CIRCULATION : aouary 1. 1882. 610 Last Weak. 8100 Litchfield Couaty New?. NEW MILFORD THE BURNING OF MC NAM ARA S EI.KVA- TOR. The largest cocflsgration since the burning of the factory of the New Mil ford Button Co., July 15, 1889, took place here Friday about 2 p. m., by the burn ing of Noble Bennett's grain and feed elevators. '.The building and its contents, grain, feed, hay and coal, were totally consumed and the heat caused by the flames was excessively hot, making it very diflloult for the firemen to even pro tect the buildings close by the one in flames. It was thoughts certainly that the large double house occupied by Mich ael McNamara and W illiam G. Lathrop with their families must burn with the elevator, but by .the hard work of the rlremen it was finally saved. The house hold furniture of both the above named parties was taken out of tbeir respective residences and piled in heaps and scatter ed promiscuously in the orchard on the hill near Andrew M. Booth's store. The sight to witness the throwing out house hold c fleets from the upper stories of the dwelling was pitiable to behold and the Injury caused by the hasty work to the articles was lamentable. But every one did the best they could under the circum stances. Had it been left in the building it would have been ruined by water and steam. The many friends of both the McNamara and Lathrop families deeply sympathize with them in their unfortu nate situation. The house will have to be thoroughly repaired before they can get things back into it and assume its formei homelike condition. The eleva" tor building was owned by Mr McNa mara and was insured for $7000. The grain and Contents of the building were the property of Noble Bennett and his in surance Is reported at $4000. The lat- ter's loss must be quite in excess of his insurance and it is also probable that McNamara's loss will be quite a consid erable above his insurance. The burning building created intense excitement and drew a large crowd of people to the scene to witness the destruction by the elements. The firemen worked heroical ly and are deserving much credit for their gallantry. Fortunately no one was in jured but the rlremen were a sorry look ing lot of men after their labors were over. "The day was a quiet one, there be ing no wind to fan the flames, which was fortunate for the owners of nearby prop erty. The double house is the property of Noble Bennett and we presume the damage to It by the fire Is covered by In surance. After.the fire had spent Its fury the tall brick chimney was left standing and fearing that a wind might rise and blow it down it was deemed advisable to take it down and this was done by plac ing a chain around its base and attaching a railroad locomotive to it which cut the chimney and let it down as nice as could be wished. This fire was the second alarm during the week. The first alarm was at the New Milf ord Hat Co.'s works, caused by a gasoijne tank catching fire, calling out the firemen. Fortunately no great damage was done. OTHER VILLAGE NOTES. Pliny Squires came in from the north, last week Thursday, with a car load of rlne horses and he has already disposed of more than half of them.

Grip colds are still quite prevalent here and many are "swallowing quinine pills to beat the band." The latest victim is Mrs W. F. Kinney. Those who have had It for the past few weeks are now recu perating and it Is hoped that with spring weather and a little more sunshine the grip will soon be a thing of the past. Mrs George McMahon is quite 111 with an attack of the grip at the residence of her son-in-law, George W. Anthony. Dr George E. Staub is attending her. Mrs Charles C. Smith and Mrs H. L.

We were informed last week that on March 20. J. B. Stillson will withdraw as partner in the meatmarket here and Robert H. Armstrong will for the year to come be the sole proprietor. Mr Stillson will devote all his time to farm ing and buying and selling cattle. No tices have already been put up in the market that from March 10 a strictly cash business will be done there, thus laying aside the journal and ledger. Mr Armstrong has rented for the year to come, as a home, Maj Burnbam's cot tage on Lake street with the barn on opposite side of the street also owned by Maj Burnham. We bespeak for Mr Armstrong a good trade in this vicinity as he has been so favorably known for years here in the same capacity. At the same time we shall miss Mr Stillson's pleasant face from the block and counter. Mr Stillson for nine years has faithfully endeavored to serve the people with as well supplied market of meats, vegeta bles, etc., as has ever been kept here. During the past four years he has with all of us realized the stringency of money, and the consequent unpleasantness of conducting a business with this hinder ance, and we cannot blame Mr Arms trong at the start for adopting the strictly cash system in his business. We hope he will in this respect succeed. Mr Stillson will still be found here most of the time at his home ready to purchase anything in the line of his stock and perhaps produce also. Mrs Horace McCann is among the latest victims of the measles here, being confined all of last week to her home. Miss Laura Burnham is still unable to venture out of doors on account of a se vere cold. Mrs George S. Lyman still continues seriously ill. Mrs Frank S. Brown was in New York city during the latter part of last week and remained over last Sunday.

Ackley and which was the best draft team in this place. Mrs John Erickson was ill at her home last Sunday, requiring the attend ance of Dr Marcy.

Dougal emerged from his residence last week, after a confinement of several days with a severe grip cold. Mr and Mrs Oliver Hartwell of New Milford vUlred their relatives about Lakeside duing the laft three days of last week. F. S. Brown and John H. Ferris as assistant were engaged most of last week at repairs at the Loomarwick Inn at Lakeside. News reached here on Wednesday of last week that Charles Jones of this place was again ill at his boarding place in Hartford and bis brother, Clarence, joined him there on Thursday. During the fatal sickness of D a Burc- ham's horse on Mondav night of last week H. E. Warner irj tired one hand and wrist seriously, which incapacitated him from labor the rest of the week. Mr Warner and wife on Saturday moved into the hou?e owned by Carl E Johnson and re cently occupied by the late Milo Par sons. Mrs Wedge vi-ited part of last week with her daughter, Mrs Arden Tanner, in Warren. Mrs F. J. Hosford passed last Sunday and Monday in New York city, with friends. One of Kenney & Hosford's best horses was taken ill on the road east of Merryall on Saturday and had to re main at Edgar Peet's over last Sunday, which kept Mr Hosford and two or more men there until the animal was able to come home. WARREN. THE EARLY HISTORY OF WARREN. At the regular meeting ot the Grange on Tuesday evening, the subject was "History of the town, with incidents and anecdotes of the life of the pioneer settlers." War. en was set off from Kent by an act of General Assembly of the State at Hartford, the 2nd Thursday of May, 1786, in consideration of a memorial of the inhabitants of the town of Kent by tbeir agents Josiah Pratt and Eleazer Curtiss. Only one representative was allowed the town. The first town meet ing was held June 27, 1786. Jedediah Hubbard was moderator, Eleazer Curtiss was chosen town clerk and Capt Joseph Carter first selectman. Fence viewers, leather sealers, sealers of weights and measures, key keeper, listers, grand jurors and tithing men were appointed. Ephraim Tanner's east barn was to be the pound. During the revolution it was a part of Kent, called East Green wich, and during the war we find that Eleazer Curtiss was major, Joseph Car ter and Peleg Sturtevant ;captains, .Dea con Eben Tanner, Samuel Carter and Nathan Swift lieutenants. Also in the army were Augustin and Lysander Cur tiss, Dea Fowler, Philip and Eben Strong George Batterson and John Halloway Major Curtiss was at the battle of Dan- bury and caught Gen Wooster as he fell from his horse in that battle. Among tbe records of the town ia a "Book of E-aruaarKs" whereby tne cattle that run at large, were known to the different owners. For instance there was a dia gram of the two ears indicated as follows John Taylor owner, square crop of the left ear, swallow fork in the right. In some a note was puncnea in the upper- part of the left ear and the lower part of the right ear. The town in its early history produced almost .everything the people used. In what is now called Hard scrabble were various establishments Mills for card eg wool, making cloth satinet, making nails, rims of wheels out of pig iron. Leather was tanned in the town, boots and shoes made and .also as the making of cider, brandy, and a cup board in all the homes where liquors were kept. Warren was not an anomaly in this matter. The big wheel and the little wheel was found everywhere. The tea drank was not imported, but pre pared by the sagacity of the mothers, Of the imported tea there was part of a tea pot full, when 320 chests were broken, open and emptied into Boston harbor. Those were the days of "Anld Lang Syne" and should never be forgotten by posterity. William Welton and wife left for Flori da on Thursday, March 11. Mr Bennett preached in the Methodist Too Inch Me! The use of the surer eon's knife is be' coming- so general, resulting- fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion g-eneral alarm. Mr. William Walwole. of Walshtown South Dakota, writes; "About three years ago, there came ' under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly, and shooting- pains ran in every direction. I became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it can- TJsvcer, and said that it must be: cut out. , This. I would not consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Read ing of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place wnere tne destroyer naa neia run sway.

Always taught that heart disease is incurable, when the symptoms become well defined, the patient becomes alarmed and a nervous panic takes place. But when a sure remedy is tound and a cure effected, after Years of suffering, there is great rejoicing and desire to "let the whole world know." Mrs. Laura Wine inger, of Selkirk, Kansas, writes; "I desire to let the whole world know what Dr. Miles' Dr. Miles' Heart Cure has done for me.

Superintendent Williams has just fin ished hauling 1500 railroad ties to mill from John Pierce's on Tom's Hill and Isaac Wentch's team is busy hauling the same to the Falls Station for the She paug road. The double drum and double cylin der hoisting engine to be used in the garnet quarry has arrived and is being put in place by Master Mechanic Pierce, and then both mill and quarry will start up with the best of improved machinery. This will do away with most of the hand work, besides reducing the number of men, being the result of Mr Williams' and Mr Pierce's trip to Boston, laying the actual necessity of same before the company officials at their meeting a short time ago. Mr Williams intends building another larger barn the coming season and is having the lumber sawed at Mr Pierce's mill. Emmet Curtis of West street, Bridge water, is negotiating with Walter Thom as for the purchase of two stage coaches and harness and the mail contract to New Milford for the rest of Mr Thomas' time, with the view of securing the contract for the next four years from July 1, and if he secures it and tbe M.

The greatest danger from LaGrippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If rea sonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's cough remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among tbe tens of thoueands who have used this remedy for lagrippe, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted In pneumonia, which shows conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dread disease. It will effect a permanent cure in less time than any other treatment. The 23 and 50 cent sizes for sale by E. F. Hawley, New town, S. C. Bull, Sandy Hook, W. N. Hurd, Stepney Depot. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, signature ti - b "WHERE DOCTORS DISAGREE." There has been a great deal of disagree nient from time to time about the therapentio valne of sarsaparilla. In tb main, authori ties deny any particular medical value to the plant. "It's just an old wlve's remedy," they say. And in the main they are right. There are about a dozen varieties ot sarsaparill.i, sea tered tbrongh various countries, and ot this dozen only one has any real curative power. So a man whose experience might be confined to th II other varieties might honestly say there was little valne in them. The- ono valuable sarBaparilla ia found In Honduras, C. A. Monardea, a pnysioian ot Seville, records the introduction ot sarsapa. villa into Spai'i as a result ot the Spanish dis coveries ot the New World, between 1S35 and 1545. Bnt the root did not accomplish much. But he adds, "a better sort soon came from Honduras." It is this "better sort" that is used exclusively In Ayer's Sarsaparilla. And it is the use of this "better sort" that haa giv en Ayer's 8araaparuia prominence over all other varieties by reason ot its wonderful cures of blood diseases.
