died on Friday night, aged nearly sixty-four
years, was attended at the Zion’s Hill M. E.
Church, yesterday, at 10 a. m. The remains

RE DDING.
On the evening of Oct. 29th, when Tim
O'Connell was ascending Gallow’s Hill_on
his way from Bedding Station to his home be
was suddenly assailed by two men, one of
whom struck him in the face, and the other
seized his coat-collar and gave the garment a
severe rent. Mr. McC. tore himself away,
escaped from their power, and soon reached
Mr. Iracl Carter’s without further harm.
Rev. W. J. Jennings returned last Tucs-

There was a large attendance of: Redding

The copious ruins of last week were joyful
to the people. The emptied cisterns have

WEST STRATFORD.
Both parties have made their nominations
for Representatives. A comparison of the
candidates shows the following facts. An-
son H. Blakernac, the candidate of the Re-
publicans is a man born and reared in this
town, and whose whole interest is centered
here. He is a gentleman of culture and re-
finement, aisd will make a representative of
whom the town will have no cause to be
aehamed. -
The candidate of the Democrats is Ardin
L. Judd, son of A. B. Judd, who was rep-
resentative from this town some years ago
when E. A. Woodward was in his prime.
It was alleged at that time that Mr. Judd’s
methods were similar to those used by
"Woody.” Mr. Judd is a lawyer,who makes
Meriden his place of business, coming to
Stratford occasionally to spend a day or two.
He has no interest, whatever, in the affairs
of this lo.vn,"out it is believed among a cer-
tain class of those who helped nominate him
that he will “heel” some of the boys on elec—
tion day. Let this be as it may we do not
believe the voters of this town can be led to
elect a man for representative whose interests
are not centered in it.

Rumors are in the air to the effect that
text books now in use in our public schools
are to be replaced by new ones. To some
extent this is a good, for some of the books,
as is well known, are unworthy the honor ac-

ing the present movement are the same who,
a few years ago caused Webster's Elementary
Spelling Book— the best book of the kind
ever employed—to be discarded. For that
act, patrons of the schools say they should
have been horse whipped. A better punish-
ment would have been to whip them out of
office.

New Furniture for the White
House.
Every one who has visited the White
House since it was refurnishcd in 1873 will
be glad to know that the steamboat style of
furniture in the east room, which even when
new was never suitable for so elegant a
drawing-room. is to be replaced by a new
set showing handsomely carved woodwork.
That which has been there eight years, it
will be remembered, showed no wood at all.
The room in whichlllrs. Garfield, and after-
ward the President, was so long ill, is not
t3 bef‘nrnished, as its furniture, which is
very handsome, is still in good repair. The
furniture is maple and ash combined. The
walls have, however, been recently kalso-
rained over the tinted paper which has been
on them so long. and which now look very
fresh indeed. The C’)ll)l‘s are pale blue,
panelled with pale pink, divided by gilt
mouldings. Where the table stood on which
the physicians and nurses measured out
medicines and other liquids used in the room
the wall had been splashed and was much
discolored. These spots are now entirely
obliterated. The lift now being placed in
the White House will runup to the attic,and
can be used either for the passengers or
household purposes.

“ Gilded Sin.”
Howard Crosby, D. D., LLD., late Chan-
cellor of the New York University, recently
preached a faithful and fearless sermon in
the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church,
New York, of which he is pastor, on the
text “ Everycrecping thing that fiietlr is un-
clean unto you." (Dcut. xiv, 19) which is
published in the Ohm-oh Union under the
title “Gilded Sin." He says "The nauseous
caterpillar has dressed Itself as a beautiful
butterfly and in this form sports. The wings
and pretty colors have not altered the nature
of the vermin. The same uncleanness is
there as before,” the. ‘ '
One of the most successful cloaks for sin
at the present day is sc-called art. “ Art”
is something very lovely and refined. It: is
a grand thing for the young to know all about
art. It shows high breeding to admire and
criticise art. Now, there is a grain of wheat
and a bushel of chaff in all this thlk.
To one genuine artist who only looks to the
art, there are a 1000 hypocrites, who know
nothing about art, and only adopt the lan-
guage of art to hide their- sinful tendencies.
In the name of art they go to see the pub-
lic performances of a loose woman,and watch
the movements of a play that makes light of
.the marriage relation. In the name of art
they fill their parlors with nudities, in volup-
tuous form and color, by which the youth
of the families are stimulated to sensuality
and debauchery; and, in the name of art,
the young artist sits before his nude model
for her destruction and for his. The dirty,
creeping thing has wings—beautiful art
wings—and, therefore, Christian men and
women are to love it and fondle it! And if a
friend cxpostulates, or a minister of the holy
God mentions, as delicately as possible, this
fashionable filthiness, then he is accused of
wicked thoughts and low views, and the old
chorus is heard : “ Pvurz's amm‘al pure!"
“ Hom‘ soft gui mal ypense ! ” under the noise
of which the rebuke is drowned, and the in-
dulger in refined sin continues his indulg-
ence. ,
Brethren, it is a solemn matter; and, how-
ever my motives may be misconstrued, I shall
speak out faithfully in view of my account
to God. Our city is full of this cloaked vice
-—-these winged, creeping things. We have
largely imported them from France, and are
endeavoring to outdo France in their use.
Our young men are being poisoned; and the
mothers who have poisoned them, by their
conformity to sinful fashions, wonder that
their sons go astray. In every way luxury
can devise, passions are inflamed, and then
modesty is called prudery. Indecent dress-
ing, lascivious dances, immoral innuendo in
conversation, form part of this refined sys-
tem of destroying the soul, in which Chris-
tians engage, because they must be in the
fashion. The creeping thing down in a
dance-house in Water street they would ex
claim against; but the winged, creeping
thing that flies in the up-town“ parlor they
delight in; yet it is the same venomous
beast.
Brethren, I have told you to-day the secret
of thousands of tragic incidents in families
of education and refinement. We see re-
corded in the daily papers the gross forms of
crimes appearing before our police courts;
but we do not see so recorded the families
broken up and ruined, health shattered,
characters destroyed, lives blasted, which
are the direct results of the sinful practices
of refined society. I have not drawn on my
imagination for this picture. I speak that
which I know.

When Brother Blaine was a. Boy,
A lady with me spoke to Mr. Blaine, but
was not immediately recognized. I said:
“You have not get that famous memory in
perfection you used to have when you recog-
nized William Lawrence of Bedferd.”
“ What was the recognition of Lawrence
of Bedford? ”
“Well, Lawrence, who has picked up con-
siderable fortune of late years, went to
school with Blaine twenty-nine years ago at
Little Washington, Pa. Coming to Washing-
ton city one timc, he heard me say that I was
going to see Mr. Blaine. ‘ I wonder,’ he said.
‘if Mr. Blaine would know me now, after
twenty-nine years.’ ‘ Certainly he will know
you,’ said Montgomery. ~ ‘Thc last night,’
continued Mr. Lawrence, ‘ Blaine was in
term I sat up with some half dozen boys who
agreed to watch the night out until the stage
came along to take him to the Ohio river,
and thence to Kentucky, where he was going
to teach school. -
‘.‘ Toward morning, when it was about
time to go, I said to him, ‘ Blaine, will you
give me as much as you are going to give
that nigger boy to carry your bag down to
the station?’ ‘ Yes,’ said Blaine, ‘ I will give
you just the same if you will carry the bag.’
‘ How much are you going to give the nig-
ger?’ ‘I was going to give him a levy.’
‘ All right, I will carry the bag for the levy.’
“ When we went up to Mr. Blaine’s house,”
says Mr. Montgomery, “Blaine knew Law-
rence, of course. They sat down and talked
a considerable time about this man and that,
never having met in twenty-nine years.
Finally I said,‘ Mr. Blaine, I am glad to have
brought you two gentlemen together,because
I want to see an ancient subject of complaint
between you settled.’ Blaine looked around
for a minute, when his eyes flashed and he
said, ‘Bill, I ought to have given you a quar-
ter instead of a levy for carrying that bag
down for me.’ ”

Compressed Air as a Motor.
The Peoples Passenger railway company
will soon begin an extensive series of experi-
ments with a compressed air motor, with the
view of introducing this new system on each
of its lines if satisfactory results are reached.
A single car is being fitted with machinery to
test the_ability of the motor to perform its
work. If the car runs properly, ten others
will be supplied with engines and a thorough
test made for efficiency and economy. This
system has been in use for ten years in
Nantes, France, but when an attempt was
recently made to introduce it in Paris the cm-
nibus companies successfully opposed the in-
novation. It is the invention of a French-
man named L. McKarski. The motor can be
attached to cars as built at present with little
difficulty. The engine and battery of sixteen
cylinders,lo contain compressed air will be
underneath the car, while on‘the front plat-
form the engineer and machinery for con-
trolling the car will be placed. The Cylinders
will be charged with 100 cubic feet of air
compressed to the density of 30 atmospheres
a pressure of 450 pounds to the square inch.
in transmission to the engine the air will be
passed through hot water, which will further
increase its pressure. The engineer by means
of a gauge can control the pressure applied to
the pistlnqod, which will be about that of
steam in ordinary running. A speed of
twer t y miles an hour canibe obtained from
the engines, which is designed to run seven
miles before the cylinders will need recharg-
ing. The engine now being built at the
Philadelphia hydraulic works of compressing
air is of an entirely new pattern and unusual-
ly strong. A merit claimed for the new
motor is that it does nut require an cxpcr-
ienced engineer to run it. The representa-
tives of the patcntcc in this country expect
to accomplish wonderful results with the
motor, though mechanical engineer think it
will not: be able to work in winter over a truck
covered with snow and ice.——Pln'la:lelph la

NORWALK, CONN., Fall season of ’81.
To the Farmers of Fairfield and Litchfield
Counties .-
GENTLEMEN; I desire to call your atten—
tion to the fact that I shall have this Fall the
largest stock of dry lumber ever offered in
this vicinity. Of barn. covering I have now
on the Erie canal, and due here by the 201h
of this month, 250 thousand feet of 10-inch
boards, dressed and matched in the finest mill
in the world.
I am also shipping from Bay City, Michi—
gan, 225 thousand feet of narrow barn cover-
ing. This will be planed two sides, matched
in the middle of the edge so as to turn either
side out, and for onion and tobacco barns
will be unsurpassed. This lumber is all of
the cut of 1880, is dry, sound knotted, and
with little or no sap, being manufactured
from stock boards. I am receiving and sell-
ing as they arrive the shingles from two mills
to wit: The T. H. McGraw’db Co. and} E.
J. Hill brands. Of each of theseI have sold
during the past few years several millions,
am thoroughly acquainted with them, and
can guarantee them as unexcelled by any
shingle in the state of Michigan. The him
her is soft, free from shake, the shingles are
honestly made, and I will warrant them to
cover 140 feet to the thousand when laid 5
1—2 inches to the weather. I have not known
a case where they have not exceeded this.
I have also arranged for a full line of clear
dry 1 and 1 1-4 inch Spruce, 14 feet long, as
well as the ordinary length of 13 feet. In
all grades of lumber used in storing and cur-
ing onions I aim to keep fully supplied. Am
prepared to make special figures for ear load
lots of lumber for tobacco cases, either cut up
or simply surfaced two sides. In Spruce
timber, I keep aqu assortment of all usual
sizes, from 2:3 to 8x8 and 6x10 up to about
40 feet in length.
Gentlemen, There is no doubt about the
fact that a person can sometimes go into the
wholesale market and buy dry lumber, but
as a general rule the way to get it is to buy it,
take good care of it, and season it. However
unpleasant it may be to carry a years stock,
it is the only way I can find to give my cus—
tomers what they want. It is what I have
done for three years, and what I shall con-
tinue to do so long as my trade will justify it.
In all grades of finishing lumber I offer
stock of Pine, Spruce, Hemlock, Ash, Black
Walnut, Cherry, V‘Vhitewood, and Southern
Pine, from one to three years old.
I will deliver lumber promptly anywhere
that customers will pay for taking it, by rail,
team or vessel, and my facilities for so doing
are as perfect as I desire. Nine-tenths of my
lumber I buy from the man who cuts. down
the tree. I get as near the producer as it is
possible to get, and-deliver the production to
my customers as low as is consistent with a
fair, reasonable profit to myself, to which I
am entitled. In this way ,I am enabled to
offer to the public every advantage of the
wholesale market as well as to reap some
benefit for myself , which I am free to say is
the primary object.
Inquiries in person or by correspondence
will be promptly attended to. Soliciting a
continuance of the patronage so liberally ex-
tended heretofore, I am respectfully yours
