One of the brightest advertising ideas
yet struck in that embodied by the All-
cock Plaster company in their new litho-
graphs. They have copied that popular
picture entitled “Friendship," where a
naked little boy sits on a plank otter a

patliizing dog, and have cruelly adorned
the back of the cherubic boy with one of
their plasters. The dog’s neck is also
adorned with an advertisementpf Bran-

The members of the First Congregation-

fair which they propose to hold the third
week in April. The proceeds of the fair
will be devoted to the church parlor fund,

party has pledged the society $1,000 when
a similar amount is raised by the members
and it is expected .that the forthcoming

it is comforting for the people of this
town to know that they can be supplied
with pure and clean milk a fluid used in
every family, and especially important
where there are iiivali-ds and young

the counties of that state, to the city of
New York, is either adulteraled, watered
or skimmed, and that after its arrival in
that city is further adulteratcd and water-
ed, the people of this town can certainly
congratulate themselves that their milk can
be bought pure, rich and clean,as a recent
call at the “Ledgewood Milk Farm," of
Miss F. M. Peaslee, has convinced us..
This farm is situated about two miles

so arranged that the large cans are placed
in ice cold water, as soon as they are filled
with milk, and there remain .some two
hours, or until the milk has become cold
enough to bottle. While in the spring
house, the milk in the cans is by a pccu
liar process so agitated, that the cream
is diffused throughout the .whole body of
milk, so that when bottled, each bottle
contains an tqual share of the cream.
The bottling room is perfectly clean, and
adjoining is the refrigerating room, kept
about 35 degrees Fahrenheit. As soon as
the milk is bottled, it is put in this cold
room, and there remains until taken in
covered wagons to customers. By a lac-
tometer test we found the milk as bottled
ready for dclivery,scveral degrees above

family to procure a lactometer of some

Congregational church, South Norwalk,
is a young man of no ordinary talent.
He is always worth hearing; a pithy,
incapable of being dull. His eccentrici-
tiespcrhaps add to the singular force of
his eloquence. His 'words act with
stirring and tonic effect, especially upon
young men. Wherever he is heard, he is
spoken of as one of the most attractive
speakers on the lecture platform.
A good joke is told at the expense of
one of the horse car conductors. One
a evening last week he stood in the depot at
the city terminus of the‘liue, according to
custom, toasting his shins over the
register. When the time for the departure
of the car arrived the driver started off
without him. Just after the car had
rounded the corner near the Baptist
church and was fading away in the dim
distance, the derelict conductor shot out
‘of the depot and meekly inquired of a
by-stander “Which way did that car go?"
Madelia, daughter of Edwin and Sarah
J. Hoyt. died after a protracted illness at
an early hour yesterday morning at the
family residence in New Canaan, in the
twenty-fifth year of her age. Endowed
with those noble qualities of mind and
heart which command respect and admi
ration, Miss Hoyt had drawn around her
a large circle of friends, and was a favor-
ite ,at home and in society. Here in
Norwalk, where she was quite well
known, the news of her death will be re-
ceiued with profound sorrow. The funeral
services will be held to morrow afternoon
at 3'o’clock. .
The members of the Dwight Place
Congregational church, New Haven, were
surprised Sunday by the sudden announce-
ment of the pastor, the Rev. Thomas R.
Bacon, that he had discovered dimensions
. in the church, and felt called upon to
offer liis' resignation. Mr. Bacon is a
son of the late Leonard Bacon, and is an
able and eloquent meacher. Dwight
Place church, of which he has been pastor
for three years, is one of the wealthiest
and most fashionable in New Haven.
Even Mr. Bacon’s friends were surprised
at his action. Men and women wept
aloud as he read his letter. It is asserted
that there are not a score of people in the
church unfriendly to him, and official
members of the church say that the resig-
nation will not be accepted. They think
he has unneccesssrily heeded the talk of a
handful of gossips.

He had a good wife but instead of con-
tributing liberally to her support he gave
her about $2.50 a week to live on and
was wont to spend the balance in beer
