The CenRIIR Takers.

MT. J. 0. A. Stone, of Danielsonville, one of the Connecticut census supervisors, was in this city Thursday, in consultation with May or Sumner and other leading citizens, with reference to the appointment of enumerators for Hartford and the districting of the city. Hartford will be divided into about twenty districts and MT. Stone is determined to have a first class corps of enumerators here, and he will appoint capable persons from both polit- ical parties. The first requisite properly will be qualification, so as to insure thorough, intelligent work. MT. Stone has taken hold of the matter with frst-rate understanding of the duties involved, and Hartford people will be glad to know that he is giving person. al attention to their interests-the more so be- cause the census taken here in 1870 was never satisfactory to many ycitizens.-Hartford Oourant.

Funeral of Edward c. clark.

Funeral of Edward C. Clark
 The funeral of the late Edward 0. Clark, for many years produce merchant on State street, occurred from his late residence, 195 Chapel street, at 2 p. ID. yesterday, and the remains were inferred in the family burial plot in the East Haven cepaetery. The deceased was son of the late Rev. Samuel Clark, who fol- lowed in 1908 the late Rev. Nicholas Street in the pastorate of the Congregational church of that town, and also was grandson of Elijah Bradley, who with his brothers Asa and Abijah were made prisoners in the Revolutionary war, and all except the first perished in the winter of 1779 on board the New York prison ship. He was well known to the business men and to the community generally, and was hon. est in his dealings with the people. At the funeral services the Rev. G. w. Moves off, ciated, and the pallbearers were Daniel s. Cooper, Jeremiah Goodnough, Jas. T. Mix, J. P. Seeley, W. 0. Baggott, J. Woodward Thompson.

Deaths Counterfeit,

Martin Lamb, machinist, living at 10 Prospect street, was taken i'll Thursday after noon and during the evening the two physi- clans who were called to attend him expressed the opinion that he could not live the night through. At 8 o'clock this morning he was supposed to be dead, his heart apparently having ceased to beat, his pulse being indis- cernible and respiration having stopped. The undertakers were sent for and they proceeded to make preparations for his burial. After their arrival at the house of the supposed dead person it was discovered that though ap- parently lifeless he was not dead, but in state of coma. Death finally took place at fifteen minutes past II o'clock this morning. Lambs malady was erysipelas. It affected his brain and caused congestion of that organ. New London Telegram, 27th.

Weather Notes.

February NOtes-The CrOcuses-EfORs
 and BOatings
 Mr. Hezekiah Futile, the druggist in Fair Haven. was surprised yesterday to find about dozen crocus plants in his garden in Fair Haven East in bloom. He gives some atten- ton to the culture of choice flowers, and he before, and doubts if he has ever seen even the plants peeping out thus in February.
 The frogs which usually wait until spring to commence their peeping were distinctly heard making their favorite melody near the country roads last evening.
 Yesterday also party of ladies and gentle men were out rowing on Whitney Lake, the tempting mild weather fully warranting them in so doing. MT. Day says that it is the first ruary for pleasure purposes.
 Blue birds are singing and grass is grow ing. Woodbridge farmer cut 8 good load of fresh green grass the other morning. A Westport gentleman brought handful of fine green grass, some of the blades six inches long, into the Bridgeport Farmer office yes terday morning, and the editors gave it good notice. mere handful of grass wouldn't count for much in May, but February moving is worth an item, just as January blowing is Here in New Haven the venerable old Green is doing itself proud and can show acre upon acre of green grass. The Westport gentle man above noticed, says the Bridgeport edi- tor picked the grass with the music of a full choir of blue birds as an accompani- ment"
 The boys are out sapping the maple trees, the sap having commenced to run with con- siderable duency on some of the trees. The ice men hereabouts are turning their eyes toward Maine for their crop of that necessary material.
 Even Hartford has felt the spring boom. Vessels can get up the Connecticut river and the steamboats too, and freights arrive and de- part daily as if it was midsummer. Nothing is lacking therefore to cheer the Hartford heart with 25O, GOO, ,0oO gallons of water in the reservoir and the Legislature in session. The Post announces that the 'trobins appear to have come to stay and may be seen fitting through the trees,"-they don't go around in the more retired thoroughfares of the city on any pleasant morning. Where they are on unpleasant mornings is not stated and we are left to imagine.

Nothing so offends the sensibilities of an earnest preacher of gospel truth as the pro longed and simultaneous barking and cough ing by the youth of his congregation who happen to have slight colds. The administra- ton of Roberts Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cherry is clearly suggested for the cor color odor and taste, children like it and it always cures their cough. It is equally good for that distressful trouble, the minister's sore throat. Sample bottle ten cents, large size fifty cents
