The new passenger locomotives just is-
sued from the Hartford shops for the Con-
solidated road are proving very efficient
machines. ‘Their numbers are 120 and
121 and both are provided with “driver
brakes," the first engines thus equipped .
on the Consolidated road. All new pas-
senger engines of the road will be so fitted.
It is claimed that there has much power
in these brakes as in the combined brak-
ing power of an entire passenger train
and that with their use any train running
at full speed may be stopped within its
own length. 'The old style of braking
an engine is by means of brakes applied
to the tender wheels; under the new sys-
tem the driver, tender and car brakes are
applied simultaneously by compressed air.

Die Lewis has Issued a new and instruc-
tive monthly magazine entitled “D10
Liswrs‘s MONTHLY" which, combined
with pleasing and interesting stories and
miscellany, devotes much space to the
rules of health. , Its character may best
be inferred from the following note by
the publisherz—“It is conceded that the
cloud overhanging this wonderful land is
the doubtful health of its people. With
good digestion and good nerves we can
more than realize the ‘world’s brightest
hopes. The aim of this magazine is, to
popularize Sanitary science. We shall
strive to make the subject of the health
of our bodies as simple and interesting as
eatery.” Clarke Brothers, No. 68 and
09 Bible House, N. Y. City, are the pub-
. lishers. Rates 25 cents a number; $2.50

Memento of the Past.
Mrs. E. P. Weed has favored us with a
very interesting reminiscence of the past,
which is a letter writtep by her great-
great grandfather, J chn Terrell,.Esquire.
Mrs. Weed informs us that the desk and
ring, of which the writer speaks, she and
her mother, Mrs. Samuel Lyrics, have in
their possession. The writer was at one
time, Governor of Barbadpes, and in one
of his old letters speaks of “his old friend
George Washington.” Mrs. Weed also
has a letter written by Mrs Terrell. dated
1741. This is the epistle :—
an YouK, October 21st, 1778.
My DEAnns'r NANNY :—This is the first
'good opportunity I have had since I came -
here of writing to you. We are all well
except my wife, who was taken ill three
days ago with her old disorder, but is this
day something better. Upon my arrival
here I waited upon my good friend, but
he was out of town. As soon as he return-
ed I saw him, when he very kindly rc-
celved me and told me‘ he would do
everything in his power to serve me, and
in a few days sent for me and offered me a
genteel living of between two and three
hundred a year sterling which you may be
assured I readily accepted rather than
live an idle life. The friend by whom-
this goes Will give you a more particular
account of me, as the time will not suffer
me to dad. I wrote soon after I get
here by the “Flag” I came in,but question
whether you received it. I should have
been extremely happy, if I could have -
heard from you. However, as we cannot
enjoy even-the happiness of an epistolary
correspondence, we must endeavor to be
as much satisfied as possible till we can
see each other again, therefore my dear
child don’t make yourself uneasy or con-
cerned about me, as the same Great and
Good God who has hitherto protected me
I don’t doubt will still do it, if I put my
trust in him, which I hope _he will
ever give me grace to do. Had a friend
of ours been with me, my old friend told
me he would give him a genteel post
under me if he would have accepted it,
but it was whatI have often heard him
say he never would accept of, tho’ there
are many that would be glad of such an
offer. if it is possible pray let me hear
' from you td the care of Billy, who with
Betsey has been extreme obliging to us
and desire their loves sent to you.My wife
would write to you, but is not able to
hold up her head one moment from her
pillow. We have sent by Mrs. Fang
some things for you and family and
Anthony as under which I hope that
lady will be permitted to bring you safe;
we would have sent more but it was not
in her power to take them. Give our
love toers. Kidd, and compliments to
the Deacon. My wife has sent her: a
paper of pins. My ring which I value
very much, that 'I left in one of the private -
drawers in the desk, I beg you take care
. of. My wife and Sophy join me in love
to you, doctor and children, and may God
bless and protect you all is the sincerest
prayers of, my dearest child, .
' Your Most Affectionate Father,
John Tunnnrm.
P. S.——-The things sent for you are 1

Bell Island Notes.
Quietly, and for the most part unknown
to our citizens, a little colony has sprung
up at Bell Island near Roton and from the
present appearances that charming little
spot will soon rank among the most fanh-
ionable and popular seaside summer re-
sorts. .A number; of cottages have been
built and people are flocking there by the
scores. At present the majority of the
visitors cotfic from Danbury and vicinity
though there are a number from New
York and other points west of us. We
give below a few arrivals and happenings:
H. E. Dean of Danbury, is rusticating
and enjoying the salt air here.
Rev. Mr. Freeman and wife of Danbury
are expected here to-day.
‘ A gentleman recently caught thirty
blackfisb near the wharf.
L. P. Treadw‘ell and family of Danbury
are occupying Foster’s cottage.
A number of new cottages are being
built and a greater number are needed;
The Rev. Mr. Frost and family were
here last week and have left for New‘
York State.
The families of Frank Barnum, Frank
Butler, Howard Abbott. L. K, Mansfield,
*Timothy Foster, Timothy Jones, L. P.
Treadweli and Frank Clark are occupying
cottages by the sea at Bell Island—Dan-
bury News. '
Parties going to Bell Island to spend,
one day or many days will find .Al.
Steele’s to be the place of all places to
stop. Sea food in abundance and most
delicious, and prices moderate. If a sail
is desired no better one can be found than
Captain Boughton to take you. He is
net only a perfect gentleman but is every-
’ thing desirable as a captain of his craft.
His boat has many times taken the prize
in the race—Danbury News.
The-steamer Carrie A. Ward makes reg-
ular landings at par dock thus affording a
convenient means of reaching this delight-
ful spot.
Blackfishing is good in our vicinity and
fishing parties generally have good luck.

- The August WIDE AWAKE is a notably-
beautiful issue, evidently intended to add
to the delights of the summer vacation
'days for both children and adults. It
opens with a deliciously piquant frontis-
piece by Mrs. Jessie Curtis Shepherd,
called “The Button Charm," and fellow-
ing comes a piquant story by Sophie May,
of “The Runaway Rings.” ' There is
another story, the wit and sly humor of
which render it delightful for piazza read-
ing aloud. It is by Mary E. Wilkins,
end entitled simply “Toby.” Particular
ly adapted for the pleasure of summer
idlers is “A Castle in Spain,” by the same
favorite author, a long fanciful ballad,
accompanied with eight full-page draw-
ings by Alfred Brennan, in which be
quite transcends all his previous work in
this line. “The Lights of Paris" is another
well-illustrated contribution. It is writ-
ten by Isabel Smithson, and the fourteen
drawings for it made by Bodilsh in Paris,
and show many curious old street lamps
and lanterns, as well as fine engravings of
Paris by gaslight and electric light. The
fifth installment of the Picture Serial,
“Through Spain on Donkey-Back,” by
the same artist, is' another strong attrac-
tion of the number, and Hy. Sandham's
“Surf Bathing at Newplfit,” “A Summer
Sketching Club," from the painting by
Bellavoine Hassam‘s “Boy Blue," and

separated by a little quarrel owing to the
miscarriage of an explanatory letter. He
went West and married; she stayed East

neither has any idea of ever marrying
again. Truth may be stranger titan fic-

short a time, and every one giving great
satisfaction so far- as I know. A promi-
nent businessman of Norwalk said to me
last week “Haven’t felt well for several
months. Stomach not right. An "all
gone" feeling. Been trying;llowe’s med-
icine. Am feeling a great deal better. I
believe it is a tip top thing.”
Another Norwalk man told me, “It has
done me mere good than any other med-
icine I ever took. Am better in every rc-
spcet- .
Try it. It may bcjlfst what you need.

Doctor called to see me, Came to see
some stubborn cases here in Norwalk, said
1 will bring them out all right with this
Remedy. Told me at three or four very
severe cases of cancer, cured in past four
months. Drove it from the system with
his Blood Purifier.
With much earnestness and enthusiasm
bringinghis fist down on the desk at the
same time, said: ~“I have the best medi-
cine tn the world'” I believe Dr, Howon
to be a square, candid man. He is happy
in the thought that his medicine is doing
good and the more I see ofits effects, I am
satisfied that he is right.
