A Terrible Case of Suffering.

The dreadful suffering of man with chol- era morbus was painfully illustrated in New York few days ago, when an individual from the rural districts who had been filling himself with all sorts of good but undigesti- ble things was struck down on Broadway and had to be carried into hotel where two doctors worked with him an hour before he was out of danger. A tablespoonful or two of PERRY DAVIS PAIN KILLER, and flannel cloth saturated with the medicine and applied to his stomach ,swould have relieved him al- most instantly.

The saered Heart Picnic

On no day during the present season
 has larger crowded visited West Haven shore than gathered there yesterday, by far the larger part going down to attend the pie nic given by the Church of the Sacred Heart. AS early as 1 o'clock crowds were waiting at the corner of Church and Chapel streets to take the West Haven cars, which were pro- 7ided in abundance, but were unable to ac- commodate the throngs in waiting, and young men were seen vending their way in small parties to the various livery stables to pro- vide themselves with more luxurious convey ances. The picnic was held at the Rock proper, and the party gathered within the grove was simply immense. Skeeles. the popular restaurateur on the grounds, had his hands full attending to the many calls made upon him, but with all the unusual demand his larder never ran short. Music was pro- vided for dancing, and the musical voice of Prof. F1aherty guided the dancers through the giddy mazes. Those who lacked courage to brave the heat in the danc- ing pavilion found plenty of amusement in wandering along the shore and in enjoying the various amusements for which Mir. Skeeles has made plentiful provision in the grove, sitting for their pictures and in divers other ways. Bathing was induIged in by many, the water being at it's highest mark in the cooling hours of the evening. Ming ling in the social throng were many of the prominent Catholics of New Haven and other placess There were not many clergymen present, their absence being accounted for by the retreat which is in progress at ss

The Sen Serpent.

Captain Henry Y. Chapel, of the yacht Bliss, is likely to gain wide newspaper men ton, which is equivalent to national repu- tation, from his good fortune in seeing the sea serpent this year. The captain was nat urally somewhat indignant that his discovery of the sea serpent should have been consid- cred by some of the newspapers as legiti- mate result of the imbibing of poor quality of iouor. Those who are personally &C., quainted with the captain not only believe that he is strictly truthful in his narrative of the sea serpent, but that he was at the time when he saw it, as he is on all other occa, sions, entirely level-headed.

This city has long been noted for it's beau tiful and numerous drives. Each season seems to have it's appropriate and popular ones, and at this time those to and along the shore are frequented by great numbers. AL though the approaches to the west shore are, as has been stated, in deplorable condition, we are glad to note that those to the east are in comparatively good order. There certain Iy can be no more beautiful route to the beach than through East Haven, or rather New Haven as it has lately become, passing the handsome residences and grounds of Mitchell, Townsend and Benedict, and over the Heights, which give such grand and ex- tended view of the Sound and both sides of the harbor. Here the prevailing southerly winds have full sweep, cooling the atmo- sphere and refreshing both man and beast. The popular thing is to drive to the shore. take supper and return in the evening. In this respect the public will find that they can be nicely provided for at the Cove House which. under the able management of Mir Gard, is making special effort in this direc- tion Everything is new, neat and inviting and the eatables prepared by a first-class cook are highly reIishable, particularly after hay
