See his advertisement in another column, which also gives his dates for Falls Village, Norfolk, Lake vile, Salisbury and Sharon. It is sev- eral years since Mir Brown has visited us, and his well-known reputation, to- gether with the talent assisting him, will doubtless insure him full attend ance. Reserved seats can now be pro- cured at the post-office. The Salem, N. Y, Press, mentioning late entertain ment given by this company, says: "Comical Brown delighted the citizens of Salem with one of his unique enter tainments in the opera house on We'd nesday evening.

 Much sympathy has been expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barnum in the loss of their beautiful little daughter, who came to them only one short year ago. She made their home bright with her happy smiles and winsome ways, when, just as her little feet began to carry her from room to room, and she began to lisp the household names, she sickened and died. All that care and medical skill could do was done, but all was uuavailing. She fell asleep to waken on that beautiful shore, where there is no more sickness nor sorrow. but happiness evermore. The funeral was attended on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. Mir. Moore speaking words of com fort to the bereaved parents.

Or How The Connecticut Western
 News Gives its subscribers Value
 Received for their Money.
 All our old subscribers understand that we endeavor to make The News itself worth the subscription price.
 They furthermore know that we can- not directly club The News with other papers and periodicals without robbing The News of the time which legitimate ly belongs to it and which Is essential to make an interesting paper, yet through Eglestons subscription agencyT News is clubbed with every desirable periodi- cal published, for it will readily be seen that 1t is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one subscription agency than to record one item with 5000 different publishers.
 Thus while we do not directly club with other publications we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency, to club The News with 5000 or more periodicals.
 Mir Eglestons advertisement, "Choice Reading at Club Rates" in another col umn enumerates only fraction of the periodicals that may be clubbed with The News.
