Lawrence Canlleld was a mere child
when his father died. 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

of the property. His untiring energy
being well directed, his labors have been
rewarded with success; and he his

choicest kinds of fruit trees, and he is

WOODBURY.
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

ter, bought I he Sarah Treat place and
hH3 had.it rejuvenated. The painting was

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.

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

news as many hundreds have wished to

The improvement was n eded as trallic

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

Hydraulic Engineer Hallock is having

The highway from East Bridgeport to
Stratford has been macadamized and is
