ?”
inquired Scabriggins, respectfully.
Going to the room set apart for
ablation, the landlord closely followed
Seabriggins, and having entered the
narrow apartment, he securely fastened
the door.
Scabriggins naturally felt somewhat
apprehensrve as to results, when the
landlord with a gruff, sonorous articula-
tion, asked, ,
“ Didn’t you, stranger, call for a
drink ?” '
“I did,” submissively replied Sea.-
briggins, be having left his six-shooter
in his portmantcau, “but I was not
aware, my piratical friend, that I was

satisfactory “ nip,” as ed “ the damage.”

dear friend,” magnanimously respond-
ed the- landlord; “but, please,” he con-
tinued, a la Chesterfield, “don’t forget
to pay for your wash—the soap, I mean
—onl y ten cents.” ' '

SECRETS OF THE BOWL.
A saloon keeper, who has been con-
verted, published the following recipes
that he used to keep a secret:
Bourbon or rye Whisky is manufac-
tured from high wines, commonly
called fuscl-oil whisky, made to-day
and drunk three days after. It also
contains vinegar, syrup, oil of bour-
bon, French. coloring, bluestone, and
other poisonous chemicals. It costs

lails from $5 to $6 a gallon.
Cognac brandy is made from French

tilled whisky, one week old, salt-
petrc, ,finc salt, essence of oil of

Stock ale or porter is diluted with
oil of vitriol, strychnine, and aqua
Cortis to make it keep. New ale is‘
diluted withjoil of vitr'l and da-
ma ed molasses. Lager beer contains
a little malt, plenty'of water, some
with four ifi'ercnt chemicals to make
it keep after brewin .
An cx-liquor d_ or said that fluid:
sold over tweethirds of the bars are
compounded as above.
Another says the liquor dealers
never sell their liquor as they buy
it, but always water it. copiously.
When his stock was rebought by the
wholesale dealers they would not pay
him more than one-half of what he paid
for it, because it was not “proof” or
unwatcrcd, '
A Scientific schoolboy demonstrated

A' Gold Mine J okc in M ainc.
One of our correspondents writes that the
recent “discovery of gold” in’Oldlown came
about somewhat in this way: The town au-
thorities having contracted with one of the
citizens to build a town'cistcrn for fire depart-
ment purposes on the island occupied by a
large number of French families, it occurred
to one of the wags in town to have a little fun
and see how much of a stirring up he could
give the inhabitants upon the island. Ac-
cordingly he got a few pieces of real gold-
bearing quartz from a returned Californian,
and taking the builder of the cistern into his
confidence, deposited them during the, night
in the ledge where the cistern was to be, sev-
eral feet below the surface of the soil. The
next day he was carelessly upon the spot in
good season in the morning, and the two
made a wonderful discovery—no less than
the finding of real gold! A few hits were
taken into the shop of one of the jewellers,
and the workman on melting it pronounc-
ed it the real article and no mistake. The
news spread like wildfire, and as other small
pieces were found during the day the price of
real estate began to go up rapidly long before
sunset.
A third man eager to help on the fun was
very earnest in offering five thousand dollars
for a small building lot near at hand, but the
owner would not sell it short of ten thousand.
So far all went- well. Then a piece was sent
to Bangor and foupd to be as represented,and
the correspondent of the Commercial, not let
into the secret, however, had a glowing ac-
count of the discovery in the columns of that
paper.
As soon as the facts of finding became gen-
erally known, a certain legal gentleman, who
is always ready to help on a joke,offercd with
the aid of an enterprising merchant of the
town to get up a stock company, work the
mine and banish hard times by bringing
wealth at half its cost out of the bowels of
the earth in quantities to suit, and they two
would take fifteen thousand dollars in stock.
Visions of vast fortunes flitted before the
eyes of the lockers on, but no one, however,
could be found who was willing to risk much
real money on the present showing, and as
the thing had gone about for enough the re-
sult aimed at had been accomplished, and the 1
news had got into all the state papers and
into some out of the state, the projectors
slily let out the secret little by little, and to-
day, it is said, not a man can be found in all
Oldtown who ever believed that there was
any gold found on the island at alt—Bangor
Whig. '
A Queer Fish.
Amos Fish, one of the quccrcst men in A1-
bany, N. Y., died on Monday, leaving an cs-
tate of $50,000 to charitable institutions, and
cutting off his wife with a dollar a day In
describing his manner of life to a friend he
once said: “I buy a shank of beef from the
butcher, which costs me ten cents. My wife
makes enough soup from this to do us one
meal, then the meat cut from it afterwards
makes two more meals, or one day’s food for
10 cents. I split the bone and get the mar-
row for cooking purposes, and my wife finds
sufficient fuel in the bone itself to do consid-
erable cooking. Then in an iron box I save
the ashes, which I use for manuring a few
plants that cost ‘me six cents each.” Yet
when extra taxes were put upon the property
he very rarely, if ever, demanded more rent
from tenants than what they had been paying.
'He married a widow who had two children
anda little money. He offered to borrow
the money and to allow her seven per cent.
His wife accepted the proposition, and he
was in charge of the property for a long time.
One day he forced a settlement with her,
bringing in a bill for her own and the chil-
dren's board, and leaving her in debt to him.
THERE WAS A SPIDER ON
HIS HEAD.
Old Mr. Collamore is very deaf.
The other Sunday, in the midst of
the services, Mr. Hoff, who sits im-
mediately behind Mr. Collamorc, saw
a. spider travelling over the latter’s
bald head. His first impulse was to
nudge him and tell him all about it,
but he remembered that Mr. Colla-
more was deaf, so he lifted up his
band and brushed the spider off. Hofl
didn’t aim quite high enough, and
consequently, in his nervousness, he
bit old Collamorc quite a severe
blow. The old gentleman turned
round in a. rage to see who dared
take such a liberty with him, and
Hot!" began to explain, with gestures,
the cause of the occurrence. But
Collamore, in a. loud voice, demanded
what it meant. It was very painful
to Hofl‘. The eyes of the congrega-
tion 'werc upon him, and he grew
red in the face : .“Thcre was a. spider
on your head.” “A white place on
my head, hey? S’poscn there‘ is,
what's that to you? said Collainore,
“you’ll know what it is to be bald-
headed yourself some day.” “It was
a. spider,” shrieked IIofl‘, while the
congregation smiled and the perspira-
tion began to roll off his face. " Cer-
tainl it’s wider,” said Collamore,
“an got more in it than yours. But
let it alone—do you mind ? You may
let my head alone in church.” “Mr.
Collamorc,” shrieked IIofl‘, “ there was
a bug on' your head, and I brushed
him off—this way,” and 1100‘ made
another gesture at Collamorc’s head.
The old man thought he was going to
fight him then and there, and, hurl-
ing a hymn-book at Hoff, he seized
the kneeling stool on the floor of the
pew, and was about to bang Mr. Hoff,
when the sexton interfered. An ex-
planation Was written on the fly-leaf
of the hymn-book, whereupon Mr. Col-
lamore apolo
and resume his seat._ Then the ser-
yiccs proceeded. They think of ask-
ing Mr. Collamore to worship else-
where. -

A beau who left his allianccd inside

one who was only beside himself. _
TIGIITENER FOR WIRE
FENCE.
As fences made of wire are more
used, it becomes all the more neces‘
sary to have a suitable method of
tightening the wire. The usual man-
ner-.of straining the wire in one di-
rection only, tends to draw the strain-
ing post out of its position. But if
the roller upon which the wire is
wound, strains 'from both directions,
the. force IS equalized so far as the
straining post. is concerned, and it- is
necessary only to have the end posts
well stayed. In the best method
there are two posts fastened together
With a cap piece, and set firmly in
the . same hole. Each post is well
stayed with a brace, which supports
it ill the direction in which the wire
lS'dI'IIWIl. The posts are bored to re-
ocive rollers upon which the wires
are wound. One end of each roller
is made square, and somewhat larger
than the round part. The holes in
one of the posts are made square to
.fit. the square ends of the rollers. A
winch is also made to fit the rollers,
and the wu'es are tightened by turn-
ing the rollers with the winch. One
Wire is wrapped from above, and the
other from benealh‘thc roller, so that
both are tightened at the same time.
When the wires are drawn tight, the
square end of the roller is driven into
the square hole in the post, and the
rollers are firmly held.

A Result of Obstructed Dlgestlon._ _
Among the hurtful consequences of obstructed
digestion, is the impoverishment of the blood, and
since a determtlve condition of the vital fluid not
only produces dangerous organic weakness, but,
according to the best medical authorities, some-
times causes asphyxia. it is apparent that to im-
prove the quality of the blood by' promoting _di-
EIGBUOII and assimilation. is a wise precaution.
ostetter’s Stomach Bitters is precisely the reme-
dy for this purpose, 511108.10 stimulates the gastric
juices.'conqucrs.thosc blhous and evacuativc ir-
regularities which interfere with the digestive
processes, promotes asstmllation of the food by
the blood, and purifies as well as enriches it. The
at s of improvement in health in consequence of"
usmg the Bitters are speedily apparent in an ac.
cession of vigor, a gain in bodily substance. and a
regular and active performance of“ ‘cv‘cry physical
function. ' '

. Bantam
Liniments.
One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as a pain annihilator and curative agent as the
Centaur Liniments. These Liniments have within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralg‘a, Still-joints, Caked Breasts, Swollings,
Poisonous Bites, Burns. Lame Animals, ctc., ctc.,
than all other remedies combined. As the name of
Centaur implies half horse and half man, the Con-
taur Liniments are for man and beast. But not the
same Liniment. Tho White Liniment is for man
and the Yellow for horses and animals. Herein
this Linimcnt differs from all other remedies. al-
though some of the ingredients are aikc in each.
They contain the well-known WitchHazel, Arnica,
Cnrbolic, Rock Oil, Mcntha and other p owcrf‘u
ingredients.
Wm. II. Hickcox, Rector of St. J ohn’s E. Church
Wakefield, Clay 00., Kansas, writes: “Many years
I have been suffering from :1. Weak Back. caused
from a sprain more than 40 years a o. I havcmot
found any thing to relieve inc unti I commenced
the use of Centaur Linlmcnt. I feel it my Christ-
ian duty to inform you that by its wonderful cf-
l'ccts I am entirely relieved of pain. January 22,
1876.” ’
Messrs. J. McClure Sr. 00., Druggists, Cincinnati,
0.. says :—
. “Teamsters pronounce the Yellow Centaur Lin-
iment superior to anything they ever used. We
sell several dozen bottles per month, and the sale
is steady increasing.”
These are only samples of thousands upon thou-
sands 01 similar testimonials reaching us every
month. All the Extracts, Embrocations, Salves,
and Ointments in existence are not doingone-tcntll
the good which is done by these admirable Centaur
Liniments. For Frost-bitesfiStings, Cuts, Itch.
Salt Rheum, ctc., there is nothing like the Centaur
Llnimcnt. White Wrapper. For Spavin, Ring-
bone, Sweeney, Wind Gulls, Poll-evil, Scratches.
ctc., on horses, the Yellow Centaur Liniment is
equally good. They are certain in their effects;
they are pleasant to use, they are handy and they
are cheap. No family should be without Centaur;
Linimcuts. They are worth one hundred times
their cost.

mineral, morphine, nor alcohol. It is as pleasant

superior to any remedy in existence.
Dr. E. Dimock, of Dupont, Ohio, says:
"I am using Casroma in my practice with the
most signal benefits and happy results, and find it
a perfect substitute for Castor Oil.”
This is what every one says. Many nurses In

The extraordinary cures made by the faithful
use of this Tonic have excited the admiration and
the wonder of the World.
It has these admirable properties of regulating
the biliary organ, which make these Bitters of
such an incstimable value as a preventative, and
as a soothing and effective remedy for the innu-
mcrablc complaints which spring ”rum a disorder-
ed liver. '

of the Florida.Tonic Bitters is speedy and thor-

pet the seeds of malaria than all the nauseous med-

eler may be said to journey under safe convoy
