Mrs. Davenport, who died here on
the 1st inst , in the 72d year of her age,
was the wife of George A. Davenport,
who forso many years was the accepta-
ble and popular Judge of Probate for the
District of Norwalk. She was the sitter
of' the late Isaac M. Sturgcs, a native of
Wilton, but a lawyer of eminence for
many years in Bridgeport. From Mr.
Srurges she inherited a modest fortune,
which she has in all probability preserved
intact for her several sons, who have al.
ways ~been dcvotedly attached to their
mother and who in return were blessed
with the far higher and richer wealth of a
true mother’s love. Mrs. D. is said to have
been a woman of strung and comprehen
sive powers of mind and of resolute pur-
pose; a mother who was the idol of her
children; always the recipient of the esteem
and affection of those knowing her best; in
fine, a mother whose life was consecrated
to the welfare and happiness of her chil-
dren. With the ihopo and faith of the
Christian mother, she has laid down her
life work, sweetened by the consciousness
of having invoked Heaven~ for grace and
forbearance to bear its burdens with
Christian fortitude and resignation and
with her eyes of faith made radiant by
the opening glories of the immortal life
beyond the grave.

P. R. Fairchild, of this place, died last
Monday night. Abrit six weeks ago
he was stricken with paralysis and more
ering was given up. Mr Fairchild was
formerly and for many years a route
agent on the mail line between New York '
and Boston. 0n the connection of the
senior of the Guam with the New
York Sun enterprise, Mr. Fairchild was
placed in charge of the press and publi-
cation department of that paper. Here
he continued a most faithful and labori-
ous employee until he was forced to give
up the position byIrensOn of the paralyz-
ing effect his night work and the gas
lights in constant use in the. Sun press
vaults had upon his eye sight. Latterly,
he has remained quietly at his rural home
in Barton, heroically awaiting the sum-
mans to “go tip higher." Mr. Fairchild
was faithful to every trust in life. Dur-
ing his suffering and _thc inevitable ap.
proach of death, althoughin the meridian
of his manhood, be uttered ‘no repining
word or complaint that the end of his
earthly pilgrimage was so near. With
manly fortitude and the supreme happiness
of a Chr1stiau faith, he could face death
with the sure conviction that all his suf-
ferings here would be rewarded by a life
grave. ‘

of the water is dry grand, and that in
three months time watermelona could he
raised on the ground over which we were '
then passing." In anotherplaco he states
that seeing a structure apparently built
during the' winter and exelaiming .in
amazement at the temerity of the builders,
one of the pilots laughs, and says: “Why,

'DEAR Sin—I have for yeprs been reminded of the pith of the im-
pions remark, that man would have been a much more safisfactory
piece of mechanism, had he been constructed on the principle of
“The Deacon’s One Horse-Shay,” “that would run an hundred years
and a day” in completeness and then suddenly without warning be-l
come a heap of dust, instead of the gradual giving out of parts and
continuous expensive-and inconvenient repairs, by the fact'that my
teeth were beginning to waver and decline their proper duty; that
their ranks were becoming thinned by desertion, while the remaining
veterans from doing double duty, were asking retirement, having been
worn out in service. I have looked forward with a shudder to the time
when they would all be forcibly mustered out of service. And I,-
after a time of mumbling horror, a second babyhood of toothlessness,
without the charming accessories that made the first period a dreamy
comfort to me and a. pleasure and delight to my immediate relatives,
should be fitted up with a metal or rubber ceiling to my mouth, and the
truly unmistakeable uniformity of “store teeth,” , But, thanks to the '
inventor, as well as the practitioner, of the “N ew Tooth Crown and

Hood’s Sarsaparilla?
“I have been troubled with scrofuln since
.ehildhood. Three years ago I commenced
taking Hood's Sarsapariila, and in one year's
time was entirely cured." Mrs. M. E. Park-
ham, Dexter, Mo.
“ I am employed in the N. D. postofiico, in
this city. as carrier. During our late wot
spell, I aufiered from what the doctors call
muscular rheumatism. I was advised to try
Hood's Sanapat'illa. I did so, and am entirely
cured." J. V. A. Proudfoot, Chicago, Ill.
The dose of Hood’s Sarsapnrllla is only
from one .half to two tcaspoonfuls, three
times a day. A bottle of Hood’s Snrsaparilla
contains one hundred teaspoonfu'is, and lasts
a. month; others, dose from six to twenty tea-
spoonfuls a day, and average to last less than
a week.
Mr. C. A. Schultz, of Fostorla, Ohio, says:
“I have been using Hood’s Sarsaparilia for
some time, and find it a. good thing. I was
troubled with indigestion.”
