Raising a Breeze !
We might wait a month and let No
vember do it, but we don't propose to
let even the weather get ahead of us,
this season. The winds which now
scatter the falling leaves about your
feet, will soon gain strength enough
to tackle you. The whistle they now
make is A NOTE OF WARNING- Take
heed to it. Before the frost strikes
home provide against its attack by
warmer and heavier raiment

MATTERS OF BUSINESS.
In using Ayor's hygienic coll'ee, don't
make it too strong. Grocers sell it.
Just look and see what Meigs it Co.
of Bridgeport are saying about over
coat?, this week.
Grand sale going on down at W. B.
tirecn s uirmmgnum score, won t miss
it.
Constipation i.s the parent of innumer
able diseases, and should, therefore, be
promptly remedied by the use of Ayer's
cathartic pills. These pills do not
gripe, are perfectly safe to take, and re-
move all tendency to liver and bowel
complaints.
Tobacco is injurious! stop it by taking
Hill's chloride of gold tablets. All first
class druggists sell them.
It is strange that some people will
sutler for years from rheumatism rather
than try such an approved standard
remedy as Ayer's sarsaparillc ; and that
too, in spite of the assurance that it has
cured so man' others who were similarly
ti III it-toil . (iive it a trial.
Burr A Kuapp of Bridgeport would
respectfully call the attention of our
readers to the fact that they are pre
pared to supply steamship and railroad
tickets to all parts of the south. If you
contemplate a southern trip remember
this fact.
Children's overcoats from 1)8 cents up
to can be found at Levy Brothers, the
Iatibu;y clothieis.
Winter caps of every description at the
lowest prices at i.evy Brothers, the Dan
bury clothiers.
Winter underwear, hosiery and gloves
the best and the cheapest at I.evy Borth-
e rs . ,
Children's faun'Jeroy suits and reefers
at I.evy Brothers.
When you see a lady with a stylish
cloak on and think how well she looks
remember that Treat & Starr, the enter
prising dry goods house of New Milford
keeps a line assortment of these goods
"Where are you going my homely
maid?" "To Baldwin & Standish shoe
store, sir," she said, "For if I wear shoes
that are stylish and neat they wont see
my face, but will look at my feet."'
THIS PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
The Patrons of Pohtatuck grange are
requested to bear in mind that at the
next meeting, November 7, they are ex
pected to contribute to a "Question box."
Some interesting readings are expected,
and a paper upon the World's fair.
Some of the recipes that accompanied
very excellent samples at a previous
meeting are asked for.
Lemon pie, made from the following
recipe, was delicious : Line a pie plate
with crust and bake. Mix one cup of
sugar, two tablespoonful corn starch,
and one cup of boiling water, and boil
10 minutes. When cool, add the yolk
of one egg, and grate in the lemon and
pour on to the crust. Beat the the white
of the egg, add three tablespoonfuls of
pulverized sugar, spread on top, return
to the oven to lightly brown.
Layer cake, dark and light. For the
light: One-half cup of butter, one of
sugar, one and a half of flour, half a cup
of sweet milk, whites of four eggs, one
heaping tablespoonful of baking powder
sifted with the ilour. For the dark: The
yolks of four eggs, one cup of molasses,
one-half cup of butter, one-half of milk,
one teaspoonful ginger, one of cinnamon
and one-half teaspoonful soda.
Boiled icing for filling : Boil one cup
of granulated sugar with four table
spoonfuls of water until it drops from
the spoon in threads. Have ready the
beaten white of one egg, and pour the
syrup into it, beating all the time. Fla
vor and spread on the cake while warm
Accompanying the following recipe
were several samples of what seemed to
be different kind3 of very nice cake, all
made from the same recipe, of which the
lady wrote : "I think I use it oftener
than any other, because it is easy, bo
quick to make and bake, and plain, light
and cheap." Break two eggs in a tea
cup and till up with sweet cream; one
cup of sugar, one and one-half of flour,
one and one-half teaspoonful of baking
powder, a little salt. For the frosting
take boiling water and stir in powdered
sugar till the right consistency to spread
well. This is nice for layers with cocoa
nut, chocolate, lemon, jelly, or any fill
ing one chooses to use. . '
Potato salad: Boil eight good sized
potatoes in slightly salted water. Do
not boil too soft. When cold cut in
cubes and pour over them this dressing.
Boil two eggs a half hour or until the
yolks are mealy. While the yolks are
still warm mash with them one teaspoon
ful mustard flour, one teaspoonful salt,
one-half teaspoonful pepper, butter size
of half an egg. When these are well
mixed add, a little at a time, a half tea
cup of cream and a half teacup of vine
gar. A little very finely cut onion or
onion juice added to the dressing im
proves it for most people.
SUCCESSFUL GARDENING. -One
of the citizens of the town "who
always has a famous garden Is Charles
F. Beardsley, and just now he is enjoy

Mr Beardsley's boys, Clarence and Paul,

Milford, where he is employed. During
the strawberry season he supplied many
of the families in the Street and shipped a
good many crates to New Milford. Mr
Beardsley raised the various garden pro
ducts in their season, and his boys found
many willing customers. While Mr
Beardsley's succss at gardening may not
be phenomenal, he always calculates to
have an early garden and by diligent
cultivation, the results are always the
best. His time being fully occupied in
his business, he is able to give little time
to it, other than to supervise the work.
His garden has a floral corner also, his
pansies and other out-door flowers,
always eliciting the admiration of all be
holders.

WESTON-
OUE HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.
When, three Sundays ago, in the Sab
bath school, it was proposed to give a
Harvest Home festival, some thought it,
with our small school, and comparatively
small church attendance, a big under
taking. However, it was decided, all
all present agreeing to do their best, that
we would undertake it, on Thursday and
Friday evening of the first week in No
vember. Consequently here we are, at
the old familiar parsonage, where foi mer
ly many a "goodlie. companie" has as
sembled, and where we hope many an
other will in the future. To you our
friends and patrons, we now address our
selves, knowing that on your goodwill
and generosity, depends, in a great meas
ure, the financial success of the enter
tainment. Of the former we are thor
oughly assured. Of the hitter we have
had many and substantial people in the
past, so we trust to you .to uphold and
sustain the reputation for liberality and
open heartedness which the people of
Weston, and particularly those of the
old parish of Norfleld have hitherto en
joyed. You see around you the results
of our labors, and of our very bet beg
ging efforts. If our fancy table with its
many fancy articles strikes your fancy,
the lady in charge will be happy to ex
change any of them for whatever change
you may wish to invest. If it takes a
more practical turn you can gratify it by
the purchase of any ot the useful, if not
strictly ornn mental articles, kindly con
tributed by our farmers and merchant'.
We know that the ready sale of all such
will be highly gratifying to the donor",
as well as beneficix to us. At our lunch
table you can "pay your money and take
your choice" of the many ports of cake
and confections, which the ladies of the
society have provided for the refresh
ment of the "Inner man." It is expected
that this table will be specially patron
