The great hot wave of the season passed
over this place last week. It was a mountain
billow. At its highest Crest one thermometer
0f the writer, in probably the coolest place
about the house, rose to 98 ° ,while another,
not in the sun but within a piazza on which
the sun shone, ascended to 108 ° .
“Rain, rain; water, water, ” is a loud cry.
Some wells have failed ; brooks have run
out; watering places are dry; many are
greatly inconvenienced by the difficulty of
getting water for drinking, culinary and
washing purposes. Many of the leaves of
the trees have turned yellow, and many have
already fallen to the earth. .
Rev. W. J. Jennings’ health has been poor
for two or three weeks, though he has been,

\VEST STRATFORD.
At the Court of Burgesses meeting, held
on Wednesday evening last, it was voted to
accept the preposition made to the borough
by the Consolidated road, that they would
build the abutments to the Prospect street
bridge, provided the town would hear the
rest of the expense, and the clerk was in-
structed to advertise for proposals for
grading and filling the approaches to the
same. It Was also voted to accept the dona-
tion of land from the Beardsley brothers for
Beardsley street, and the same was ordered
worked and graded. Noxt came a commu-
nication from citizens who own property in
the vicinity Of the oil works, stating that they
considered the business dangerous to adja—
cent property. The communication was
referred to the warden for action.
Sneak thieves are busy in this vicinity
stealing-flowers from dooryards, nights.
Last Sunday a disgraceful scene was wit-
nessed on our streets. A large omnibus load
of men passed through here (while people
were going to church,) presumably to have a
picnic. They were accompanied by a tam-
bourine and bone player, and each seemed to
be trying to make the most noise, while a
third member of the party was kept busy
drawing beer from a keg in the vehicle and
passing it to the rest of the inmates. It was
one of the most outrageous pieces of loafer-
iém that we ever saw perpetrated, and the
warden is to be requested to issue orders to
the police force to arrest all such contempti-
ble brutes in future: If things calling them-
selves men must hold drunken orgies on
Sundays, they should be taught that respec—
table people must not be disturbed by them.
Some of the residents of this place who

whipped the horse and broke away from
them, when one of the men named Welsh
fired a pistol at him the ball lodging in the
seat of the carriage. Welsh was arrested the
next day, when it came out that the two men
were there looking after a horse thief.
They thought Mr. Hart’s horse resembled
the one stolen, and therefore grabbed him.
Welsh says he thought he had a right to
shoot, supposing the man in the carriage to
be a horse thief. Held under $250 bonds. .

Hereaftc, tho GAZETTE will be on sale at-

Some weeks since there appeared in the
GAZETTE an item to the effect that in the top
from the ground on Mrs. Noah Bradley’s
premises, a hen had made her nest. was
laying eggs regularly every day. and, indeed.
was behaving in all respects, as hens do
which confine themselves to duty on the
sphere. That item got into cxdiangefi and
at this time is going the rounds of the press
the latest copied report coming from an en-
tcrprising journal 'of California, our towns-
man getting credit for owning one of the
most wonderful hens in the universe. Well?
the hen has got through laying, and is now
setting. Don’t smile! She's setting on the
top of that tree, as natural as a hen can set
(standing) on twigs and one big limb, with
the idea, evidently that some day she will
hatch—but what, the hen only knows. Mrs.
Bradley, feeling sorry for a hen so foolish as
to perch herself so high as to be entirely out
of society and regular feed offered below,
has sent a boy into thc tree to scare the hen
off, but she has invariably after filling up
with Mrs. Bradley’s corn returned to her high
perch, and seems likely to remain there.
Anybody can see the hen by calling on Mrs;
Bradley.

When that strong easterly wind set in
Saturday the yacht Whisper and another
yacht, both managed by men who know the
fine points of boat navigation, left the river
for the purpose of having the wrinkles taken
out of their canvas. The boats moved majes-

ed in force, darting through the canal like
birds of swift wing, and sporting upon the
waves outside. When off Seymour’s Rock
a gust struck the Whisper, lifting the mast
completely out of her, the occupants of the
boat having a narrow escape from drowning.
She was towed to her moorings by her com—

Mr. Edward W. Taylor has a patch of fine
watermelons into which, as he supposed,in—
truders would not find their way. Great
mistake. School boys, for instance, are
known to have scented melons from afar,
through stone walls and high board fences.
Mr. Taylor had confidence that the seclusion
of histateh would insure against. molestation,
till a few mornings since, whelcasting his
eye across the front verandah he saw severu
fine melons lying there. One of the largest
supported a piece of paper. upon which was
written, “From four friends who wish you
success in your melonpatch.” The inside of
each melon had been removed. That’s what
the boys went into the patch for.
Right Rev. Bishop Willia‘lnsvisitcd Christ
Church Sunday morning, preached, confirmed
ten persons andsddressed them. He was
assisted in the services by the rector, Rev.
Mr. -WiIliams, andfi‘Rcv. C. M. Selleck, of
Norwalk. From Ecclesiastes vii—lfihe took
his text, and showed that zeal without dis—
cretion and judgment was as foolishness—
that men may make themselves overright—
eons—and he also pointed out eloquently
the difference between the power to do a
thing and the right to do it. In the evening
the Bishop visited Memorial Church, preach -
ed and confirmed three persons. He was
asaisted by the rector, Rev. Mr. Lewis. He
preached from Ephesians iv—13, showing the
three great features of Christian character,
viz.: Conscience, Principle and Duty, em-
ploying St. Paul's figures of an athlete run—
«ning a race and a soldier fighting a fight to
illustrate his points. A very large congrega-
tion listened. .
Mr. Oourtland 0. Elwood, of Peoria, 11].,

meg” state amounts to something less than ’a
row of pins as a producer. Among other
things Mr. E. says he grows onions year after
year on the same soil without’fertilizing, and
claims that he can continue to do so. When
the expense which farmers here submit to in
bringing their cores to fertility is considered,
Mr. Elwood’s description is quite significant.
Mr. Andrew C. Nash, who has been dan-

“Secretary Blaine, notwithstanding the
fierce hate of the imperious stalwart, has won
golden opinions in the brief term of service

showing that the selection that had been
made was worthy of the choice. The few.
months that he has been in ofilce, has been
fruitful of opportunities to place his excel-
lent capacity in'a favorable light, and these
opportunities have not been lost or misap-
plied. Mr. Blaine has only begun his career,
and his growth in statesmanship before the
country and the world, has been such as to
give him a high position in American politics,
if his life should be spared. He is ranked
by the best writers of the day, as the fore-
most of American statesmen, to-day, and the
Republican party are not slow in the recog
nition. He has legions of friends who have
never lost their faith and hope of seeing
James G. Blainethe nominee of the Repub—
lican party, and the President of this great

The Newspaper as a Business
Enter-prise.
Charles Dudley Warner rarely speaks with-
out'saying something, and in his address be—
fore the Social Science Association on “The
American Newspaper" he said a good deal.
An especially sensible and pointed part of his
address is that wherein he states the business
relations of a newspaper to the public. His
remarks on this point will be approved in
every newspaper office where they are read.
In all communities where there are news—
papers there are many people-who seem pos—
sessed of the idea that newspapers are carried
on with much cost and labor for the sole ben-
efit of the public—that they are gift enter-
prises where nothing is or ought to be expect-
ed in return. This is a mistake. As Mr.
Warner says: “The newspaper is a private
enterprise. Its ’objcct is to make money for
its owner. Whatever motive may be given
out for startig a newspaper, expectation of
profit is the real one, whether the newspaper
is religious, political, scientific or literary.
The cxccptioaal cases of newspapers devoted
to ‘causes’ without regard to profit are so
few as not to affect the rule. Commonly the
cause, the sect, the party, the delusion, the
idea, gets its newspaper, its organ, its advo—
cate only when some individual thinks he
can see a pecuniary return in establishing it.”
This motive, as Mr. Warner points out, is
not lower than that which leads people into
other occupations or professions, and he
might have added that it. leads to good work
in the newspaper business as in any other.
The publisher of a newspapefiknows that he
cannot make money by making a poor paper. .
Therefore he makes as good a paper as he
can.
' A recognition of the fact that a newspaper
is a business enterprise will, as Mr. Warner
says, help to define the mutual relations be—
tween it and the public. The claim of the
newspaper maker upon the public “is exactly
that of any manufacturer or dealer. It is
that of the man who makes cloth or the gro-
cer who opens a shop; neither has a right to
complain if the public does not buy of him.
If any person wants to start a periodical de-
voted to decorated teapots, with the noble
view of inducing people to live up to his idea
of a teapot, very good; but he has' no right
to complain if he fails." 0n the other hand,
the public has no right to the newspaper ex—
cept what: it pays for. What Mr. Warner
says on this point the public ought to cut
out and paste in its hat.- It is as follows:
“The notion that the subscriber has a right
to interfere in the conduct of the paper. or
the reader to direct its opinions, is based on
a misconception of what the newspaper is.
The claim of the public to have its commu-
nications printed in the paper is equally base-
less. Courtesy and politeness may grant it,
but the right to do it does not exist. The
advertiser acquires no more rights in the
newspaper than the subscriber. He is enti-
tled to use the space for which he pays, by
the insertion of such material as is approved
by the editor. He gains no interest in any
other part of the paper, and has no more
claim to any space in the editorial column
than any other one of the public. ’ Akin to
the false notion that the newspaper is a sort
of open channel that the public may use as it
chooses is the conception of it as acharitable
organization. There is scarcely a charitable
enterprise to which it is not asked to con—
tribute of its space, which , is money, ten
times more than any other persons in the
community, who are ten times as able as the
owner of the newspaper, contribute. Any-
thing from a church picnic to a brass band
concert for the benéfit of the widow of , the
triangle the newspaper is asked to give. The
party in politics whose principles the editor
advocates has no doubt of its rightful claim
upon him; it asks without hesitation that
the newspaper should take , up its valuable
space by printing hundreds and often thou-
sands of dollars’ worth of political announce-
ments in the course of a campaign, when it
never would think of getting its halls, its
speakers and its brass bands free of expense.
No private person contributes so much to
charity, in proportion to ability, as the news-
paper. Perhaps it will get credit for it in
the next world; it never will in this.”
We do not imagine that Mr. Warner’s
clear and sound statement of the business
relations between newspapfirs and the public
will lead to a reform in the matters be com—
plains of, but it ought to. Considered in a
business light newspapers do much more
work for the public than they are paid for
doing. And yet, so general is the misunder-
standing of their true position, that they are
often‘heartily blamed for not doing more-—

Rejoiccth Not in Iniquity.
Among our most cherished memories is
that of a Christian lady who would not list-
en to an evil report; who would say at once
to the gossip that brought it : “You may be
mistakenf there may be some explanation of
the matter; we had better not talk about
such things even if we know that they are
true. Hasn’t that person any noble or amia-
ble traits of character ? Hasn’t he done some
good that we can talk about? It is a great
deal better for us to converse about pure
things than about vile things. If there is
really any carrion in ourcommunity fainting
the air we had better bury it is {soon as pos-
sible. The nightfand smell of it will be no
good. It may do us and our children a great
deal of harm. I don't want anybody totalk
about the faults ob others before my little
ones. I don’t want them to be comforted in
their naughtiness by hearing how naughty
other people are. And now suppose, instead
of talking about these folks, and getting our _
hearts set against them, we go into our closets
and pray for them.” The spirit of that lady
would banish gossip, with all its blighting
influence, from society—Em.

What the Director Said.
A Boston reporter, while in the office of
the New York and Boston Dispatch Express
Company, had a conversation with Mr. B. F.
Larabee, one of the directors of the compa-
ny, who gave the following personal efperi-
ence : “A little over a year ago I was taken
sick. I did not know what the trouble was,
but I continted to grow worse, and my
complaint baffled the skill of my doctors.
At last my symptoms dcvevcloped into that
terrible' complaint, Bright’s Disease, which
has been pronounced incurable by all physi-
cians. My sufferings at that time were
unspeakable. I bloated from head to foot;
my heart pained me; my pulse was irregular
and I was unable to breathe except in short,
convulsive gasps. While suffering thus I
learned of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and although I had been given up to
die by the prominent physicians of Boston,
and they had told my friends I could not
live a week. I determined to try this remedy
as a last resort. I am rejoiced to say it has
effected a perfect cure in my case, and with
many of my friends, who have been afllictcd
with kidney troubles, either of long standing
or in their acute forms, and who, under my
advice, have used this wonderful remedy.”

and Sierra Couiflcs, California. This property
which has been a largely paying one for the last
eleven years, is a. consolidation of pluck claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich
enough to produce one hundred millions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least 3300,000,which production it is proposed
to largely increase by the construction ofnew
for extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
Common stock of the Gold Gravel Company,
which is not for sale, guarantees that the pre-'
ferred stock which it offers to the public at par,
shah receive 12 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock—at the
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on Mrs total capital stock of one million,
should not belcss than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting Co., is a Con-
necticut Corporation With its chief office in New
York City. Its President is A. F. Wilmurth, the
Vice President of the Home Insurance Company;
and among its Director are J. 8. Stout, of Stout
& Co. , Bankers, New York, Henry E. Russell. of
the Russel and Erwin Mfg. 00.. New York, Geo.
P. Bissell,of Hartford, and James Bolter, Presi-
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the
highest repute and financial standing.
It is admitted by all who have any acquaint.
ance With the subject that the placer gold gravel
beds of California, afford an entirely sale and con-
servative field for investment if sufficient water
forhydraulic operations is available Prof. Win.
1?. B ake, of N cw Haven and other experts ofthe
highest character have reported most favorably
upon this property. In answer to the question
likely to be first askcdby the cautions New Eng-
land investor: "Why,if this is so good a. thing
does this wealthy company wish to sell any of
the stock"—it may be said that through thccom-
panics’ agents and experts in California, it has
opportun ties to use capital in similar invest-
ments which will pay the company fifty per cent.
which is anzordinary rate of miners interest. It
pro ones to continue so long as possible this
pro table use of money while givrng the public
the advantage of pure asing a twenty-five per
cent. dividend paying stock at par.
