BY J. KATE LUDLUM.
Five years ago I lived with Aunt Mar-
garet Stuart, for both of my parents were
dead, and I, a g'u’l of eighteen, was left an
orphan in the cold world. It was then
Aunt Margaret, pnpu's only sister, sent
word for me to go and live with her in
the country, far from all I loved or cared
for. .
I think my aunt meant to be kind, but
she was old and gray haired, and must
have forgotten that she was ever young,
and merry, and fun-loving, for laughter
was a thing seldom heard through the
large, gloomy rooms,—rooms that might
have been homclike and sunny if ever the
heavy curtains could have been drawn
apart to let in the glowing light of the
beautiful days. But, alas, for me! never
a ray of sunshine must be admitted to
fade the rich carpets and curtains and pic-
tures. ’ ’
After the first. week, my laughter, too,
had died away; and I had learned that
sunshine, and music, and mirth must be
We lived far away from
anyone. Mr. Coylc,s, our nearést neigh-
bors, was a mile distant, and might as well
have been fifty for all Aunt Margaret
would have cared, for he was her “bitter—
est cncmy,”shc told me. The nearest
town was not less than ten miles, and very
few houses in between, as the wide dark
forests rose densely on both- sides of the
' winding road.
Well, Aunt Margaret and I got along to-
gether as well as could he expected of a
quiet, silent, dark woman, and a young,
light-hearted girl.
We had only one servant, an old woman
whose face was dark as ever a colored per-
son's could be ;. but whose heart was
whiter than many a beautiful woman's!
Dear, old Aunt Dinah! how often have I
been pettcd by her when my heart has
been too full for fears after one of my
aunt’s lectures on my carelessness.
"Aunt- Dinah!" I cried, one day, after I
had received an unusually long lecture for
having “wasted" a piece of meat by give
ing it to a poor, gaunt, lame dog that had
limped pitifully up to the door in the
snow, “Aunt Dinah l was Aunt Margaret
.mer young, or pitiful, or merry? Has
she always been cold and silent and unlov-
ing? Has this great house been forever
shut up and gloomy? If only my parents
had lived!"
I wish I could dbscribc the beautiful,
gentle-look that came over her dark face,
as she laid her rough toil-worn hand on"
my head, and answered my passionate
outbreak. -
“Honey! honey! (lat am no way to
speak ob Miss Stuart. ’Memher Miss
Daisy, dat she am yo’ aunt. Besides, chile,
she has had mo’ trouble than yo’d ever
dream ob. She am quar sometimes, but,
life leaves us all mo’ silent dan we be in
chilchood. So don’ min‘ what yo‘ aunt
say, but be kin’ to her, and dc Good God’ll
brcss yo’ !"
Someway Aunt Dinah always brought
me back to my right mind, and I was
more gentle to Aunt Margaret after that,
and she really seemed to grow to like me
a little.
Winter had settled in cold, and white
and beautiful.
Visitors seldom came near us, and those
few hardly dared 'say much; so my life
went on quiet and uneventful.
Christmas eve set slowly in over the
snowy hills and meadows, and long shad-
ows crept from the dark forests, and at
last settled darkly over the house. The
beautifulsunsct wavered and died out, and
night was come. '
Aunt Margaret, for the first time since
I had known her, complained all day of
not feeling well. .
“Such a queer feeling in her head," she
said; “and her side pained sharply 1”
So we all decided she must have taken
cold, and Dinah fixed some hot drinks for
her before she went to bed.
She always had slept at the end of a
long ball that ran‘through the center of
the second floor; and I at the other end,
in the coziest. prettiest room in the house
where, despite my aunt’s contempt, I had
flowers, and birds, and warm crimson cur-
tains drawn aside from the great western
window, and a Wide open fireplace, where
the blazing logs crackled and blazed over
the delicate brown carpet, and warm col-
ored rugs, and soft, easy chairs and books
and pictures. .
Such a contrast as it was to Aunt Mar-
garet’s dark, gloomy room with close-shut
windows, dark stove, and heavy, old-fash-
ioned furniture.
Aunt spoke of retiring long before the
lamps were lighted; and, somehow, not
liking to think of her going up to that
dark room, I arose with her, and asked
her to sleep with me that night.
She refused at first, but perhaps the
knowledge of how lonely her room would
be if she was sick, struck her. Anyway,
she went up with me to my‘ room.
“.‘Why, Margaret.” 'she said, ignoring
the dainty Marguerite, or Daisy—“ how
pleasant this is I" And I have always re-
membered her words with pleasure. We
had but just reached my room, however,
when she was taken with such severe
pains in her'side that she groaned aloud,
and I had to call Dinah to help me get her
to bed. Mustard plasters, hot water, and
every rule was tried, but did no good; in
fact she seemed to grow worse. ‘
At last. I could stand it no longer; and
calling Dinah out into the hall, I told her
my intention. “But, chilc.” she whisper-
cd low, “you can’t go! Lo’or! its ten
miles, if its a step; an’p’raps yo’d only
fin’ him off. Why not go to Massa Coyle?
Yo'r aunt’d forgive yo’- ariewar‘ds, an’
young Harry’d go lhar fo' yo’-—blcss his
kin’ heart 1” ' .
“No," I answered, decrdedly; “1!! go
myself? Dr. Hartwell must be home;
but even if he isn’t, Walter Swift always
is. I'll go out and harness Kittie, but
don’t let Aunt Margaret know."
When I came in from the. barn to tell
her I was off she came hurrying 'down
the stairs to meet. me. , “Mis’ Daisy,” she
said her voice trembling,“yo“mustn’t go!
‘ I heard dis morn'in’, dat Joe Green saw an
ole gray wolf in do woods ’twecn here an’
town. Masaa Harry’d be only too glad to
do anything fo’ yo’ pretty self. Let me
go ask him, if yo’ won’t!”
“No, Aunt Dinah,” I replied quietly,
though my heart did stand still just one
second; “I’m not at all afraid. But if
you’ll find aunt's revolver, I’ll take that
in case anything happens.”
I actually had to run away from her,
she was so determined Ishould not go.
Kittie stood by the barn patiently pawing
the snow and tossing her black head
proudly. Tucking the long~furred white
robe around me, pushing the wayward
little curls under my'seal-skin cap, and
taking up the reins, the bonnie little
black pony and 'I were soon flying over
the shining white road towards the ‘town,
the bells filling the clear air with music.
Evon though I was anxious about my
aunt, yet it was- impossible not to enjoy
the ride. The great moon came up ahead
of us filling the whole scene with a golden
flood of light, and the glowing stars shone
like diamonds in the clear, frosty air.
Kittie hadn’t been driven at all that week,
so she raced along, tossing her head and
sending out an accompaniment of joyous
silver music from the bells. Now and
then, at long intervals, after we left the.
' Volume LXXXIII.
woods behind us,a twinkling light ap-
peared from some tiny wayside house;
Dr. Hartwell’s door, amid a clash and jan-
glc of Kittic‘s bells. .
As fate would have it, neither the doc-
tor nor his assistant was in; and I had to
wait what seemed to me an interminable
time. Then it was not the doctor, but
Walter Swift who came. He would not
like to go, he said, as most likely it was a
dangerous attack of pneumonia, and he
would not like to attempt a case’as he had
but just begun to learn. He was only a
boy, I knew, not more than nineteen or
twenty, but I must own I was indignant
at him. However, I replied that I could
wait no longer, but would go. if he would
promise to send Dr. Hartwell on, as soon
as he returned. He promised. and I went
out to Kittie, who was very impaticnt at
the delay.
’ We were soon flying. back along the
gleaming road, the moon high up the
heavens. The reins lay loosely over Kit-
lic's back, for she was in no mood to be
held in check; besides I didn’t care to.
The rush of the wind past. my face, the
clicking of thepony's feet together. with
the tinkling bclls, just suited my humor.
Soon we left the gleaming lights in the
windows far behind us,and we entered
the wooded road. We had not gone far
before happening to turn my head, I saw
following us at a swift run, a great dark
figure that came on with long swinging
leaps. _
The reins over the pony’s back grew
tight, and I felt for the rcvolvcr Dinah
had given me. Where had it gone ?
Well, I didn’t know, but it was certain I
could not find it! What shdhld I do?
Yes, the great form following us must be
the wolf Aunt Dinah spoke of!
Kittie was almost on a run then, but it
seemed as though we crept, for, as I turn‘
ed to look again, the animal was slowly
nearing us ! On we went, the horror of it
all swooping over me, in hot flashes. We
could not have been more" than half way
home, and the fierce, wild breast gaining
steadily l -
The terror seemed to reach Kittie for
she sped on, the bolls ringing mockingly
in'our cars. If I could only find that re-
volver! How dark the road was getting!
Why, it must be getting very late! Oh,
wh'y wasn't Dr. Hartwell home so he could
have come with me! If I had only let
Dinah go for Harry Coyle—and, yet no;
I was glad I hadn’t. Was aunt Margaret
worse—suppose she should be— No, I
wouldn’t think of that.
How the trees and ghostly snow banks
ficw past! Surely the wolf could not gain
on us at that rate! But when I looked
back, there he was, so near I could dis-
tinguish his ldng, gaunt form! What
leaps he took! Kittie was rushing along
madly, but I leaned cvcr andjtook thefislen-
der whip from its socket. "‘Now, my
lady!” I said, my lips stiff with fright,
my heart throbbing so loudly I could al-
most hear it above the sound of the bells
and horse—hoofs. ‘ ’
At the first flick of the whip the pony
tossed her headland dashedahcad wildly,
while I held the lines in hands that were
hardeuing to steel. The soft-footed ani-
mal behind came tearing on with great
noiseless bounds that brought it slowly
but surely nearer.
Ah! we were coming nearer the open
'road now, for the trees grew farther and
farther apart, while the moonlight strug-
glcd through in a weird fashion. We
must be nearing home, too; at the pace
we were going it could not be far
away. 1 took out my watch with cold,
stiff fingers and tried to see the time.‘
Half-past nine! How long I must have
waited at the doctor's! Oh, if that boy
had not been so stupid! If I were a doc-
tor I wouldn’t have such an assistant!
Just then the wolf sprang so near that I
caught the gleam of its eyes and teeth,and
with a faint shriek I raised the whip and
brought it down heavily on Kittic’s back.
With a shrill snort of anger and terror
she bounded {forward, dashed into an ap-
proaching sleigh which I had not seen,
and the sleigh turning over I was dum’pcd
unceremoniously into a snow-drift.
The next thing I remember was that I
was sitting in the sleigh, somebody hold-
ing me in strong, tender arms, while the
dark, good-looking face of Harry Coylc
was heading over me.
“Oh, you poor little girl you !"hc cried,
drawing the robes close up around me.
Why didn’t you let me know your aunt
was sick ? What was the reason of your
chasing off all alone at this hour of the
night, when all sensible young ladies
should be safe at homc ? Oh, you foolish
little darling! did you imagine because
we had a 111th fight all by ourselves, that
I would never come near you again ? My
little French Daisy, where is your trust-
ing heart 1’" ,
“But, Harry,” I faltered, nestling close
to him—for we had been engaged two
weeks without my aunt’s knowledge—
“how did you come here, and where is
the wolf ?" shuddering at the more thought-
“Wolf—what wolf i’" he inquired in sur-
prise. I saw no wolf ! All 1 did see was
a flying black pony and a naughty little
girl beating hcr unmercifully, while poor
old Bruno—" .
“ Who .9” I actually shouted, sitting very
straight in my surprise.
“Bruno,” Harry repeated,—“Dr. Hart—
well’s stray lame dog, he has been nursing
for a broken leg. What’s the matter with
you, Daisy ?" for I had burst into a merry
ringing pen! of laughter.
"A dog 1” I managed to articulate after
a while. “Oh, Harry, I thought it was
the wolf Joe Green saw in the woods, and
I—”
It was his turn now, to laugh.
“Oh, you naughty girl! so you did get
punished for running . of! like that? It
was only the doctor's dog. Dr. Hartwell
passed just as you were thrown. He
stopped, but I told him to go on directly
to your aunt, I could attend to you. Kit-
tic broke away from the sleigh and ran for
home, so I had no alternative but to take
’you with me.” '
“But how did you know where I had
gone ?" I inquired curiously.
“Aunt Dinah, to be sure! Your aunt
dropped off asleep and she started to the
house, but as good luck/would have it, I
met her at thc‘gatc. So here I am 1".
Well, to make a long story short, when
and the dear old doctor brought her
through the sickness which followed; and
to-day aunt Margaret site over yonder,
Playing with my only child, the image of
his father, Harry Coylc. I cannot help
looking up with delight as I catch the
sound of the soft mellow laugh of her
who was once my grim, silent mirthless
aunt Margaret. And~ so ends my Advcn'
tare on Christmas Eve.

Upon the whole, how was you pleased
with Dcnvcr ? Did it meet your expecta-
tions? » How do you like the climate?
These and other similar questions are fre-
quently asked. In answer it may be well
to say, that we found Denver to be a'so-
cial placc, and where visitors may feel
perfectly at ease with their surroundings.
Instead of feeling as if in a land of
strangers, whose customs and sympathies
are all at variance with his own, one finds,
on the other hand, that he is right among
eastern people who have breathed the
same atmosphere with himself, pad who
have emigrated from the shores of New
England, or its vicinity—Hartford, New
Haven and Danbury are represented, and
of course, an introduction to such opens
themes for conversation. But it seemed
more like bringing us nearer home, when
we received calls from our former towns-
mcn George 0: Keelcr' of Norwalk, and
Mr. Andrews of South Norwalk. With
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews and family we had
the pleasure of taking an evening dinner
at their handsome rcsidcncc. ' ‘
As to the climate,“ is, as a general thing
much more uniform than on our eastern
shores. though at times the mercury in
winter takes a sudden freak and seems to
be making an effort to get out of sight.
One thing is very certain, and that is, the
chill of .the northeast storm is unknown
there. The rcsidénts of Denver look upon
a clear blue sky,and live in an atmosphere
unburdened with fog or miasma. It is
this which annihilatcs space, and tingea
the check'wilh the glow of health. The
elevation above sea level (5,200 feet) carries
it above the, regions of fog clouds. In
the summer and early autumn, rains are
seldom noticed, and during the time of
our visit last fall with the single exception
of a few moments, clear. and plaasant
.wcathcr prevailed, while at the same time.
the Denvcrdporning papers were filled'
with the accounts of destructive storms,
in almost all parts of the country, but,
more especially in the Middle and Eastern
States. In all our excursions there was
no necessity of making provisions against
storms. ' '
It was on the last week in September
when we took an excursion on the DEN-
vnn Jr. Rio Gannon RAILWAY, or as it is
designated Tm: Sonmo LINE or AMERICA.
This is another narrow guage road.‘ The
excursion is to Colorado Springs and
Manitou, and the fare for the round-trip,
75 miles each way is reduced to $2 per
ticket, on account of competition. a much
cheaper rate than on any of our eastern
roads. Colorado Springs being directly
south of Denver, the track-is nearly parab
lel with the mountain rauge,though keep-
ing about ten miles distant from it. The
hills at or near the base, are called the
foot hills, and .are objects of considerable
interest. The first point of special note;
is the car works of the Denver 85 Rio
Grande Railway, abcnt a mile and a half
from the city, and this being the first
stopping place, opportunity is afiorded of
Viewing this large factory, for on each
side of the railway are seen the running
works of cars put. together for use, when-'
ever necessity might require. But soon
we are passing the Exposition Builgngv
with its numerous towers from which nu'
merous flags are gaily flying. It takes
buta few moments more before we are
passing over the plains and through some.
excellent farm land. Everything is grow-
ing luxuriantly. Corn fields‘appear to be
in fine condition and ready for cutting
down, while stacks of hay and grain show
that there has been an abundant harvest.
These are the ranches! See the fields of
melons so- plenty that their market value
is but small. Does the reader say, Are
not these the same prairie lands which in
former numbers were described as so an-
productive? Why, then, is this little rib-
bon of land which is not more than 8 or
10 miles in width, and -=which lies at the
base of the mountains, so different in its
character? Irrigation by means of canals
and ditches, causes this change. The
whole of the Colorado prairies could be
brought to this productive state if water
could be had. _
While these ranches are not far distant
from each other, yet in some parts of the
prairie they are separated for‘miles. From
them the choicest productions come. and
in going to market, the prices are very
noticeable between those fruits and veget-
ables raised -hcre or elsewhere. Store
keepers know these points and know that
their customers will enquire for them, so
‘ that on entering a store, signs will be no-
ticed all over the store as Ranche Melons!
Rauche Eggs! RanchlLButter! Ranchc
Potatoes 1 .150. Every production is
bought and sold by weight; Let us go
into a store and enquire the-price of P0-
tatoes, and the .ansWer is — cents per lb. ,
or for Apples or Pears, — cents per lb.
The wheat raised on these ranches is of
the best quality. Being present one day
when a gentleman was exhibiting to some
friends a few heads of wheat which were
a sample of some raised on his ranche, we
were well satisfied that the Colorado lands
were capable of producing the finest crops.
As the train progresses, the Platte River
is seen near the railway flowing in a
northerly direction. An interest is attach-
able to this, because it is the river which
supplies Denver with. the city water. We
are now passing through the unfenced
plains, where herds of cattle or of horses
are grazing, and in almost every case one
or two men on horseback may be noticed.
These cow boys make a living by taking
these cows to and from pasture and by
watching them and keeping them closely
herded during the time they are pastur-
ing. -
Sedalia, 25 miles from the city, is quiteu
a flourishing and neat village, with its
stores, school houses and churches adjacent
to the depot. Leaving this stopping place,
several apparently large antihills, about
the size of a wheclbarrow load of earth,
are noticed. These are the burrows of the
little prairie dogs, and occasionally the ex-
clamation is made by the passengers, as
the train dashes on not far from them,
“There’s one!” and “'l‘hcre,s another 1”
In size these animals are about as large
as a cut, but with very short legs, having
heads like squirrels, but body like a foot-
ball, and in color resembling a rat. They
are frequently seen in the same position
as is a squirrel when eating nuts.
Castle Rock, 35 miles from D., is a sta-
tion, so called from a large rock resemb- '
ling an ancient castle, and which is near
the depot. Soon the foot-hills begin to
assume a wonderful beauty of scenery,
their gentle slopes frescoed with nature’s
verdure, of varieties of colors. The drab,
'colorcd grass resembling paths winding
fantastically around and through the low
shrubs of such bewitcbing form and color
that it would seem as if the skill of a land-
scape gardener had been put to the test in
laying out his beds of foliage plants to the
best advantage. The morning _ sun was
pouring forth his rays upon them, as mile
after mile, fresh varieties were exhibited,
at just the proper distance from the track
to lend enchantment to the scene.

Canaan.
A CENTURY AND A HALF.
1733—1883—The Congregldional Church, New
Canaan, Celebrates the One Hundred and
Fifiieth Year of its Existence.
The one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Congregational Church, New
Canaan, was celebrated in the church at
that place last Wednesday in the presence
of a large number of citizens from home
and abroad. The edifice was specially
adorned for the occasion. Flowers were
placed at every convenient, point, the
figures 1733 and 1883 in green leaves
appearing, but the pulpit and surround-
ings, especially that portion in which
stands the organ seemed like a very
bower. At 10:30 the chairman of the
day, Mr. A. B. Davenport, after remark-
ing that the past and the present are so
closely united that it is almost impossible
to separate them,spokc of the resemblance
of the site of this church to that on which
Solomon's Temple stood. Then followed
the tune “Old Hundred,” the congrega-
tion standing; invocation by Rev. Mr.
Ogden,of the Baptist Church; singing of
Hymn 339 to the tune “coronation”;
Scripture reading by Rev. Mr. Estes, ot‘
the M. E. Church ; prayer by Rev. S. B.
S. Bisscll; address of welcome by the
pastor of the church, Rev. Joseph Green-
leaf and response by Rev. Mr. Mcrwin, of
Wilton.
From the historical address by Rev. J.
following is of interest :—
Thc'drst parish meeting was held .' uly 1
1731. In 1732 the society consisted of
47 members, of whom 30 were from
Norwalk and 17 from Stamford. The
parish was two years 'old when it was
decided to build a meeting house by a
vote of 24 to 1, and this church was the
result. It was built by levying a tax of
$4.125- on $100. In February, 1732, the
ministers of the county were consulted
with in reference to securing a minister.
In May of this year John Eclls applied as
acandidatc. In March, 1733, after ten
months of probation he was called by the
society, and June 20, 1733, theday we
celebrate, he was ordained pastor. He
received his pay by taxation, as high some-
times as 8 per cent. on actual valuation
being levied. He also received ten acres
of land and $313 per year as salary. Mr.
Eclls continued eight years. In 1741,
Rev. Robert Silliman was called, in 1772,
Rev. Wm. Drumond, in 1782. Rev.
Justus Mitchell, in 1808 Rev. Wm.
Bouncy, in 1831 Rev. Thcophilus Smith.
The Speaker also traced the occupants of
the church pulpit till the present time,
Rev. Mr. Greenlcaf being now pastor.
He said there had been but three meeting
houses. The first was erected in 1732, a
few rods from the prcsént edifice. It was
30 feet square, and high enough to allow
of one tier of galleries. It was enlarged
a few years later. Not a vestigc of it now
remains, and not a person is living who
ever saw it. A second church was begun
in 1750, and occupied in part in 1752. It
stood a little southeast of this edifice. A
bell was hung in the bclfry in 1799. The
present church was dedicated June 14,
1843, forty years ago. last Thursday.
Alluding to the time when stoves were
not allowed in churches the speaker said:
“Somebody came to a meeting who was
not frost proof and a curious building was
erected for their benefit, called a ‘society
honse,’ close to the meeting house. It
was a waiting room for worshipers, and
had in it afire place where the physical
man could be made comfortable between
services. The speaker also traced the
line of dea’cons who have labored for the
church from the first, and gave a history
of the New Canaan Academy, and the
glorious work which it and the schools,
both public and private, had wrought for
the moral and educational world. Besides
these be outlined the history and work of
the Sunday School. .
At 'the close of the address, Rev. J. G.
Davenport of Waterbury, recited an
original poem. ‘
After the singing of an afithem, the con-
gregation proceeded to a grove on the
premises of William St. John, where an-
der fine shade trees acollation was served,
tables being set for 800 guests. This over,
points of historical and familiar interest
were visited, the ancient cemetery near
the church not being overlooked.
At a session in the church after the
collation, anthems were sung, addresses
made, Anthony Comstock of New York
making one of them, and what may be
termed an intellectual love feast indulged
in,
Fortunate conditions of weather con—
duced to the pleasure and enjoyment of
all. -
Wilton Farmers’ Club.
, The Wilton Farmers Club met. June
filth at the School House in Hurlbutt
street and after the correspondence had
been read and,disposed of, the discussion
of grasses was postponed one week and
the strawberry question was taken up.
The President called. on Mr. Andrew
Jackson to give a few' remarks on care
and culture of this berry, to which he
responded, and being perhaps their best
authority on this subject, gave briefly, yet
explicitly, instructions which would aid
not only the amateur, but older growers.
He commenced with the selection of soil
and plants, deeming the latter especially
important to get. them from mother plants
that have never grown berries and point-
ing out the fact that' unless the kinds (if
not perfect flowers) should be fertilized
with those of opposite sex to produce full
fair berries. He embraced the whole
care of them until they were on the table
prepared, and then supposed the friends
would know how to dispose of them.
He was;held as an expert‘for some time,
and answered promptly all questions
asked him. After this a committee was
elected to name the best four'kiuds pre-
sealed, for size, flavor, color, etc, not
considering their several merits or de-
merits in growths, adaptability to the va-
rious localities and soils. Committee
chascn were John Dudley, Andrew Jack-
son, Wilbcr Gilbert, Mrs. George Com-
stock, Mrs. Theo. Jelliff and Mrs. Har-
mon Gilbert. After along test (it perhaps
seemed longer to those not on the-com-
mitten) they called the Seymour &. Downs
seedling (a new variety originated by
them, but hold the exclusive stock wait-
ing to sell to some one whowill start
them on the market as their merits will
allow. The Secretary had visited their
grounds and spoke very highly of their
desirability, with dark green foliage, well
set, large berries,‘casy to prepare for the
table, and of a rich, sweet melting field
strawberry flavor and aroma. The next
awarded 2d. was the Jersey Queen which
as it appeared spoke for itself. Large,
solid, handsome and uniform shape.
These were grown .by the South‘ Norwalk
parties as of No. 1. The 3d could not
help but be named Sharpléss, the largest,
(many of them not quite ripe), but their
peculiar flavor also the quantity presented
and hence placed as you find it. Of this
variety were presented several dishes by
Andrew Jackson which were the largest
on exhibition. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Com-
stock entered a large dish, but were not
fully ripe—very fine. The secretary cn-
ripe and wcroprranged very nicolyi , The
Big Bob, large size, handsome rcd,.desir-
able shade, made it attractive, and was
called 4th. The Manchester held some of
the committee, but they gave in to the
Big Boy. The name of those berries in
competition were Chas Downing, Crcscnt
Seedling. Green Prolific, Longfellow,
and Marion. A committee chosen by the
President served them to all |preacnt find
none could say they did not have all they

EXPERIENCE on- somn on our:
PROMINENT CONNECTICUT
CITIZENS.
[From the Hartford ConrantJ
The present age is one of advancementsr
On every side the inventive mind,dccp ‘
research and cunning hands are dilligcntly
striving to perfect schemes whereby the
masses may be benefited and elevated to
a higher plane of usefulness in life. Sci-
ence has dispelled superstition in all civ-
ilized lands, and is rapidly making inroads
in the countries where belief in witchrkaft
and the “black art” have for ccnhiries
made miserable the lives of the inhabi-
tants. A hundred years ago, even in this
beautiful section of this country, now al-
most the ccnter of civilization and culture,
had a person asserted that the human
voice could be transmitter: a hundred
miles, he would have been treated either
as a lunatic or an emissary of Satan. In
alike manner would the compounder of »
any medicine have been treated had he
claimed for his production the virtues now
generally ascribed to Hunt‘s Remedy. In
proof of this latter assertion, read the
following statements made by well-known
citizens of Connecticut. Among the
remarkable instances of cure related to
the reporter was that of Mrs. L. W. Clark
of 109 Main street, Hartford, who stated
as follows: “ For nearly a whole year I
was an invalid, unable to go out of the
house, and a great part of the time con-
fined to my bed, a living, powerless sub.
ject of themoat dreadful of all diseases,
‘kidney complaint.’ From along suffer-
ing I became very weak, with a great lack
of vitality, and very much reduced in
flesh. All this time I was taking various
medicines, and under the care of our fam-
ily doctor, and not receiving a particle of
help. I'had almost despaired of getting
well, when my attention was called to
Hunt’s Remedy by a boarder in my fami-
ly. I commenced taking it (unknown, to
the doctor), with little hopes of relief.
This non-belief .was soon dispelled, how-
ever; as I daily began to improve. I con-
tinued the use of Hunt’s Remedy (and to
make along story short), used eight bot-
tles, dispensed with the doctor, and ,to the
surprise of all who knew me. and my own
great satisfaction, became as well as ever,
All pains and aches vanished, appetite re-
turned, gained strength and flesh, and to-
day considcr myself as well' as ever, and
only too glad to place my testimony with
that of others.
. "That your medicine, ‘Hunt's Remedy,’
brought me from a sick bed I well know,
and many people 'who know of my con-
dition pronounce my cure almost miracu-
lous. I am happy to say I am enjoying
excellent health, thanks to your valuable
medicine, Hunt’s Remedy." .
Under the date of May 14, Mr. E. A.
Thompson, the well-known grocer 'and
provision dealer of 78 Green street, New
Haven, Conn., makes this remarkable
statement: “Several weeks since I was
taken ill with kidney disorders, and an ex
aminatiou of my urine showed a very dis-
eased condition .of my kidneys, and I had
also symptoms of a diseased state of my
liver. The passing of my urine was ac-
companied with severe pains in the small
of my back and loins, followed by a burn-
ing sensation, and after. having stood
awhile in the vessel, the urine showed a
heavy deposit of a sediment similar to
ground brick-dust, and, in short, I found
that I was in such a diseased condition as
to require immediate medical treatment,
and as I was anxious to obtain the best
and most speedy remedy, I looked and ing.
quircd carefully, and became satisfied
that Hunt’s Remedy was an article of ex-
cellent merit, and therefore 1 concluded
to give it a trial, and commenced taking
it, and before I had taken one bottle I
found such a great improvement that I de-
cided, to continue its use, and by taking
only two bottles the result has been moat
gratifying in giving me restored health.
“I have ordered a supply of Hunt's
Remedy for my store, and shall hereafter
have it for sale, as I consider it an excel-
lent article for diseases of the liver and
kidneys.”
Edward Allen Esq, well known in
Hartford, was called upon by the reporter,
and the following will show how highly
he prizes this wonderful medicine:
“Being one of the oldest druggists in
this city (although having retired from
business), I wish to say a good word about
Hunt’s Remedy. -A number of years. ago
1 was troubled with disease of my kidneys.
The idea of a druggist, however, resort~
ing to the use of ‘a ‘patent medicinc’ was
a little humiliating, but when I came to
consider how many people had been benc
fitcd by the uSc of_ Hunt’s Remedy,I un-
hcsitingly began using it; and after hav-
ing fully tested its virtues, I can say,as
many of customers have said to me, “It is
the the best medicine for kidney and liver
complaint ever cbmpoundcd.’
“I have yet to learn of a single instance
where it has failed to benefit and give sat-
isfaction; in fact, it is the best I ever sold.
“I would say to all who are troubled
with ‘kidney and .liver’, complaint, give
Hunt’s Remedy a trial, and you will say
as I do—it is the best-known medicine, and
the test is the cheapest every time.”
Suits ’Against the Bridge
Trustees.
Suits have been begun aghinst the cities
of New York and Brooklyn and the trus-
tees of the Brooklyn bridge by James M.
Lyddy, as counsel for ten of the persons
injured in the accident onDecoration day.
The total amount of damage asked for is
$500,000. The suits are brought in New.
York against the bridge trustees person-
ally as well the municipalities of New
York and Brooklyn, on the ground that
by their culpable negligence they contrib<
utc’d to the accident.
HOPE FOR DRUNKARDS.
My husband had drunken habits he could
not overcome until Parker’s‘Ginger Tonic
took away his thirst for stimulants, restored
his energy of mind and gavehim strength for
business. . 4t24
When we were ten years old we used to

Help In wanted lo-dny.
Comfort is never in a hurry. Pain and dis-
tress are in hot haste. It rs to the "friend in
need”—-the friend who does something now—
that the old adage pays the compliment of
being "a friend indeed.” That-they do not
keep the sufferer m suspense is the salient ex-
cellence of BENSON’S UAPCINE POROUS
PLASTERS. 'Thc plaster’s of” other an s——
whether porous or otherwise—said—“ mt
until to morrow: we can promise nothing on
the spur of the moment.” But pain unre-
lievql, like hope deferred. malroth the heart
sick. Benson’s plasters act on application.
They permeate, soothe, warm and heal, con-
tainingas they do, chemical and medicinal
agents of the highest efficiency: Their motto
is now, and the genuine have the word CA I’-

Under the Drift that was
Whitest and Coldest.
BY MRS. M. F. BUTTS.
/
Under the drift that was whitest and coldest
The meadow is greenest to-dsy ;
Up on tho knoll where tho 'wind blew coldest
The sun is having its way;
Hoar-t that lies frozen, must there not be
Summer and sunshine waiting for thee ?
Out in the tree that was scourgediand lonoly
A bird is building its nest;
Sorrow lasted a season only,
Obeying a high behest.
Heart that waits, wounded, must there not
; be -
Someminged hope on its journey to thee ?

Sunstrokejs caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is “muagy.’
It is more apt to occur on the second,’
third or fourth day of a heated term than
on the first. Loss of sleep, worry, excite-
ment, ,closo sleeping. rooms, debility,
abuse of stimulants, predispose to it. It
is more apt to attack those working in the
sun, and especially between the hours of
eleven o’clock in the morning and four
o’clock in the afternoon, 0a hot days

and put inside of it on the head, a wet
cloth or a large green leaf; frequently lift

but drink what water you need to keep it
up, as perspiration prevents the body from
becoming overheated. llave whenever
possible, an additional shade, as a thin
umbrella, Wllcli Walking, a canvas or
board cover when working in the sun.
When much fatigucdgdo not go to work,

Cheering Words from

The Rev. W. D, Powell, missionary of
the Southern Baptist Convention at Sal-
iillo, Mexico, in making application to the
American Bible Society for a grant of
books, says: ' ,
I baptized an entire family, who were
brought to Christ through the instrumen-
lalily of a Bible gchn to the head of the
family by a colportenr 01' flit: American
Bible Society fifteen years ago. They
were the first to unite with us after I lo-

Rev. James D. Eaton, missionary of the
American Board, says in a recent letter to
the American Bible Society: a
On Saturday last I found a Mexican
woman who possesses a Spanish and
English new testament, published by your
society. which she somehow got hold of
long ago. She goes no more to mass or
confession, and is practically a new testa-
