The Drummer Boy of Shiloh._ i
The representations of that stirring '
war drama called the Drummer Boy of
Shiloh caused considerable excitement in
our community bringing to mind the
many thrilling scenes of our late war, and
arousing within the bosom of all who
witnessed it. the old spirit of patriotism
that so actuated the hearts of all loyal
men during the'dark days of our Country's
perils .
The caste, for smateurs.was very good,
many of them acting their parts with
skill and-merit. The Stamford ladies,
Misses Ida and Jenny Carey, and Miss
Marshall rendered their partsfinely. The
latter deserves special praise for the sweet
manner in which she sang the dramatic
songs“Motheris the Battle over,” and
“The Vscant chair". Miss Nellie Malktn
of Norwalk who noted the part oers.
F rmer Howard showed a splendid con-
ception of the part and rendered that
character finely. Miss C. L. Kellogg also
of Norwalk, in representing the Goddess
of Liberty. not only displayed a line per
sonai appearance but won the applause
and admiration of all. W. .A. Royce in
the character of Uncle Joe, although suf-
fering from a severe cold and hoarseness,
faithfuly portrayed the negro in trait and
character. 00. F audits ofileers made a
fine appearance. Their prompt handling
of the musket proved their knowledge of
the tactics, and their military bearing
spoke the praise of efficient omecrs and
disciplined men Their coolness under

do if brought to face'a more stern reality

Monday night at Music Hall for one

shows the open, raging sea and the
tempest tossed boat ”that bear the

angry billows. Will that host make the
harbor? That now is the question to be
solved. On the quay stands an excited
crowd with Philip Royston in'thc midst.
The waves that threaten to swamp the
craft send gladness to his heart. while
they exact tears and shrieks of aympa
thetic horror from the women who watch
the scene. Every time the boat rides
gsliantly over a threatening wave the
men gave a mighty cheer, and so. for
some minutes, hope and fear, joy and
sorrow alternate. But the joy is to be
supreme, for the good boat gets ,over the
dangerous har'and comes safely to shore.
Jack and Gerty’a troubles are ended.
The arch-villian is once more foiled, for
Gerry now has possession of that certifi

less—the scenery and stage merchant-m

prosperous run is safely predicted for
“The Romany Bye" both in England and
United States.

The Three Your Liniit.
In the New York East conference
Thursday, there was an animated discus-
sion on the resolution asking the general
conference of 1884 to provide a possible
extension of the terms of pastors. Rev.
C. S. Williams, formerly of this place,
was opposed to the present three years
limit. He told haw a minister had
stayed four years in one place, and
asked: “Is it honorable to dodge needs
in this way, and whip his Satanic
majesty around the stump r Ara mfnir-
ters to be compelled to wear the worn out
toggery of. the past, and turn out like so
many Oscar Wilder ?” . Rev. I. J. Lansing
of Stamford, favored the resolution. He
said the three years' limit was ruining the
Methodist pastor and the class meeting.
When a pastor drew near the line of '0
years of age he looked towards an
editorship or some stationary work. Rev.
D.‘Buckley defended the three years
limit, and rather sharply criticised the
advocates of "extension. Dr. Curry
thought a change would work more
harm than good. The debate was not
finished.
“The Fashionable Event of the Season ’.
The Banker's Daughter, a play that is

The Baseball Risen.
The opening of the baseball season is
looked forward to with much interest by
players, managers and lovers of the
national game. The associations, each
numbering eight or more clubs, have
many hundred men engaged at salaries of
from .800 to $5,000. Many of the clubs
have as many as twenty-five men under
contract, and with the heavy salaries
paid to players and :tha traveling
expenses, the managers will have to play
to large crowds to save themselves from
loss at the end of the seasom Baseball at
present is regarded with more public
favor and confidence than it has been for
many years. Trickery and fraud brought
the game into such disfavor in 18-70 that
respectable people would not visit the
grounds of many clubs. A firm stand
was taken by a few energetic managers,
however. the League. American and
other associations were organised, hon-
esty and integrity were looked for among
the players, and the game has grown
steadily in favor. The players are now
paid good salaries. and the old evil of
public betting on the grounds has been
done away with.

tons by going to the schools in town and ,
giving tickets to the scholars to be sold -
by them. Entertainments of this kind
are becoming quite- numerous, and we
think the school visitors should make
some regulation in regard to it. It takes
the time and attention of the pupils from
their legitimate work beside being a
source of annoyance to the teachers, who
are expected to keep account of the tickets
taken and the number sold, and also to
act as treasurer.

time he arrived hom‘c, and finding no one
in possession but two small boys he
demanded admission to the farm house.
Being refused by the boys, he proceeded
to smash in a window and gaining an
entrance struck the boy across the head
with a stick, making quite a wound. He
was arrested and jlricd the next day
before Justice Finch, who fined him 05
and coats and sentenced him to jail for
thirty days. whither he was escorted by
Sheriff Kemper.

The wonderful restoring and renovating
l properties of Hood's. Barsaparllls, combined
,' with its power to build up the system, cradl-
cato scrofuln, and cleanse the blood of all
lrumors, make it the best family medicine
that can be devised; and as a protection from
diseases that originate in changes of the
. seasons. of climate, and of life, it cannot be
excelled. If you are suffering from scrofula,
‘ salt-rheum, or any other obnoxioushumcr,
l Hood’s Sarsaparllla wlu_bring you relief.
Can only be applied truthfully to Hood’s
Sarsaparllla, and is an unanswcrable argu-
ment as to strength and economy.
Miss Nellie Maine, Bockvllle, Conn., was
troubled for two years with terrible scrofula
sores on her- neck. One was as large
as her hand. She got discouraged; a friend
advised her to take Hood’s lSarsaparllla.
After taking three bottles, the sores healed
and all signs of them disappeared. Sins has
not been troubled since.
