So it is meeting an old friend and the announcement that he will be present is sure. to bring out every scholar and friend of the school. On Friday morning a gloom was out over the place by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Clarence D. Lincoln. The deceased, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hull Bradley, although not having been a resident of the place for any great length of time, had a large circle of rel- atives and friends, and her death, occurr- ing just when she apparently had a long life with all its enjoyments before her—- seems all the more sad. The deceased was in her twenty-eighth year and leaves a husband and infant child. The funeral was attended from Christ church on Sunday afternoon, Rev. James E. Coley ofiieiating. W. J'. Wood, A. T. Goodsell, Lloyd Nash, Edward Williams. Frank Coley and William Taylor acted as pail bearers. The interment was in Willow Brook cemetery. W WILTON. The announcement is made of the en gagemcnt of Mr. William Footc of this place, and Miss Norah Raymond of New York city. Mr. Benjamin Benedict, who has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Edgar Bloomerl for the past year, will leave Wilton on Monday next for his home in Iowa. The meetings at the Congregational church still continue, much interest being manifested. Rev. James W. Hubbell, of Danbury, will preach Thursday afternoon and evening. There will be preaching Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day cvenings, beginning at 8:45 p. m. Mr. Wallace Huntington has issued his annual catalogue and price list- of his famous fish poles. Mr. Huntington’s poles may be found in nearly every state and territory in the Union, and wherever 'used have proved themselves durable and excellent. A fish that won’t be caught on Mr. Huntington's poles isn’t worth catch. lug. Mr. Stephen James died on Saturday, in the 72d year of his age. He had been sick for more than four years, during which his iron constitution made every efiort to shake off his terrible disease, but without avail. He was a man widely known and thoroughly respected. The funeral occurs at the house tomorrow at noon, and at St. 'Matthcw‘s church at 1 p. m. Deceased leaves four children, three daughters and one son, whois editor of the Thomaston Empress. —-———-——4-O-P——-—— BIDGBFIELD. Montiac has a private skating rink.

As it was thought the child would not live to be an hour old, the priest was summoned in haste and administered the rite without asking for details. The child survived, however, and when it was too into his reverence was informed that Patrick was a girl. NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY FEBRUAP3_Y10,1885 MIST of ma Bliflilillli Barbarian THE _l._ versus 'THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER. CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER and ROYAL BAKING POWDER, purchased by myself in open market. I arrive at the following results: CLEVELAND’S BAKING POWDER is made of very pure materials, and is entirely free from Alum, Ammonlm,Tom.Alba. or any adulterat-iou whatever, and I recommend it as a healthful, efl‘ectlvc and perfectly reliable baking powder. The ROYAL BAKING POWDER CONTAINS AMMONIA. AND AS THIS DRUG IS NOT WHOLLY EXPELLED FROM THE DOUGH IN THE BAKING PROCESS, and as most medi- cal authorities agree as to the injurious effects resulting from the continued use of Ammonia, m use in food should be strongly condemned. CLEVELAND’S BAKING POWDER evolves more carbonic acid gas than the ROYAL BAKING POWDER, and it; is, in consequence, more economical to housekeepers. ' Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 4, 1884. ELIAS H.
