Important School Hosting-
By order of the Acting School Visitors
the teachers of the public schools of the
several districts of the town of Norwalk
are requested ~to meet at the Franklin
street school house, South Norwalk,
Thursday, Sept. 1 1887, and at the Over
River school house, Norwalk, Friday,"
Sept. 2d, for examination and renewel of
certificates. Both meetings at 4 p. in.
Local Elections.
In just one month, i. e. on the First
Monday of October, our Town and Bor-
ough elections are to recur. Itisa ques-
. tion whether any improvment can, or is
likely to be attempted to be made 'upon
our present respective town and borough
boards of officers. Serving the public in
these local municipal offices, is a thankless
task at best, and when energetic and
honest man, thoroughly imbued with the
desire to do the best they can for the peo-
ple they serve, why is it not a wise‘. and
good thing to continue them in office.
At all events, there is about four weeks
time in which to cuss and discuss the
situation.

The Grade Crossing Hearing.
The Railroad Commissioners' meeting
at Soutthorwalk. and the hearing on the
grade pressing matter at line. Common
‘ Council rooms_Wednesday afternoon was
an important and interesting session, citi—3
zone of our town attending in considera-
ble- number. An intense interest was
manifested in the subject, the universal
sentiment being in favor of the abolition
of the grade crossing. The recent tragic
catastrophe at the Five Mile River :cross_
ing was used as a weighty argument by
Senator Hill, who, in a powerful and logi-
cal speech, endeavored to impress upon,
the Commissioners the justice of the
town’s plea for protection at the expense
of the road, from the danger for which
the road alone is responsible. Hon. Levi
. Warner followed. Mi'. Hill, in a speech ar-
raigning the company for dereliction of
duty, and making use of this expression :
‘ ‘Gentlemen of the New York ,New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company, you
claim and exercise what. you call your
ri ht. Do you call this your right?
Vlfould you not call it murder if done by
an individual or by any other kind of a
corporation ? I think it quite time to call
thin s by their right names and this is
mur er. You eliberately take the
chances of killing people, and they are
killed. This is a plain statement of your
act and your responsibility, and you can-
' - not escape it.“
Lynde Harrison, attorney for the 'com-
pany, followed, and made an eloquent ar-
gument on behalf of the road, in which
he said that at the time of the. Five Miie~
River disaster the work of constructing
the gates was in progress and the hole dug
for the foundation of the tovar. The de-
lay in the cases of dangerous crossings‘
was occasioned by the unwillingness of
the towns to bear their share of the ex-
pense involved. Curtis Thompson, of
Bridgeport, made an elaborate address for
the towns. He said : l
”The danger arises from the action of
the railroad company alone. And; the
railroad company is held responsible
for accidents. t is subjected to 1 the
entire cost of flagmen, it pays the entire
cost of gates. In every respect the railroad
isresponsible until the separation of = the
' grades comes, and then an effort is made
to saddle a part of the cost of the change ~
upon the towns. I clain that this is illog-
ical, unfair, and inequitable. The towns
have no power to act to makethe crossings
safe, and so has no moral responsibility,
and no one will claim that the town must
pay any part of the judgments rendered in
case of casualty. The town, as a corpora.
tiori is, therefore, a disinterested party, .
pecuniarily and morally, losing nothing he-
causethe crossings are as they are, gaining
nothing from their seperation, and there-
‘ fore .not to be taxed for any part of the
expense. The towns are not petitioners
2‘ or changes. The railroad companies are;
They, and they only, will profit by the
change, and they alone, should pay all the
cost of changing.

Y. M. C. A.
The young men of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, held a pleasant song
service Sunday afternoon. The topic of the
meeting Was “Work”, an appropriate one for
‘ anew society. Most of the songs bore on
this topic and were heartily sung. A year
text was chosen as a motto for the year. It
is found in John ix: 4 “We must work the
works of him that sent me, while it is day,
for the night cometli when no man can
wor .” A passage from Isaiah was also
chosen asnn assurance of God’s help. “II
the Lord do keep it, I watch it every nio-
inent lest any hurt it : I will keep it night
and day.” The members seem encouraged by
this beginning, and expect to continue such
services, to which are invited any young
linen.
Anniversary of the First Baptist Church.
The “golden-wedding" anniversary of
l the First Church and Society of Norwalk,
will be celebrated to-day, (Wednesday)
The event will'be elaborately observed
and of course exceedingly interesting.
Fifty years is a significant mile stone in
the life of any organization and far more
‘ than the average of our human lives and
it is meet that such an observance should
'be had by the good people of this church.
' , The'»public are cordially invited and will
be abundantly repaid by attendance. The
. afternoon session will open at 2 and the
evening at 7 o’clock. '
___.._._ __.+ .
Sorry, Very Sorry.
Very many of our best citizens will sin-
cerely regret to learn that Dr. E. C. Clark,
has decided to leave Norwalk and remove
to Brooklyn. Dr. C. is unquestionably
one of the best. educated, most thoroughly
experienced and successful practitioners
of the medical and curative art,‘that, has
_. cve'r. settled in our town, and we deeply
regret that because of the continued ill
health of-his family. he has felt compelled
to leave us and seek change of air and
location. But success attend him wher-
ever he may go, for he abundantly deserves
it. '

A Test Vote.
There are indications that there will be
something like a genuine voting test in St.
Louis' this fall. Recorder Williams, who
has heldthe office for six months, has cui-
ployed his time in fen-ethic,r out the number
of fraudulent registrations He has just
' given his report to the public, and finds that
of a total registration of 70.000 prior to the
'spring'election M1886, 20,000 names were
fraudulent. The number of genuine voters
now-registered is 45 000. The facts which
the recorder ascertained will be submitted-
tothe next board of revisions and he hopes
tohzive the lists‘purified before the next
election._ There will be some hopes for the
republicians even in St. Louis, with an
. actual voting list to work Inn—Hartford

Trouble Among Knight Template.
Great cOmmotion has been caused
among the Knight Templnrs of New
Haven, by the refusal of Eminent Com-
mander Lyman Johnson, of New Haven
Commandery, No. 2, to issues call for the
" Knights to turn out at the funeral of
George Crabtree. Mr. Johnson’s reasons
- - are that Mr. Crabtree belonged to Hiram
Lodge, which is at sword’s point with the
Grand Lodge. Mr. Crabtree had belonged
to the Knights for 30 years.

Deserved Prosperity.
The Norwalk Horse railway ,company
has declared three dividends during the
present year, aggregating thus far a total
of sixteen per cent. A well deserved
business success, and all the more gratify-
ing because the “flush milkings” in this
company’s receipts are said3to be in the
Jail months.
110 Years Old.
Mrs. Paradise, a French woman, living
'nenr Putman,'Ct., died Saturday at the
great age of 110 years. She was supposed
do be the oldest person in New England.
Reunion of the 17th Connecticut.
One’ of the pleasantcst reunions ever
held by this gallant old regiment, was that
at Danbury on Saturday. The day was
superb and the greater portion of the sur-
viving members of the regiment were
present and in line. Danbnry never does
anything by halves and on this occasion
fairly outdid herself. She sumptuously
entertained and fed at least 500 soldiers
and their accompanying friends, and then
fed a second series of' at least 500 more
hungry visitors arid then had an abund-
ance of food left from the liberal stores
contributed by the good ladies of that
town. Judge Brewster made-an able and
entertaining address of welcome to the
veterans, and Governor Lonnsbury ad-
dressed his old comrades with fervor,
good sense and eloquence. Gen. Noble
also made a short and feeling address to
the boys of his command, and others took
part in the various dcsultory discussion.'
One interesting feature of the occasion
was the presence at the dinner'and on the
platform of the aged Mrs. Tryphena
Bevens, of Danbury. The aged lady took
a lively interest in the proceedings and
shook hands with so many, young and old,
that she became quite fatigued. She is in
her 102d year. She took her seat at the
table next to Governor Lonnsbury, and
brought with her a relic in the shape of a
britannia tea-pot over 100 years old. She
was escorted to the front of the platform
by Gen. Rider and introduced to the audi-
ence by ,G. S. Piirdy, and as she took her'
‘ seatthe glee club sang “Auld Lang Syne.”
She said she was proud of the records
made in the war by her six ' grandsons,
four of w'liom did not‘live to return home.
Her husband was a soldier in the war of
1812, and the sight Of a uniform always
thrilled her to say, “God protect the brave
and preserve the Union." The Danbury
brass band and glee club diseoursed sweet
music at intervals throughout the day.
The various local committees vied with
each other to make the occasion a' happy
one and their guests glad they came. The
invited guest were welcomed to the Town
Club rooms, an institution most creditable
to the liberality and enterprise of the best
citizens of Danbury. When can we hope
for such an edifice to be erected here in
Norwalk?
Perhaps the event of the day, which
gar/c themost delight to the greatest num-
ber of comrades, was the election of Lieut.
Willis McDonald to be President of the
17th Association for the ensuing year. It
was a dying wish of the late Col. Allen
that this might be done, and every one
recognized that he had worthily {earned
the honor. Interest in the old scorinty
regiment will not be allowed to wane while
McDonald_is at the head of its affairs.
The following vice presidents of each
company were nominated by members of
their respective companies : Co. A, Sergt.
Rufus Buttery ; Co. B, Charles A. Hobby;
Co. 'C, W. H. Warren ; Co. D, W. L.
Hubbell; Co. E, Rufus Wakcman: Co.F,
Captain Wood ; Co. G, Lieutenant Bar-
tram : Co. H, Sergeant Bossyj; Co. I,
James Wright; Co. K, Henry Waite.
The Monroe Street Crossing.
A corespondent at South Norwalk, says:
“In our proposition made some weeks
since to discontinue the road crossing at
Monroe street, in this city, we did not
intend ' that Franklin street should be cut
direct to Monroe, as that would involve
the removal of two expensive dwelling
houses belonging to Mr. Ira Seymour ; but
that the short street from the foot of Frank-
lin street leading to the nursery should be
further. extended fifty feet and thence to
Monroe street. This would cause only the
removal of a small cottage and burn, and
could ' be done atone fifth of the expense
of a direct extension, and would answer
all purposes, as an outlet from that portion
of the street west of the crossing, and as
”that stl‘e'et will soon‘ be occupied for resi-
dences, the aggregate distance of travel to
the business portion of South Norwalk
would be lessened rather than lengthened
by this connection.” x x x

Miss Nelson's Bug. '
Miss Emily Ne‘son of Bridgeport has re-
ceived a present from Merida, Yucatan, in
the shape of a jewelled bug. It has a liar-
ness of gold, and is jewelled with precious
stones, and is the gift of Signora Fuentes
efaMerida, Yucatan, wliOsc daughter, Ev-
elie y Fuentes, has passed the last three
yeras at Miss Nelson’s seminary on Golden
Hill. Her bestowal of the live, educated,
jewelled bug as a gift is considered in Yu-
catan as a high distinction. The bugs are
extremely difllcult to educate and are
looked upon by the lowor classes as the
particular property of royalty. Miss Nelson
is very proud and justly very happy over
her bug and wears it constantly while
driving or out shopping, The insect is
about the size of an ordinary beetle.
Around its body is firmly fastened a gold
band. .Another goldstrap is riveted to
this and passes down the back, around
and under the body, and is welded upon
the under side, to the gold belt cncircleing
the body. Upon the back are tiny jewels
set in gold and fastened into the shell.
The coloring of the shell is a brilliant, Nile
green, edged off with black. The move-
ment of.thc bug gives flashes of variegated
colors which are remarkably pretty and
attractive. Upon the under side is fasten-
ed a tiny gold chain, which iiiturn is at-
cached to a? chased brooch. This can be
pinned upon any part of the dress. Miss
Nelson says these bugs liven number of
years if not exposed to the rigors of north-
ern clinics. She fastens hers at the‘belt,
and the jewelled beauty goes wandering
among the garniture of roses, 'flowers,
and laces, worn upon her corsage. The
bug does not seem to be timid, but crawls
tranquilly about oblivious to thc'udmira-
tion he creates.

After Niantic.
The camp has been a disappointment,
solely because three days of ugiijeathcr
prevented carrying out the prescribed
routine, and left really one day for camp
work. But there is reason to believe that
decided progress has been made in that
essential of camp life, guard duty, which
has always been the weakest spot in the
routine of the week in camp. Thank sto-
flic intelligent and painstaking efforts of
the regular army instructor, and to the dc-
sire of officers and men to show improve-
ment, much has been learned which will
not be forgotten during the year. The
governor in] his flattering congratulatory
order to the brigade refers to other points
in which progress has been made and ives
merited praise to all. And it shoul not
be forgotten that the camp has been con-
spicuous over all camps of the past few
ears for the good order maintained.
hen the boys come marching home to-
day throughout the Sfatc they should be
given a hearty welcome.—Hartfard

. A Compassion.
Some interesting figures are given by
the St.'Louis Globe-Democrat, showing the
compumtive production of pig iron in this
country and the United Kingdom. The
figures in tons, of 2,000 pounds each.

' The growth of the production in this
country has been rapidly advancing for
sixteen years, while in the United King-
dom the advance has been slow, and last
year the production was less than the for-
mer year by about 750,000 tons. The
United States will lead the world in the
production of pig iron in a few years, if
this rapid increase continues. This coun-
try is also second in the production of
coal.

.NORWALK GAZETTE,
Chautauqua as It Is To-day.
In the extreme western part of New
York State lies the beautiful Chautauqua
lake, seven hundred feet above the waters
of Lake Erie. Among the attractive points
rapidly becoming summer resorts along
the borders of this lake, is its namesake,
said among other things, to mean “Easy
Death.” One can understand how the Red
Man would call a passing away to the
“Happy Hunting Ground” from this love-
ly spot, by such a name. Nor is it hard to
believe the prophesy that “ere long there
will be no available land left upon the
shores of this lake, so eagerly are its sites
being seized and appropriated.” On the
east side of the lake, Point Chautauqua
presents a fine appearance with its promi-
nent hotel upon a bluff, but the Chautau-
qua of modern fame is on the opposite
bank and built on lower ground. 'This
summer school has reached such» gigantic
proportions that she.bids fair to outgrow
her pinafore and assert her independence
of leading strings.
Long since she assumed the honors of
maturity, and this season claims to be the
parent of thirty-four Chautauquas, to say
nothing of the tens of thousands of grand-
children gathered in the numberless local
circles from California to Japan aifl Aus-
tralia. A new Chautauqua Lake raiiroad
just opened, connects. the Assembly
Grounds with Jamestown, which is called
New York State’s f‘Baby.-{City," and is sit-
uated at the south end of‘the Lake. Here-
tofore visitors could enter Chautauqua:
only by boat via Mayvdlc from the north;
and' Jamestown or Lakewood from the
south. A high fence surmounted by a
barbed wire encloses the grounds, and an
occasional gate guarded by a keeper, gives.
ingress to countrymen living in the vicinity
who drive in daily‘ with their farm pro-
duce. : ‘ ~ I
The original idea of the association was ,
that of a Methodist camp meeting, and to _
this end the early gatherings were held.
It soon, however, assumed the character
of a Sunday school assembly, and from
that'grcw to be the summer school of to-,
day. To President Miller, of .' Akron, 0.,
is given the honor of having first suggested
the undertaking. The chief‘ambition of
its chancellor, Dr. J. H. Vincent, is to
make Chautauqua'the great rallying centre
for all bible students of the country. A
portion of each summer session isdevoted
to normal class work in biblical research,
and the doctor’saim is to gradually collect
'togetlier'everything helpful in the line of
maps, charts, libraries and apparatus of
all kinds whichshail in any way illustrate
the truths of the scripture, and particular-
ly help the great army of Sunday school
teachers. -
A new college of liberal arts, presided
over by William R. Harper, Pii. D., bf
New Haven, is being rapidly completed.
Here gather classes in ancient and modern
languages, mathematics, sciences, history
and philosophy, under various professors
from all parts of the country. In other
buildings scattered over the grounds are
taught elocution,'modeling, painting, cali-
gi'aphy, book-keeping, type-writing, pho-
nography, wood carving, gymnastics, kin-
dergarten, etc. The students in'all these
departments are from the four points of
the compass, but the majority seem to
hail from the three States which hie so
near together in that region—~New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, while of these
three, the last named sends the greatest
number, if one may'judge by the frequency
of the reply when asked “Which is your
State ?”
Any one who imagines life at Chautau-
qua to bean idle one, would do well to
spend a week there and “take notes.” In-
deed, all Chautauquaus seem afflicted
with the “note book” mania, and an enter:-
prising Ynnkce could doubtleés make quite
a respectable fortune by peddling blank
books about the so-eallcd “avenues” and
calling them under theicottage wiiidow of
the ever-constant scribbler of the C. L. S.
C. Unless one were otherwise assured as
to think of no other interpretation for
them than “Ceaseless Literary Scrib-
bling Circle.” Indeed 'so much of enter-
tainment and instruction is offered, and
the season for absorbing it is so compara-
tively short,_that despite all resolutions to
the contrary, the most conservative Chau-
tauquan would smuggle a small pad or a
few blank leaves into class-room or am-
phitheatrc and surreptitiously, if not open-
'ly, make his comments or record his new-
ly received ideas. Let no one who is
averse to note-taking, dare to put his foot
within those fences, for he' will certainly
break his resolution—if he has any desire
for “culture."
One of the mostintcrcsting departments
to visit, is the gymnasium. Through the
energy of Dr. W. G. Anderson, of Brook-
lyn, Chautauqua’s professor of pliys-eul-
furc, this building, which was originally a
skating rink, has becn‘converted for the
summer season into a well-equipped gym-
nasium. Dumb bells, lndian clubs, rings,
wands and swords indicate the extent of
the instruction in light gymnastics, while
the horizontal bar, trapeze, traveling rings,
chest Weights, ctc., mow the thorough-
ness of the heavy work. Tile doctor,
with his brother, Mr. Hal Anderson, con-
ducted eight or ten classes a day, num-
bering some 250 or 300 pupils, varying. in
age from little four-year. olds to gray-haired
aspirants for physical culture. A swim-
ming class was also formed aiidla number
of happy boys went there three times a
week, under the supervision of Mr. An-
derson, to learn to swim in Lake Chautau-
qua. It would be difficult to find a spot
for a summer outing where one might gain
more in genuine solid weight and firmly
knit muscle than a six-weeks’ OXei‘cise in~
this same Chautauqua summer gymnasium.
Among the prominent lecturers who spoke
from the vast amphitheatre platform was
Prof. Henry Drummond, of Scotland, and
who is so well known as the author of
“Natural Law in 'the Spiritual World.”
Every word that fell from his lips was
pregnant with the wonderful spirit Of the
man. ' ,
“Boston furnished Dr. Joseph T. Duryea,
whose address to the class of ’87 on Re-
cognition day was the grandest oratoricai
effort listened to during the seasOn. The
996 present of the 7,000 graduates of this
year, mightwell feel honored at being the
target for such well-directed arrows. Mrs.
Alden, whose “Pansy” books have been
the delight of so many thousand children,
is a member of ’87, and in her honor the
class gave itself her name. Therefore
pansies were at a premium on the. eventful
day and everything in the shape of this
lovely flower, large and small, real and
artificial, was worn upon the person or
used in decoration of the Hall of Philoso-
phy, where the graduates were recognized
and welcomed by the assembly officers,
and also of the Amphitheatre, where the
main exercises were held and diplomas
distributed. Nine hundred and ninety-six
diplomas given out at one sitting, think of
it! and the other 6,000 sent by inail !
But though Chautauqua is serious and
desperately in earnest, she has her frolics
and one of these always follows the long
and elaborate Recognition Day exercises.
This year, of course, it could be nothing
else than the simihir programme for the
“chimpanzee" class with their mock arches,
golden gate, k'vf'y. flower—girls, class, ad-
dress, etc., .etc But such scenes must be
witnessed to be appreciated. The vast
crowds of sympathetic C. L. S. C.’s could,
not but pity the ghostly I. C. U. R.’s and ‘
laughter and'applause followed in quick
succession as the farce proceeded. The
Assembly closed with Sunday, Aug. 28th,
but not .unlil'her visitors had listened to '
such speakers as Judge Tou rgee, J, De‘
Witt Miller and Dr. Fairbhirn, of Oxford, ..
Eng, nor until the Boston -‘-‘Stars”hg.d
filled her vast auditorium with melody,
iivalling Dillei‘s Octet from New York.‘
In this greedy. help-yonrself-first day ,0;
the world, perhaps it is as strange as it is .
true, to be able to say of Chautauqua,
“She gives you far morcthanyonr mono s
worth."

STA TE ITEMS.
The meeting of the Litchfield county
legislative delegation which washeld on
Wednesday, left the New Milford jail
matter undecided when the members ad-
journed. It is probable that they will be
caller] together . again in about three
weeks. '
In the cupola over the Western Union
office at New Haven are 100 wires, each of
which has two lightning arrestcrs. During
the storm of Tuesday evening all but four
of the arresters Were thrown open and bus-
iness was nearly suspended for about two
hours, as no one could enter the cupola
while the storm continuedwithont great
risk of being killed.
Governor Lonnsbury was interviewed at
Niantic Thursday ‘iniegacd to the report
fliat the general assembly would be called
together in special session‘in about three
weeks. He said that no special session
would be called. Public opinion did not
demand it, in his estimation. “The rial-
road commissioners,” said tho‘governor,
“have full “power to guard all'crossings
by gates and flagmen and ought to do so
within thirty days.” -
Abig well is being put down by H.
Wales Lines 62'. Co., at Meriden. On Sat-
urday, after a blast had been fired, Albert
S. Hook led the gang of men who. were
going down in the well to clear on” the
debris. While descending the ladder he
took hold of a board at the top, instead of
the rope which runs down beside thelat-
ter as a safeguard, and 'it broke. Hook
fell backward and landed about twenty-
flve feet below on the boards that‘had
been arranged to keep the blasted rock
from flying around. No bones were
broken, but internal injuries aie feared.
There is another chapter to the strange
story of little‘ Beach Hawlcy, the nine-
year-old Brookfield boy who shot himself
several weeks ago and whose strange story
.was then fully told. After acouple of
weeks the wound healed and the 'boy Was
taken home' and for a time played with
other children as usual and seemed to be
entirely well. A few days ago thewound
began to discharge copiously,.and.the pus
was very offensive. The child began to
grow weak, and it became evident that
unless the ball was extracted it would run
his life away. At last the ball was felt
just below the left ear and was extracted.
Alreadly the boy shows signs of recupera-
tion. There is a curious fact now in con-
nection with the boy's strange adventure.
He now not onlylooks upon itns adream,
but relates the story to his companions as
such, and doubts its reality.
Frank Beecher, of New Haven, died
suddenly and under rather peculiar cir-
cumstances On Saturday. . The: Reporter
says: “Mr. Beecher went to Bristol on
Friday to attend to some business, and
while there was taken very sick. He hur-
ried back to this city and went at once to
Dr. Talmage’s oflice on Howard .. avenue.
He toldvthe physician that he was feeling
very ill and; asked permission to lie down
on the sofa. This was .of course granted.
Dr. Talmagc made an examination of his
patient and found a peculiar swelling in
the region of the heart. Mr. Beecher had
been bleeding copiously from the nose,
and the doctor at once procured a hack
and sent him home. .TlllS was about 2
in the afternoon, and from that time Mr.
Beecher continued to grow w‘orse. Just
after daybreak this morning he got up,
but almost immediately went back to bed
and expired. The cause of 'his death was
heart disease."

An Inscription Long Waited For.
James Dumphy died in Norwich inst Fri-
day at'the great age of 103. Hi! tombstone
was erected in 1872 in St. Mary’s Cemetery
of’Norwich. It is a fall, white shaft, and
for the past fifteen years has borne the fol-
lowing unfinishedvinscription :
........ JAMESDUMPHY, ..
‘ Born in County Ti perary, '
June 13,178 .
Died ——
This monument was erected by the Rev.
Patrick Dumphy, son of the deceased, in
1872, when his father was dangerously ill.
The Rev. Father Dumphy is a Lazarist
monk and was summoned back to the mon-
astery while his father was in a very criti-
cal condition. Of course the monk had to

Mr. Cleveland’s Tame Oats.
The soil at Red Top has been materially
improved since the place first came into
possession of the President. When he
first bought it there was a patch of oats
on the place which would have frightened
away a hungry goat. A friend of Mr.
Cleveland—the Hon. John M. Wiley, of
Buffalo, drove out to look at the place
where those oats were. On his return to
the city he called on the President, and
remarked that he had seen Red Top.
“Did you see my oats ?” eagerly inquired
the President.
“Oh, yes," said John with a hesitating
accent.
“And what did you think of them ?"
The President had never noticed oats
growing before, and he thought he had an
excellent field. j ’
“Well," said the visitor, “I must say,
Mr. President, that there is something pe-
‘cnliar about that field. I never saw oats
planted in hills four feet apart each way.”

A Novel Bet-
Wiiilc I am not a betting man said F- J-
Cheney, of the firm of I“. J. Chency&CO .
Iconsidcr it my religious dutv to make
that follow a bet ; you see he was about
(lead, and I guess he would have died
before spring if I had not got him on the
bet. You know some men had rather-
.lose their life than lose a hundred; Well
he was one of that kind,and we both
came near being out, but I saved my
hundred and it only cost him ten dollars
How’s that? He sent for me one day,
and said the doctors had given him up to
die with the catarrli. I told liim that I
would bet him $100 that Hall's Catarrh
Cui‘c‘would cure him or I would give him
$100 if it failed. He took the latter
proposition. This was three months ago.
You see how he looks now, don’t you?
