The temperance movement is progressing finely and rapidly. Nearly 400 persons have signed the pledge, 55 doing so in one evening On Tuesday of last week, Prof. Bradford gave readings and recitations assisted by Miss Annie Lancashire. The church was full and all pres. ent felt we'll repaid, for it was a better enter tainment than we generally expect in this small village Prof. Bradford gave Miss Lan- ceshre great praise as an elocutionist. Certain it is, Mir. Editor, if we were possessed of such elocutionistic gifts we would think it mental and moral cachexy @ to set our face against Providence and not cultivate so excellent and conspicuous a talent.
 The building to be used by E. Calvin, as occupancy.
 The T. U. Orchestra met at Sherman Cogswelrs. Thursday night, for practice. Geo. Edwards first flutist, who has been attending G. O. Whttlesey's academy, the past winter, has returned home to Burlington, Ct. His fine music as we'll as his genial presence will be much missed by the other members of the or chestra.
 The ''New Preston Mills" are being con- siderably repaired, by placing therein a new motor (not Keeley's) in the form of patent turbine water-wheel. Lewis Pepper, of New Milford, is doing the work.
 The T. U. Entertainment consisting oi tablsaux and drama entitled, Fruits of the Wine Cup" will come off at Union Hall (to night) April 4th. This will probably be the last this winter, so let everybody come. The T. U Orchestra will furnish music. l HI. M Bolles has rented his tenement house to family by the name of Johnston.
 On Saturday, as G. c. Hitchcock, with James Ferriss, was driving down New Preston hill he, in some way, lost the reins, nesr the residence of Sherman Cogswell. The horses immediately started into fearful run down the hill. They were stopped in front oi Burnham's store by Michael Ludgate, with no body and nothing hurt-a species of good lucl that hardly ever attends such exercises. Mir Ferris said he wonld rather have run his chanc of life at Cold Harbor, even if shot and shel did fly thick and fast RosALIND

John Strong, peacefully fell asleep at the advanced age of nearly ninety years; and on Tuesday afternoon of the 26th, large number of her relatives and acquaintances gathered at her funeral.

 On the 25th, Mir. Henry Allen who has for the past year been sick with consumption, ending in many days of great suffering, was released by death, aged thirty-four years, leaving a wife and three young young child dren without his strong arm and loving care. Some one reports forty widows and single ladies living on Main street, Southbury. There are nearly fifty such persons housekeeping, be- tween Southbury limits and 'Up Town bridge" in this town, scarcely leaving Main street. By a little divergence therefrom, the number could be much increased.
 Two new dwellings on Main street, for which preparations are making, will add to the forty reported as built in town during the last four years.

AN ASTONISHING FACr.-A large propor- tion of the American people are today dying from the effects of Dyspepsia Or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent. and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually burden instead of pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticisn, take the ad- vice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try It's virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy a sample bottle for ten cents to try Three doses will relieve the worst case. Sold by all A. s. Wright & Co.,, of Lttchfield.
