A Sudden Death.

The death of Deacon David Silliman, of Easton, Tuesday, was very sudden, and is supposed to have been caused by heart dis ease. He went out in the morning with some men he had engaged to slaughter his hogs, and getting into the enclosure where the animals were confined, caught and at tempted to throw one of them. He exerted himself considerably in the effort and seemed to find it too much for his strength, as he suddenly quilted the animal he was strug- gling with and climbed over the fence torthe other side Hardly had he done this, when he sank down and expired almost instantly. He had suffered some previous trouble with heart affection. The deceased was 8 life- long and prominent resident of the town, had filled a number of local political offices, and had been for many years deacon of the Baptist church,

The Beaver Ponds and the Town Meeting
 Mr. B. Moves in an interview yesterday gave facts as follows regarding the question raised by the town meeting yesterday: About the year 164O there was obtained from the Indians transfer to the New Haven Colony of large country west of the Connecticut River, including the present town of New Haven, running into the town of Orange, and payment was made to the Indians, they re- serving certain fishing and hunting rights.
 These purchasers became the first settlers of the colony of New Haven, and they laid out a plot in nine squares, and titles to each were executed by the original proprietors. Beyond the nine original squares there was on the land side five or six different reserva- tions running into the country one mile and inasmuch as the different classes of settlers were congregated together in the nine squares so that the families from different parts of England might be together, so also the out lands were apportioned, and they were ap- portioned, section after section, until all were appropriated except the northwest quarter section, which included the present section known as the Beaver Ponds, embracing over two hundred acres, commencing on the south side of Goffe street, and including the triangu- lar parks recently reclaimed and fenced by the town, and running north up to the Ham, den swamps, distance of nearly two miles.
 The Beaver Pond district was covered by water and was not apportioned, hence the easy mode of adoption of acres after acres by those who, in some cases, had neither in- side lands or money; and upon their class of title deeds (quit claims) the first titles seem to have started.
 If these lands are held without titles by those who have occupied and conveyed, it is late enough to find it out, and the investiga- tions which have been going on tend to bring them to focus.
 MT. Moves has devoted good deal of time to these matters, and hopes soon to have his minutes of the past so assorted as to show the truth of the matter.
 We understand that while time and peace able possession will give legal possession in the case of individual property, it does not make forfeiturs of town or State property.

The Government Chemists Latest
 Test.
Hecker's the Best.

The contract for supplying the U. S. gov ernment 6O,0OO pounds of Baking Powder has been awarded to George V. Hecker $ Co.,, their Perfect Baking Powder having been tested by Dr. E. G. Love, Analytical Chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence, and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means that it will make lighter bread and bisouit) than either the "Royal'' or any of the other cream-t tartar baking powders which he examined.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test, it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphatically ex- pressed in its favor is fully sustained
