“The Hindoo widow,” chants the Boston
Transcript, “is the only one that cremains-
The others rcmatc.” A lady afflicted with a
genuine and nauseating case of catarrh,
whether she is single or married, probably
longs for cremation (of the disease, if not of
her person). The sickening, revolting, breath,
foul discharges, racking pains and other
characteristics of Catarrh, render life a bur-
den. Ely’s Cream Balm is a reliable, frag-
rant, yet certain curc for all such cases.
This balm is out a liquid or snuff, and is
ea~iiy applied. “My head and throat ached
so scvcly, from Cuturrh," said Major Downs,
Military Instructor, Mt. Pltasant Academy,
Sing Sing, N. Y , “thatI was obliged to give
up everything and keep quiet. Ely’s Cream
Balm cured me.” This exquisite preparation
will cure any case of Catarrh. 50 cents. 2t14

WESTPOR’I‘.
The annual meeting of Christ church pur-
intcresting ever _held by \tlmt organization.
Opinions was given.
to diversity of thought on any subject, it
was over-ridden by sober judgment which
men who are met to transact important and
father unusual business should, though they
do not always exhibit. After rc-electing the
old board of wardens and vestry, 'Mr. H. E.
Sherwood as assistant treasurer, and Messrs.
E. H. and A. C. Nash :delegates to the Dio-
ccsan convention which meets in New
Haven, June 11th, informal action was taken
relativc_to removing the church from its
present site. Mr. E, II. Nash renewed the
$10,000 in cash, and a free gift of land if a
new church is built, and he dispelled doubt,
if any existed, of his expectation to defray
ullcxpcnscs of moving the church should
the parish decide by vote to have it moved.
Estimates were made as to what it would
cost to lay foundations; build a basement,
and fix the church up in modern style.
Some members were inclined to set more
value on,,associations surrounding the old
church, than could possibly appear from a
money stand point in ajncw cdificc no matter
how costly. Standing on a bill, they said,
the church ‘,is now conspicuous. Though
not graceful, or artistically beautiful now,
transfer it to a valley, it would be seen less
so, and would also look squatty despite much
money spent to produce a contrary effect.
Suggestions as to what material should be
used, whether ,wooddfistone: or brick, ,were
offered. There was talk of remodelling the
church without moving it, and of moving it
and erecting one of ,brick on the same site.
It was understood that the proposed church
if built, must be completed within twelve
months. Another. and the final meeting will
be held April;:9th. .

employ.Towards night he went to New York
. reached there safely and rode in a car down
3d Avenue to 37th street. He had a fowling
piece with him, and at destination he jumped
from the car not waiting for it to stop. In
doing so he received a blow from the gun
and strained some of his muscles. At that
instant a sharp pain was felt by him in the
region of the lungs, and soon after entering
his house he had a hemorrhage, from the
efiects of which he has been suffering ever
since. His condition, critical fora time was,
at last accounts improving.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bradley reached
home Wednesday after an extended and
pleasant bridal tour. Hearing of the cir-
cumstance, their musical friends visited the
house of Mr. Jessie Bradley, where the happy
couple were stopping, and prepared to give
them an old fashioned “calithumplan” sere-
nade, but were deterred from carrying it out
by reason of the serious illness of a near
neighbor. Their good will was taken for the
deed. An invitation to the hospitalities of
the mansion was accepted, and the style in
which most of them got away with miscella-
neous wedding and frosted cake was acaution
to such as contemplate matrimony.
Friday evening, a horse belonging to W.
R. Macready took fright while in front of
the house of Mr. Eli Bradley, turned sudden-
ly throwing Mr. Bradley’s daughter from the
vehicle to the ground, seriously injuring
her, run, turned E. S. Wheeler‘s corner,
dashed across the Carriage bridge, down
Compo street, over the railroad track, and
brought up finull y against the gate posts at
the entrance of Mr. Alex. Lawrence’s premi-
ses. The carriage was wrecked and the
horse seriously out.
At a meeting held Saturday, the directors
of the Westport and Saugatuck Horse R. Ii.
company did what they have had in contam-
plation for more than a year—reduction of
fares. Hence-forth $1 will buy 20 tickets,
50 cents will buy 10 tickets, and the regular
fare will has cents instead of 10. This will
be acceptable to the public, who have felt
that 10 cents is too much fora single trip,
especially when some are allowed to ride for
5 cents. PAUL.
