Mr. Charles M. Abbott died last Tuesday
evening aged 27% years. He fell before the
might of that dire disease, consumption. In
his youth he was very robust, and seemed fit-
ted physically for a long life. He had ex-
cellent business qualities, and was very suc-
cessful as a clerk in a large hardware house
in New York city. He had a prospect of
soon becoming a member of the firm. Dis—
ease seized him, and for two years he battled
manfully with its might. All endeavors to
regain health were vain. He died in his
early prime at the house of his father, Dea-
con T. M. Abbott. He had been for many
years a member of the church of Christ. In
his last days his spiritual hope was very
bright, and his peace was like a river. He
was ready to depart and be with his Saviour:

gational church, last Friday afternoon, Rev.

V/ESTPORT.
Occurring on the 24th, much earlier than
usual in November, will render the old-time
New England Thanksgiving anniversary one
of great desirability. Last year it was ush—
ered in with snow, a decided wintry charac—
tor being thus imparted filo it. What the
people in the country hope for, and may this
year get is, a clear, cold day—one in which
a solid dinner can be enjoyed and after It 3
walk with overcoats and gloves it may be,
or a social gathering at which only guesses
as to freezing and sleighing may arise.
Social warmth is as much needed at this
season as that from coal fires, and our num-
erous visitors from city and elsewhere here
who will come to us will bring their share of
the onefirecclvlng cordially of the same in
return, with true hospitality added.

Capt. Alfred Taylor, of Poplar Plains—the
oldest male citizen in town, and his wife,have
recently been quite ill.
As showing how easily people may be
made victims of adventures, the incident is
cited of a party, hailing, as is claimed from
Norwalk, who last week sold butter fromSa
wagon at 85 cents a pound, when the same
article could have been had of village grocers
at 30 cents.

What Kills.
In the school,as iurthe world, far more
rust out than wear out. Study is most tedi-
ous and wearisomc to those who study least.
Drones always have the hardest time.
Grumblcrs make poor scholars, and their
lessons are uniformly “ hard and too long."
The time and thought expended in shirking
would be ample to master their tasks. Sloth,
gormandizing and worry kill their thousands
Where over study harms one. A curse rests
on laziness and gluttony. By the very cou-
stitution of our being they are fitted to beget
that torporzaud despondency which chill the
blood, deaden the nerves, enfceble the mus-
cles and derange the whole vital machinery.
Fretting, fidgcting. ennui and anxiety are
among the most common of causes of dis-
ease. On the other hand, high aspirations
and enthusiasm help digestion and respira-
tion, and send in an increased supply of
vital energy to all parts of the body. Cour-
age and work invigorate the whole system,
and lift one into purer atmosphere, above
the reach of contagion. The lazy groan
most over their “arduous duties,” while
earnest workers talk little about the exhaust-
ing labors of their profession. Of all crea-
tures the sloth would seem to be the most
worried and worn—Tim Sanalarz‘an.

There are more ways than one to keep a
husband home evening. The wife might
put up a cask of beer in one corner of the

hire two or three dirty follows to fill the

woman with any sort of tact can make home
as happy and cheerful as a beer saloon.—

The Dime Novel Mania.
A BAD TRAGEDY IN SPRINGFIELD, mass.
SPRINGFIELD, November 15.——The dime
novel mania was the cause of a fearful trag-
edy this afternoon, James Morrisscy, aged
16, being shot dead by Frederick Markham,
one of his companions. The two boys in
company with a third, John Brennan, thor-
oughly imbued with the Bufifalo Bill spirit
from constantly reading dime novels, cheap
story papers, and an occasional visit to the
opera house to witness some blood-curdling
play, were engaged in miniature gambling
at Markham’s house in border style. They
had extemporized money out of bits of paper.
Morrissey had two shoe horns for revolvers
and Markham had resurrected a rusty revo-
lutionary revolver belonging to his father,
which lay on the table beside him. Finally
Morrissey shouted that the other two were
cheating and that he “ had got the drop " on
them,at the same time raising 'hissboe horns.
Markham spurned the imputation and rais-
ing his revolver fired, “ not. knowing it was
loaded " and Morrissey fell mortally wound-
ed. One of the boys ran fora doctor and
the other for the priest, and on their return
were arrested. Not having time to unite
upon ;a story, they each separately gave an
account of the affair in accordance with the
above facts. The shooting occurred about
four o’clock and at five o’clock Morrissey
was dead. The affair has created great ex-
citement.

Who Backed Out,
A few days ago, says the Lewiston Jour-
nal, there came into the Auburn city clerk's
ofilco, a seedy-looking old gentleman in
soiled and rusty garments, and with a shag-
gy, unkempt gray beard. He was apparent-
ly about sixty-five years old. He bashfully
approached the deputy clerk, and after much
circumlocution, announced that he wanted
to publish his intention of marriage. The
clerk recorded the names of the contracting
parties, and he paid the fee. “ Has that got
to go into the newspaper ? ” he asked. “ Yes
sir," said the clerk. “Can’t yer keep it
out?” “I don’t know how I can.” “ Well,
Idon’t want it put in the newspaper, I’ve
been married once before. My poor wife
died. I don’t believe in marryin’ twice——
sartin, I don’t think I ought to marry. But
I’m goin’ on to my three score and ten. I
need some one to take care of me and take
care of the cows. But that! I don’t kcer so
much for myself, but the woman—poor
young thing! 'Twould make her feel bad to
have it put in the paper.” And the old man
drew his coat sleeve under his nose and
heaved a sigh. “How old is your intended ?”
asked the clerk. “She’s forty-five.” “Is
she smart?” “She's terrible smart—tends
four looms in the mill.” “Well, guess you’ll
have to see the newspaper folks,” said the
clerk. The same old gentleman, with a
very red face, appeared in the Journal office
two hours later. Said he: “ I got my inten-
tions of marriage published in Auburn this
mornin’, but don’t put ’em in, for I’ve backed
out. I guess I won’t get married. I‘ve been
over and told ’em to scratch it out.” An
inquiry at the clerk’s ofilce revealed that the
old Egentleman had cancelled the intention
and returned the certificate, as he stated.
Whether it was he or the other party that
backed out is not so easily ascertained. Per-
haps the venerable beau was the victim of a
heartless flirt. Poor old maul Who will
take care of his cows?

Man’s In gratitude.
This is an ungrateful world to say the least.
A man will act like a lunatic when he has the
itching piles, and declare that he knows he
can’t live another day,yet he applies Swayne‘s
Ointment, the intense itching is allayed at
once, he gets cured, and goes down to the
lodge without one whit of gratitude. When
asked why he looks so cheerful, he dod es
the question by an indifferent answer. ts
just like a man though, isn’tit ? 4t46

The policeman has a very keen mind. He
can apprehend the most difficult subject, and
these subjects are most apprehensive of his
approach. The policeman, we are sorry to
say, has very bad associations. He is always
running after bad company. There are a
number of men on the police and each one‘
has a number. The policeman is sometimes
called charley. He always has his billy with
him. The two are bound together by the
strongest tie. The policeman is renowned for
a hilly tie. The policeman is not given to
literature, but has a pistol-ary correspondence
with dangerous classes sometimes. He is a
measure of public policy! Whats hould we
do without the public police ? Sec ? The
policeman is not a deep thinker. He does not
cndgel his brains over abstruse problems.
He uses somebody else’s brains when he cud-
gels.—Boslon Transcript.

The increase of intemperance among the
subjects of the_Czar of Russia had led that
monarch to consider several projects for en-
forcing reform. The scheme favored by his
councilors, and which is likely ,to become a
aw, is one proposed by General Ignatieff
and is based upon the Swedish plan. There
is to be only one drinking place in a village
and there may be only one or two or three
adjacent villages. The keepers, who are to
be selected with care, are to be salaried, and
derive no profit from the sale of drink.
Spirits can be retailcd only by the glassful,
none being allowed to be taken off in hot-
tles. Food and non-intoxicating drinks are
to be supplied, and if any district is special-
ly drunken the sale of liquor may be entire-
ly prohibited. The communal authorities
are to be held responsible for the prosocu-
tion of both drunkards and illegal sellers.
.Aside from the radical nature of the pro.
posed reform, it is signifiant as indicating
a change of imperial policy. Heretofore all
attempts at temperance reform in Russia
have been suppressed by governme .much
of whose revenue is derived from the drink-
ing shops.

A wcndcrfnl and speedy cure of Mrs. Fan. of

through t c mediumistic power of Dr. Fiskc,
In consideration of whom it may concern, I
hereby certify this testimonial-non true sworn
statement of the facts concernin ' my cure, made
by S. W. Flake, clairvoyant 1’ ysiciau of Nor-
wich, and oflicc at 270 Chapel street‘, New Haven.
I hereby certify that I have been sick—unable
to work for the past ten years. During all of this
time I have been treated by several physicians
without any permanent benefit. After giving up
all hopes of recovery, I received a letter from a
lady in Bridgeport stating what a wonderful cure
Dr. Flake had. made for her; advising me to ap—
ply fo him for relief, us she thought her difficul-
ties were similar to mine. I called on the Doctor
and found him to be a congenial gentleman. and
requested him to make a clairvoyant examina-
tion of my health, which he did fully. explaining
all of my diseases at sight to my entire satisfac-
tion. I 111111 a-complieation of diseases an out me
—almost cycrytning uiled me—which made my
life very miserable.
1 had a paralyzed throat for several years,
which was_so bad that I could not swallow any-
thing but liquids, and _ sometimes I would be fif-
teenlminutcs swallowmg one tcaspoontul. It was
almost impossible to swiillow anytliingmytliroat
was so paralyzed, It seemed sometimes as if' I
should starve.
In less than fifteen minutes after the Doctor
laid his hands on my throat I drank half a turn
bler of water to the astonishment of myself and
husband. I then put myself under his new method
of‘ treatment which was entirely new to me. I

earcd in 1 rec days. I was so bloated With water
in_my system that I was hardly able to .walk.
After ta ingfour magnetic treatments and one
month’s medicinc,I found to my surprise I had
removed twenty pounds of blqat and water,
which leaves me now my natural srzc and weight.
For several years 1 was completely prostrutcd
With nervous weakness, which caused me a. great
deal of pain and suffering in my bowels and back.

cured and free from pain, and have not bech
troubled since with this dilllculty. I was also
cured of Onltlfgelllcllt 01' the liver, my kidne a

was impossible fut-me to keep my feet still. I

cases and I now feel like a new person in every

guage to express my gratitude to the Doctor for
the astonishing cure he has made for me in only
a few weeks time.
_Th15 is a true sworn statement which I freely

NORWALK, CONN., Fall season of ’81.
To the Farmers of Fairfield and Lz'tchficld
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 ham covering I have now
on the Erie canal, and due here by the 201k
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 85 Co. and; E.
J. Hill brands. 0f each of these I 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 lum
bar is soft, free from shake, the shingles arc
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 a full assortment of all usual
sizes, from 2x3 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 moo will justify it.
In all grades of finishing lumber I offer
stock of Pine, Spruce, Hemlock, Ash, Black
Walnut, Cherry, Whitewood, 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
the tree. I got 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
