AFronttnAueuat.

The summer of 1884 is keeping up the rep utation for unusual summer weather. It be- gan with a killing frost, which did widespread damage, at the close of May. It extended from Vermont to Cape May. Another frost followed, though less severe, in the middle of June And now, after generally cool summer, followed by one week of very hot weather from the 17th to the 24th of August, a "cold wave" has come, with a feeling like October in the air last night and this morn ing.
 At daybreak the temperature in Hartford was 45'. In some of the surrounding towns it was lower; and in Bloomfield, at o'clock, it was 38o, with perceptib1e white frost on vegetation in 1owlying places In Windsor it was 39', and in East Hartford there was perceptible frost in many places. It is not thought that much harm was done: but there must have been sharper frost in some parts of the State.-Hartford Times.

Laying The Corner stone,

The corner stone of the new Roman Cath o1ic parochial residence at Southington was laid Sunday and the occasion was appropri- ately celebrated, some 2,000 people being in attendance. In the procession which left St. Thomas church at 4 o'clock in the after noon were the Young Mems Catholic Liter ary society, the Children of Mary, 800 Sun day school children, four young men carry ing the corner stone, and the following priests: The Very Rev. J. Hughes, V. G., Hartford; w. A: Harty, Waterbury; P; J. Tierney, New Britain; M. J. Lawler, Meri- den; P. J. Eagan, Meriden; P. J. McAlenny, Plainville; B. OR. Sheridan, Collinsville; R. J. Moore, Southington, and N. A. Hunt, pastor of St Thomas. The beautiful silver trowel and mallet, used in placing the stone, were the gifts of the architect, J. B. Frank lyn, of New York, and the builder, P. E. Read, of Hartford. In laying the corner stone the Very Rev. Father Hughes inserted package containing history of the event, names of contributors, some coins of the day and number of newspapers. The building is substantial but none the less elegant, and will cost, when completed, about SIC, 1000.

mistake about that Last winter we honest ly thought they could not be produced any lower than they were then, but we are buy ing them at very much less to-day. Yes, the humbug in the advertisements you often see about blankets is not in saying they are cheap, but in every advertiser trying to make you believe that he is selling them so much cheaper than every other one. If there is any difference in that way we ought to have the advantage, as we are much larger buyers (for our two stores) than any other New Haven firm. And the fact that in the last twelve months we have sold in New Haven twice as many blankets we ever did in the same length of time before leads us to sup pose that our prices must be about right, to say the least. But we would much rather have customers find out that by actual com parison than take it simply on our assertion.

CHARTER OAK PARK.

The Prospects for the Weeks Races
 Extremely GoOd-Some Special Exhf-
 bitions.
 The fall circuit races at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, open to-day with splendid first day programme. The 2:22 class includes such famous horses as King Wilkes, King Almont, Judge Davis and Index. The 2:17 pacers' class brings together several horses not hitherto known here, but who have ex- cellent records, guaranteeing close race. In the 2:29 class are many rapidly developing animals who may be expected to furnish an interesting contest. The great five mile race between Myrtle Peck and Madam Marantette is great attraction for to-day.
 On Friday MT. William Rockafeller's double team, Cleora and Independence, will trot an exhibition mile and repeat for purse of $1 1000, to beat the double team record of 2:15I.
 By vote of the managers no intoxicating liquors will be sold on the ground during the races and objectionable females will be ex- cluded.
 The track is in fine condition.

oh. These Advertisements:

q shall need some blankets pretty soon, but where shall buy them? Every dry goods dealer advertises that he is selling them cheaper than every other one. These are hard times and must buy them as cheap as can." So says Mrs. Prudence Careful. Well, madam, if you don't think you know enough about the goods or don't want to have the trouble of making comparisons, but are willing to buy Con faith" you will, of course, go to J. N Adam & Go. You know the reputation they always have had But if you feel as if you ought to see what they are all doing, by all means go and see them all and compare prices and qualities and you will find the result will be the same after all. You will buy at Adams; that is, if you really decide by the test of quality and price.

Criminal Negligence.

The Investigation by Coroner BolIman about the death of the new born child of Mary Smith, the absolute woman now at the almshouse, is that the child came to it's death from criminal negligence, although the mother did not designedly cause it's death. The woman is still at the almshouse and quite i'll. It is likely that City Attorney Gable will prosecute the woman on the find ing of the coroner. It is evident that the best thing that can be done with the half witted woman is to keep her in the almshouse during the term of her natural life.

Excitement on chapel street.

Yesterday forenoon while Louis O. Cow1es and lady were riding down Chapel street near Orange street the horse which the former was driving had severe fit of blind staggers. The lady jvmped from the car riage and Mir. Cowles got out quickly. Vet erinary Surgeon w. J. Sullivan, whose office was fortunately near, was sent for. He ar rived quickly and b1ed the animal and re- moved him to Henry Bristol's stable, on George street. While the horse was stag gering near the gutter it was feared that he would break through the large show windows of Kilbourn & Mulcahy. A large crowd was

 Faith Cures and the North Conway Meeting.
 The Rev. Arthur Sloan of Stratford, the Episcopal rector whose "faith cures" caused such disturbance in that church that Bishop Williams was finally called in to adjust mat ters, is now among the speakers at ''faith ] cure'' camp-meeting in North Conway, New Hampshire. Dr. Cullis, the famous Boston l leader of this modern phase of religious phe- | nomena, has removed his annual meetings l from Old Orchard Beach to North Conway, where he has purchased a large woodland
 tract on mountain side, opened streets, and 1 sold lots for cottage builders. The first
 meeting for practical "cures'' of the faithful 1 was held yesterday afternoon and dozer | persons were the subjects. The Cu1hs l pamphlets tell of men and women and even | of organic diseases, like the most malignant
 cancers, as well as pronounced pulmonary consumption, that are claimed to have beer
 cured by the faith, prayer and annointine 1 method of Dr. Cullis

Everybody is selling blankets cheaper than everybody else just at present. Isn't that about the conclusion one comes to after reading the advertisements now in the New Haven papers? Well, the only thing you can do is to judge for yourself by looking at the goods and making com parisons. If you do that carefully and buy accordingly we know it will 'suit our book' exactly. J. N.
