CHANGES AND REMOVALS Thomas W. Beach has removed to New Preston. James Hurley occupies part Of the house with Mrs. Sharp. Wm. Hall, member of the firm of ths Eagle Shear Co.,. has bought the John Osborn place and moved his goods and family. Dwight Seelye goes to New Preston. next month, much to the regret of the farmers and others about here who have horses to shoe. The Barton Bros, occupy the house Jeff by MT. Beach. They are fast filling their store with stock of entirely new goods. Every one says, success to them!
 Death, too, IS making its constant changes. The sudden death of Mir. & Mrs. Christopher P. Wheeler in the midst of life's active duties, has cast shadow over our whole community and caused 8 vacancy in the various positions in socie- ty which they occupied, not easily filled. The old Homstead and long remembered hospitable mansion of the Ambrose Col lin's family is now left vacant. Conn mencing here and counting south through East street down into Maple street as far as Lucius Curtis's and, we recollect 45 deaths within the last twenty years. Not single house has escaped. The list of the dead within that time exceeds the list of those now living in the same houses What change-and yet the same could be said, we presume, of almost any other section. And again another name must be added to the list in the death of Ar thur Griswold. He had but just stepped upon the threshold of active life with all the bright promises and ambitious hopes of the future before him. But all must be resigned to the stern mandate. Hap pily he could say, "Thy will be done."

The people of Connecticut have learned

The people of Connecticut have learned to place high estimate on the ability, candor and conscientious thoroughness of the firm of HALL & READ of Bridgeport, and there is no doubt 1t is an excellent place to buy Dry Goods and Carpets. They ar1 uireaa5 making arrangements for spring, and are introducing some new de- signs in the celebrated ingrain carpetings of their own make. Their stock of fine carpetings and house furnishing goods is always attractive. while they are always offering some real bargains in Dry Goods.
 It is becoming an established fact that the interior of our dwellings can be furn- ished with carpets and wall decorations by Messrs HALL X READ of Bridgeport in better taste and at less expenditure than by any other firm for the following req sons: They make their own carpets and control the designs of the new decorations and can therefore not only fit up houses with good harmony in the fittings but save the purchasers one profit.
