The Work on Wall Street Goes Mer- rily On. Wall street is not at present in a condition that is altogether satisfac tory to owners of teams who drive over it, but there is comparatively little fault finding, the fact being recognized that Engineer Chas. N. Wood and the Messrs. Cain & Kinnear are pushing the improvements along as rapidly as possible. There is aside from getting the sur- face of the street in readiness for the laying of the brick much detail work, which includes the changing of gas mains, and telegraph poles and outlets for surface water, etc., all of which takes time to be done properly. The cement foundation has yet one more day to “set,” according to the contract, before the bricks are laid. As soon as the brick laying is commenced, it will not be many hours thereafter, before the portion of the street now torn up will be repaved, that is from the railroad tunnel bridge to Main street. The continuation of work from the latter point to Knightstreet will be proceeded with in as rapid a manner as is consistent with good work. The building of the retaining wall at the east end of the bridge has been sub— let to Francis Leonard who has placed Contractor Lawlor in charge. ' A large Sluiceway for the carrying off of surface water at a point near the west end of the bridge has been made, and from present indications the entire work will be to the satisfaction and convenience of all concerned. Convention is Closed. The annual Universalist state con- vention which has been in session in Stamford for two days, adjourned yes- terday afternoon. Yesterday’s sessions were devoted to business anddiscus- sion. Numerous reports of a routine characterwere presented and discussed. Perhaps the most important business was the adoption of constitutional amendment, the chief feature of which is a clause permitting the convention to hold property valued at $250,000. A lively discussion took place upon the quest-ion involving the adoption of a creed. There was astrong sentiment against the adoption of any creed and no action was taken. The election of officers for the ensu— ing year resulted as follows: President, Rev. W. S. Perkins, of Mcriden; vice; president, C. J. Lincoln, of Hartford; secretary, Rev. E. M. Grant of Stami ford; treasurer, Herman Hess of Meri- den; trustee, J. T. Bates of Danbury; preacher of occasional sermons, Rev. M. Crossley of Norwich; alternate, Rev. F. A. Dillingham of Bridgeport; delegates to general convention, Rev. F. W. Perkins of Hartford, Mrs. E. M. Grant of Stamford, and A. L. Ellis of Hartford; committee on fellowship, 01.- dinance and discipline, Rev. F. W. Perkins of Hartford, Rev. J. Smith Dodge of Stamford, and, Theodore Lamb of Stamford. This latter committee will choose the date and place for the next convention. -———————-<o.o>-——-———— Mr. Olmstead’s Condition Unchanged. The condition of Hon. James H.

Brandretliis Pills The difference between these pills and all other medicines is told in the following statement of facts: Ist. They have been in active demand in the markets of the world since 1770, or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. ' 2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest class drugs obtainable. 3d. They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure. 4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose will always produce the same effect. This cannot truthfully be said of any other medicine. There are others who claim it. but demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS. 5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very acid condition, and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience. 6th. One pill taken after u heavy meal will relieve distress immediately. 7th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of sarsa— parilla that can be made. Itis highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparllla than a. dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in. the market. 8th. instance. 9th.. One or two. taken every night. will cure rheumatism in almost every P was» ~mm- . ..

They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful'color, your eye a brilliant lustre. and sallowness and pimples will disappear. 11th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give Children and women in delicate health. 12th. One pill is usually sufficient. - No medicine is made with Such infinite care as BRANDRETH'S _PILLS '—no medicine but BRANDRETH'S PILLS is kept for TWO YEARS before they are boxed to be Suld. 3 3th. a """*'-u: _-"‘l | .I""‘u aw." - - .1}. ,,‘~ Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from four to eight pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave that organ in a perfectly healthy state. and when your liver is right your blood is pure, and you are well. Don't bully your liver with powerful mediCine, but coax it with BRANDRETH'S PILLS. 14th. BRANDRETH’S PILLS are sold throughout the world, with and without sugar coating.
