meeting, voted to lay a sewer through
Barnum street, from a point opposite H. G.

is a good beginning, and thanks to Burgess
Fray who has been persistent in his advocacy .
of the measure.
An item is going the rounds of the papers,
regarding a Stratford goat which died from
the effects of eating a circus bill. We do
not know anything about the case, but we
do_not wonder at the death of. the goat if there
was as much lie (lye) in the bills eaten by it,
as there usually is in advertisements of the
kind. We know of but one showman that
performs all he advertises, we need not
mention his name, the world knows who we
mean.
An ice cream and confectionery store will

did not stay exploded worth a cent, and now
even the Tribune, Blaine’s New York organ,

a majority. According to this estimate Blaine

There are three persons among us who are
striving diligently to convey the idea that
National Hall is unsafe—that it is likely to
fall and hurt somebody, but the five hun—

and the two or three hundred who could not
, evening, May 3d.
getin for want'of seats, cannot be made to
beliove such nonsense. One of the diligent
strivers alluded to, is the some who, a few
years since, while carrying a hod of coal up
a stairway in his house felt something give
way inside of him, and thinking it avital
part and likely to result in death, hastened
to the late Dr. George Blackman for exami-
nation and an opinion, Laud that eminent
physician, confirming! his worst fears, the
striver (?) set about making a .will and pre-
paring for eternity. While languishing un—
der what he feared might be his last earthly
palpitation, he discovered that he had burst
a button off the waistband of his pants. He
recovered and has enjoyed good health ever
since. National Hall stands, and this striver
will cary many hods of coal, and burst off
many more buttons before it falls.
Mr. Cockcroft, who is blasting out a fur—
nace vault, will presently erect over the same
a hot house of immense proportions. It will
stand on absolutely solid foundations.
The funeral of Mrs. LeGrand Bradley of
Saugatuck, sister of Mr. Frederick More-
house, who died Tuesday, 18th, took place
from her late residence, Friday. The remains
were placed in the Judah vault in the old

An effort is on foot to induce our people
to observe Decoration Day, May 30th—ncxt
Sunday, and a committee consisting of
Messrs. W. C. Staples, Norman Kellogg and
Edward M. Lees,have publicly invited their
comrades, the resident clergy, the fire com—
panies and citizens generally to «assist. The
ladies too, have been solicited and they will
as they always do, respond liberally with
flowers with which to decorate the graves of
the fallen. There is diversity of opinion as
to the advisability of having the ceremonies
4 on Sunday, some preferringMonday. It is
to be hoped these differences may be so
adjusted before the arrival of the day itself,
that it can be observed as the patriotic mov—
ers desire. .
The marriage Thursday, of Captain Fred.
. Sherwood of the sloop C. H. Phillips to Miss
Julia D. Coley; daughter of Mr. David L.

ties having been kept so secret. The happy
pair will on their return from a wedding trip
receive the congratulations of numerous
friends.
The Teachers’ Institute held Friday and
Saturday at National Hall was a success
despite scurrilous sentiments tending to
reflect on the managers and teachers, pub—
lished in a local sheet. Two hundred and
fifty teachers were in attendance. and while
the scurrility created a false impression and
temporarily destroyed the enjoyment of
some, there was influence enough among our
good folks to counteract it, reassure their
guests and convince them that, despite the
rank opinion of one or two sour minded
. opponents of progress the people . West—
port are eminently hospitable and social, and
are capable of demonstrating the same.
There is a funny side to every serious ques-
tion and in this it transpires that the wives
of two of the sour opposers of Teachers’
Institutes came out bright and smiling in the
maintenance of what they knew to be right,
and with a little slyness bid to their houses
as many visiting teachers as they could
accommodate. At dinner, Friday, it may
not be improper to say, this being the season
of garden making, there was wormwood at
one end of the table, but sweet marjorum at
the other end so neutralized its manifest
bitterness as to make things pleasant. Rev.
Mr. Pogson’s lecture on the “Giants of Social
Life,” was appr‘eciated' by thevmen, and
voted splendid by the ladies. Professor
Russell’s non appearance Friday evening
disappointed many, but that gentleman re—
deemed himself at the hall next morning.
'Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Hyatt are entitled
to credit for good management throughout
of matters assigned to them. While Teach-
ers’ Institutes as now conducted by theState
Board, are not what they used to be, still
much of good comes from them, equal at
least to the pains taken to secure them, and
‘if ever again an Institute comes this way
Westport will gladly receive and entertain it.
After the strain to which the representa-
tives of H. M. S. Pinafore subjected it, and
after a powder explosion by burglars,
National hall still stands, as if to mock the
bowling of its enemies, and experts who
have examined its frame and walls say it will
_ require vast power and effort even to pull it
down.
The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Mills, mother
of Mr. Joseph Mills of this place, who died
in Green’s Farms May 17th, in her 7lst year,
took place Wednesday, Rev. Mr. Relyea
officiating, and the burial in the cemetery
adjoining the church.
Although some teachers who attended the
Institute went away with the thoughts in
‘theii- minds :that Westport is not a social
place, it has been established since last Fri-
day morning, that one or two cros s grained
men setting themselves up as oracles inso-
cial and educational matters do not, as they
cannot represent the true position of the fair'
thinking men and women of thisplace.

As if to show their disapprobation of
Teachers’ Institutes. one or two men with
more brains than sense, thought to break up
the proceedings by staying away. Their
course tended to insure the Institutes greater
success, and its real friends now exclaim
“Thank you? Please stay away again.
The man who went and wrote his will af-
ter something had burst inside of him, did
not attend the Institute.

of Rondout, N. Y.,removcd the foreign bodya

ilarly afflicted, used Kennedy's “Favorite
Remedy” in the earlier stages of the diseadb,
the medicine would have prevented the forma-
tion of the Calculus or stone, rendering a
dangerous surgical operation unnecessary.
Dr. Kennedy gave “Favorite Remedy" to
prevent the return of the disease, and Mr.
itts remains in perfect health to this day.

lmpure Breath.
Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an impure
breath must be the most mortifying and un-
pleasant to its possessor, and it is the most
inexcusable and offensive in society; and yet
the cause of it may easily be removed by
cleansing your teeth daily with that justly
popular dentrifrice, Fragrant SOZODONT.
It purifies and sweetens the breath, cools and
refreshes the mouth, and gives a pearl-like
appearance to the teeth. Gentlemen who
indulge in smoking should cleanse their teeth
with SOZODONT, as it removes all unpleas-
ant odors of the weed.- Ask your drug ist
for it. 4t2
