Again we are called upon to announce
the death of one of our oldest citizens,
Prosper Nichols, Of Hanover, who died
at the residence of his son in Trumbull,
on Tuesday, aged eigty-three years. In
the death of Mr.. Nichols we lose one Of
our most respected and honored business
men; tor over fifty years he has been
identified with the cattle trade, and there
probably is no man that has handled the
same number, and certainly no dealer has
taken as many cattle out of this town
He has always enjoyed the confidence Of
the people, not only in this place, but
throughout the county. Mr. Nichols, al
though over four-score years, retained
his faculties as bat few men do and with
in four weeks OF his death was very ac-
tive man.

Last week we gave a brief account OF
serious runaway at Brookfield. Tuesday
night; as none OF our friends in that
place have sent us the full particulars,
we clip them from the Danbury Repub-

dark, and one could with difficulty drive
withouta lantern. On this evening Ben

Michael Mayhem. The attempt to pass

that his horse attempted passing OF his
own accord, before he was aware of 1t ,

that they attempted to run by them. Be
this as 1t may, there was locking Of
Both teams were frightened and sprang
suddenly, which brought Mr.. Somers'
team in contact with stone wall, throw

Merwin was driXen head first into the
wall, thereby receiving severe cuts and

Michael Mayhem sustained bruises from

the most thrilling part, the account of
which is shrouded in the darkness of the
night. The Somers team ran away and
passed the Junction, but when about half
way between the junction and the upper
crossing came in contact with Mr. Henry
j. Scott, who was on his way to the depot

Mr.. Scott was injured by one OF the

since the last issue of your paper: " Has
not MInott Augur been writing the series
OF articles on Newtown's Stagnation that
have appeared in the BEE with the hope
of inducing some one to purchase the
Blackman Manufacturing Co. S property
at Sandy Hook, of which he is Receiver
wish you would state to the public
whether such is fact. ENQUIRER.
We will state for the benefit of Enquirer
that Mr.. Minott Augur hasn't written but
one article on this subject, and in that
case he attached his signature. We are
sorry that such an idea has entered the
head OF any one, as it is injustice to Mr.
Augur, and would have tendency to
throw cold water" upon subject that
is of much Importance to the town. The
articles have been written by gentIem en-
who have no personal aims farther than
a desire to see the town prosper. ED.

PUBLIC VOICE,

Mr.. EDITOR - Doubtless many readers
of the BEE, far and near, will be pleased
to know through its columns the time
is still kept up in Newtown, and that on
Wednesday evening Of this week, Nov.
19th). there is to be o gathering Of that
kind at the home of the Rev. DR.. Marble,
when, no douht, large number OF the
friends and former parishioners of DR..
Marble will meet for social reunion,
and pleasant time. In this connection,
thinking it might be interesting to your
readers, will copy communication which
appeared in the & Farmers Journal and
Columbian Ark, weekly paper. printed
in Danbury, Conn.,, under date OF April
10Th, 1903, and copies of which I now
have on file. The communication reads
as follows:
- And all the women that were wise
hearted did spin with their hands, and
brought that which they had spun Elk.
xxxv, 25. On the 31st ult., a respectable
circle of ladies assembled at the house
of the Rev. Daniel Burhans, rector of
Trinity Church, and in testimony of their
respect and friendship, they presented
Mrs. Burhans with 100 runs Of yarn. The
afternoon was spent in mutual congratula-
tions, and innocent amusements. Let
all those who profess friendship for their
clergyman go and do likewise.

Glad Tidinss.

We are glad to inform the public that
some good will probably come from the
series of articles that have appeared in
the BEE. A party from Hotchkissville,
in the interest of English capitalists,
has been looking at the shoddy mill at
Sandy Hook with the object of purchas-
ing the property for the manufacture Of
cutlery. They expressed themselves as
well-pleased with the building, water
power, etc, and will give definite an
swer in q short time. In case the COM
pany conclude to settle here, they will
employ about two hundred men We
would advise our citizens to in every way
encourage the transaction, and suggest
that the town offer to exempt their prop
erty from taxation for a term of years, as
has been done in Bridgeport and other
manufacturing places in similar cases.

Narrow Escape From Drowning.

Michael Kane and James Kilbride, of
Sandy Hook. while in al intoxicated con-
dition, went down to the Housatonic
River, Sunday, and after securing boat
belonging to Elijah Mitchell, rowed out
into the stream; when near the piers of
the railroad bridge, the boat eapsfzed,
throwing both of its occupants into the
water. Kilbride was unable to help
himself, and Immediately sank to the
bottom; Kane was not SO bad of, and
with wonderful presence of mind and
credit to himself, dove after his compan-
ion and succ,s y ] in getH 6 him ashore,
thereby saving him from a watery grave.
Andrew Hamblin, Richard Williams and
Gilbert Williams were a short distance
off. and hastened to the spot, and after
rolling and rubbing the young man for a
long time, succeeded in resuscitating him,
after which hewas conveyed to his home.
1t is safe to predict that the next time
these young men meet Schenck they will.
give the Housatonic River wide berth.

TO cross the road to her father at the

Doubt Not.

When the day Of life is dreary,
And when gloom thy course enshrouds..
When thy steps are faint and weary.
And thy spirit dark with Clouds
Steadfast in thy well doing,
Let thy soul forget the past;
Steadfast still the right pursuing.
Doubt not JOY shall come at last.
Striving still, and onward pressing,
Seek no future years to know,
But deserve the wis ed for blessing.
1t will come, though it be slow;
Never tiring-upward gazing
Let thy fears aside be cast,
And thy trials tempting bearing.
Doubt not joy shall come at last.
His fond eye is watching ser thee
His strong arm shall be thy guard;
Duty's path lies straight befpre thee,
1t will lead to thy reward:
By thine ills thy faith made stronger.
Mould Thy future by the past,
Hope on, then, little longer.
