Beef caters will be sorry. Local retail
dealers have kept prices down about as long
as they can. They must go up now. “Not
very high,” one large dealer says, “and
not for any great length of time.” There
is little occasion for alarm in this vicinity,
although choice cuts bear the greater part
of the upward burden ; ordinary pieces
for ordinary people will remain at old
prices, or very near. the well-worn netch.
So they tell us. -Within two weeks the
wholesale price of beef has jumped from
$2.50 to $3 a hundred, and a further rise
of .182 is contemplated.—— Waterbury Amer.

As Fritz stood around the depot the
other morning his tender heart was deeply
touched and Ire was moved to tears as he
observed a little casket transferred to
the Danbury train. Wending his way
mournfully back to his sanctum and con—
trolling his emotions as well as he could,
he penned a pathetic and- beautiful little
paragraph about a casket with a floral
pillow and blue immortclles, “in which
rested the remains of someone’s beloved
boy," etc. But come to find out, it was
only some onc's beloved little dead pug

ribbons, veilings, etc. There are also a
few cases of black Henrietta cloths,
pluslres and other fine dress goods. A lot
of fine hoiscry and several boxes of sum—
mer underwear were also in the wreck.
One reason of the great success of W. B.

special offerings and the determination to

whole distance, three miles, to his house,
forgetting all about his horse which he left
at its post, until early Sunday morning,
when he awoke and suddenly remembered
where he had left the animal. He im-
mediately got up and walked the three

Danbury had a $90,000 fire Monday aft-
ernoon. It started in Armstrong & Co's.
box shop, a three story wooden building
on Canal street, which was burned down
in fifteen minutes. The flames were com-
municated to the large three story machine
shop of R. A. Belden &. Co., which was
totally consumed and a large amount of
valuable machinery destroyed. Butcs’
lumber yard and office, Meckcr’s big
elevator, Barry’s carpenter shop, a large
tenement occupied by six families, and a
store house for grain were burned. The
large brick building known as the sewing
machine shop took fire but was not do
stroyed. Some of the ties on the Hor'rsa—
tonic branch and the New England roads
caught fire, and the depots of these two
roads were only saved from destruction by
vigorous work of the truck companies.
The intense heat of the flames and low
pressure of the water supply prevented
the firemen from saving more of the prop-
erty. It was one of the worst fires Dan—
bury ever saw. ~

Another of these staunchTemperance
Republicans, complains of the attention
he receivL-s from the editors of prohibition
papers, or their allies in town. He has a
suspicion that it is the latter, as he lras
contributed freely and willingly to the W.
C. T. Union, and now fears the mono ' is
used for third party purposes. He says they
lrnve their labor for their pains, for he
knows that the cause of temperance will
be better served by education, than by
legislation. In one respect however he is
thankful for favors, as -thc documents

A pretty affair was that given Thursday
afternoon and evening in the parlors of
Christ church, by the ladies, the object
being to raise a little money to purchase a
chandelier for the choir. Tables were set-
and liberally provided with good things.
A small sum for admission and for the
privilege of sitting at meal being charged.
Tire young ladies acted as waitresses, and
their arts in prevailing on patrons to order
and pay for many firings on the bill of fare
that they did not want resulted in acconr-~
plishing the object they had in view.
About $50 was cleared. Tire social fea—
tures of the event were such as to induce
the feeling that more frequent occasions
of that kind would please.
, Through the agency of Mr. E. M. Lees,
Mrs. James Roach has received a widow's
pension and back pay amounting to $2,—
500. Mr. Roach went out with the Seven-
teenth regiment in 1862, and died at St.
Augustine, Fla., in 1865. Through some
enemy or person not fully conversant with
the facts the name of the deceased was
placed on record asa deserter, and that
record has all along been as a stumbling
block in the way of obtaining the pension.
Through Mr. Lccs' well known disposi
tion of adhering to evidence in support
of aclaim when ire knows it is fair and
right, the matter finally reached the bureau
in such shape as to convince the oflicials
there that the claim was a worthy one.
A dog owned by John Caram of the Fil-
Icy foundry, met with an accident Friday,
which can—never again happern—to him,
for he was killed. Tire dog crossed the‘
“horse car truck ahead of a moving car.
He then recrossed, and, as if not satisfied
with the exploit, crossed again, this time
choosing to dart between the binder legs
of the horses and the car. In doing sothe
whifiletree struck and knocked the canine
off his plus and \before he could recover
ilrc wheels passed over his neck, nearly
severing the head from the body. Pus—
sengers felt a jolt brrt supposed it was a
cobble stone, but on looking back they
saw the prostrate animal floundering in
the dust trying to reconcile himself to the
new condition into which his foolhurdiness
had placed him. Something was said to
Supt. Downes and driver Mills about being
less reckless in driving over the road,
hinting possible lawsuits for damages in
this case but they did not scare him worth
a cent. ’
Miss Louisa Sherman. who for thirty
years lived as a Shaker with the Shakers
at New Lebanon, withdrew recently in the

trol all the money and get all the benefits.
For several weeks she has been visiting

advantages of social life are and the possi-
bilities for a person who seeksto be really
independent. For the thirty years ser—
vices to the Shakers she was, at the date
of withdrawal, paid by the elders $30,? or
atzthe rate of $1.00 a year. A day or two
ago Miss Sherman left for the home of her
brother in Haverstraw, convinced that the
best part of her life had been thrown away,
though there may be chances remaining
to make up advantageously for time lost.
