chicken-pie, with rose on the top made Of
the crust. And several brace Of roasted
duck; and bowls Of cranberry sauce; and
mince and pumpkin pies; and toothsome
doughnuts. And trays of bread cut in gen.
erous slices; bread that was made with
care and ''salt-risin," !" and, oh dear! could
not give an inventory Of all the good things
if tried to, or describe the varied qualities
that made the occasion one to be
remembered. But there was one incident
that was of moment to at least two per-
sons present Sanford Stiles was seated
opposite Mollia. He did not get there until

dinner was on the table, or ho would have
been down at the far end among the boys,
and remote from Mollie, on the principle
existing nearly every where-that lovers
must be made as uncomfortable as possible.
He could only telegraph with his eyes, but
he did that to such good effect that Mollie
put sugar on her turkey and salt into her
coffee, and would never have known it but
for that scamp Bob. And then, as bad
luck would have it, Granther Hartner, who
is quite deaf, began to ask questions.
"Seen ye Outen the garding a-huntin' for
somethin' t'other day, Bob; seen all hands,
in fact. Lost any thin'l'
This was BOb's opportunity. He bawled:
ayes, granp', MOll lost her ringi Stop
maxim faces at me, Sam Stilesi / amt
scarf of you.''
"a ring-what ringi hey-was it goldlo
inquired the old man.
''Talking of gold" began Uncle Dan'l,
''in '49, when was in Californy''-
But terrific shrek from Bob at that
moment stopped alike the discourse and the
dinner. That youth was shut up like q
jack knife, and his face distorted in some
kind of agony.
"He's swallowed the wish-bone,n sug-
gested Sam.
1.-THE dear child's choking to death p'
cried his mother.
Mollie alone was equal to the occasion.
Without moments hesitation she threw o
pitcher of water over him. He gasped and
sputtered.
''Oh, won't pay you for thatr' he ex-
claimed, as soon as he got his breath.
-at-her-hand-she got the ring
on this minnit.''
Yes, there she stood, blushing ROSY red,
but holding out with the determination of a
martyr that telltale hand on which the
wide band of gold nestled confidingly.
"Where did you find itl'' from all at
once.
''In the turkeys CROP" said Mollie,
cody, she must have swallowed it Just as
you dropped it, Sanford"
''Children," said Farmer Hartner, quiet
ly, 'jine hands,"
Sanford Stiles rose to his feet and
reached stalwart arm across the table.
Mollie, with gentle dignity, laid hcr hand
in his.
'That settles it." said the father, "Pss
give We the best I've got 'thout it's her
mother, an hope yen do right by each
other an be happy. Now let's see if we can
hev suthin' to eat"
''Spoons," yelled Bob. His mother
tweaked his ear gently, and his father
looked stern, so he concluded; "Can't eat
with my fingers, can II 'Spose Pm out
dollar now after all my grubblin' = didn't
'spect that old turkey was agoin' to turn
into jewel box"
But it is not likely that Bob lost the dol
lar. do not believe in bribes, but some
times they are the best part of discretion.
From that day the boy never alluded to
''rings," turkeys" or ''big swallows" as he
most assuredly would have done if he had
not been bought of.
The supper that followed that dinner was
equally imposing. And after it the two
lovers sat side by side, aud counted apple
seed, and burned paired chestnuts, and
popped corn, while thef: elders told stories
and feasted.
Late that night, when Mrs. Hartner was
dragging sleepy little Ben, the ''tot," up to
bed-he having been mapping all evening"
she looked in on her young daughter, who
sat dreamily regarding her ring with a sus-
picious mOistness in the great blue eyes.
''What is the matter, Nollief" asked her
mother, tenderly.

The Late Ex-AIderman O,Keere.

John F. O'Keefe, ex-Alderman and ex- president of the Board of Councilmen, was found dead Saturday morning at the bottom of flight of stairs leading from the dining room of his house at No. 13 Osborn street, near State street. On the back of the head was long double gash, such as would be made by falling against the sharp edge of the stairs His dead body was first discovered by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Carr, who had kept house for him since his wife died Medical Examiner M c. White was called and decided that death was due to apoplexy. It is supposed that MT. Keefs came home Friday night and was stricken by the disease just as he began to mount the flight of stairs. In his fall he cut his head badly. MT. O'Keefe was forty years old. He came to this city from Boston about 1870 and be- gan business as plumber. He sat in the lower chamber of the citys legislature in 1880 and 1881, during his second term oecu- pying the presiding officers chair. In 1SS2-3 he was member of the Board of Aldermen. In politics MT. OKeefe was a straight-out Democrat.
 The medical examiner was of the opinion that he had been dead some hours when found. Mrs. Carr retired at about 10 and MT. OKeefe had not then returned. She is much prostrated by the sad event. Mr. O'Keefe's death creates sorrow among many friends. He was hard worker and an in dustrieus and honorable citizen. He leaves four children, three girls and one boy. The oldest of them is fourteen. The funeral will be conducted by San Salvador council, Knights of Columbus, from which order the family will receive benefit of about 200.

seuthbury,s Gang of Rowdtes.

SoUTHBURY, Feb. 27.-Over against the Housatonic river, in the western part of the town, lies district generally known as South Britain, up to within year ago as quiet aneighborhood as anybody could desire. However, it had one resident, named Dwight Todd, who was regarded by the other inhab- itants as bold, bad man. He kept saloon styled hotel and where twelve months ago some of the young men broke out into sud den acts of outlswry. The neighbors laid the cause of the trouble at Todd's door, and he was arraigned on charges of violating the license laws. Ever since the upholders of temperance have carried on vigorous cru sade against him. Some weeks ago Elizur Nitchell's valuable barn, with it's contents-a big stock of tobacco-was burned by incendiaries
 South Britain was in 8 ferment, and ven geance was vowed upon the wicked. One night August Bossmann, 6 young fellow of twenty-six, and George Gilbert, aged thirty two, were arrested for the crime. At the justices trial Gilbert turned States evidence and testified that Dwight Todd had paid him $25 to burn the barn, Mitchell being strong temperance man. Todd was bound over to the Superior 5court in $2, 800. He furnished bonds, and Gilbert, unable to get similar sureties, went to the New Haven County jail, where he now is. There also is Adolph Scheilk, youth who is serving short sen tence on the charge of robbing South Britain church. A gang of young reprobates, who have a club room in the town, have been carefully watched. They are accused of other misdeeds, which include poisoning horses, desecrating church walls with inde- cent inscriptions, and countless minor of lenses. It is alleged that conclusive evil dence has been obtained against them and that the old town is to be startled in a day or two by score of arrests. The order-loving citizens are doing their best to rcot out the gang, and they have good chance of doing SO. The feeling against Todd is extremely bitter, and there have been threats of vigi- lance committee.

 What bids fair to re7olntionize tho iquor business in this country Is a recent claim of Baltimore concern, to have dis covered 6 secret process of eliminating fusel oil from whiskey. There is proba- ply nothing in the last century that has been the source of more investigation and experiment.. among scientists and chemists, than the search after this se- crst, and if the firm in Baltimore possesses it-as they evidently do, jsdgtng from the statements of our most eminent men or science, and the fact that they openly suo- init their product to the andy sis or any intelligent chemist, and challenge the finding of any trace of fusel oil or other poisonous Ingredients, thsrein-they Will indeed, not only revo1uttonize this trade, but will reform, in 8 great measure, the practice of medicine. Already. owing to the alacrity with which physicians take hold of 1t, 1t has begun to be the recogS nized stimulant ia the treatment Of dts' eases. such as consumption, dyspepsia, malaria and recovery from all wasting mafadies. It is likely, therefore, not only to supercede all other whiskies, but bran dies, wines and the like, will have to suc- cumb The only difference between these latter and whiskey being the percentage of alcohol they contain, this new whis- key, which Is said to be absolutely free from fusel oil, will only have to be dilus- ed, in order to make 1t correspond in strength with any desired stimulant. The absence in it, of this active poison fusel oil, will also make it the only stimulant, not followed by after effects, most unde- sirable in their character and so notable in the use of all other stimulants. The proprietors are distilling their new whis- key from malt, and combining, as it does a food and stimulant quality, 1t will no doubt have a tendency on account of its medicinal virtues. to wean over many of the present devotees of rye, corn and other decoctions, in which the fatal fusel oil is ever present. This whiskey is said to be very agreeable to the taste, and has be- come very popular with insalids and oth- CTS, to whom most stirnulants are objec- tt0nable.

A Physicfan,s Wife Who Suffered for Months From Cancer of the Womb, Cured by pr. Henfon at lO9 Orange Street.
 Mrs S. M. Waller, the wife of D. W. Wal 1er M. D. of Montague, Mass, suffered in- tensely for months from cancerous alteration of the womb Her husband, who is a regu- lar physician, treated her long time, but she grew worse, and he then called council of three different physicians who said there was no help for her, but advised Dr. Waller to place her under the care of a cancer doctor in central New York, where she remained for 26 weeks. She still continued to grow worse and had decided to go home to die when friend sent her a paper with notice of Dr. Hen ions cures, and she induced her husband to take her on to New Haven to consult Dr. Henion. After an examination the doctor said that he could cure the cancer, and, ac- cordingly, gave her magnetic treatment. Dr. Henion gave her one magnetic treat ment every other day for three weeks and entirely cured her. Dr. Waller says he is aware that physicians are very much preju- diced against advertising doctors and that he will be ostracised for endorsing Dr. Henion, but he says he is willing to abide by the consequences, for if Dr. Henion did not advertise he would never have known of him and his wife would have died; therefore he frankly and freely gives this statement, hoping that it may be the means of saving some other poor sufferers; he also advises those who are suf- fering and cannot find relief to call on Dr. Henion, at 109 Orange street, New Haven, as he feels confident that Dr. Henion's magnet ic treatment will cure after all other means fail. Dr. Henion consults free from 9:30 a. m until 6 pm.

The M Market Affected by the Blizzard -OnIy Local Orders to Make Busf- ness-Not Much Doing and 8 Dull
 Day the Natural Consequence.
 New York; Feb s7, 1886.
 The northwest gale of wind has played such havoc with telegraph wires during the last thirty six hours that the stock market has been almost completely shut out from provincial orders either to buy to sell. Consequently there was to-day nothing but local business and small one at that. Dullness was in fact the salient feature of the market This is not to say, however that there were not here and there aoms symptoms of spas modic activity. The sharp advance in Pacific Mail and Manhattan Consolidated showed the contrary Pacific Mail, under reports that MT. c. P. Hunting ton. of Southern Pacific railroad netoriety, buy ing the stock. from 5OS to 5e16, though it fell back to 5114 at the close. The best for the bounce, however is attributable to the covering of
 scared short interest. The large earnings of Man haitian sufficiently account for the advance in this property. There was some talk of Michigan Gen. tral being good card to hold in the speculative pack upon reports that its January earnings were greatly better than those of and that those for February would figure up unexpectedly large As Canada Southern is side partner with Michi- gan Central in it's earnings it would look though the Canadian stock ought to be a good sale. There were some bits of news or rather rumors, about what the transcontinental railroads doing or intended to do, about what was to be done in the Reading construction business, and about this or that railroads cutting rates but they were all of such an unreliable and gossamer description as to be unworthy of special notice. Stripping te-d&y's market down to the naked truth, we find dullness firmness and strong belief in higher prices it's chief characteristics. Sales at the board amounted to 1S6 shares against 31S 822 yesterday and 29O 1855 Thursday
 Money loaned at 113@2 per cent.
