attendance was not as large as it would
have been otherwise, their ardor was not

of the opera were given. Where all were
so good it' is useless to discriminate, and
suffice it to say that everything was far
above the ordinary and the singers, prin.
cipals and chorus, refiected- great credit
upon their trainers as well as upon them-
selves. We are pleased to announce that
the cantata will be repeated Friday even-

rangements can be advantageously com.

Swartz felt that 11c had
done the “little boss’s” Hartford exploit,
about one better, and would hereafter
discount him as Norwalk’s great American

achievement this coercing Malone to step
aside, so as to let Dann slide into the office
created by anderomiscdto him and then
to have got him to sign a release and
resignation, and hold one end of it in his
honest grip, while Swartz’s appointment
was similarly held by his other digets, all
just to fool the boys of the Phalanx, and
save the party from still further going to
pieces. All this fully justified the sheriff-
clcct in believing himself “a bigei" man

this perilous home “racket,” but his mind
is. constantly haunted with the fears of
similar rows and “ructions” from about

about him, and every crowd of strangers
he sees on the depot platform, or in

shake in his boots, and. time and again
has he wished he 1'vcrc dead. In imagin-

that can be. devised; and as a protection from
: diseases that originate; in changes of the
seasons, of cllmato, and of life, it cannot be
excelled. If you are suffering from scrofula,
. salt-rheum, or any other obnoxiouslihumor,
Hood’s Sampnrilla will bring you relief.

The adjourned town meeting was held
in Sturges Hallon Saturday afternoon to
two weeks ago. A committee consisting
of Chas. H. Kemper, Eliphalet Gray, W.
R. McCreddy, Theo ore E. King and
John B. Morris was hen appointed to
build a bridge at or near the location of
tho presentstructure. It was then voted
that-the new bridge be of iron. Consid-
siderablo dischg’sionflhen followed as to
whether the committee should be limited
as to the amount to be expended, but the
motion to so limit it was lost, so the
matter of expenditure is left to the dis-
cretion of the cpmmittec, and undoubtedly '
a,'bridge will be,‘,crected which will be a
credit to the town, and as cheaply ssis
consistent with proper economy.
The notorious case of Carver vs. Staples
has been decided by the supreme court in
favor of Carver. The original action was
brought some years ago before Judge
Taylor, in which Mr. Staples sued Dr.
Bo'uton for trespass which'was decided in|
favor of 111.301.1011. Mr. Staples then
took an appeal and 1n the Court of common
pleas Mr. Staples obtained a judgment on
technical grounds, getting a verdict of $1
damages and $1 costs. The present
action was then brought to the court of
common pleas and decided adversely to I
Mr. Staples from which he took an appeal'
to the superior court which afilrmed the 3
decision of the lower court. It now re 13 '
mains tobe seen whether Carver will bring ,
an action to recover the value of the stone l
which Mr. Staples has removed from the 3
land. . ‘
