Was attacked by a cough, and at once
began to take a medicine much adver-
tised as an expectorant, and continued
using it until I had taken about six bot-
tles. Instead of giving me relief, it only
made me worse. I tried several other
remedies, but all in vain, and I don’t
think I had three whole nights’ rest
during my illness. I began to think that
Consumption
had laid hold of me, and my hopes of
recovery were all gone. I was a mere
skeleton, but a friend of mine, who had
been some time away, called to see
me. He recommended me to try Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral, and kindly sending
me a bottle, I took it, but with little
hopes cf recovery. I am thankful, how-
ever, to say that it cured me, and I am
to-day enjoying the best of liealth.”-- ,

A Bad One.
Some weeks ago Frank James told
the selectmen a pitiful story that he
was out of work, hungry and in need of
clothing. and that if he was furnished
with transportation. he would go to a
town in Massachusetts where he had a
sister living and’ where he could get
work. He was given food, a new cost
and a railroad ticket to the town he
had expressed himself as desirous of
going to. He sold the ticket, got drunk
on the proceeds, was arrested at South
Norwalk and sent to jail. His term ex-
pired Tuesday and he came back to
Norwalk. He again went to the select-
men with his tale of woe, but did not
receive much comfort from them.
James is a bad one, and as unscrupu-
lous as he is bad.

They All Do It
When everybody who was interested
in the matter supposed that a record of
the vote of the Connecticut presidential
electors was well on its way to Wash-
ington, State Secretary Phelon received
notice that if he wanted the United
States Senate to be informed of how
Connecticut voted he had better get
some stamps on a letter then lying in
the Hartford post office. The stamp;
were at once speeded down town, and
the letter which had been posted un-
stamped was properly prepared for the
mails. Nobody confesses to being to
blame for the mistake.—Courant.

bury, Birmingham and New Haven as-
sembled ata point not twenty miles
from Greens Farms, Tuesday to wit-
ness 9. meeting between two canines
owned respectively in Bridgeport and
Nor-walk, the prize being one hundred
dollars.
'1 he Bridgeport dog was a buckskin
and weighed 26 pounds, the Norwalk
dog was red and weighed 23 pounds.
The betting at the commencement of
the meeting was $15 to $10 on the
buckskin, but as the two dogs became
better acquainted with each other bets
were offered even on the red with no
takers.
The handler of the red dog was a
well known ‘Norwalk snort and the
handler of the buckskin was from New
Haven. The meeting lasted for some-
thing over an hour, and was finally
awarded to the Norwalk dog on a foul.

Advice To Hawl'ey'.
If General Hawley will bring him-
self into a little closer connection With
the men in the state who have been
With him in public spirit and in pa-
triotic effort from the first Bull Run
until very recently, he will re-establish
ms former popularity upon a firm
foundation and will lose nothing of the
true dignity which belongs to his high
position. It is not easy always to
cater to one’s constituents, but it is, to
a certain extent, the duty of every sen-
ator, a duty he owes to t 6 party which
elects him and to the men who depend
upon his good offices for proper atten-
tion and legitimate favors—Bridge-
port Standard.
Senator Hawley will be re-elected
now, without opposition. The agita-
tion against him had in it no spirit of
bitterness toward him personally, but
was based entirely on the needs of the
party. If Gen. Hawley will work
half as earnestly for the good of the
party as he did to bring about his own
election, the party will have no cause
to complain.-—Willmantic Journal.

Grade Crossings.
The laws of Connecticut require that
the number of- railroad crossings at
grade in that state shall be decreased
gradually, but‘ the report of the rail-
road commissioners shows that the
number of such crossings on one road
was increased last year by the addition
of 11. It is true that the whole num-
ber in the state has fallen from 1,157 to
1,140, but while certain companies have
complied with the statute, at least one
corporation has been permitted to vio-
late its provisions. Some years ago
the Connecticut .commissioners at-
tempted to defend their action in per-
mitting the construction of new and
dangerous crossing at grades by saying
the company so offending was poor and
ought to be assisted in order that it
might meet the competition of wealthy
rivals. That defense did not commend:
the wisdom of the commissioners to
the people. If the commissioners can-
not reduce the number of existing
grade-crossing traps, surely they ought
to prevent the construction of new
ones—New York Times.

Council Meetinm't
An adjourned meeting of the Board
of Councilmen was held last Monday at
the council chamber on Haviland
street. Mayor George Lockwood pre-
sided and the full board was present.
Bills to the amount of $93.48 were pre-
seated.-
Petitions for the position of Street
Commisswner were received from C.
L. J aides and Wm. H. Wilcox. Tabled.
Petition was received frOm residents
of Stuart mane for an electric light
to be plac‘ at the corner of
Place and Stuart avenue. Referred to
proper committee. .
The next business before the meet-
ing was the balloting for a Chief Engi-
neer of the fire department. The re-
sult of the ballot showed five votes
against Samuel McGowan’s confirma-
tion and one in favor. The clerk was
then instructed to communicate with
the secretary of the fire department,
asking that he call a. meeting of the de-
partment and have them, if they so
desired, present another name for the
consideration of the council before the
next meeting to be held Friday even-
ing, January 20th.
Nelson Taylor’s resignation as one
of the electric light commissioners was
received, read, and accepted With a
vote of thanks to Mr. Ta lor for the
efficient services he ha rendered.
Councilman Volk explained that Mr.
Taylor had accepted the position With
the understanding that he should. re—
sign as soon as the new plant was com- ‘
pleted. _ -
The meeting then adjourned until
Friday evening, J anuary, 20th, 1893, at
7.30 o’clock. '

Borough Meetings. _
AFTERNOON.
A tire was started in the building
known as the Town House, 'JIULIdLI)
morning, but the place was as chilly as
a freshly filled ice house when some
thirty odd voters assembled for the pur-
pose of laying a tax to provide for the
necessary expenses of the borough du-
ring the ensuing year..
Warden Sloan called the meeting to
order, at the same time thoughtuilly
suggesting thatas it Was decidedly chil-
ly those assembled keep their hats on.
The call for the meeting as promul-
. gated through the columns of the press '
was read by Clerk. Hubbell. He had
how‘ever scarcely finished before ex-
assistant borough clerk Lockwood arose
and questioned the legality of the doc-
ument as read, and asked if the warden
had a certified copy of the same.
Winfield S. Moody stated that he
had read the call as published and
thought it to be in conformity with the
law in the premises.
Mr. Lockwood then said I am here
in the absence of Mr. Hurlbutt, and as
his assistant, to perform the duties as
clerk, and have a certified copy of the
call in my possession.
He was courteously listened to after
which the Warden asked if there was
any remarks to be made on the subject
of the call.
John J. Walsh asked as to the in-
debtedness of the borough.
A suggestion was made that a 15
mill tax would be sufficient.
William Sheldon thought that an 18
mill tax ought to be voted. N o court
of burgesses, with but one exception
had ever been able to get through with
a ten mill tax and that six mills of the
proposed tax had already been appro-
priated for macadamizing Main street.
Thomas Motlullen made 11. motion
thata 15 mill tax be laid, which was
seconded by Mr. Moody.
Alfred E. Austin thought the bor-
ough should be more. economical.
Considered the Macdamizing of Main
street an unnecessary expense, but as
it had been Voted, of course 'it should
be paid for ; thought that in view of
the fact that it would take a six mill tax
to pay for the macadam a fifteen mill
tax was not extravagant. The motion
that a tax of 15 mills be laid prevailed
with but one dissenting vote.
A motion to adjourn then prevailed.
and the “sarcophagus" was quickly
emptied of the thirty odd voters who
stepped out chilled to the marrow but
with the proud satisfaction of a faith-
ful performance of.an imperious duty.
Strangely enough, though. no date
was decided upon for the levyingjof the
tax. —
EVENING.
A red hot stove greeted the large
number of Voters who assembled in the
evening, and the room was quite coin-
fortable, something that had not been
the case in many moons.
The meeting was called to order by
Warden Sloan, and the call for the
meeting, which was to approve or (118‘
approve‘ of a certain by-law passed by
the Court of Burgesses December 5th,
1802, was read by clerk Hubbeil.
Mr. John J. Walsh then presented
the followmg resolution : _ _
Resolved, That this meeting disap-
prove of the By-Law passed by the
Court of Burgesses, Dec. 5th, 1892, to-
wit:
Be it ordained by the Court of Burgesses of
the Borough of Norwalk: That Section one
(1) of Chapter VII of the By-Laws of the Bor-
ough of Norwalk. is hereby amended to read
as follows:
Snorion 1. The Court of Burgesses shall
appomt nor less than two nor more than six
members of a regular police‘force. each of
whom shall.hold officeduring good behavior.
That no member of said police force shall be
removed from office except for good cause
shown at a public hearing had during a law-
ful meeting of said Court. and that any mem-
ber of said force who is accused of misbehavior
shall be allowed to be present at such hearin
and he heard in his own behalf. And sai
Court of Burgesses shall appoint not more
than twenty-five special policemen. which lat-
ter shall act only as herein directed, and with-
out pay exce ting as herein expressly al-
lowed ; and s all also appomtsuch officers of
the two forces. from the members thereof re-
spectfully as it may from time to time deem
proper.
Borough of Norwalk. Conn., December 5th.
1892. Approved Dec. 5t? 1892.
JOHN D. IMMEY.
Warden.
The resolution was seconded by Mr.
Bernard C. Feeney.
The only one to remark on the reso-
lution was Alfred E. Austin, who said
in substance that it was a shame that
any such by-law had been passed at
the time it was; it was not in good
taste or justice; if passed at all it
should have been done at the begin-
ning of the year ; it was not right
either to the voters of the Borough or
the present incumbents of the police
force ; he hoped the resolution offered
by Mr. Walsh would prevail.
The ayes and noes were then called
for by Warden Sloan and the vote was
unanimous for the resolution.
The meeting then adjourned, and the
much talked of meeting was a thing of
she past.

could be read on the backs of envel-
opes, and the denomination of the
stamp would suggest as it were the
chapter in the story.‘ This would be of
service to schools and kindergartens,
children in their way being indefatig-
able stamp collectors. The suggestion
is made that a second edition be issued
of these Colombian stamps with the
order of issue revised in accordance
with this sequence idea.
The interest in these Colombian
stamps has exceeded expectations. For
forty years the highest stamp issued by
this government was a ninety-cent
denomination. Foreign. governments
have issued stamps of high denomina-
tions in the interest of collectors, 'but
this is the first issue onthe part of this
country.
thing over $16 for the entire Colombian
set, is regarded as rather exorbitant.
But, on the part 'of the government,
it has been .a lucky enterprise. Before
a stamp had left the press there were
orders amounting to $200,000 from
stamp collectors abroad to be filled.
It costs the government but seventeen
cents per thousand to print stamps.

“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
“If any one wants to knou 'j
how good your medicine i’s,'just
ref-or them to me. .
“ l was so low, people thought
I never, could get well again.
“The trouble was in my '
womb, causing bearing-down
and severe backache- I was so
nervous and irritable my people
could hardly 'live with me.
Sometimes I would almost fall
down, I was so dizzy, and how
I did lie awake nights! I
thought I' should go' crazy!
“But now all that is changed,
and I am a well woman. Iowe
all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound. Now, when I
do not feel just right, I take a
bottle of your
medicine and a;
box of your pills,
and they never
fail me.” .
