monthly meeting, Monday evening, and
cousrdered favorably the invitation from
Port Chester to parade with the depart-
ment in that place next month.
Mr. Harry Smith, of Saugatuck, who is
in his 79th year, started last week for
Sheffield, Iowa, to visit his son, Aaron
Smith,who lives in that town. He arrived
‘ there Saturday and expects to remain four
weeks. Mr. Smith had hitherto been only
short distances from home, and a journey
of this magnitude seemed to be a great
undertaking. He Went via Washington,
D. C., where he saw for the first time
where “Uncle Sam‘s” chief managers do
their work, and, traveling by through
express trains and palace sleepers, con-
cluded that going west is not so very
tedious after all. It is expected Mr.
Smith will come back impressed that
Connecticut is one of the best states in
the Union.
A regatta by invitation, in which twenty
or more crack pleasure yachts will com-
pete, will be sailed today (Wednesday)

Thorpe, in Bridgeport, Saturday.
Mr. Ira F. Stringham, of New York,
spent Sunday with Miss Hattie F. Nash.
All the village clergymen were in their
pulpits Sunday. Some of them showed
browned faces, the result of sumcr out-
ings by the seaside and elsewhere, and all
presented new and timely thoughts in
their sermons.
The republicans and democrats held
caucusses, at Sturges’ Hall, respectively
on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and
chose delegates to the state, con-
gressional, senatorial and probate conven-
tions. and named their town committees

business.
William L. Blascer, of Norwalk, and
Miss Estelle Penoyer, daughter of Henry
Penover, were married in Port Chester,
N. Y., a few days since. Their future
home will be in Norwalk.
An item in the last issue of the West-
porter announcingnhat “Twenty-six years
ago yesterday Gen. George B. McClellan
was nominated for the presidency of the
United States” would have been more
complete had the paper added, “and less
than two months later Gen. U. S. Grant
was triumphantly elected by the republi-
cans.”
Miss Jessie Keeler, assistant at the vil-
lage post office, has returned from a two
weeks’ vacation in the town of Valatie,
N. Y.
Some idea of the extent and significance
of the grading being conducted at Saiiga-
tuck, west of the depot, by the New York
&New Haven railroad can now be had
by a visit there. No point along the
whole line of that great road can show an
improvement so marked. The fame Of
nature has been entirely changed and
Saugatuck looks like a new place.
Funeral director Charles Fable used a
white hearse for the first time on Tuesday
of last week, at the funeral of a child of
Mr. and Mrs. Warren Bradley, of. Weston.
Its presence struck all withihe idea of
appropriateness.
The Saugatnck Historical society held
its regular monthly meeting in the library
of Staples’ High School, Saturday.
Mrs. Mary E. Jones, of Stamford, who

NEWCAN‘AAJV. j
The great event of last week was the
celebration of labor day. People who
have an idea that this town has gone to
seed and to sleep had their eyes opened.
There was a parade, which had it been
stretched out for show as is done often in
New York, would have been over a mile
long. There was an excellent band of
music, and the speeches by Mr. Hill and
Mr. Bohanan of Stamford, were fine exhi-
bitions of oratory. in an appropriate
speech Mr. Kidd presented a flag to the
Center school district, and Mr. Gardner
principal of the school made agracefui
reply accepting the same. Altogether the
day was a complete success. Generous
provisions was made as usual by the
ladies, of cake, sandwiches, biscuits etc.,
and every one had a good dinner. The
United Order of American Mechanics,
under whose auspices the demonstration
was carried out, have brought themselves
into deservedly popular notice and will
doubtless gain many members.
Rev Mr. Scofield of the M. E. church
will take a two weeks vacation.
The Young People’s society of the Con-
gregationai church, Will give the first
entertainment in Raymond’s Hall, when
the presentrepairs and improvements now
being made to the hall are completed. If
all who follow this society take as a model
the entertainment soon to .be given, New
Canaan will have the best kind of amuse-
ment of any place in the state.
The Open windows and inviting doors
of St. Mark’s cheerful rectory indicate
that Rev. Mr. Neide and his wife have
returned from a pleasant vacation.
The contract for a hot water heating
apparatus has been given to the HOpson,
Cliapin Manufacturing Co , of New Lon-
don, by the Congregational church.
On the last Sunday in August every
resident pastor was away from his own
pulpit. Mr. Cliappcll, of Silver Mine,
exchanged with Mr. Kidd. of the Baptist
church; Mr. Scotield exchanged with a
brother minister in Noroton ;‘ Mr. Hon-
drick, of North Carolina, was at St Mark’s ;
Mr. Hopkins was in Providence at the
Beneficient Congregational church, and
Dr. Dunning, of South Norwalk, filled his
place very acceptably. '
Mr. L. M. Monroe has done great things
for our post office, but he will deserve'the
everlasting thanks of the whole borough
if he succeeds in getting what he is now
after—a free delivery service in the bor-
ough-limits. As he usually accomplishes
what he undertakes, it is pretty safe to
reckon that one more indication of our
march of progress will be the tramp of the
letter carrier three or four times a day.
Mr. George E. Banzhof has moved his
stove and tin ware business 'to the new
brick building he has just completed.
Crissey’s, meat market. will occupy» the
store just vacated by B a
Mr. J. F. Silliman has lost the hand-
somest young man in town that is, Mr.
Elbert Brinckerhoflf. If Elbert proves as
good a judge of beefsteak as he was of
groceries, and if he carries into his new
relation that winning smile that of old he
wore, Crissey’s meat market will boom.
From the] operations going on at the
north side lof Ostrandet’s jewelry store
one might infer pipe was being laid to
connect with the water main of the New
Canaan water works.IBut that cannot be
for tliev'water works have not yet proceed-
ed farther thanthe map and charter.
Comparisons will be made, of course,
and the comparison made between the
Speeches of Mr. Hill and Mr. Bohanan, on
Labor day, results in giving the palm to
Mr. 8., although it is not a little difficult
to say in just what particular one excelled
the other. both were so good.
The best music this season in the
Congregational church was heard Sunday
morning, the 3lst.
present, and the choir had the advantage
of Professor Ferris’ voice in singing, he
kindly inviting Mr. Huntington, organist
of a Newark church and a very fine player.

Others soon will follow, but the old town
will not Settle down to a humdrum exis-
tence. There is too much determination
to go ahead here for that.
Acaucus of’ each political party has
been called to make nominations for town
and other officers. It is very likely that
things will be quite lively in political
circles this year. The Messenger sin—-
nounces editorially this week. that unless
men of» capacity are nominated a citiZens
ticket will be put in the field. It declan s
that the'men and measures good enough
for 1880 will not do for 1890. The nomi-
nees who will get there must be men of
brains and push, and in touch with the
spirit of progress which has come upon
us. ,All of which is very good," sound
and wise, and it is hoped such ideas will
prevail and win. ' '
The secrets of secret socities are not
likely to leak out in this town if Mr.
Nicholls can help it. In the rooms he
would like to rent for-lodge rooms over his:
new Opera House-,he'hasvuscd a kind of2
sound proof lineing, and ear droppers
cannot hear the faintest whisper through
it. Free Masonry may draw a breath o
relief. It is perfectly safe. -
If the young people of the Congréna-
.tianal church succeed as they . hope to
with their coming entertainment, it will
not be very long before a faithful clock
will indicate the flight of time from the
spire of the church, and then, perhaps
some in the town will keep more regular
hours.
Mr. John Thatcher obedient to the
Borough ordinance and to the best inter-
est of the Borough, is among the first if
not the very first to commence laying not
a gravel (otherwise known as dirt) side-
walk, but a first class concrete walk.
May his good example find many imita-
tors.

failed to understand or cure. Three years ago last
fall my son Went to Sacramento, Cal., and after
two or three months he broke out With a humor
on his stomach and back, suffering very much.
He employed three different doctors, and at last
they told him to go back to Maine, as his disease
was caused by change of climate, and he could
not live in California. He wrote that he Was
coming home, for he was dying With a humor that
the doctors could not cure. wrote him to get
some Cuticura Remedies and take according to
directions, and bathe freely with Cuticura Soap,
and in four weeks after no not my letter he wrote
me that he was entirely cured. He came home a
few weeks ago on a visit, and is at home now.
His health is good. I have recommended these

that would not yield to doctors’ medicines, and in
