Judge Charles E. Sanford.


 In the death of Judge Charles F. Sanford, of New York, an eminent jurist has passed away, and his life has a special interest to New Raven people, as this city was his birth place, and many of our old citizens will re- member having taken special interest in his career. He prep ared for Yale at Hopkins Grammar school, and graduated at Yale with high honors in the class of 1847 he then be- ing only twenty years of age. Classmates of his were Roger Sherman Baldwin, B. Gratz Brown, who ran for Vice President on the Horace Greeley ticket, John D. Candee of the Bridgeport FGrnaer, the late Prof. Had ley, Judge Edward I. Sanford of New Haven, and many others of note. Dr. L. J. Sanford, of this city, is a cousin of the deceased. Af- ter the graduation of the deceased he chose the law as his profession, and at once ap- piled himself to its study in the New Haven law school. After securing diploma which entitled him to practice in the Connecticut courts, he went to New York and entered the law office of Messrs Butler 6 Evarts as student. His bright intellect, untiring in- dustry and apparent desire for knowledge at once won the confidence and esteem of his employers who ever afterward remained his warm personal friends. Judge Sanford's career is well known. In 1875 he was elect- ed judge of the Superior Court in New York For 8 long time his mind had been unsettled, caused by overwork during the trial of the important suit between the Pacific and the Western Union Telegraph compa- nies. He leaves two children, Charles P. Sanford, aged twenty six, and Mary R. San- ford, aged twenty-two. His older brother, Mir. James H. Sanford, is 8 resident of New York.
 The burial takes place at the Grove street cemetery, this city, this Monday morning at 1O;45

The Shell Fisheries.

The shell fish commissioners have disposed of 5, 400 acres, yielding the State $5, 700. Ap- plications have been made for 34, 900. Sev- eral thousand acres applied for have proved to be of unsuitable bottom for oyster culture,
 and it is probable that the applications will be changed so as to call for other land. Many of the deeds for lands applied for have not been delivered, the oystermen preferring to wait until winter before taking and paying for deeds. Most of the oystermen have spent large sums of money in planting the ground during the late summer and the fall.

It is perhaps as high shaft as any in the grounds, and it, like Governor Morgan's tomb, rises from a hill which commands 8 wide and grand view of hill, valley, river and mountain-the city showing finely at 8 distance of three miles to the northeast i; the Bolton mountains, fifteen miles away, form ing the boundary line of the eastern horizon, and the Talcott mountain range ten miles west, limiting the vision in that direction while the Connecticut valley, with the beau tiful slopes of the Glastonbury hills and the continuation of the Cedar Hill range, lies of to the south, and away to the north the sharply outlined crest of Mt. Tom, nearly forty miles distant, in Massachusetts,, rises clear and distinct, like castle of solid blue cloud. It is sweeping, varied and beauti- ful view, and on a clear day it is too striking ly attractive to be overlooked by even the dullest person.

Some time since we published the words of beautiful little song and chorus written by Mrs. A. C. Willis, of this city, and dedi- cated to the memory of Jennie E. Cramer. Since that time the song, which is entitled 'eFound Drifting With the Tide," has been printed in sheet form suitable for the piano, and is on sale at Loomis' and other music stores. The title page IS gotten up in the highest style of the Photographic art, and on it is one of the most perfect Hkenesses of the dead girl that has yet been published.

The Wilson Magnetic Garment


 wonderful sale has attended the Wilson magnetic garments, which have become widely known for their effects in restoring confirmed invalids to activity and usefulness again. and made many remarkable cures in cases of long standing where hope had fled. Cures and benefits have been received by the use of this curative means in cases consid cred not only intractable but incurable. The garments are the invention of William Will son, author, lecturer, medical electrician, in- ventor, patentee, and the sole manufacturer of the Wilsonia clothing. The suit is com posed of different articles. The articles are worn under the regular outside garments. They contain no medicinal preparation or composition, the use of which it is the whole intent and purpose to obviate. The garments cure by means of magnetic infiu- ence; their success lies in molecular changes producible by the action of 8 series of power full magnets acting upon the ferric atoms al- ways present in the blood and upon the nerve fluids throughout the nerve tissue, pr oducing by electric force that magnetic condition of blood necessary to perfect health.

A Dogs Sense OF Smell,

Have you ever observed how really
wonderful is the dogs sense Of smell ?
Anacharsis (says his happy owner knows
me, when | am dressed i'll clothes he
never saw before, by his nose alone.
Let me get myself up in theatrical
costume, and cover my face with mask,
yet he will recognize me by some Ito us)
undiscovered perfume. Moreover, he
will recognize the same odor as clinging
to my clothes after theyhave been taken
OIL. If L shy pebble on the beach, he
can pick out that identical pebble by
scent among Thousand others. Even
the very ground on which / have trod-
den retains for him some faint memento
OF my presence few hours afterward.
The bloodhound car track human
scent a week old-which argues deli
cacy of nose almost incredible to human
nostrils. Similarly, too, if you watch
Anacharsis at this moment, You will see
that he runs up and down the path,
smiling at every stick, stone and plant,
as though he got a separate and distin.
gulshable scent out OF every one OF
them. And so he must, no doubt for if
even the earth keeps perfume OF the
person who has walked over it hours be-
lore, surely every object about us must
nave some faint smell or other, either OF
Itself or of objects which have touched
IL. Therefore the smells which make up
half dogs picture of this life must be
successive and continuous. -Ercha''ge'
