 -One of our prominent citizens, Byron Futile, Esq, has lately been making various changes about his house, so that-as time flows on-he and his family will indulge in the unusual luxury of two bay windows where previously there had been none. Within the last few days death has re. leased from their mortal suffering two of our aged people; Mrs. George E. Shelton aged 65, and Benjamin Harzer aged 79 years. On Sunday afternoon, the 18th, the obsequies of both took place from their late residences. the services being conducted by the Rev. MT Giililand. Mir. Harzer was I believe native of Derby, but had resided here more than half century. He was by trade shoemaker more particularly 8 maker of ''dancing pumps, at period when ball rooms were somewhat numerous in this, as in other towns. Subsequently for years he carried on the bus. mess of house painting. Later he had paid attention te farming. His golden wedding was celebrated in 1876. Mir. Shelton's maiden naue was Ida Larkins She too had lived in Plymouth more than fifty years. Her first husband was Capt TimothyS S. Jones' She had long been member of and communicant in the Episcopal church, and connected with its Sunday school. If previous to her death St. Peters parish contained one saint and only one, am confident that no individual deserving that title can now be found within its limits!

FEARFUL ACCIDEN T

WOMAN DOxbN U DVhl H.
 On Thursday evening of last week at about half past five, Abbie' Hoyt, wife of Samuel Hoyt, living in house hired of Walter Smith, about two miles east of the Morris Station, attempted to kindle the fire for tea, with paper and kindlinqs. It went out, and the unfortunate woman poured on kerosene oil ftom eau. There must have been fire concealed from the first lighting, for in mo- ment it blazed up, the fire ran. into the can which exploded covering the woman with blazing oil. She ran out of the door all in a blaze and screaming. Some men who were at work near came to her assistance and final ly put out the flame by wrapping her in a blanket. They also extinguished the fire which had been set by the explosion in the house. Mrs. Hoyt was horribly burnt, and died about Il o'clock the following morning. Au added horror was the premature birth of a child, but little before the time for it's natural birth. but dead Mrs. Hoyt was but nineteen years old and had been married but ten months.

 ED. ENQUIRER.-As predicted some time ago, Dr. Chas. Tqllrr the young dentist from Winsted who has made for himself here ''a name and fame"- has captured one of our fairest and most accomplished young ladies. The nuptial bands were tied this morning, and the happy pair started on Northern tour, of friends. The young lady is an organist and leading singer in the choir of the Con- gregational Church of which she is member. Her father has recently established himself in Minneapolis Minn., and moves there with his family this week-which includes bevy of young ladies whom we are very sorry to lose. The Dr. aud his bride are to occupy the old Homestead (newly furulshed) which is 8 very handsome residence on the thorough fare leading to Clinton. He is cousin of Mrs. John Balch, of Harwinton. Mir. Balch, as have written you, is largely interested in the Telephone business. They have recently extended their lines to Morrison and Sterling thriving cities in Illinois, about 19 and 90 miles away, and are arranging to extend them to Dewitt 90 miles in the other direction, making line of 40 miles long. They control in the neghborhood of 400 exchanges. MT. B. being president and owning controlling h. terest in the stock. Persons familiar with the business can easily infer that he has "bonan- za," as their territory embraces several other towns, and it is rapidly growing on their hands. They sent an order at one time few days since for 56 new telephones.
