Shore AmuSement-Parties Coming.
 There have been large assemblies at Howes' skating rink on the stated evenings when the band plays, and sufficient encouragement has been given the proprietor already to insure it's continuance. Places where the public can have wholesome and beneficial amuse- ment are none too numerous and the skating rinks at the shore, both MT. Howes' and MT. Skeeles', meet popular want. Every pleasant afternoon the rinks are lively with skaters. A large placard is up announcing that spec tators' seats are free to the public. There will be a large Waterbury party at MT. Howes' pavilion on Saturday, and on Satur- day evening MT. Dennis and MT. Card give an exhibition of fine skating at the rink, and there will be good music, as usual.
 The new rain storm came up yesterday af- ternoon just as people were getting ready to enjoy themselves at the shore and caused a general rush of visitors back to the city.
 Another large crowd at the shore Saturday will be the Ansonia Caledonian club and friends, who will visit Savin Rock hill as the guests of MT. Skeeles.
 The Waterbury parties for Saturday are 8 large temperance organization and the Chris tian association of that place.
 There were nearly 1, 200 people at Howes' skating carnival Wednesday night and there was great demand for the rollers.

q represent the New Haven Oil company I am offering one hundred and seventy test kerosene oil for one dollar for ten gallons There is 0 monopoly in this article. It's cost is about seven cents a gallon. We propose to sell it to the consumer for fair price We through our branch houses are deter mined to break up this monopoly in the oil business. We deliver it in swivel cans, which the oil purchaser can keep for one dol lar and twenty-five cents can or not, as he likes. One may pay now or wait for the oil which will be shipped immediately. If one choose to pay now, 1 will deduct ten per cent" Thus spoke man of soiled linen and of about 200 pounds weight, who visited Gran by a few weeks since, determined to render the people happy in their use of one hundred and seventy-f1ve test oil at very cheap rate Some gave orders and some paid in advance. The salesman advanced through the town and out of it, into an ad- joining town and through it, taking orders from the confding, is supposed, daily wherever his feet have carried him and his audacity served him. It is thought that he represents different oil companies, taking orders in the interest of one not nearer than about fifty miles. We had no need of oil when our peregrinating oil man called on us. Otherwise we should not be anxiously await him for further light. A cider-drun1en tramp found by the roadside recently here was awakened and asked: ''What may call your name?" "Cal it what you please, :" was the reply. Tramps are becoming more and more common in spite of the informa- tion given them of Connecticut stringent tramp laws.
 L. w CIeaveland, of New Haven, after spending ten days at Lake View, Framing ham, Mass, and four days in Boston, reach ed this place yesterday to remain here for a time. He thinks MT. Blaine is to be our next President, but the young mans father thinks that the young mans sixth cousin will be the next President of the United States.
 The Republicans of this town are settling down with growing conviction that MT. Blaine is not only fit, but ought to be Presi- dent of this republic. Such is the feeling of some who at first thought he "was not the man."
 Grover Cleveland, however, has enthusi- astic admirers in this town and will doubt less secure every Democratic vote and possi- bly, several Republican votes. In our hum ble opinion Blaine and Logan, Cleveland and Hendricks are perfect gentlemen, able states men and worthy men, sample products of our nations best citizens. July 31.

This morning the market opened strong, and under the leadership of Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and St. Paul. all of which were actively bid up, the whole list with few exceptions advanced almost uninterruptedly until midday. At that hour the net result of the morn lngs trading was to leave prices ii to per cent. mgher than those of the previous evening. The pears made several attempts to check the advance by raiding the leaders but their offerings were quickly absorbed by the sustaining cliques The for mer however, unusually tinnid in their opera hons and appeared apprehensive of a trap. As the day wore on and prices continued to advance the shorts became alarmed and rushed to buy. The last half of the day witnessed the most active ket for long time past The buying extended to the entire list and large blocks of the leading shares changed hands. At times the board room was a scene of the widest excitement The upward movement continued until half hour before the close, when there heavy selling to realize profits. This caused reaction of 1 to SIS per cent. from the best prices but notwithstanding this the market closed up firm at an advance for the whole of the active list of 1S to 5 per cent. over last nights figures. Some of the specialties, however, closed at sharp decline but in the majority of in stances most of this class of stocks closed higher The sales to-day aggregated over 5s40OO shares.

A wire netting placed over the copings of the Pierce block, Norwich, to keep the pigeons off proves an excellent place for the English sparrows to build their nests. The birds are working industriously and half dozen nests have already been completed. The nests are built of straw, and for so small bird are most capaeious, appearing in bulk about as large as a crows nest. The birds build two kinds of nests, the open hollow structure and a globular nest with hole in the side for an entrance. This difference the nest archi- lecture proves that the birds have little choice about the style of the place they lodge in

The stomach and other organs seemed to sympa- tize with it and to have lost all power of action. For long time my life despaired of, but at length recovered so far to be able to ride out. By the advice of my physician I visited Poland Springs (Vt9 hoping to benefit from the waters. But they did me no good Neither were the best physicians of Lowell and Boston whom consulted able to afford me more than transient relief I gained no strength and my case appeared almost hopeless. In the fall friend advised me to try KENNEDY'S FAVORTTE REMEDY and although opposed to patent medicines, made the trial To make long story short-FAVORITE REMEDY, in my opinion, saved my life. consider it the best preparation in the world for stomach difficulties as well as of the Liver and other organs am glad to say it is in general use among the railroad men in this vicinity.

A New Way to Catch SVVOrdhshs
 One day last week the schooner Jennie, Captain James Davis, of Stonington, was anchored on Cox's ledge, codfshing. The usual method in summer is to anchor the schooner and put off in small boats, so aS to avoid getting the lines entangled and also to bring the bait to the notice of larger nun Der of fish. The small boats are anchored by means of grapnels. While fishing thus one of the men noticed large swordfsh swimming along with his mouth open, near the surface of the water. The fish moved slowly along apparently feeding, just ahead of the boat. The grapnel rope was directly in his path, and, whether by accident or de- sign, he caught it in his mouth. Instead of retreating, as one would have expected him to do, he kept forging ahead, the rope, of course. re
 maining in his mouth. The men. at first. fearful of being capsized, tried to clear the rope, but when they found that he did not struggle, they began to pull in on the rope. which slipped through his mouth until the grapnel points caught against the side of his head. By swimming backward he could easily have freed himself, but so long as he tried to swim ahead he was held by the boat, which was being lowed slowly along Seeing what had happened the other boats came up Another grapnel rope was fastened to the first, and the end carried to the schooner. The fish was slowly pulled to the vessel, one fisherman lanced him through the gills with an ear blade, while another stuck boat hook into his body and a third slipped moose around his dukes. He weighed when dressed nearly 400 pounds.-ProWdence Journal.
