shell Fish CommIs.1oners,

The shell fish commissioners yesterday
considered the matter of taxing the oyster
Iands. They made out q list of the taxable
lands, their jurisdiction for assessment par
poses extending all along the coast from
Greenwich to Stonington. From this list it
appears that the income Of tax money to the
State should be from $5, 900 to 81, 900, bat
the amount will depend upon what they NAV
do, after hearing from the oyster growers
who now bold the titles to the lands.
In order to get at q true valuation the
commissioners have decided to meet the
oyster growers near the places where the
taxes are to be laid. They will be in Green
wich Tuesday, March 25 in South NorwaIk
on the 9th, Bridgeport April 2, and in New
Haven April 8, and 10, when parties inter.
ested will be heard. e1-'S--

A Sweet Wedding.

The sweetest wedding on record is
one which occurred near Macon, Ga,
two or three weeks ago. Mr.. Sinclair,
son Of a wealthy Louisiana planter, met
Miss Lizzie Jones at Il candy-pulling
party, given by one of their mutual
friends. Miss Lizzie was blonde,
beautiful and eighteen; Mr. Sinclair,
young and susceptible, excessively sus-
ceptible, indeed, as matters turned out
He was charmed with the young lady,
and was liberal with taffy. The object
of his admiration was not averse to
tatly, but took all he gave with return
in kind. Before the close of the even
inc festivities, Mr. Sinclair asked Miss
Lizzie to marry him, which she prompt
ly agreed to do then and there With
both hands full of candy, they stood up
and were married by minister who
CHANGED to be present. After a tour of
a few days the pair returned to the
brides home for visit previous to 60
ing to New Orleans to live. Here Mr.
Sinclair met his wife's Younger sister
for the first time and discovered that
she was his affinity She was more
beautiful and more blonde than the
other, and the sweetness of the molas-
ses-candy wedding cloyed upon the
young husband as he realized this fate

girl was nota deceased wife's sister, but
MIR. Sinclair did not permit this circum-
stance to stand in his way, but exercised
his Establishments 50 successfully that
the sister eloped with him last week.

Come With the Crowd.

See here, my boy! The bells have
rung the old year out and the new one
in and new watch has come on deck.
If you think YOU are going right along
in the same old grooves, while the rest
of us are making changes, you are up
tree You've got to toe the mark along
with the remainder of the world.
Now, then; YOU are beginning life.
You are from sixteen to twenty-One
years old. You think you know all
about it, but the fact is you are mt more
than half-baked yet. What you don't
know would cover all Lake Erie, while
your worldly wisdom wouldn't knock
al owl off his perch. Suppose you
make 4 resolve to begin the year 1884
by not knowing more than half as much
as Plato, Diogenes and otherwise men,
If YOU should condescend to admit that
YOU didn't even know more than your
own father, it wouldn't greatly affect
your general standing with the world.
Perhaps YOU smoke and chew What
| for? What's the use of paying outSlOO
Il year to insure bad breath, headaches,
red eyes, decayGd teeth and nervous de-
|
leg, which is far nicer, by a tumble
down stairs? Chewing is q vicious,
nasty habit. Smoking affects the brain
and nerves and stomach. We admit
! that young chap of your age look
| like q great statesman when he comes
down the avenue putting away at five
cent grab, but suppose you didn't look
| like ANYBODY hut Yourself?
| Maybe you drink little; very prob
ably you do. A young man of your
age is apt to think it smart to guzzle
down lager and tipple wine. but there S
where he is lame. Even old drunkards
5ould caution you against the practice.
Drink not only wastes money, but it
sewers friendships, breeds anger, brings
about quarrels, and there is no end to
| the train. of wretchedneSs it entails.
Yes, great lawyers, statesmen, poets
and philosophers drink, but they lose
respect by it. Men have a contempt
for their weakness, and the world reads
their epitaphs with sneers. Don't make
a persimmon of yourself because some
one else has.
Played poker or faro yet? If so, we
hope you got such skinning as will
last you your lifetime. Let gambling
alone. Fight as shy of gambling rooms
as you would of a mad dog. People
tell you about luck. That's all bosh.
The gambler has you by the throat the
moment you enter his door. You can't
make any money out of him, but he will
see to it that you add to his capital.
Now. as to your personal traits. You
may have come naturally by your
egotism. but keep it in check, The
world in general looks upon it as dis,
ease. Even if you know all you think
YOU know the rest of us won't admit it.
Men hate boosters and braggarts.
Bluntness is q good thing sometimes;
sometimes it isn't. Ciyility and con-
scientious regard for other people s
feelings are trump cards in the game Of
life. Be charitable without encourag-
ing vice; be honest in your opinions,
but don't imagine that it Is your duty
to break up family or start church
scandal; in your dealings be square
You may lose by it for a time, but when
the public comes to understand thai
you are just and upright man you
make money and keep friends as well

Out on the Prairie,
Concerning Something Better than Mrs
Toodles Wheelbarrow-And the
Reasons Why.

When certain ComInissary- General complain
ed to the Duke of Wellington that Sir Thomas
Picton had declared he would hang him if the RS
lions for that Generals division were not forth
coming at q certain hour, the Duke replied:
'Ah! did he indeed 90 so far as that, Did he
say he'd hang your:
Yes my lord
well, General i';c;on il jgst the man to keep
his word. You'd better get the Tations up in
time"
But to get rations or anything else up in time
one must know how to lay his hand on them. As
Mr. Toodles said about the coffin which he had
bought at auction and brought homo to his wife:
IF anything should happen. my dear, it will be
so handy to have in the house"
Being in the great wholesale drug house OF VIM
Hart, in Elgin, H., one day, Mr. g. H. Sherman,
corning PARKER'S TONIC: Il have used it in
my family for two years, and Iunhesitatingly pro-
nounce it the best medicine we have ever used.
1t is handy to have in the house, and we are never
without it,.
Culed from the mass of reasons why Mr.. Sher-
man was right, be good enough to consider these
First, PARKER's TONIC is delicious to the pal
ate 1t invgnrates, but does not promote lore for
strong drink; third it cures coughs and colds by
inciIing the torpid organs into healthy action and
opening al the pores of the skin; fourth, it par
ies the blood, thus curing kidney, liver and lung
diseases and rheumatism; fifth
But take it into your house and it will speak for
