Thursday morning the depression of that portion of the Fort Point road which passes under the new above- grade railroad bridge, wasflooded with rain water to‘ a depth of two feet or more, and pedestrians were obliged to wear long-legged rubber boots in order to get through. One gallant citizen at- tempted to carry a lady through the raging billows; but after reaching the deepest place, down they went to the bottom of the depression, and when they escaped, they presented the ap- pearance of a brace of half-drowned ro- dents.

A Spalding, of Hartford. who during his twelve years connection with the Hartford Evening Post, has compiled and published more than three thousand historical and biograph- ical sketches of the public men of this state. and is now preparing the first volume of a new “Illustrated Popular Biography of Connecticut," which will present in a concise and attractive form a very large number of biograph- ical sketches and portraits of the men who are prominent in business or pro- fessional life, or who are holding pub- lic positions in all portions of this state. The list will include state, county, municipal, town and school district officials. , the military, the clergy, the judiciary, merchants, man- ufacturers, artizans, business men, and whoever else among the inhabitants of the state may be conspicuous in local or general affairs, either public or private. The book will be a thoroughly popular and representative work, its chief aim being to familiarize the peo-. ple with the features, the characteris- tics, and the qualities of their fellow- citizens who are leaders and chief burden-bearers in all the active duties of life. It is expected that the volume, now in course of compilation, will contain several hundred illustrated sketches of Connecticut citizens. It will be hand- somely printed and bound, and cannot fail to be a valuable book of reference everywhere, as well as a source of great satisfaction to the gentlemen whose portraits and sketches adorn its pages. The precise date of its completion can- not now be announced. The details of the work are being pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped to have it ready for delivery early in 1891.

On Sunday evening last he attended Dr. Van Alstyne’s church, and listened to a most interesting and instructive discourse on “Euchre, W'est Avenue and Heaven.” Mr. Wilson was so impressed by the force of the doctrine laid down by the good Doctor, that he could not be held wholly responsible for his next morning’s experience in G. Franke‘s barber shop. Mr. Wilson entered the shop and after waiting for six other customers to have their hair cut, responded to .Gus’s wink and peremptory call of “Next!” \Vhen this welcome word came, Grover dropped the New York Tribune, pulled off his overcoat, unpinned his diamond necktie, took off his high standing collar and took the chair. “Why don’t you take off that high col- lar?” queried Mr. Franke. “Why, bless your heart,” responded Grover, with an expression of countenance in- dicative of both pity and amazement, “I have just taken it off, and if you have your eyes about you, you can see it hanging over the collar of my over- coat up there on your hat rack.” Franke glanced in the, direction indi- cated and, sure enough, there was a high dickie collar astride of Grover’s overcoat on the rack. He looked again at Grover, then cast another furtive glance at the hat rack and asked. “For heaven’s sake! how many collars do you generally wear at one time?”l Grover promptly re- sponded, “Only one, by ginger!” then looking in the glass he observed that he had a collar on as high as the one he had taken OE, and with an ex- clamation of disgust, he remarked: “Well,'I’ll be jiggeredl if I haven’t gone to work and put on a clean collar right smack over another one without knowing it—but that was a mighty interesting discourse on, Euchre,‘just the same. ” The Kickapoo Indians are now kick- wich.

By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of. the Eus- tachian Tube. When the tube gets in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire- ly closed Deafness is the result, and un— less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
