He attended the schools of his native town, and at an early age began to assist in carrying on the farm. Having grown to manhood, he acquired posse? ion of the homestead by purchasing the interests of the other heirs, and assiduously continued the cul tivation of the soil and the improvement of the property. His untiring energy being well directed, his labors have been rewarded with success; and he his added to his estate till he now owns up ward of (100 acres of finely located land.

AN EARNEST ADVOCATE OF TEM I'EKANCK "Woodbury's apostle of temperance" is a title which might be appropriately given to the genial blacksmith, M. F. Skelley, who for i years has pounded the anvil in this town. His voice is fre quently heard in the temperance meet ings in this town, and he is not afraid to state plainly where he stands.,. Mr Skel ly is a member of the Catholic Total Ab stinence I'nion of Connecticut and was for thrte years treasurer of that organi zation. He is also a member of the Na tional Caiholie Total Abstinence Union of America, and was a delegate to the national convention in New Haven in August, ls."i. lie hates intemperance in all its forms, and is auxiou3 to see the power of the saloon on the wane. What is netded is more men of Mr Skelly's stamp in all the towns, then there would be not the spirit of deadness on temper ance. It is strange so many people are afraid oi this question, when the liquor iralUc is ruining hundreds of men every year. Three cheers for Mr Skelley, and may he live long to wave the temperance The I'.x-asles still hold their own up r.ov.n. Members of the family of X. M.

Hatch, whieh has recently been improved and renovated. Mrs Hatch formerly resided on the New Milford road west of the Center, but wishing to be near her son, who is of the enterprising firm of Mallett & Hatch, she came to Bridgewater Cen ter, bought I he Sarah Treat place and hH3 had.it rejuvenated. The painting was done by Daniel Wheeler and the carpen ter work by Philo Wooden. Mrs Hatch enjoys her new home and the people of the Center are gratified to have her in their midst. Mr and Mrs George Erwin spent Sun day in Bethel. Dr Bostwiek entertains his mother from Brooklyn. Rev Mr Wallace occupied the Congre gational pulpit, Sunday.

CHUUCH AND PERSONAL TOPICS. Every river has its eddies, so every day has its neap tide and flood tide. Health gives place to sickness. The grip and measles arejwith us. Fanny Humphrey, on her second year as teacher In South east Cornwall, was suddenly taken with the grip, attended with paroxysms of coughing quite remarkable, has been un der her mother's careful nursing, and was able to ride home on Wednesday of last week. There is some prospect of her being able to resume her school again in a week or two. Ella Eaton is down with the measles in the Northeast dis trict. Some of the families have taken their children out of school to the great discouragement of the teacher, Miss Patterson, who has succeeded in gather ing a very large school for the district. The measles are never a welcome guest, however favorable the season may be. Many people are reluctant to run into them, for sometimes it requires years to outgrow the effect of them, even with the best of care. The same disease is also in the College Farms district. Johnnie Angevlne wa3 better at last report and it is hoped he will soon be on his feet again. Passing along the banks of Lake) Waramaug, last Wednesday niorniug, at ' an early hour, one was deeply ira- pressed with the beauty and grandeur of the scenery. The lake itself was per fectly tranquil and reflected in its com pleteness tlie whole outside world along the margin. Such a picture is seldom seen and would indeed have paid the connoisseur or even the lover of nature for a long drive to look upon a scene so magnificent. Returning along the same road, the trance was broken, since the bosom of the lake was rullled by the wind. Rev Mr Evans of New Preston occu pied the pulpit here on Sunday, on the interesting subject "Seeking a Country." The words of the text are found in Heb. 11th. People in going to church found it dry and dusty. All were anxious for rain. A few drops fell about 9 a. m. No more during the day in this immediate section The sun looks red and fiery. The rain, however, will come, and sooner perhaps than we now think. In Fairfield County. BRIDGEPORT. TOO MUCH RUM FOK ITS JOOI. The rum dealers of this city are not having everything their own way, as the past week all entrances to living apart ments above saloons have been boarded up; also the Kalamazoo and nickel in the slot gambling machines have been tsken out and the s iloon keepers lined :1U apiece. Pet the good work go on ! More than 20 have gone out of the hui ness and when a bill similar to the Raines bill in New York is pas sed in this state t mse who remain in the business will have to conform with the law or go out of tlie bu iness. In fact, Bridgeport Ins always had too much rum for i s own good. The Traction Co. are laying a double t rack from Washington Park to Beardsley Park, and will have cars running to the park by alemorial day. This is good news as many hundreds have wished to visit this park, but have never had an ac ces- ible and cheap way of getting there. W II. Joslyn is having a large pavil i n built at Bearsley Park to accommo date menagerie, aquarium and curios. He is also fitting up the ice cream and lunch pavilion in good shape as now the vi'itors to this beautiful rural park is expected to be very iarge this sum mer. Fahlield avenue is being widened, which makes the walks rather narrow. The improvement was n eded as trallic on this avenue is cry large; at the same r.ime the Cili.en.s Gas Co. are putting in 12 inch mains to supply gas for heating and cooking purposes ai less cost to con sumers than coal. Hydraulic Engineer Hallock is having many calls and inquiries regarding high duty turbine water wheels. Any one contemplating putting in a water wheel should write Mr Hallock for prices. Also hot air pumping engines which are low in price, and more reliable than wind mills during an seasons or trie year. Twelve new open summer trolly cars h ive arrived for the Traction Co., of the latest designs, for use cn Noble avenue and Sea View avenue, as the new ferry at the foot of Sea View avenue for Pleas ure Beach will increase travel on this line more than double. The highway from East Bridgeport to Stratford has been macadamized and is now in good order, being a much needed improvement. The latest report is that the Milford Electric Railway Co. have sold out to a firm in New York, and the road will be built at once from Wood mont on the east to Burn'3 Point and Washington Bridge on the west. This will give a through line from Southport to New Haven touching all the summer resorts' along the Sound. This will be THE STUDIOUS GIRL. AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM YOUNG LADIES' COLLEGE. ECace TSetween the Sr8 for Education. Healtft Impaired by Incessant Study. The race between the sexes for edu cation is to-day very close. Ambitious girls work incessantly studies, and are often "brought to a halt, through having sacrificed the phy sical to the mental.

Head ache, dizziness, faint- ness, slight vertigo, pains in the back and loins, irregularity, -L loss of sleep and appetite, nerv ousness and blues, with lack of confidence ; these are positive signs that wo men's arch enemy is at hand, The following letter was received by Mrs. Pinkhamin .llay, one month after the young lady had first written, giving symptoms, and asking advice.
