AFooIfsh Experiment.

On Monday afternoon, Clarence M. Clark, clerk in Bridgeport drug store, took one- twentieth of grain of sulphate of atropia, which is the active principle of belladonna, as an experiment.. It is about forty times as strong as belladonna, and the usual dose is one-sixtieth of grain followed perhaps at an interval of several hours by second dose. It is seldom administered except under the watchful eyes of a physician. It is occasion ally given in doses of one-thirtieth of grain, but not often. It was only by the greatest exertions of friends and physicians that his life was saved. Before taking the drug he wrote letter in which he said he desired to ascertain the effects of one-twentieth of a grain of atropia on a healthy system and therefore made the experiment.. He wished 1t understood in case he died that he was not a suicide as he did not want to die. He ab- solved everybody from all blame in case he died, and directed that his remains and ef- fects should be sent to his father, D. J. Clark, in New York. He thinks he will not try any more experiments with this drug.

EnGerLalnments.

The literary entertainment and Leap Year social given by Excelsior Chapter Order of Eastern Star last evening was all that could be desired. The singing by Miss Kirschner was as usual excellent and the same may be said of those in the quartette. The readings by "Parson" Isbell were greatly appreciated and in fact the entire programme gave universal satisfaction. After the literary entertainment was concluded the hall was speedily cleared of seats and for few hours the company en- joyed Leap Year social dance. The whole affair was grand conclusion of the season immediately preceding Lent.
 DENMAN THOMPSON.
 MT. J. 0. Myers, the veteran manager, who has brought so many popular entertainments to New Haven, was in the city yesterday, and he informs us that he will give us Den. Thompson at Goes Opera House on Thurs day evening, Feb. 18th, in the ever-favorite comedy, "Josh Whitcomb." The famous comedian has just had a brilliant triumph at the Boston 9heatre, having appeared there for four weeks with oyerhowing houses. MT. Thompson will now take tour of the leading towns in this State, thence going eastward as far as Maine. During his two weeks stay at the Lyceum Theatre, New York, two months ago, he had number of the largest audiences ever seen in New York theatre.
 '.FATNITzA.'
 Under the inspiration of an audience which completely filed the Grand Opera House, and which was of the best class, the Ideal Opera Company gave ''Fatinitza' last evening magnifcently. There was none of the carelessness which marred the last performance of the company here, and the soloists, the chorus and the orchestra all did their work so well as to leave little room for criticism, if there were any desire to criticise such thoroughly delightful mu- sical feast as they offered. MT. Fessenden's solo My Native Land" was perhaps the most satisfying" part of the evenings en- tertainment. If there were many who could sing this as he does, it might become the long sought for national hymn" The ''March Forward" received double encore, which it richly deserved, and MT. Whitney's splendid solos were heartily applauded, as were also the efforts of the other soloists. A better pleased and more enthusiastic au- diencs has rarely been seen in this city. The Ideal Opera Company can come here several times more this season if it is so disposed, and be sure of 8 warm welcome every time.

Groton Heights had the honor of being the real battlefield in Connec cut during the Revolutionary war, and the honor and dignity of the State would be involved in it's centennial celebration.
 MT. Crump, of New London, sustained the resolu- ton in handsome speech.
 MT. Bailey, of Danbury, supported the appropria- ton, telling the story of old Mother Bailey, who dur ing the battle pulled of her red pettcoat and to the for wadding For that alone act of heroism, he was in favor of giving the appropriation asked for. He did not know whether he was de- Ecsndant of the brave not, but his veins filled with patriotic blood, and he would sustain any in honor of the courage of the States sol diers.
 MT. Nichols again supported the resolution and MT Rowan opposed it. On vote the amendment was lost and the original resolution was carried.
 On motion Of MT. Burleigh, of Handen the petition of the State Street Horse Railroad Company foI amendment to charter was recommitted.
 At 1:30 p. the House adjourned till 10:30 g. Wednesday.
