The firm’s exhibit at Danbury was pro- nounced ono of the most olegant, and tho fair .managers felt that it was not too much to award them fivo first premiums, ono for each of their specialties. But the Danbury show cases simply contained samples of what the firm are dealers in every day at their warehouso in Bridge- port, and resident ladies inclined to visit New York for bargains may find it to their advantago to take the shorter journey to the Park City. The store of Messrs. Hall is central, contiguous to all the marts and the rallway station, and is in sight of the court house that is to be, and which came so near strolling our way. Tho shopper looking in upon the store will find it occupying “11'“ floors, and an army 0t Saturday to await the action of the Grand clerks behind the counters. They :may see a $40,000 stock of dress silks, chiefly of imported grades, and sealskin material and garments made up of the very choicest grades. Clocks in cloth, plush and all fashionable textures are now being handled. Thorough inspection of all these, and a thousand other linos going to make up a first-class dry goods store, not forgetting lace, curtains, Smyrna and Caledonian rugs, blankets by the 10,000, raw silk covers, upholstery goods, will convince the most fastidious that is not necessary to go to New York for first-class goods at fair prices. xx ——-———«+———-————— Main to tho Front. —-'l‘here should be great rejoicing among people in every walk of life over the re- building of the famous packing house of Sperry & Barnes, New Haven, Conn., which was but a few months ago almost totally destro ed by fire. For cars they have supplie the markets of ew Eng- land with their pork products, which have become justly celebrated for their fine quality. Sperry & Barnes' Hams, Shoulders, Breakfast Bacon and Kettle Lard have a reputation for superiority that has withstood the onslaught of com-_ petition for years. The capacity of the new packing house is probably not ex- ceeded in New England, and from this time until Januar 1st, from 1,200 to 1,400 hogs will be s aughtered daily. To keep this great industry in motion re- quires the receipt of about eighteen car- loads of hogs from the west or day, for six days in the week; Thurs ay none are received, owing to the fact that none are shipped to them on Sundays, four days being required for their transit from the west. Such concerns as this are a boon to all who derive any satisfaction from the, knowledge that what they eat is pure an Sperry & Barnes have attained in their business is ample proof that their efforts are fully appreciated by the trade and consumer alike. Nowadays no first-class meat market is complete without a full line of Sperry & Barnes’ goods. -———‘-.D-——-— Bethel Items from DanburyNews:-Missl Bessie Pelton, of South Norwalk, is s nding several days visiting her rela- tives in town.—Wllliam Brown of New York city, is spending a few days with his relatives, in Wolfpits. — Mrs. Frank Hubbcll, of South Norwalk, is the guest of Mrs. Charles M.

GRAY, One of the Most Distinguished Exports » on Insanity. chs, Nov. 30.—Dr. John P. Gray, super- intendent of the state lunatic asylum in this city, died at 2:48 o’clock yesterday afternoon after-o somewhat lingering 111nm agedfil film-s. Ho suffered from Bright’s disease. . Gra , who, previous to 1853, was as- sistant physician of the asylum, was in that your appointed temporary superintendent. In July, 1854, he was appointed superin- tendent, a position which be filled with great roceptability until his death. During these years he almost constantly gave his time, and experience-for the good of the institution and had tho satisfaction of sooing it grow up from small-beginnings and imperfect instruc- tion and arrangement to its present mam- . moth proportions and perfection of arrange- ments and dotaii, placing it in the foremost rank among the great public charities of the Union and the world. . .The asylum was opened for the reception of patients on Jan. 16, 1848. Dr. Gray was one of the foremost experts on insanity in the United States and it is doubtful if he had a superior in the world. His fame in this di- rection extended all through the country. Ho was one of the principal witnesses for the 'Unitcd States government in tho trial of Guitoau for the assassination of President Garfield, and pronounced Guitoau insane. An attempt was made on his life shortly after the trial by an insane man, who had formerly been an inmate of the asylum. The crank fired a shot at the doctor as he sat in his office and inflicted a severe wound. A wife and three children, Dr. John Gray, Jr., William Gray, aged 18, and a young daugh- ter, surviye him. , Prob-tion'Aftcr Death. Bos'l'oxs, Nov. 30.-—Ono of the Sunday school teachers of the Second church, Dor- chestor, who resigned his position in the school some weeks ago at the pastor’s rc- qucst, owing to his sympathy with the new Audover doctrine of probation after death, hold a Bible class Sunday in rlors outside. Tho enrollment of this class boon sixty, but the average attendance has only been thirty, whereas fifty were present Sunday. One result of the trouble is likely to be the establishment of a Union chapel. Land has already been given by a disaffected member of the Dorohestor church. A number have announced their intention of leaving the church as soon as they can get their letters, and seats have been lot at Shawmut and Union churches to members of the Second church.

The crowd listened in silence, cheered Hogan at the close of his speech, and then Sullivan and Taylor proceeded with their boat. _Baukcrs Called to Account.
