Honithton Clamors for Religions Freedom He Talks About a Hew Church Called the American Charcb A Characteristic Sermon. Union armory was stirred to its very depths yesterday afternoon by the eloquence of the Bev. M. H. Houghton, who preached in the drill room to an audience of about 200 persons. The preacher's clarion tones re sounded throughout the building, waking the echoes in the rafters and setting the flags that remain from last winter's carnivals all fluttering. Mr. Houghton was in his best humor and preached a thoroughly charac teristic sermon. He has lost none of his old- time power. None of that originality of view and quaintness of expression, none of that depth of thought and breadth of candor which has made him famous, are wanting in the sermons which he is now delivering on Sunday afternoon to the Second regiment. "I propose to speak to yon this afternoon," said the reverend gentleman after thanking his auditors for their generous presence and speaking of the members of the regiment who were "supposed to be present," "on the greatest question of modem times, religious freedom, or liberty of conscience, The text you will find in the thirty-second verse of the eighth chapter of the gospel of John, 'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make yon free.' Now the truth is the truth contained in the holy book. . It would seem that we had lived long enough to be rid of slavery, but we are not. If you go np to the First Methodist church you will find that they build a little wall around themselves and no one can get in nnless a presented faith is acceptable to him. Why, even in the Church of the Messiah where I used to preach some of the old deacons are as close and narrow-minded as any old fogy of a Presbyterian deacon. I tell you these things are all wrong, and don't you forget that. The time is coming when all men will be given religions freedom. And until every man, woman or child can say what he please and believe as he pleases without losing caste among the church members, or being looked down upon, I tell you there is no such thine as religious freedom. Ana men are be ginning to feel the truth of what I say. Men in the churches are really daring to take a little liberty. Even some of the good old deacons nibble off a corner of the creed here and there, and round it off to suit themselves. Some of the ministers in this place are not considered quite sound because they are tak ing a little religious freedom. "But a new church is to be formed. The last church has not -sprang up yet. Yes. thank God, the new .church is coming and it will be founded on the freedom of conscience. And I should call that church the American church. It will be run on the American idea of perfect freedom to all. A man should be able to say-what he wants to provided he don't interfere with every other lean's liber ty or impede his progress. "Why, I'll tell you how they do up in these churches. They let a man stay out in the world till he becomes good and then they take him in. If he should happen to get bad, they fire him ont into the world again and let him stay there. Then when he be comes good they take him in again. And he can't go in at aU if he should say, 'I don't believe in the Trinity, or in the total de pravity of the race' or if he says 'I never could swallow the miracles." It re minds one of what a minister once said at a funeral of a man who had lived an honest life, paid his debts and never cheated his customers, but had never joined the church or been baptized or anything of that sort. So the good man was terribly puzzled as to what to say. He couldn't send him up to heaven, because that wouldn't do at all. . Nor could he send him down to hell, because the man had been a good one. So after scratching his head and thinking a while he said: 'I don't know what to do with yon so I guess I'll mark yon C. O. D. and let yon go.' "And this new church must give more freedom to its members. We are on this perfectly gorgeous world to make the most of it. We imiht be as happy as we can and en joy ourselves all we can in any pleasure that is not incompatible with our mental and moral unfolding. I saw a report of a sermon preached by a minister in this town in which the man said, 'I would rather see my daugh ter dead than see her enjoying the social dance.' I don't know whether the preacher used that language or not, but I see my friend the reporter here and he looks honest. "Oh, my friends, let us throw off all these shackles that have bound us so long and be free. Let us hail with great joy the arising of a new church which shall give every man that religious freedom which he ought to have and which the good book says he will have when he finds the truth. And may God soon raise np a prophet who shall found such a new church." Entertainments. BUNNELL'S MUSEUM.

The World of Melbourne, Australia, in speaking of Louise Pomeroy, who will ap pear at the New Haven Opera House in the above play this and to-morrow evenings, says: Miss Louise Pomeroy commenced a short season at the Royal on Saturday even ing, when Boncicanlt's adaptation of "La Tentation," entitled "Led Astray," was pre sented. Miss Pomeroy's Armande is a per fect performance. She looks the character admirably, and her every motion is thor oughly expressive of perception of the author's meaning. No point was missed which would add to the complete satisfaction of the criti cal, and the artiste was deservedly called upon . to bow her acknowledgments upon many occasions. " , Ieetnre ToOHght at the Atheneum. This Monday evening at the Atheneum Bev. A. J. Palmer, M. A., will deliver his celebrated lecture "Company D, or the Die-no-mores," the true story of Fort Wagner. Mr. Palmer was the youngest man who en listed in the Union army, being only four teen years and six months'old at the time of his enlistment. He enlisted in a Connec ticut regiment, and was in Fort Wagner at the time of its capture. He is one of the most eloquent orators in this country, and all who have heard his thrilling lecture on the capture of Fort Wagner are loud in its praise. Wherever the lecture has been de livered it has produced a lasting impression, and added to the fame of its gifted author. At a gathering at Ocean Grove a few years since Mr. Palmer was chosen to make an ad dress. Among the numbers present was Gen eral Grant. So powerful and graphic were the utterances of the speaker that the multi tude were swayed by his eloquence. Gener al Grant was requested to respond, but that gentleman was completely overcome by the vivid, and burning words of the speaker, and could not . reply. . To-night the Atheneum should be crowded and doubtless will be. - - 4 A Grand Pair.

Jottings From City Fulpltar-Duty of Earnestness In Christians Eneonr agement to the Tempted Other Sug gestive Discourses Yesterday. A powerful discourse was delivered at the Humphrey street Congregational church yes terday morning by the pastor Bev. Mr. Bray. It was an earnest appeal for high spiritual liv ing and decided work in the Lord's vineyard. The church of Christ suffered when apathy prevailed among Christians and what spirit and inspiration is given the work when this apathy gives place to earnest zeal. . The apathetic, lifeless Christian may well be compared to a dead tree still possessed of its limbs and branches, but bearing no : fruit, or may also be compared to a tree without sap. which speedily withers. With life in the church, with- earnest, humble working Christians, self-denying and devoted Christians, the ark of the Lord moves onward and joy reigns in Christ's kingdom. With this spirit animating all the Christian churches what glorious work would be achieved and what a grand movement there would be along the lines against the powers of darkness. In the evening the Bev. Mr. Bray delivered a sermon full of suggestiveness and wholesome moral lessons upon the subject, "Before and after the bat tle ; or, lessons from the recent political con test." At Calvary Baptist church yesterday morn ing the large congregation present were priv ileged in hearing a discourse from Prof. E. Benjamin Andrews of Brown university on the subject, xne temptation or Jesus." The sermon was full of words of encourage ment to perseverance in well doing in the face of difficulties, trials and dangers such as human hemes are subject to, and tne exam ple of the divine master, who was tried and tempted in all points, yet without sin, was finely portrayed!. The same preacher officiat ed in the evening. Rev. Father Russell at St. Patrick's church. yesterday, spoke of the St. Patrick's fair now in progress and made a brief but pungent ap peal for a liberal patronage of the fair dur ing tne remaining days. Rev. Father Cooney, at St. John's church. announced a concert to be given at St. John's Hall, South street, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings by the Me.fc.voy combina tion, the object of which is to raise funds for church purposes. Crowded congregations, listened at ; the United church yesterday morning ana even ing to Rev. Ruen Thomas of Brookline, Mass.. a eifted preacher. On the altar table a vase of chrysanthemums of bright and varied colors overflowed like a fountain into shallow glass dishes on each side filled with the same bright colored flowers, while from the platform on each side of the table tall clusters of the same flowers reached to the height of the vase, one yellow, the other white. The organ recital, tne antnem, tne soprano solo and the singing of the well chosen hymns were as usual aamiraoiy given. Matthew xxiv 35, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away," was the text. These words of life were spoken with the emphasis and clearness which marked every syllable from the speaker. The prayer, the reading of the scripture lesson and the responsive readings, like the sermon itself, were so simple, plain and clear as to fix the attention of the hearers. The permanence, certainty and per petuity of true Christianity was the theme of the discourse. Rev. Mr. Thomas preached in the evening from JJaniel 4-SJS. Kev. JJr. Dex ter, of Boston, and Rev. Drs. Barbour and Todd, of this city, were present, also some who have heard the speaker in his own church in Brookline. Many stopped after tne sermon to speak with him. The text was tne self- gratulations of Nebuchadnezzar at his own greatness m the great .Babylon ne nad Duiiaed. A wonderfully vivid pen-picture was drawn of that great city, seventy miles in length,' two hundred square miles in extent, with walls around it on both sides of the River Euphrates three hundred feet in height, and streets upon them eighty feet wide, be sides palaces and hanging gardens. A most impressive moral lesson was drawn from God's dealing with this mighty prince m his seven years or punishment. The preacher showed that similar lunacy afflicts persons at the present day who at the same time have their senses and are otherwise rational. ' When Nebuchadnezzar looked up in prayer to the true God his senses returned and he became well. . The speaker showed forcibly that all vanity and conceit and self-praise, no matter if well de served, brings punishment and shame? while if the glory be all given to God, a just and eternal reward awaits him who achieves great good to his fellow men and himself. HOWAED AVENUE CHURCH. At the Howard avenue church last evening a special service was held which was attended by the Urotherhood of .Locomotive rjigi- neers. Addresses were made by the pastor and E. B. Dillingham, of Hartford. The ser vices were much enjoyed. CENTENARY OF JTIKTHODISIff. Interesting; Discourse fey Rev, Dr. J. O. Peck The Growth of a Great Protestant Denomination. Rev. Dr. Peck, of the Trinity .Methodist Episcopal church, delivered a very interest ing discourse yesterday morning on the Cen tenary of Methodism in the United States. The basis of his remarks was Isaiah, 60th chapter, 32d verse, "A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation; I, the Lord, will hasten it in his time." This magnificent prediction is the climax of one of the great messianic chapters of prophecy. This chapter of Isaiah, whose lips were touched and made burningly elo quent by a . live coal which a seraph flew and caught from the altar of God and press ed to the prophet's month, unfolds in un surpassable majesty and triumph the glory of the church of Jesus Christ in its culmi nating splendors, its mighty advances and its wonderful conquests. She marches into a world of darkness with a great light; the glory of God shining upon her. The be nighted peoples of earth come to the light; distant lands shall bow to the cross; they shall pour ont their gold and burn their in cense upon the altars of our God; wealth power and dominion shall flow to the church; conquest shall follow conquest; triumph shall crowd on triumph; the Lord shall be her everlasting light and thus the . "little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation." This prophecy of the universal church of God is proportionately true of any branch of the church, in the measure that that branch of the church ' fulfills the purpose of the universal kingdom. And in no division of the great army of the living God, the church universal, has the sublime prophecy of the text been more startlingly and historically fulfilled than in that popu lous denomination to which we are allied' Methodism. "A little one shall become thousand, and a small one a strong nation." A few years ago Congregationalism celebra ted on Plymouth Rock 250 years of history; and' last week the Protestant Episcopal church celebrated the centennial of the con secration of her first bishop, both sects by solemn services and eloquent eulogy com memorating these epochs. This is the cen tennial year of American Methodism. In a few weeks we shall have completed the first hundred years of organic life. It has been commended to all churches to commemorate the century of history. This is proper in it self. Besides, there are many in our congre gations who have not fully acquainted them selves with our history and progress as a church. . The four names that represent the mighti est moral and religious revolutions move ments, epochs in the Christian centuries are Paul, Luther, uaivin, wesiey. xneypiowea human society with furrows so deep that the centuries have not effaced them. They organized move ments for the elevation and religions en franchisement of man that sweep through time and history as great gulf streams whose warm currents modify the conditions and de velopments of all adjacent continents, . The last of these great epochal men, Wes ley, the gulf stream of wnose worg sweeps m warm and widening currents through Ameri can history, an influence warmer and wider than mat ot any oxner raugiwus Bsnjciwo; Wesley, the founder of Methodism and the apostle of new evangelical zeal in all other denominations, belongs in a special sense to ns, as Abraham did to the Jews. He was our father. A clergyman of the English church, a graduate of Oxford university, pro found in scholarship, wnn a gem us iur guy ernment," says Macauley, "not inferior to Richelieu," impelled by an unappeasable hunger of soul to enjoy the saving grace of God to which he was hitherto a stranger, as were most of the communicants of all church es in his day, he was converted one night .... - - , 3 .1 after he had been an orcuuxieu uwnjTuuui several years, and began at once his great life work of calling sinners to repentance and preaching "Ye must be born again." 1739 is the date assigned as the birth of Methodism in England. The condition of religion in England which demanded that God should raise up Wesley may be seen in these state ments: Isaac Tavlor. a churchman, says the r.iigiimi cnurcn was "an ecclesiastical system under which the people of England had lapsed into heathenism or a state hardly to 5 be distinguished from it," and that Metho dism preserved from extinction tne lan guishing non-conformity" (i. e. enure ties other than the established church) "which just at the time of the Methodist revival was rapidly in course to be found nowhere but in books." Isaac watts declares there was a general decay of vital religion in the hearts and uvea ot men," and exnorts "everyone to use all possible efforts for the recovery of dying religions in the world." Harrion says: "Almost all vital religion is lost out of the world." Arcnmsnop BeeKer said: "Uhns tianity is ridiculed and railed at with very little reserve." Bishop Butler wrote: "Chris tianity is no longer a subject of inquiry," but a subject "for mirth and ridioule." This was the decayed and dying state of vital religion when Methodism burst sudden ly into England as a divine force to restore primitive piety to the languishing churches of Christ. - So repugnant was evangelical piety to the reigning clergy that Wesley was shut ont of the pulpits of his own church and forced to take to the fields and commons and graveyards to preach to the people. Yet .Wesley, White field and their coUborers moved on, undaunt ed by persecution, mobs and obloquy, seeing multitudes converted, dreaming not of the purpose of God to lead on to the organiza tion of Methodism as a separate church. The movement spread with amazing rapid ity over the British Isles and culminated in the- Wesleyan church. In 1766, ten years be fore the Declaration of Independence, was the birth of Methodism in America. Among the emigrants from Ireland in 1760 appear two Methodists in New York city. . One a local preacher, Philip Embury, the other woman, Barbara Hick. This woman in 1766 went to Philip Embury and demanded that he should preach to their old neighbors, the Irish Wesleyans. She gathered four per sons m .Embury's house on Jtsarrack street, now Park Place, in New York, and there, to an audience of five, the first Methodist ser mon was preached, and at its close the first class was formed. The services were then held in a sail loft. - During the eighteen years following scattered societies were formed in several of the colonies, chiefly in Philadelphia, Delaware, Maryland and Vir ginia. In the city of Baltimore at Christmas the Methodist Episcopal church was or ganized by sixty preachers out of these isolated churches under Bishop Coke, sent by Wesley from England. At the conference Francis Asbury was elected bishop and began his heroic work, a work in which hardship, heroism and indefatigable toil were never so largely blended in any ecclesiastic m Amen- ca. la the hundred years since that organiz ation Methodism has multiplied and extended her sway with a rapidity and solidity un known in any other body of Christians since the apostolic days. Glance at some statistics which only partly tell the marvelous history which God has written by his grace: In 1776. Churches. Congregational, 700 Baptist . .380 Protestant-Episcopal. 300 Presbyterian 140 Methodist 34 1884. 'Churches.

In New England Methodism had no fair chance. The communities for generations had been preoccupied by other churches, pre-eminently the Congregational. Here it has had to contend against the prestige, wealth, social influence, and traditions of a denomination extending from Plymouth Rock. Nevertheless it is constantly gaining gronnd in JNew .England. Hut m the -West. Northwest and South where she had an equal opportunity in the development of new States, she has passed to the front rank. In some States, like Indiana and Iowa, Method ism enrolls more communicants than all oth er Protestant churches combined. Reckon ing three adherents to each communicant, and we have sixteen millions of the people of the United btates under tne influence ox her pul pits and Sabbath schools, or one-third of the Protestant population ox tne nation Surely this is a marvelous growth and proves that heaven's blessiDg has richly owned the precious work of a century. And this is more remarkable in the fact that Methodism has been the most rigid and uncompromising in her demands for a strict unworldly Christian life. She has never drawn metnbers from other church es because of her lax views or catering to the unsanctified desires of half-hearted Chris-' tians for social pleasures and amusements that destroy the spirituality of pure religion. She has lost thousands who have gone else where to fand more liberty for their luke warm and worldly indulgence in social pleasures, she has never been a stepmother, but a mother. With the amazing growth in members has come a corresponding growth in church edi fices, educational institutions and literature. One hundred years ago Methodism had scarcely any churches thirty all told. To-day thirty thousand. One hundred years ago no educational institutions. To-day hfty-two col leges, valued at eleven millions, besides over one hundred seminaries ot learning tor nigh er education. The Baptists have forty-six colleges valued at$10,300,000;Congregationalists,twenty-eight colleges valued at s,uuu,uuu; frotestant Episcopal, twelve colleges valued at $8,700,- 000: Presbyterians, forty-one colleges valued at $7,000,000. We have expended more for colleges and education than any other denom ination. In general literature, the produce of the Methodist book concern has been $35,000, 000; American Tract society, (N. Y.), $18, 000,000; Baptist Publishing board, $6,400,- 000; American Sible society, au,0W,000; American Sunday school union, $a,aoo,000; Presbyterian board, $5,a00,000; Congregation al board, $3,100,000. Here is nothing of glorification, but the historic record of a hun dred years we are reviewing. The speaker in conclusion treated the fol lowing sub-topics in explanation of tne pnil osophy of Methodism: 1st, it met the soul- hunger of dying men and proclaimed free and boundless mercy; 2d, it was a joyful re ligion; dd, it utilized all men and women; 4th, it preached Christ, and its sole aim was to bring souls to Christ; 5th, the mobility of its forces and the itineracy made it a power. CALK! CONTROL. Serenity And Composure As Con trasted With Testtnesa And Ebnl lltions of Anger Sermon At the First M. E. Chnrch. Rev. Dr. Goodsell at the First M. E. church preached a discourse last evening on the subject: "Christian Help for Besetting Sins Anger." The preacher with much force and power treated the subject, giving vivid and clear illustrations and inconcluding holding up the gospel cure for the disease. The preacher vividly pictured in a few, terse, vigorous words the hold which the besetting sin in question gains over its victims. Right eous anger and indignation were to be distin guished from sinful rage .and anger. The victim of guilty ebullitions of anger should be exceedingly careful not to confound these with righteous indignation. The speaker said he told the ladies yesterday at the Bible readings of the case of a man who fell into this error who when an unwelcome communication was made to him grew red in the face while his eyes flashed fire and his mouth assumed a tight, set. rigorous expression, buu tne an gered man did not speak. Then one fearing a storm about to Durst exciaimea sootmngiy, "Don't get angry." To which the man replied: "I am not angry, I am onlynrm." ft was in this way that frail humanity mistakes guilty qualities for innocent. Tne speak: er was of the opinion that people disposed to anger should avail themselves of friendly counsel and help in the cure of the vice, but the great radical cure was the grace of Uod. Confession to God of wrong done in anger should be supplemented by confession to those whom we nave injured. Be it even a little child - the confession should be made.. A case was mentioned of a gentleman who, enslaved by the vice in question, helped to break his chains by tak ing a short walk up stairs and down, if at home, before answering, if fearful he was about to explode in wratn. ne tnus aston ished his family greatly one day.

The gifted speaker grandly closed his address with a reference to a gentleman of wealth and position and great usefulness who had attained to calm Christian serenity through the grace of God, so that he was like the snow-capped high mountain serene at the top while black and lightning-charged clouds swirled and rolled beneath, : A Youthful Bettor. bov twelve years old came into this of- A fice last evening and said ha had just been paid an election bet of twenty-five cents.

Henry Ward Beecher, and Ad vises the People to dive Cleveland All Honor and Esteem Disappoint ment In Store for Hoodlums and Toughs. The Rev. Spencer H. Bray feels that he has been badly misrepresented in one of the mferning newspapers and he devoted some minutes to the work of setting himself - right in his sermon last evening. After stating the facts about the two recent sermons which were misquoted, the reverend gentleman looked at an innocent CouEna reporter who hadn't been inside his church for three months, and said, "If there is any reporter here to-night I hope he will take down what I do say and not what I do not say." Thus, incited, the re porter wrote away for dear life amid the indignant glances of those who sat near him. The texts were from Matthew 22-21 and Romans 13-7. - The preacher said: "We create kings in this country once in four years. Our kings -are born of ballots, not of royalty. It is a battle of ballots, not of bul lets. Perhaps it comes too often, but I don't believe it. Our fathers rho framed the constitution were very wise men. The safety of the country lies in the fact that the people have it in their power to change the administration once in four years. Our cam paign educates young men and foreigners. "Every Christian man and every minister has a bounden duty to have' something to do with the politics of the country. If an ad ministration is good, and wise it must be be cause Christian and moral men stand back of it. Some men are too good to have anything to do with politics. The place for. them is in heaven. It is the duty of ministers to see that polities shall be permeated with religion. Ministers who do not vote are guilty of neglect of duty. True, the pulpit is no place for partisan politics. But there are moral issues in every campaign that may be dis cussed. i'The past campaign was peculiar. At the very outset some men withdrew themselves from one party. I wish to say that, although I did not agree with those men, it is a great thing to have in any party men who are sen sitive, and who will not vote for iiny bad men, and the Republican party has reason to congratulate itself that it had such men who were keenly sensitive, honest and -upright. This is a free country. Those men had a right to do as they pleased. But I must here pay my respects to a minority who covered themselves with shame. It is a shame for any man to stand up and pro claim that a large part of our fathers and husbands and brothers are immoral. 1 chal lenge any man to produce the proof. They actually defend their chosen candidate by saying 50 per cent, of even the ministers were in the same boat. -They ought to know that every minister who steps outside the line of propriety is made to step down and out at once. "Admit all that was charged against Mr, Blaine and tell me what right has any man to stand face to face with the rabble and say, 'Gentlemen, you have kept out of office the biggest liar in the United States!' Such men had better read what Paul says about love. "Thanksgiving day is approaching and we have some things to be thankful for. One thing is that the dirtiest campaign ever known is ended. We stand face to face with the fact that Cleveland is elected. What of it. The White House is the throne and the man who occupies it is the king, made so by bal lots. All honor to the place and the man who occupies it. Mr. Cleveland succeeds a man who has made the best president this country ever had nnless we except Lincoln and Wash ington. He is a perfect gentleman. May his mantle of good sense and honest integrity fall on his successor. Grover Cleveland is on trial. We have nothing to do with his past, The people have condoned his offences. Let him have the confidence and prayers of the people. Any man who talks slightingly of him makes a mistake. A man who knows him well says he is a perfect Cato in his honesty. "There are some elements in this country that will be disappointed. The hoodlums and toughs will be grieved at Cleveland'i course. He will be a terror to evil-doers, and will dare to do his duty. I think there is no present danger to the business interests of the country. We must remember that there is an unseen hand guiding our country." WEST HAVEN. The John C. Anderson Shore) Res' ldence A lionely Campaign - Flag Increase of Business fhe Annual Quietude. The shore residence of Mr. John C. Ander son on Beach street, near the - Caleb S. Malt by residence, is fast nearing completion. The walls are roofed and the fancy tower which adorns the southeast corner is about finished. The interior work has been begun. The fin ishing inside will be very superior. The best materials both in brick and choice woods have been used. The building . ia a very handsome addition to the shore and is much admired. The fine Indian summer weather of the past few days has been improved by many in taking a drive along West Haven shore and further down along the coast of the Sound. The Blaine and Logan flag still waves in front of the postoffice, a reminder now of disappointed hopes and wasted red fire, but West Haven Republicans say that if the Democratic administration does not walk a chalk mark in the next four years they will go np Salt river immediately thereafter; 'also that they cannot do serious mischief with a Republican senate and with a plurality of only 1,000 in a national contest staring tnem in tne race and eyes. The West Haven horse railroad continues running its cars on the summer time table. Usually half the cars are hauled off in the latter part of October, but all the cars are still running on summer time and will con tinue to do so for the present. The increase of population along the line of the road gives the road a constantly increasing source of business. Mr. George R. Kelsey's health continues improved, enabling him to walk and ride out. The sea wall built of stone along Beach street in front or tne wnitiock. Uoodsell Law, Galbraith, Tyler and other cottages is nearly completed and makes a substantial barrier for the waves to break against, and is considered staunch enough to withstand the severest storms. The shore has returned to its annual de serted appearance. The sound of revelry, the noise ot .utniopean string-bands and bar rel organs, rolling tenpins, hurdy-eurdvs. brass bands, drum corps, multitudes of shouting bathers, etc., the clinking of cham pagne and beer glasses has given place to an intense quiet only broken by the occasional rattle of carriage wheels along the main drive or of some farmer's cart passing. PAIR HATEil. ' Notes of Life on Both Sldeathe Qnln nlplac. Most of the owners of trotting horses are having them clipped, claiming it is better for the steeds. Mr. Edward S. Dayton is making a suc cess with his skating rink which he recently opened in Clinton. Twelve oyster-dredge steamers were moored at the wharves in Quinnipiac river over the Sabbath. There were many who went to Hamilton Park on Friday to the race. Nelson Palmer's horse took first money. , ' A blacksmith shop has been opened in the building in the rear of Henry L. Parker's drug store. Mr. W. Pitt Niles has moved into his handsome new residence on Center street which he had built under his own supervis ion. Mr. A. H. Cargill, who has been quite in disposed, threatened seriously with pneumo nia, was much better yesterday and is in hopes to be out of doors soon. ' Conductor Bacon, of the Hartford division of the Consolidated road, has bought a build ing lot on Pine street, and will build thereon a residence for himself and family at once. Mr. Charles Hughes returned home on Sat urday from a short visit to Greenport and vicinity in Long Island. The chief engineer ana tne memoers of Hose Company No. 1 of the borough fire de partment have been invited to attend the annual concert and ball of Hook and Ladder company No. 1, of Meriden, on Thanksgiving eve. . ... New silk hats, coats, gloves, suppers, etc.. and giving up money wagered on the recent election are now in order. Two or three suppers take place this evening, paid by the losers. Several new hats, boots, and gloves can be seen on the - street for the next few days, and cigars will be quite plentiful. The Republicans concede the election; to the 3v2rtzil Notices. mm THIS WEEK OFFER SPECIAL. VALUES -Of WRAPS, CLOAKS, SUITS, SHAWLS AND MILLItiERY. BARGAINS FOR .

Catarrh Is undoubtedly caused by impure blood. Hence a medicine which purines the blood removes the cause of the disease and opens the way for a thorough cure. This is exactly what Hood's Sarsaparilla does, and it makes the cure complete by giving the system health and strength and enabling it to throw off the depressing effects of the disease. Catarrh Is permanently cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Mr. A. Ball, Syracuse, N. Y., says: "Hood's Sarsapa rilla has helped me more for catarrh and impure blood than anything I ever used." 'I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for catarrh and think it has done me a great deal of good. I recommend it to aU within my reach. Hood's Sarsa parilla has been worth everything to me." Luthjcb D. Robbins, East Thompson, Conn. Catarrh May be breaking down your health.
