The weather indications are that we are ‘ to have a week of execptionally fine weather for our Fair this week. This is always the first source of anxiety. The next cause,— thc lack of exhibits and general success of the exhibition, is so dependent and conse- quent upon the weather, that when that is assured to be favorable, asatisfactory and profitable fall meeting becomes a certainty. Everything, at this writing, promises success and we can promise “all the world and the rest of mankind" that a visit to Norwalk and the County Fair this week, will provca pleasant and profitable recreation and we hope to see all our good country cousins, uncles and aunts, grand-pas and grand-mas, as well as all the denizens of the more popu- lous towns and cities of. our coast. And don’t forget the grand Musical contest and Tournament for to-day,Tuesday. ‘ The State Fair. The entries for exhibit at the State Fair at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, this week, are thus far more than were ever made for any previous exhibition of State Agricultur. a1 Society. All of the prizeherds and cat- do from the New England fair at Worces- ter will be shown. There are twenty-eight herds of short-horns, fifty head of Devons, about 100 of Jersey's, and twenty .of'Herc- fords. P. T. Barnum's celebrated Holstein (or Dutch) cattle are to be exhibited. They are white, with a broad black belt. There will also he s' number of Swiss and Guern- says. The entries are numerous, in other departments. Another Fair. The fair of the American Institute also opens in New York on Wednesday of this week. This may be put down as the great Fair week of the century. The Raging Pestilence. The reports from the plague-stricken re- gions of the South continue to be of the most heart-reading character. The fatal type of the fever is unparalleled, and the gloom, desolation, destruction of all business, and death are appalling. Hundreds of men, women and children die daily, may without possible medical help or a nurse to put a cup of cold water to the expiring lips. At New Orleans. Memphis, Vicksburg, Grenada, and other infected points, the .diseasc only seems to give way when there are no more victims to fall. It was hoped at New Orleans that the crisis of the disease would be‘ reached today. As it is, dead corpses, lie in decomposition from utter inability to bury with sufiicient rapidity. Friends of the dead cannot follow;the remains of their loved ones to scpulchre because the remaining sick need the incessant care of every one able to move, It. is to the credit of our humanity that the loyal North has responded in noble contribu- tions to aid in the alleviation of this horrible aggregation of suffering. A still nobler band of physicians, nurses and dispensers of chari- ty have even more heroically stood on the ground in face of the pestilence and death,to administer aid and succor to the stricken, the despairing and the dying. These be heroes in the truest and grandest sense, and may merciful heaven reward their self-sacrificing devotion to the cause and calls of a common humanity. There is little or no hope of any material cessation of the pestilence before frost shall come to destroy the fatal germs of the disease with which the southern air seems sureharged. The recitals in the daily dispatches are sickening and saddening to the last degree. Let all who can do at once all that can be doncfor the aid of these our stricken brethren. Help for the Sufferers. An entertainment is being talked of by our local dramatic'amuteurs in aid of the yellow fever sufferers. We hope this and all other means will be adopted by our citizens for contributing Norwalk's mile to the much needed charity anti let the aid come at once. “If ’twerc done, then 'twerc well it were done quickly." ' The horrible fever shows no sign of abate- ment inthe Southern cities. In New Orleans between five and six hundred fresh cases are reported daily, with many deaths. On Sat- urday, Memphis reported 103 deaths in twen- ty-four hours. In Vicksburg the negrocs are the greatest sufferers. =32: Good Roads. The condition of our roads, since: the re. cent heavy rain requires immediate repairs in very many places about the town and bor- ough. Main street was never in so good con- dition owing to the fact that a bed of the best gravel ever put on our roads was discovered on Capt. Henry Lamb’s premises and by him freely donated to the Borough; West Avenue is also in tolerable condition. 2 Silver Wedding. A genial and congenial party of friends congregated last Friday evening, at the house of tax-Alderman Plait Price,to honor the bride and groom of twenty-five years. A substan- tial and showy array of silver mementoes of the donor's kind feelings towards the happy pair, were among the other attractions. Messrs. Fred and Frank Mead worthily mains tained their high reputations as caterers, while rare vocal and-instrumental music, by Miss Selleck and Messrs. Cousins, Price and others, added greatly to the other delights of the occasion.The universal wish of every guest seemed to be that the happy and well pre- served pair might live to celebrate their gold- en and even diamond wedding. ” In the interest of science and natural enri- osity, we oficr a reward of ten trade dollars for the capture of the sea serpent which has so often been seen in the Sound of late years, provided that said animal proves to be as rep- . resented, and is at. least fifty feet in length. For every additional foot in length we will trade a dollar. The award will be paid for the serpent dead or alive, upon its being de- livered into our possession. Now, fishermen, stop growling about hard times, and go for . the great dodger. ” Mrs'rxxnx Inaxrrrv.——In Danbury, the other day, the Fire Police boys had a good laugh at the expense of their President. As the company leftths depot under escort of Kohanza Hose Company, a man from New Milford was seen to punch a compan- ion, and excitedly remark: “ Say, did you see that mam—pointing to Lawyer Wilson, —that’s WARNER!" He was seized at once. .but saved his uniform and position, by show- ing a good but and pleading not guilty. # Mr. R.

THE CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS nos. 11. c. nomxsox nor To an ms exam- mrn r01: eovauNon—now run TICKET wrrr. PROBABLY Br. MADE or. Special Dispatch to the New York Times. Haarronn, Sept. 5th.—It is now positively announced that Hon. H. C. Robinson will not again be the Republican candidate for governor, which will probably lead_ to the nomination of an entirely new State ticket by The New Haven Palladium says there will be no candidate for governor from that city, though IIon. Francis Wayland has been fa- vorably spoken of in different parts of the State. As Mr. Robinson withdraws, Hart- ford will not be expected to bring forward any name. IIon. Oliver Hoyt, of Stamford, it is understood, will run again for the State Senate and will not go before the State Con- vention as a candidate. It is also sald that 1f Hon. F. J. Kingsbury, who has been on the ticket for LieutenantGovernor, declines to have his name used for the first place, the Waterbury Republicans will present the name of Hon. Charles Benedict, alarge man- ufacturer and a man of fine business capacity, who would have strong support -in*the" con- vention. Hon. David Gallup, of Plainficld, is the only conspicuous candidate fer Lieu- tenant-Governor so far named. As the party does not want'for a good and available men to put forward as candidates, it may be ex- pected that the convention will, after consid- crin all the locality and other claims, make a tie of which will secure the hearty support of the Republicans of the State. The Times has an unusually well informed correspondent looking after our Connecticut politics. It is a somewhat uncertain business, nevertheless, at “this stage of the proceed- ings” to determine with accuracy whose the precise names will be upon the Republican State Ticket. A much greater degree of in- terest centres on the political complexion of the Legislature, in consequence of the elec- tion of a United States Senator for six years, hanging thereupon. No better name than that of Graves How could be selected to head the State ticket, but without positively knowing the fact, we think he would more readily assent to again represent the 12th Senatorial District, in the State Senate, than accept the nomination for Governor. One thing of far greater consequence is certain: that is—the Republicans of Connecticut will utter no uncertain sound on the great financial and labor issues now before the American people. It will declare for honest money and national good faith in the payment of its obligations, in the only money standards of the world, to the end that business prosperity may again be restored and the laboring man receive the just rewardsof his daily toll in a currency subject to no dcpreciations. and fluctuations. In this case, “Honesty is the best Policy" and the only policy that will win the votes of the masses.of sensible, thinking working men, as well as of capitalists. What- ever the result, we feel confident the Repub- licans of Connecticut will not disgrace them- selves by any course of» which they would feel ashamed in less than a twelvcmonth. ' The September Elections. The elections in Vermont and Arkansas last week resulted just as everybody suppos- ed. ' The former went Republican, the latter democratic. The state election in Maine oc- curred yesterday and the result is not known at this writing. The Legislature and the Congressional ticket are deemed secure by Senator Blaine. The Republicans have done vigorous work for honest money, the only issue introduced into the canvass. The greenbackcrs and democrats are united and have made quite an earnest contest. The general outlook is encouraging to Republican success north of the old Mason and Dixon line. The business men of the country seem to fear the ascendency of the mad caps of modern democracy. Was it Murder ‘2 On Friday morning last, the body of a col, ored man was found on the railroad track, near the first bridge this side of Danbury. His skull was crushed in and his back broken . Persons who examined the body, thought the wounds were not caused by a railroad acci- dent. The inan took part in the parade the day previous, as a water carrier, and very freely showed considerable money. When found, no money was left upon the body. Annual Parade. The Burnside Guards are ordered out on Wednesday, at 7% a. m., for target practice, drill, etc. While pants will be work during the afternoon, and a march to the Fair Grounds is among the possibilities. # Our Bridges. _ The New Canaan Bridge, at the head of River Side Avenue, is being temporarily re. paired. The . stringers were found badly decayed and the wonder is that no accident had occurred in consequence of its insecuri- ty. A new. doubled arched stone bridge can now be built there for a total ,cost of $600, or an Iron Bridge for about $1000. For safety and permanence and exemption from repairs, to say nothing of beauty, it is prob- able that an Iron Bridge would be cheapest in the end. The Bridgl South of Allen Bett's Mill has been widened six feet and thoroughly rc- built. A judicious and much needed im- movement. The decayed wooden Bridge across Bark Mill Brook, South of St. Paul’s Church, is to be taken up and Wm. Sheldon has contracted to erect a stone arched bridge in its place for $100. This is a very low contract and our Selectmen have shown commendable wisdom in securing the improved structure upon such remarkably favorable terms. The town ought to rebuild the Aupbithem tre Bridge in the interests of the public, as the old one built by private enterprise, has been worn out in its service. As the streets are now laid out continuously from Bclden Avenue on the west side of Norwalk River to the Fair Grounds on the east, this Bridge would be more used by the people than any Bridge in town, with the exception of the one here at the centre of the Borough and that now being repaired on the New Canaan road, south of Chas. Kellogg's. Much, if not most of the work could be done by those who would have to be assisted by the town any- way, and now is a good time to do it. ~ The Eagle came out last Saturday, with an entirely new and tasty heading, sub-heads over each page, printed on better paper than usual, and with two columns of local advs. on the first page. Mr. Merchant takes much pride in the appearance of his paper, and the character of its contents. The young Misses seem to have made out pretty well at their lantern festival, last Wednesday evening, considering the weather. The rain prevented the contemplated Chinese lantern illumination of the grounds, but the scene in doors was quite pleasant. About;all the fancy articles were-disposed of, and re- freshments of various kinds were abundantly provided. Tun HxEns Storms—Now that the dog days are over, Hall entertainments are again in order. The season at Music Hall, will open with that excellent troupe, the Hycrs Sisters, in their new Opera Bouffc “Urlina, or the Africm Princess."

All who heard this troupe, last season, will be anxious to hear them again. —~———-H-o————— ' Who regulates the matter of sprinkling of the Streets? A suburban resident com- plains that the holes of the sprinkler are too large, and consequently let out so much water (he says it is to save trdulfi of going over route often) that instead°of simply laying the dust the streets are made muddy? For: two successive days he came in with a freshly washed carriage and each time on striking the Borough andCity streets the carriage immediately received a coat of mud. ‘ OD... —.

LARGE FIRE: And Heavy Losses. A fire in ADAMS Buos.’ Hat Factory at South Norwalk, was discovered by John Tattle and Owen Ncagle, Railroad employ- ees, engaged in firing up their engine, at about 2 o’clock on Friday, morning. When first discovered, the blaze was confined to thc Dye Shop and although rapidly spreading inside towards the main wings of the Factory, a few pails of water would probably have extinguished it all and saved the serious con- flagration that followed. As no water could be procured the railroad men run their engine out from the round house and sounded the whistle as an alarm. The Police soon suc- ceeded in making the alarm general bringing out the Firemen and others, but as the flames had made such headway and the buildings were all of wood, it'was found impossible to arrest its progress. The Hat Factory was soon enveloped in one lurid sheet of flame and as the night was cloudy the light was reflected for miles. Adjoining the Factory, was a building owned by Lawrence Cava- naugh, and occupied by Chas. Miller as a Harness Shop, and up stairs by Charles Dauehey and family, as a residence. This was soon consumed. Mr. Miller got out most of his stock, but poor Dauehey lost about everything he had in the world. His wife even left her pocketbook and children’s clothing behind in her frantic haste to escape. The next house to the west was owned and occupied by Cavanaugh, and by the free use of the hydrant water, was saved with a par- tial destruction of its east side walls and a general drenching of the dwelling. Cava- naugh’s loss on both buildings must be not far from $2,500, fully $2000 of which is on the shop and a total loss, as he had no insurance except on his dwelling. As the danger of the fire spreading was from the west side, the efforts of the firemen were wisely directed to its' arrest here, and nobly did they battle with the flames, as the charred side of Cavanaugh’s house fully attest. While all the available water was being poured on adjoining edifices on the north, west and south sides, the old repair shops of the New York & New Haven Railroad caught and that being also of wood, was soon in ashes. It was occupied below by A. Hath- way, as a Blacksmith, and up stairs by Harry Tilly as a carriage repair shop, most of their tools and stock were saved and Tilly. at least. saved several of his customers vehicles .stored in his loft, and has sufficient insurance to cover his loss. The loss of the Railroad Company in the building is about $1800 to $2000, and insured. Miller’s loss is about $1000 and his insurance $450 in the Roches- ter N. Y., German. Dauehey probably suffers the severest personal loss. He lost all his furniture and clothing of himself and family. A sewing machine and one straw bed only of all his effects were saved. He is reputed a most worthy man and his ruin is so complete that his case appeals strongly to the public for prompt and generous aid. The total loss of the Adamcs’ in actual dollars is about $30,000. Insured for $18,- 000, and all of it, fortunately, by Cowles & Merrill, as that is a guarantee of its prompt and satisfactory adjustment. But the most aggravating part of the loss to them is in the fact that they had just received “Order Wor " to the utmost capacity of their Fac- tory and force, to turn out, and of course, all this profitable, custom work is lost to them and to their more than anxious work- men, who have so long been on short work. ' It was a sad sight, to witness their workmen and workwomen, who had come to the Fac- tory Saturday having no knowing of its des- truction, eager to earn their day’s pay. The hat factory was 72-feet by 24, with an addition 80 by 30. The hat company esti- mate their loss at $30,000. Nothing was saved but a few hats in the soak tubs, the factory books and all the workmen’s tools being consumed and nothing left standing but the chimneys. A brick fireproof struc- ture made with iron doors, and which stood a few yards behind and east of the burned factory, was not touched. In it was stored raw for to the value of several thousand dol- lars, and at times it has held $10,000 worth of such property. The factory will be immediately rebuilt with brick and rendered as nearly fire-proof as possible, and the hundred workmen now thrown out of work, will again be put to remuncraiivc employment. It is just nine years since the Messrs. Adams were burned out before and little doubt can reasonably be entertained that on this occasion as on that, it was the Ivork of some wicked incendiary. Thc'firm is both‘entcrprising and ener- getic, and largely enjoys the public confi- dence, so that this temporary check to their prosperity, will be bravely borne, by them, and recovered from, with all possible celcri- ty. 'Their insurance‘ was well diffused, and no onefpolicy cxccededltwo thousand dollars, showing a business caution and sagacity on the part of insurer and insured; The loss $18,000 insurance is divided among the fol- _lowing well known and first class compan- li'S :—1Etna, Pilmnix, and IIartford,of Ilart, ford; Manhattan, Westchcster and Hoffman of New York; Franklin, of Philadelphia; Queen, North British, and Imperial and Northern. Strangely no alarm was heard at the Bridge although the fire was seen by many, who in the absence of any outcry thought it some unimportant barn. The firemen had returned late wet, and tired out, from the Daubury Parade and it is quite generally supposed this fact led the incendiary to con- sider it a rarely good time to rouse them out of their beds and put them to the vig— orous work, they so cheerfully accepted. This theory is reasonable, so far as is known, the Adam's have no personal enemies, any— where and the firing of their premisse cannot; be traced to malice. This’ severe lesson should prompt all all our authorities and citi- zens to increased vigilance, as we have abundant evidence of the presence among us of the unrestrained, evil disposed. P. S.—-Adams Brest with their apt business sagacity have leased the Norwalk Iron Works and are now moving in, and before the week is out, will have their hundred, and more workmen rushing out hats by the hundred thousands. . . fl vaarn Sermons—The Misses Brockway’s full term commenced yesterday. ’ Dr. Fitch’s school also commenced yester- day. . .

Our enterprising correspondent C. F. B. urgently recommends the construction of a dock and lock in our harbor below South Norwalk, so that at any stage of low tide all vessels may find ready ingress and egress to and from South Norwalk and the Bridge. This would be a most desirable public work, but as it would have to be done town-wise or by individual owners of property adjacent to the harbor line, we fear, as desirable as it might prove, it is for the present impracti- cable. IIc urges also the construction of a new Town House at sotne suitable point mid-way between the Bridge and South Norwalk. This really Ought to be done before the present low prices of labor and material pass by. The point of land in front of Eimcnsworth owned by the Marvin Brothers, or even the old Thomas Benedict homestead, both of which properties are now in the mar- kct at low figures, as we understand, would make a most suitable location and some action ought to be taken on the subject. A con; sigcrablc amount could be rtalizcd from the sale of our present Patagonian structure, and probably never again could this desirable pub- lic work be so cheaply and advantageously accomplished. PERSONAL. Dclos E. Culver, Esq, was in town over Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Weed started for Saratoga, last week. Miss Treadwcll, of New Milford, is visiting her aunt, Miss J ulia Lockwood.

The father and brother of Mr. Wilson of Harwinton, are visiting him. The Danbury Parade. Great interest was manifested here, last week in the Fireman’s parade at Danbury. Our entire Boro’ and City Fire Department, having decided to accept an invitation to par- ticipate, resolved to make an appearance that would in every way redound to_ the credit of old Norwalk. The companies vied with each other in the work of ornamenting their appar- atus, and every man paid careful attention to his own personal appearance. The public generally was as deeply interested as if the parade was to be in town, and many con- templated an excursion to Danbury to see the parade. Wednesday afternoon and evening, the skies were anxiously watched, and when the rain came, clear weather was hoped for before morning. A thunder shower early Thursday morning, it was thought, would clear up the skies. But no, the drizzling rain continued. Hoping against hope, the firemen resolved to go, and not disappoint their Danbury friends. An extra train with companies from the East, went up soon after eight. _ At nine another long extra, with our firemen. started with two locomotives, and made good time. At 9:37 the regular train, filled to overflow: ing, followed. On account of the rain but few people outside of the department ven- tured out. Arriving in Danbury, the differ- ent companies were courteously received, and at once escorted to places where bounti- ful collations had been prepared, and which were served with lavish hands. At noon it did not actually rain, but the mud was deep. Soon after the line commenced to form, a drizze set in. As the head of the line moved into Main street, it rained quite hard. The forming of the line was long and tedious, and standing quietly in the rain was un- pleasant. Finally the long line was in readi- ness, and the order came to march, the rain increasing. Wheeling into West street, company front, the Fire Police plunged into a ' slough of dos-pond on the start, and the left guide was _scen to throw up his arms and beg to be drawn out before he should sink entirely out of sight. Preserving an alignment on such a march was very uncertain and difficult, and drawing heavy apparatus was exceedingly hard work. But the boys were in for it, and determined to make the most of circumstances. The harder it rained, the better natured they all appeared to be. Everywhere along the line, they found decorations, and were cheered by the crowds of people who were comfortably sheltered under piazzas. The line was long and despite the rain the show was a fine one. As the line wheeled into Main street for the homeward stretch rain commenced to fall. No drizzling, but a right down good rain. Grad- ually the rain increased, and with no cessa‘ tion or let up it came down in torrents. As the rain poured down, spirits went up. There was no dcscrting the ship. The men became; jolly, and as they mare bed on they were cheered with still more enthu- siasm. They waded through “Mountain torrents" at least twenty feet wide and near- ly _two feet deep, but the Bands played merry tunes and the men marched on, laugh- ing, singing and cracking jokes. The streets wcrc full of rubbers, new and old, and the man with low shoes was better off than his neighbor who wore boots. Ar- riving at the tent, it was found soaked through and the splendid collation was all afloat. The ladies said that at 11 o'clock, the tables “looked just lovely," but what a change ! With umbrellas in one'hand and pitchers of hot coffee in the other the ladies passed down the tableswith the bright- est smiles and sought to comfort and cheer thesoaked and bedraggled firemen. The collation was a splendid one, and under ordi- nary circumstances would havc been very enjoyable. However, all partook as best they could, and only seemed to feel sorry for the bitter disappointment of their hosts. After dinner the companies looked after the shipping'of their apparatus, and most of the men returned by the first trains in order to siblc. The Concert in the evening, and the subse- quent dance, are said to have been quite en- . joyablc. - It?

As will be seen .by the column advertise; ment in to-(lay’s GAZETTE, the great Barnum Chatham Square Clothing House, which has been advertised, 10 these many years in our columns, has come to realizing sense of the value of our paper as a first class advertising medium, and while many of our town busi- ness men dole out a “card" or small adver- tisemen', fearing it will not pay, this wide- awakc firm, knowing what it is about, is sat- isfied with not less than a column. For this they are entitled to no special praise for hav- ing discovered by their own experience and experiment, that it pays them to advertise and advertise largely, in the GAZETTE, they as a matter of course want to make all the money they can out of it. But there is an- other reason why it pays. Theythem keep an enormous stock. They import their own goods in enormous quantities andhavc them made up at the lowest possible price consist- ent with the best and most fashionable work- manship, and when a customer calls, Barra- clough, the Norwalk representative of the ancient and honorable firm, satisfies all com- ers that nowhere else in the city can such superior garments be bought for so little money.

C , is enjoying with her son and daughter the appetizing air of Norwalk, at the residence of her uncle, D. C. Nash, Esq. Dennis Kearney is threatened with a New Jersey libel suit. Dennis is fast playing out, and the Herald already spells the handle of his name with only one u. Supt. Vail, the able head of the Railway Postal Service, has been forced to resign be- cause OI the ignoriint cutting down of his sal- ary by the cheese paring Congress. Pres. Hayes is attending Agricultural Fairs in Minnesota. If our Fair managers had been sharp he might have been secured to draw crowds at our fair this week. Hon. T. L. James, Post Master of New York, has raised among the employees of the New York Post Oflicc a noble contribution for the fever sufferers at the South. Mr. W. II. Smith,successor to W. C. Street if; 00., seems to be “pushing” business. He keeps a large stock of goods, in great variety and delights to “keep things moving.” The State election in Maine occurs to-day, (Monday). We go to press too early to ob- tain any returns. Indications are very favor- able for a sweeping Republican victory. On account of the unpleasant weather, last Wednesday, the picnic which was to have been held by the primary class of the Baptist Sunday School was indefinitely postponed. The dramatic entertainment referred to elsewhere as prepared by the Ladies’ Own Sociable in aid of the yellow fever sufferers, is determined upon to come off next week. Dr. Nolan’s house presents qmtc an attractive appearance since the “topping off" of his tower. It is going to be both a very pretty and very “handy" residence when completed. More than five hundred persons were drowned last Tuesday by the sinking of a pleasure boat on the river Thames, England. caused by being run down by another vessel. The President of the Park National Bank, New York announces that his bank, will tele- egraph daily all contributions deposited with them in aid of the yellow fever sufferers at the South.

If stormy, the meeting will be held in Lcckwood‘s Hall. Mrs. Ex-Mayor Samuel Daskham had a gorgeous exhibit of a night blooming Ccrcus last week. The Cactus had several blossoms which gradually unfoldedfiuring the even- ing to the delight of many visiting friends.- It is suggested that our Borough fathers have all the street lamps painted white so they may be seen 0' nights when the moon is sup: posed to be out—but isn't, like the rainy nights of last Week, when they Were not lighted. . The city council voted $25 towards de- fraying Chief Kinney's orpcnses to the Na- tional Association of Fire Engineers. As Eugene has a free pass over the railroads, he will probably get along nicely on this amount. May he have a good time. John chna, yielding to one of the great needs of the town, is about to erect a brick grocery store opposite James Finney’s, corner Main and School street. Next to a few more dogs and newspapers, the imperative need of Norwalk is more grocery stores. There is considerable inquiry uow-a-days as to who has the making of the fees in the dog cases, now becoming so frequent and what becomes of the money mulctcd out of the owners of unlicensed dogs; how much goes into the town treasury? ' The Borough has appointed acommittee to obtain estimates for the construction ._ of a small damacross Norwalk River from Prow- itt’s Drug Store foundations to those of the GAzn'rra BUILDING, the object being to float off the offensive deposits new cast into the river. The “lean men” had a clam bake last week after the manner of ye jolly fat men. They went home full of clams and indigestion to wrestle with horrid dreamy, ”dull because they didn’t come to the Dorlon” House where they know'how to cook things so they won’t torment the stomach worse than a murder. til“ Read Barman, NAsu A: Srnus'r‘s adv. ——-o—— . .
