On Last Monday Mr. H. E. Dann ind
evaluable horse badly hurt while being
conveyed from New York to Wilson’s
Point our the Iron Steamboat Co’s line.
Mr. Dann had just purchased the horse in
New York City paying nearly four hun-
dred dollars for him, and when delivered
to the care of the Steamboat Co. the ani-
mal was in good condition. Upon arrival at
Wilson Point, however, it was found that
the horse had a bruise on his leg nearly a
foot square, while an artery, in the leg
had been ruptured. Mr. Dann made in-
quiries of the captain to ascertain how the
injury was done so as to enable him to tell
what to do for the animal, but was met by
considerable blustcr and discourtesy and
a persistent dcnial'thut the horse had been
hurt upon the boat. Finding nothing to
be gained by further parley Mr. Dsnn had
the horse conveyed to his stable where
medical treatment is being used to reduce
the swelling and heal the ruptured artery.
We understand that Mr. Dunn will enter
suit against the Company but it seems to
us if the officers of the latter would be
more gentlemanly and courteous, the affair
might be amicably settled outside the
courts.

second profit. They claim to have sent
silks from this wonderful purchase into
every city and almost every town in the
state. Not least among the attractions of
this house is the complete upholstery

refer with pleasure to the bargains made
in raw silks, lace curtains, plushes, cre—
tounes and the various decorations pur-

The story told by a Westport corres-

twins of Wilton, was brought before him
charged with fast driving across the vil-
lage bridge,couldn’t accept testimony that
the accused was the actual transgrsssor,
because he looked so much like his
brother, brings to mind an incident in
which Captains Frederick, Franklin and
Francis Sherwood of this place, triplet
brothers, figured. It is known that in
their younger days they looked so much
alike that their mother often had to ask
which was which. And many times
abroad, strangers have labored under the
same difficulty as to their identity. On
one occasion the three happened to enter
the port of Charleston, S. C., with their
vessels on the same date. While in the
city, Captain Frederick went into a bar-
ber shop, was shaved, handed over his ten
cents. and walked out. Shortly after,
Captain Franklin entered, and seated
himself in the chair. The barber, in his
surprise and amazement, said : “Sir?
didn't I shave you a few minutes ago ?”
“Guess not,” was the reply. “My face
don’t look that way, does it?" Whereupon
the barber performed his work over again,
as he thought, and captain No.‘ 2 walked
out. While pondering over the circum-
stance and asking himself how he could
be so mistaken, Captain Francis appeared
on the scene. The barber [began to.look
frightened, fancying pcrchance that the
ghost of the two men he had just manip-
ulated had come to haunt him. Exactly
what remarks passed between the two
may not here be repeated, but it can be
said that it took a good deal of persuasive
power on the part of Captain Francis to
make the knight of the razor believe he
was not a spirit in disguise or a duplicate
of somebody else, and that there had been
no “shenanigan” in the premises.

In a former advertisement I spoke of the
remarkable cure of Col. 0. M. Ferris. I
asked Mr. F. (he lives neighbor to me) a
few days ago, to please write me a plain
short statement of hiscasc and cure. I
give it word for word over his signature.
"In 1875 I was taken sick with Dyspep-
sis and J aundice of the worst appearance
reducing my weight sixty younds. I suf-
fered about one year and a half. Every-
lhing was done that medical skill could
suggest. Finally a council of doctors was
held. Two declared my case indescriba-
ble. the others gave me the benefit of
doubts. Then I waspersuaded to take Dr.
Howc’s medicine, after taking two or
three bottles. I was entirely cured, and
have been a well man for over six years.

Norwalk, April 10, 1583.
Mr. David Platt. builder, says: "was
sick two years with what the doctors
called ulceration of the spleen, had almost
given up when I saw Dr. Howe and tried
his medicine; it cured me; I owe my life
to it.”
Miss Cells Starr. of Norwalk says: “I
had Kidney and Lung trouble and Dyspep-
sir: could not eat or sleep; could not
walk without help ; had paid out over $800
to doctors without receiving any benefit
A friend sent Dr. Howe to me; I took his
medicine and am now able to walk all
about town.and am a new person.”

-I have been -,cngaged in the

about six months and selling at
wholesale only,but now. through
the urgent request of many
friends I have opened a candy
department in my Store, where I
shall sell at wholesan and getail,
Confectionery in every variety of
my own manufacture, which I
will guarantee pure and unadul-
terated. Not as cheap as some
sell it in Town, but as reason~
able asPure Sugar Candy can be
sold. People do not realize the
depraved character of some of
the Candy sold throughout this
country. Much of it is made out
of term alba or white clay with
enough gum to stick it together.
enough sugar to sweeten it, and
enough coloring matter to make
it look gay.
