Death of bonn H. Rennam.

MT. John Fl. Benham died yesterday at his residence in Whitneyville, near Whitney Lake, where he had resided for several years past, since retiring from active business pursuits. His age was 6S. He was prostrated about two weeks ago with paralysis, and from the first, hopes that he would rally were small. A few years ago he had prolonged and severe attack of illness from the effects of which he never fully recovered. MT. Benham published the New Haven Directory for very long period, and ssBenham's Directory" became, especially as the city grew, an indispensable work. He bestowed great care upon it to render it as nearly perfect work of the kind as possible, and received for it special articles illustrative of the annual growth of the city and of fea- lures of interest to strangers and visitors. He long carried on the job printing business in the old Glebe building. corner of Church and Chapel streets, and Benhams printing office was as familiar as any old landmark. He was for some years vice president of the Young Mems Institute at the time when Edwin Mar ble, Esq, was president, and gave much time and effort to promote its prosperity. He ever took an active interest in religious matters, and was member of the Congregationalist denomination. An occasion which afforded him much pleasure was the gathering at pr. Todd's church some months ago when the pastor was presented with some beautiful gifts by his people. The pastor in the course of the exercises alluded to the death of Rev. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson, with whose pastor ate in New Haven the deceased was familiar, and MT. Benhara found afterward in his house picture of Dr. Thompson showing him as he was in his young manhood when pastor here. Mir. Benham was a native of Middle town in this State, and came to this city when young man, engaging in the printing busi, ness. He was man highly esteemed, and many will hear of his death with regret. He leaves wife and several sons, among them Charles c. Benham, the artist of this city, Leonard Benham of New York, and John Benham, now, we believe, in Chicago in the Pullman palace car service.

''Eleven years our daughter suffered on a bed of misery under the care of several of the best (and some of the worst) physicians, who gave her disease various names but no relief, and now she is restored to us in good health by as simple remedy as Hop Bitters, that we had poohed at for two years, before using it. We earnestly hope and pray that no one else will let their sick suffer as we did, on account of prejudice against so good medicine as Hop Bitters3-The Parents

Funeral of Mrs. Nathaniel Booth. Tha f1naraI of Mrs NathanieI Rnoth toob

The funeral of Mrs. Nathaniel Booth took place yesterday afternoon from her late resi- dence, No. 151 Water street, few doors from Olive street. The spacious rooms were filled with sorrowing friends, gathered from all parts of the city to pay the last sad tribute of regard to the deceased whose virtues had adorned her life, life prolonged much be- yond the measure of years allotted by the Psalmist, and endeared her to many. The de- ceased passed away last Saturday. She had been in her accustomed good health for one of her advanced years, when she was sudden y prostrated by heart disease, and died in three quarters of an hour. The deceased was the widow of Dr. Nathaniel Booth, well remembered as being leading druggist of New Haven, and long doing business on State Street, where c. s. Leete S Go. are now loca- ted, the firm being Booth & Bromham. The deceased had been for great many years communicant of Trinity church, and led pious, godly life, and leaves many to mourn for her as benefactor in time of distress and trouble. Her heart and purse were ever ready to appeals from the deserving poor, and her charities were secretly bestowed. The Rev. Dr. Harwood oficiated at the funeral. Many prominent and influential residents were present. A chant was sung and the hymn ttAsleep in Jesus" by MT. Manross MT. Kim berly and ladies of the Trinity choir. The interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.

milk wagon was knocked to splinters on the Canal road by train yesterday morning. The horse took the track at the Webster street crossing, and hearing the approaching cars, a short but spirited race occurred be- tween the milk team and the train. The horse escaped serious injury, but was knocked a distance of fifty feet. The milk cans were terribly demoralized and several gallons of the lacteal fluid were lost. The owner, MT.

An altercation took place, whereupon one of the students, named Warren, drew revolver and fired three shots at the other party. One of the bullets took effect in the feshy part of the thigh of Rudolph standinger, workman at Colts, inficting painful but not serious wound. Another pistol ball was prevented from penetrating the lungs of a second man in the party by hitting the button on the right breast of his overcoat. The third shot went no one knows where. The student threw his pistol over fence, and as the noise of the shots had attracted a crowd, the parties separated As yet no complaints or arrests hava hean made Hartford Times.

 THE DANrTEs.
 On this and tomorrow evenings the attrac- tion at Goes Opera House will be that im- mensely popular American drama ''The Danites," in which Mir. and Mrs. Mckee Ran kin will appear, supported by the popular ac- tor MT. W. E. Sheridan and frst-class com pany. The play has been presented with success all over the country, and the indica- tions are that the house will be crowded on both evenings of its presentation in this city.
 THE soRoERER.
 This evening the Boston Ideal Opera Com- pany will appear at the Grand Opera House in Gilbert & Sullivan's modern comic opera. in two acts, entitled ''The Sorcerer." It is the same old and favorite company SO popular with New Haven audiences, and from the sale of reserved seats it is safe to assume that they will be greeted by an overfowing house. This Is probably the last visit of this company to this city during the present season.
