The Roulevard sewer.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 noticed in your paper yesterday morning under the head of ''Board of Public Works'' petition signed by about sixty "citizens and taxpayers in which they 'believe that the building of the boulevard sewer can be de- ferred without danger to the public health, &c.," and therefore ask that 1t be indefinite ly postponed. Is it strange that these gen tlemen should ask for the postponement of the building of this much needed sewer when they, nearly every one of them, have first class sewer in front of their residences, which we taxpayers in the western part of the city have contributed to build? Oh, no. They are we'll served, and we in the western part of the city may await their time and pleas ure. But, gentlemen, we do not propose to ask you when we shall have this sewer. We know it to be 8 sanitary necessity. We have petitioned for years to the Common Council to give us an outlet for the accumulating filth and we were told that the appropriations would not permit the building of the much needed sewer, and why? Because it was being used in building sewers in front of the very mems property who now object to the boulevard sewer Alderman Kennedy hit the nail on the head when he said 'it was scheme Cn the part of the taxpayers to defeat the build when they placed the petition under their feet and ordered the work to proceed
 All we ask is equal rights in common with other citizens. The appropriations are made;
 now, gentlemen, put it to completion.

The Terrible Drain

Which scrofula has upon the system must be arrested, and the blood must be purified, or serious consequences will ensue. For puri- flying and vitalizing effects, Hoods Sarsapa- r1lla has been found superior to any other preparation. It expels every trace of impu- rity from the blood, and bestows new life and vigor upon every function of the body, en- abling it to entirely overcome disease.

Attention is called to the advertisement of the Crane & Franklin Stove company suc- cessors to the Franklin Stove company, To- cated at 833 Chapel street.

H. Crane, Esq, had determined to close out his business here and remove to New Haven, Conn, has unfortu- nately been verified. While we are con- strained to believe that MT. Cranes fine bus mess per captions cannot be at fault in inn polling him to this change, we very much regret that he has deemed it expedient to abandon the scenes of his early struggles and triumphs, sever the ties that bind him to old Machias, close his long and successful career here and deprive the town of one of it's most respected and enterprising citizens. While it is our loss, however, it is others gain, and while deploring the breach oc- casioned by the removal of our neighbor to the land of steady habits,' we felicitate the people of New Haven upon this accession to their best business and social interests"

me; but as I did not know it, and have not the notes, all can say is that I am happy to be here with you Barnes to-day. I think these reunions are very good thing, and should be kept up in the future by our de- scendants. Still my thoughts are sad as I sit here to day and know that some of the faces have seen here in past years have gone to their last reunion"
 J. W. Barnes of Perth Amboy, N..J was next called upon, and arising said that he was not able to make speech, as he did not know one was expected from him, but that he heartily agreed with the last speaker in thinking these family reunions should be kept up in the future.
 Truman E. Barnes was next called, but he begged to be excused, as were he and An drew F. Barnes, of Southington, who was also called.
 Who the first Barnes was or where he came from cannot be shown for certainty by any of the Barnes of the present day, but the history given in the address by Dr. Barnes, of Oxford, has the most foundation.
 Others who made speeches were: Augustus Barnes, of Southington, and Stephen Barnes, of Branford. Old Dr. Barnes of Southing- ton, man seventy-fve years of age, who during the recent Plainville camp meeting walked from Southington to Plainville and return, a distance of fifteen miles, every day of the meeting, sang an ode of his own on the Barnes family, which caused those pres ent to laugh until the tears streamed down their faces. Dr. Barnes also claims to have the seal of the Barnes family 500 years ago.
 During the afternoon Miss Anna Barnes. daughter of Truman Barnes of Southington, who, although having no training, shows ex- traordinary ability as an elocutionist, recited 'tPoor Joe" and "Billy's Rose'' in such touching manner as to bring tears to the eyes of some of the ladies present.
 Miss Barnes was rendered vote of thanks by those present for her part in the pro- gramme. -
 After passing vote thanking Miss Edith Richards for the song, the following officers we're elected for the ensuing year: A. S. Barnes of New York, president; s. H. Barnes of New Haven, secretary and treasurer; J. w. Barnes of Newark. N. J., assistant secretary and treasur,r; directors, Dr. Lewis Barnes of Oxford, w. A. Barnes of Bridgeport. T.
