' was; WESTPORI! Dr. Horatio N. Powers, formerly of Christ church, Bridgeport, has been visit- ing his brother, Dr. Frederick Powers. Although thorough search has been made no trace can be found of Addison Banks, of Weston, who, a couple of weeks ago, made an assault on a five-years—old daughter of William Goodsell, almost killing her. Banks is a married man. Captain W. C. Staples, who spent the week in Boston, returning on Saturday, speaks of the scenes he witnessed there as among the most animated and inspir- ing. He represented the Connecticut Naval Veteran Association, as well as the G. A. R., and hence attended two conven- tions. He speaks of the G. A. R, dinner in Mechanics’ great hall, west of the city, as one of the finest he ever attended, and so far as distinguished men, who were present, the most notable. A visit to the navy yard enabled him to go aboard the famous gunboat Kearsarge, which met and sank the rebel Alabama, which he had not seen since the war and the time that he was connected with the equally famous gunboat Tuscarora. The captain brought home a menu card of the dinner referred to, and will keep it as a souvenir. Rev. H. S. Still also attended the encampment, as also did Lieutenant J. C. Taylor, but both returned early in the week. Rev. B. J. Relyea preached at the Congregational church, Sunday morning, and, in his sermon, showed that the old time vigor and force as a reasoner and speaker still remains with him. Messrs. Charles and Harry Nichols, of New York, who have been visiting their cousin,‘Mr. Herbert B. Nash, on King street, a few days, returned home Monday morning. The fall term of the Staples’ high school will open Wednesday, September 3, with H. S. Pratt, A. M., as principal, and Misses Bessie Taylor and Louise Clute as assistants. There is to be a bright young lady appointed to the primary department. The principal announces that thorough work will be done in English and college preparatory courses. Nine of the ten school districts have secured teachers for the year as follows: East Saugatuck, Miss Nellie Elwood; West Saugatuck, Miss Lena Morehouse; South Saugatuck, Owen Rice; Compo, Miss Mary Taylor; East Long Lots, Miss Esther St. John Chapman; West Long Lots, Miss Lucy Elwood; Cross Highway, Miss Margaret Clear; Poplar Plains, Mr. V. Godfrey. Greens Farms will probably secure a teacher during the week. In some of the districts assistants will be appointed. The old outline maps, which have misled the boys and girls so long, are to be removed and government survey maps Of the United States, 7 by 5 feet, be put in their places—one in each of the ten school houses. These maps show the exact outlines of all the new states and territories—a very important feature for those studying geography, although they were printed before the admission of the four new states into the Union. Dr. L. '1‘. Day, chairman of the committee on library and apparatus of the board of school visitors, personally looked after the selec- tion and purchase, and has done his, work well. The selectmen have called a special town meeting for Saturday, 23d, to be held in Sturges Hall, to consider the advisability of improving the highway between the village hotel and the railroad depot and appropriate an amount suffi- cient to have the work done well. This is the most important roadway in town— used more than any other, but has receiv- ed no more attention than some remote highways but little used. Observing tax- payers say the whole route should be graded up to a level of the horse railroad tracks with material which will stay when once put there, so that a carriage may be driven from one side of the tracks to the other, without subjecting the owner to danger of breaking his wheels or losing his tires as is now the case. Such work also would solve the problem of sidewalks to the depot on this road and enable the board of trade committee in charge of that scheme to go ahead and lay out their unexpended balance to good effect. It is urged that men interested in these ideas will make it their business to attend the meeting and speak their minds. Resident veterans of the Seventeenth regiment are wondering where their annual reunion is to be held. As yet they have received no notice, and they begin to feel that no reunion is to be held this year. .August 28th is close by. Mr. H. B. Gilbert, who has been visited in the Middletown retreat within a few days by Mrs. Gilbert, was found by her to be in good physical, but in an unim- proved mental condition. _ The horse railroad curve at Riverside avenue and State street has been improved during the week by relaying and paving. Hereafter the steamer Sarah Thorpe will leave here for New York on Mondays instead of Tuesdays. Miss Amy Webster, of Brooklyn, is visiting Mrs. H. E. Sherwood’s, on State If treet. Mrs. Labaugh, of New York, is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Willard S. Adams, at Broad View Farm, formerly knmvn as the Brinkerhoff place. Mr. Leverette White, of New York, and wife, and Miss Jennie Vermilyca, of Tarrytown. are visiting Mr. John Q. Adams, on Washington avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Staples have returned from a visit to Auburn,_ N. Y. During a two weeks’ stay in that City Mrs. Staples was the guest of the Misses Hart, formerly of this place. Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Lockwood and daughter, Miss Celestia, who went to Saratoga with the Housatonic railroad exeursionists from Bridgeport last week, did not return with them, but remained to enjoy the place and its surroundings after the crush had left. “PAUL.” NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20 1890 Our Bridgeport Letter. The new building of the Sea Side Club. corner of :State and Lafayette streets, is now being erected. The foundation is fin- ished and the masons are at work layingthe brick work. This building when finished will add greatly to the beauty of State street. The new post office building, corner Can- non and Broad streets, is nearing comple- tion. The roof is about on and the build- ing looms up above all others in its vicinity. It is a handsome structure. Bridgeport has good reasons to feel proud Of the new court house, recently erected and others to be erected in the near future, Such as those of the new post office, Y. M. C. A. and Sea Side Club. There will also be built on Broad street, directly opposite the North church, a magnificent Masonic Temple. This lot is known as the Peet Place, and has been recently purchased by the Masons. The amount paid was $30,000 The Tem- ple when completed will cost about $75,000. \Vork has been commenced tearing down the building, owner Main and Cannon streets; Mr. Henry Sanford is to erect an mmense building seven stories high in its place. The main floor will be occupied by W. B. Hall .3; Co. It will be remembered that the new post office is directly opposite the large coach manufactory of Hincks & Johnson on Broad street, formerly Tomlinson, \Vood & C0. and the W'OOd Bros. the celebrated coach'inanu- facturers. This fattory covers a large area of ground, and this enterprising firm, Hincks & Johnson, contemplate in the near future to move the building facing on Broad street to the rear of their premises and erect a handsome block of stores and offices in its place. Another improvement will also be made on Broad street. In the place of the livery stables, just south of the post oiiice, will be erected a brick block with stores. Work will be commenced the coming year; or as soon as the present lease expires. The North Church owns one-half of the block bounded by Broad, John and Bank streets. This valuable piece of property will probably be in the market before long for building purposes. The same may be said of the Baptist church on the corner be- low, as this property has been offered for sale. As Broad street runs parallel with and one block west of Main street, these im- provements will make it one of the best business streets in the city. Cannon street from Main to Courtland street will soon be given up to business, as it leads directly to the new post office. A party of capitalists have made offers for the property on Cannon street, known as St. John’s Block, to be al- tered into stores. The new post office arcade will be ex- tended through to Broad street, which will be an additional outlet into Broad street. The Hon. P. T. Barnum and Dr. Hub- bard are expected to return home on Friday of this week. Business manager W. H. Parrott, of the Standard, and family are at \Vatertown, Conn. City editor Boland, of the Standard, and George Hills of the Post, with their wives, are spending a short vacation at Saratoga, and Messrs. Hills and Roland write very in- teresting letters to their respective papers. They were very fortunate in being assigned to the Grand Union during their stay in Saratoga. On Thursday morning last Mr. Emory F. Strong assumed the office of United States Marshal. - Ex-Governor' Thomas B. Waller made a friendly call upon Mr. P. TV. \Vren of, this city, one day last week. Mayor Robert E. DeForest has returned from his vacation. Miss Sarah L. Davenport, daughter of Judge Davenport of Wilton, and sister of attorney Daniel Davenport, this city, is dan- gerously ill with pneumonia at her home in Wilton, Conn. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Hattie Kate Candee, daughter of the late Hon. John D. Candee, to Mr. Daniel Appleton White, of Chicago. on Tuesday evening, August 26, 1890, at the First Bap- tist Church. Following the wedding cere- mony a reception will be held at the resi- dence of the bride’s mother, 543 Fairfield avenue. ‘. ' . ‘ John Otis, son of Councilman Otis, met with a fatal accident on Monday last by fall- ing from the roof of the new school build- ing where he was at work in the East End. He fell about 50 feet,‘injuring him inter- nally. Although attended by the best med- ical attendance he died the following day. He bore an excellent reputation, and was an only child. The parents have the sympa- thy of the whole community in their great loss. Rev. Henry M. Sherman, Of Torrington, Conn., has accepted the call recently ten- dered him by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, East Bridgeport, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Rev. Milledge VValk- er. He will commence his labors on Sep- tember 1. A distressing drowning accident took place yesterday, Sunday, ofl Milford Point. A party of sixteen ladies and gentleman went out sailing and by some means two of the young men were drowned. Their names were Victor Lind and Oscar Abrahamson. One of the party on arriving home after the accident said it was the last Sunday excur- sion he would ever take. TV. G. L.

' A new dog law in Wisconsin declares that if any dog shall attack or run out and bark at any person or horse attached to a carriage traveling in a highway, complaint may be made to a justice of the peace, who, on proof that the charge is true, shall order the owner or possessor of such dog to kill him immediately.

A OLERGYMAN’S TESTIMONIAL. _ About two years ago I was attacked with an inflammatory disease on my face (petyriasis), which was very troublesome, being extremely itchy and painful, giving rise to the production of small bran-like scales. My general health was affected by it. I used the Cuticura Resolv- eut. Cuticura, and Cuticura Soap according to directions, and experienced a. change from the very first day; they worked wonderfully, and by their continued use for about five months I was completely cured. I have unbounded faith in the Cuticura Remedies. I regard the Cuticura Resolvent as the very best blood purifier; a trial will convrnce any one. The Cnticura Soap is the best in the market. andzcheap at twice its present price. I shall use no other for the toilet and bath. With the prevalence of skin diseases among us as a people (and they are the most difficult to deal with),I regard the Cuticura Remedies of more important and intrinsic value to the world than any other medicine now before the public.
