A SWfndler.


A man who has been going about from
house to house attempting to force resi-
dents to buy numbers for their houses by
telling them that they must buy them or
be sued, came to grief yesterday after
noon, The police caught him and accom-
panied him into the august presence of
Magistrate Chopper. He tried the man
on the charge of "obstreperous conduct
which covers a multitude of sins, and
fined him SIS and costs. This was letting
the villain off easy for he might have been
held upon the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, for which the pun
ishment is very heavy, but then the cons
plainants had not been fiecced. Since
then complaints have been made by per-
sons who did pay him money.

THE ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.


 Next Tuesday twelve Senators (from the odd-numbered distriets) and two hundred and forty-nine Representatives are to be elected in this State. The Senators are to be elected for one year only. After this year all the Senators and all the Representa- tives will be elected for two years; and in January, 1887, the legislature will assemble for the first time under the new constitution al provision that it shall meet in regular sss sion only y,once in two years. None of the Senators nor Representatives to assemble next January will vote for a member of the United States Senate. Those chosen next fall for two years will have that duty to per form.
 The list of Republican senatorial nomina- tions is complete, and it is very good one. In the First district, which is Hartford, Fran cis B. Cooley is the nominee. In the Third, George P. Mclean, of Simsbury, one of the rising young men of the State, received the nomination. Bronson B. Futile, of Nauga- tuck, is the nominee in the Fifth. In the Seventh Franklin D. Jackson, of Derby, was chosen. MT. Jackson has had experience in the lower house, and is we'll qualified for promotion. In the Ninth dlStr1ct, Senator Stiles T. Stanton, who has good legislative record, was renominat- ed. The other nominees are as follows: Eleventh district, James M. Cook, of Volun- town; Thirteenth, William B. Glover, of Fairfield; Fifteenth, Joel G. Foster, of Dan bnry; Seventeenth, Charles W. Grosvenor, of Pemfret; Nineteenth, T. s. Gold, of Corn wall; Twenty first, John W. Marvin, of Say brook; Twenty-third, Henry s. Dean, of South Coventry. These are all good names and for an ''of year" they are unusually good.
 Most of the nominations for representatives have been made, and they are up to the av- craze. The New Haven Republicans nomi- nate this evening, and while it is usually rather hopeless business to try to get New Haven we'll represented in the legislature, it is to be hoped that this time a good ticket will be presented to the voters and a hearty effort made to elect it. It seems to us that there is chance for the Republicans of New Haven to do something this year. They should not fail for lack of effort.

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind ! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost ill admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- trOyed?
 AS ''aIl men are born free and equal," as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is conceded question. To re- store it is an impOssibility, as long as people persist in immOr- ality and indulgencies which are ill disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals. To this end we offer to the pub- lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results ill OyerthrOWing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is a reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostration, Depression caused by OyerwOrk, etc. These remedies are Eextensive- ly prescribed by physicians, a. recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists in New England larger sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A EXTRAORDINARY THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. AS positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon applica- tiOn.
