Quite a sensation was created at St.
‘ Augustine’s church, Monday morning, at
the close of the 9 o'clock mass, by the
sudden screaming of a Mrs. Joseph Brad-
. ley, of Stratfcrd, who was seized with an
’ attack of hysteria. ‘The woman left' here
‘ seat and walked towards the altar, and
before any one could render assistance
she fell over'the chancel rail. Several ' of
the Sisters of Mercy quickly saw the situ-
. ation of afiairs, and by their prompt action
in diverting the frightened children to a
place of exit, a panic was prevented. Mrs.
Bradley was then put in charge of an ofil-
cer, who shortly afterwards allowed her
to return to her home. The unfortunate
woman has heretoforc1experienced similar
u, sudden attacks, and it is believed that she
’ is suffering slight effects from the bite of a
dog several years ago.——Standard.

to distinguish from genuine hen berries.
The whites are made from albumen, and

and when cooked are pronounced “equal,

were there to protect them. The News

The question now arises: Did the au.

street assembling of the salvation army?
In other words, to discriminate a inst this
sparticular class of people. In ridgeport
he council prohibited all parades with mu
sic unless a permit was received from the
chief of police. It was thus made at the
' option of that official who should parade.
In this case the prohibition applies to
only one class of people. What our own
opinion is of the army and its tactics has
nothing to do with the matter. The
guestion simply is: Have the army a
ght to parade if other bodies have the
right? ‘

"answer to the ‘roll call’ for .during his previous en gements in this
city, when his invariaby large receipts
had ,become- proverbial. Mr. Curtis re
resented Sa‘m’l Plastrick as usual in his
own inimitable style, and invested the
character with irresistible humor- He has
'ma‘de’it‘ a study from life, and his exag-
gerations are carried just 'far enough to
make the performance intensely droll .

The last entertainment of the course
will be the old folks’ concert, to be given
to-morrow evening. As it is under the

first-class entertainment can safely be ex-
pected.
The Thomaston Express in chronicling
the appointment of Isaac U. Horton as
postmaster of Bethe], says :—-“Mr. Horton
is a native of the town of Harwinton, and
studied law with Messrs. Bradstreet &
Etheridge in this village. For several
years he has been practicing law with suc-
cess' in Bethe]. Were we in the Senate
we should vote ‘Aye’ vigorously for his
confirmation. That his nomination will
be confirmed, however, there is no doubt,
and we take this opportunity to congratu-
late him upon his appointment, and the
people of Bethel upon securing so able,
conscientious and honorable a- man for
postmaster."

As usual the churches are profusely and

weeks the young people have been busy
and the result shows that they have not
labored in vain.

0n Wednbsday of last week, Mr. Chas.
E. Comstock, who lost a limb some years
ago by being run over by the cars, was
crossing oncpf hisfields he saw a flock of
sheep'belonging to his neighbor, Sherman
Morehouse. In attempting to drive' the
animals out,-a vicious ram turned _upon
and attacked him furiously. Being un—
able to move quickly the animal knocked
himdown and prepared for another charge.
As he came up Mr. Comstock caught him
by a leg undesucceeded in throwing him on
his side. Mr. Comstock’s artificial limb
became misplaced and he was unable to
get up. He‘managed, however, to crawl
to the stonewall, dragging the struggling
brute with him, where be procured a stone
and turned lire tables, giving the ram a
pounding about the head so that when he
was released ‘he'was glad to ‘get away.
Mr. Comstock did not have even a staff,
so that it was with considerable difficulty
that he managed to get to the house. He
was considerably bruised, but not serious-
ly injured, buLhe was rather angry.
“Well. what a delightful time we did
have," everybody is saying. “Wasn't
that a fine speech of Rev. Mr. Anderson,
and what albappy address'from Rev. Mr.
Bissell, and wasn’t it kind of Mr. Leete
to drive down from Ridgefield to be pres-
ent, and how natural to have Mr. Hubbell
with us,” 'These and similar remarks are
heard on every hand, and it means that
the exercises on Thursday at the Congre-
gational church passed ofi splendidly.
"Besides these brethren the Rev. Mr. Me-
serve, of New Haven, was present and the
only fault found with the good man was
because hismddress was much too brief,
and so he has promised to come again and
speak longer. The afternoon exercises
lasted from 2:30 until dark. Rev. Mr.
Barto, of the Methodist church, read the
prayer. Numerous hymns were sung by
the choir and congregation, and the in-
ed by a large audience. The church
building looked fine in the new decora-
tions, and the taste displayed by those
who have had charge of the work is to be
greatly commended. After the religious
exercises were over, the ladies gave a very
substantial supper to every one who would
partake, in the chapel. And then the
evening. For weeks the little folks have
been anticipating the Christmas exercises,
and when after the songs, the recitations,
the Christmas story, old Santa Claus him-
self came right down the chimney out of
an immense fire-place built on the platform
before the eyes of the children, with pack
on his back, in fur-trimmed coat and cap,
such a chorus of laughter greeted the old
fellow as rings in the. air yet. He had
presentsfor all, and two hundred children
more or less, went home to dream of the
wonderful scene, and many a- Sunday
school teadrer, weary with the work of
the preparation, found a glad heart was a
lovely burden to bear. So ended one of
the brightest days in. the history of the
Congregational church and Sunday. school.

The Fight.
From the BridgeportNem’ account of
they Williams-Kelleherflght at College
Point, Long Island, Tuesday, we take the
following:—
The fight was with hard gloves for a
purse of $250, and when the contestants
bounded over the ropes, both fresh, smil-
mg :and brawny representatives of young
manhood, they were greeted with loud
applause. Each was in first-class physi-
cal condition for the work before him,
Williams is 21 years old and weighs 158
pounds while Kellehcr is 25 years old and
weiohs 155 pounds. The latter has fought
the Marine/three timestoa draw, although
in one of the contests every one present
thought that Kellehcr should have been
declared the victor. The letter also fought
Joe Lyman, the heavy weight to a draw,
stopped Jack Green in very short order,
spurred Mike Cleary to a draw and has
been engaged in numerous other battles.
Williams, beyond his brief, and successful
battle at Stadlcr’s Park with aLong Island
man two years ago. has never done any
serious work in the ring. Tuesday’s com-
bat was sharp and short. Williams, al-
though cool, showed a disposition to force
the fighting, while Kelleher was cautious
and wary. In the first real onslaught
which Williams made he caught the other
man on the ear and sent him to the floor,
thus winning the first knock-down. Kc]-
leher was given first blood through admin-
istering a blow which cut the Norwalk
man’s ip These were the only notewor-
thy incidents occuring for one minute and
a half. Then Williams,who was constant
ly forcing the fighting, made a rush but
was neatly stopped by Kelleher, who in re-
turn put 1]] two heavy blows on his ribs.
rThcsc were followed up by a terrific right
hander that caught Williams under the
jaw and sent him down very much dazed
and demoralized. He pluckily rallied and
came to the front only to receive the same
severe punishment 9. second and a third
time. The third blow rendered him in-
sensiblc, and at the end of three minutes
time. Therefore the referee awarded the
fight to Kellcher. Its actual duration was
2 minutes 6seconds. Neither of the men
showed any outward marks of punish-
ment Kelleher said that Williams was one
of the gamest men he ever met.
A number of Nor-walkers who witnessed
the fight any that it was a “chance blow”
on 'the neck that knbcked Ike out, and
that up to that time he had the best of
the encounter. They think Ike can whip .
Kelleher, (1 Ike thinks so himself. He
expresses lnmself as anxious to meet him
again soon and promises to make a much.
better showing the next time.

STATE AND GENERAL.
‘Maggie Gray, of Hartford, was killed
Sunday by falling down stairs.
Thirteen sheep were killed and several‘
others terribly mangled by dogs in Green-
wich a few nights ago. The sheep be-
longed to Judson Maples, and he will
probably prosecute the dog owners.
At Fitch's Soldiers home at Noroton are
two veterans, one named Hawley and the
other Readfield. They are half brothers,
but had not seen each other forforty years
until they met at the home a few days
since. ,
Recently a good many stones have been
thrown at trains passing the Hillhouse
avenue bridge in New Haven. A watch
was set and resulted in the detection of a
number of nice little girls who had collect-
ed a pile of stones, and were waiting to
discharge them as soon as the train came.
Winsted is likely to soon have a college
and a big hotel. Connecticut has not a
more progressive, thrifty and enterprising
town than Winsted. And it might be
added, none with more pugnacious har-
rooms, Hardenbrook’s building, one even- scriptures and Rev. Mr. Anderson offered mony in the prevailing disposition of the

\Charles Roberts, a dissipated black-
smith in S'outhington, took laudanum the

chagrin of the undertaker.
The Sonthingtou creamery in November
took 17,464 quarts of ~milk, and made
1,361 pounds of butter, which sold whole-

the milk was 136, and net proceeds per
cow $4.31 The number-"of patrons is

Just hear the old stage: who furnishes
the Bridgeport News with horse notes and
prize fight reportsz—Sitting on a pile of
evergreen tying Christmas decorations in
the light of a pretty maiden's shining eyes
is a dangerous occupation for susCeptible
young men. Many a brave heart has been
woven into the wooflof love while watching
a set of pink and white fingers deftly fly-
ing through a lap full of evergreen. Well,
well, such is the way of the youngfworld,
and Nature knows best after all. We
were all youngonce, and haven’t forgotten
it all yet, and hope we never will.
