 This tree rises only about 60 feet, but meAs- ures across east and west 94 feet. In gene ral form it reminds one of an apple tree. It is low-set, strong massive giant its branches round and full, and these, though starting well mp from the center, come dropping down umbrageous on the outer margin of the tree, and within five or six feet from the ground.
 It is extremely pleasant 10 get under this matronly, breeding elm, to look aloft end ot- serve the network and spread of strong limbs, beyond zhich iu places Is seen 6 deep blue sky, while around hang the Iuxurfant branches in their dark rich green, the whole giving sense of protection It is the most admired of all our elms.

An honored merchant of New York city, he went down in the great storm of 1887. Released from his legal obligations he began life anew. Fortune again smiled, when he, too sought out his old creditors and paid them in full. This item was told to us by the late Professor Silliman on spring morning in 1862 in his last years. We remember ss he volunteered this infor- nation his eyes twinkled with pleasure, for he too loved honor and practiced righteous ness.
 Pelatiah Perit was . native of Norwich, graduate of Yale, for over half 8 century merchant of New York, for many years pres- ideDt of Its Chamber of Commerce, and on the 9th of March, 1864, he was gathered to his fathers, aged 79 years.

Genuine Diamonds Sold with Tea

The readers of the JOURNAL AND COURIER have a good idea of the whereabouts, sayings and doings of the leading men and women of the country, so it seems to us that perhaps 6 little information as to the things which in- terest the common masses will not come amiss. The desire to make money in some shape we believe to be part and parcel of the makeup of the average American citizen. This has been forcibly illustrated here in New Haven for the past three weeks. The
 first of October there appeared In all the daily and weekly papers advertisements coV- ering about column in each paper, setting forth the merits of certain kind of Tea and Coffee. announcing that store was open for the sale of the same; that in every can of Tea and Coffee en article of value would be found The people bought, and that they obtained good quality of goods and that some of the articles were valuable. What was the result Those who obtained articles of value showed them to others. They in turn purchased and the store was crowded from morning until 10:30 at night. The manager, evidently smart business man, paid out large sums for advertising, varying the style of notice and each day giving the names of the fortunate buyers. Everyone, high and low, rich and poor, purchased Tea and Golf fee, the papers gave the list of the fortunate ones, and we would read Senator Smith, $56 in gold; John Smith (colored) $50 iu can of tea Evidently everything was conducted fairly, and those not finding diamonds, watches, money, etc, got their money's worth in Tea and Coffee, as the tea cans con- tained II and the coffee cans pounds.
 This company has appointed more than fifty agents iR-Earious cities, none of whom are now selling other articles than TEA and COFFEE, yet each agent has large and rapidly growing trade as the superior quality of their goods becomes known. Orders by mail should be accompanied by cash or postoffice order, and will be prompt ly filled and forwarded to all parts of the United States. Address Importers Tea Co, 396 and 399 State Street.

 From Whom This Tree Is Named.
 The elm that stands on Grove street just west of the entrance to Hillhouse avenue at the end of the Sheffield place is an imperi- ous, cloud-climbing individual, towering plump up by our measurement to full one hundred feet, the talIest of our elnas, as well as the greatest in girth and containing, we think, the most wood. Its openness to the view, with it's enormous stature, renders 1t 8 most majestic specimen. It's length of trunk prevents it's size from making the impression it would otherwise. Two feet from the ground 1t measures 16 feet 3 inches; at five feet 14 feet inches. It owes it's superiority perhaps to the old botanic garden hard by, into which it's roots must widely spread it's openness to the sun and perhaps an original superiority of constitution. It is of the Etruscan vase form. We predict for it 6 more immense future and venture to name it, in honor of patriarch of the American Revolution, ''the Nathan Beers eIm.''
