Mr.. Bailey, the circus man, again
threatens to go to Europe in search of
additional attractions for Barnum's show
with which he is connected.
Mr.. Harvey Roe, of Brookfield, had a
hat stolen from his wagon the other day
while he was. attending to shopping. j
Don't leave valuables lying around loose.
Many good people here do not want
Halloween to come often. The devil
of fun" got into the boys heads, and they
carried it too far, to the damage of some
and the annoyance of many, who will not
put up with a repetition of it.
C. Crofut & Sons flour mills, extern
sively know as the Still River Mills.
were burned Saturday night about eleven
o'clock. There seems to be but little
doubt that it was the work Of an incen-
diary. There had been no fire in that
part of the building where the FIRE start
ed. There was a large stock Of grain and
-four in the mills. The loss is heavy; In
surance comparatively light.
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Northrop had a
silver wedding; a pleasant reunion of
friends and an enjoyable time reported.
Mr.. Saml A. Newman had a tin wedding
friends timed him considerably. He is
musician and given to blowing, and
they gave him huge tin trumpet, or
what Mast gave Horace Greeley as SYM
Dol, when FL. G. said the Tribune was
not an organ, huge trombone. The
affair was a surprise to Mr.. Newman, and
he duplicated it a few evenings after and
had things his own way.
A young man, says the News, came to
DIR. Clason's office, the other night and
insisted upon it that he was shot. The

near the base of his spine. It seemed
doubtful whether he had sat down on his
pi&oi or on carpet tack. The doctor
fished up his spine and found pistol
ball Neither he nor friend who was
with him could tell how the ball found
| it's way up his backbone. The probable
ity is they had met Schenck.
The election, on Tuesday week, pass

tor, received 1913 votes, the highest num-
Der; Mr.. B. F. Bailey for first Represen-

OILS. Mr.. Bailey is untried, but will soon
make himself at home.
| The Kate Trayer Concert, on Tues
day evening, last week, was not largely,
| though fairly well attended. Some COM
plain that the music was too heightened
] to touch teIiderly the heart of the aver
age concert-goer of Danbury. A stray
organ-grinder or italian peanut vender
might understand the words, and posi-
| bly, appreciate the music, but the average
| Danburian does not understand italian
nor French, and the language is no reveI-
alton to him, however charmingly the
music may skim along the sky. In the
early days of Mormanism, in this coun-
try, a Monroe Norman, late one night,
rode to his neighbours house. and excited
/ ly called him up from his bed, saying he
had a revelation from God for him. He
put his head out the window, when the
Norman ratified off the message in an
/" unknown tongue" The inspired man,
having discharged his mission, turned
his horse and rode away, while the neigh
Dor drew in his night-capLed head, and
sought his bed much madden man, but
certainly no wiser for the revelation. .
Nothing is revealed when nothing is un-
derstood. The heart is lower than the
head, and both are below the clouds.
RARE SENsE.-Said an observing Dan

honest-faced Scotchman came around
the corner: Horace, that old man I'M
derstands himself; that man is worth
twenty-five thousand dollars" But very
few comparatively know as much as that.
And that reminds me of knowing Dan
bury horse. who, when he galiops down
street with his gallant well-to-do owner
J on his back, articulates with his feet as
plainly as horse can. Property, proper
ty, property; this is not original with
the Danbury horse. Speaking of the
dollars, and sense of money calls to mind
