Br. Hen1on, the Magnetic Physician
 at 1O9 Orange Street, New Haven.
 Dr. Henion, who performed so many re- markable cures in Loomis' Temple, has moved his office to 109 Orange street, where he heals the sick every day from 9:30 a. m. to p. m. Dr. Henion's practice is mostly in diseases of chronic nature. He is en- dowed with the magnetic healing gift to a wonderful degree. Many diseases of long standing that are given up as hopelessly in curable are restored to health in short time by the application of his hands to the afflicted parts. Many of the best people of New Ha- ven and surrounding country are numbered among Dr. Henion's patrons. Many cases get we'll from one treatment, while others may require dozen or more treatments, and the treatment is more permanent than by any other method. The statement of Judge York, which has been published in this paper and which cannot be refuted, shows that Dr. Henion cured him twelve years ago and he has never had a return of the dis ease since. The doctor will from time to time present other people who have been permanently and radically cured by his treatment, and are living witnesses of his mysterious healing powers. Dr. Henion guarantees to cure piles, Assure, fstula and cancer without the use of the knife or pain to the patient. He also guarantees to cure all female complaints, no matter of how long standing, without exposure or the use of instruments; gout, rheumatism, dys- pepsia. consumption, sore eyes, deafness, neuralgia, liver complaint, jaundice, dropsy, kidney and bladder troubles, skin disease, nervous exhaustion, lameness, tumors and spinal diseases of all kinds are cured by his magnetic power, after all other means fail. If the ordinary methods of doctoring fail to afford relief, we advise you to call on Dr. Henion at his rooms, 109 Orange street. He consults free of charge from 9:30 a. m. to D. m.

SOMETHING FOR DYs7EPTIcs.
A Deluded People.

From the Phila Medical Recofd9
 We do not mean to intimate that all the so-called remedies for dyspepsia are value less, but human credulity is so strong, that some unscrupulops persons trade up- on the fears of the weak and debfhtated. Among the things which appeal So strong ly to this weakness are Bltters. The very name is in their favor The mode of life of the average American IS or sucn character, that he is constantly In need oI a tonic. He is rushed at his business, sw'sl- lows his meals hastily and without any thought as to the capacity of his stomach for digestion, takes little rest. and neces- sarily feels hipped; is subject to headache, and takes often a gloomy view of things generally. In such cases he resorts to bit ters, under the delusion that they Will acs on the secretions of the stomach and give the system new strength and energy: The writer recently purchased samples of fopi of the most twfdely-advertised bitters f1 ehe market, and the simple chemical apaiysas to which they were suo1ecaed snoWeo that they contained about 30 per cent. (the amount the Government alloWsl or the most poisonous and adulterated alec. h3l and that the residuum consisted or various foreign substances, Whlch were simply added as fiavoring extracts, to dis guise the taste of the original compound. The poorer the grade of the alcohol the more vicious is the compound. The value which so-cal1ed bitters are supposed to have is of Q purely fictitious character. In fact, in time they irritate and lnJure the delicate membrane of the stomach
  soon cannot distinguish between good and bad These deeoctions are consumed principally by the debilitated, the conyat escent, the depressed and particularly by aged people and weak women and otheEs to whom a stimulant is indispensable. Now. while alcohol, especially in the form of whiskey Is acknowledged to be the best known stimulant snd IS prescribed and used by physicians for this purpose everywhere, we can't conceive why people will insist upon taking the alcohol ID the ,0fs 6n which they know nothing and which, as shown by analysis, contains fusel oil, vit- riol, catechu and poisons of the most deadly kind. It would be far better for them to come out boldly and use the pure article, something made from malt in which there is no fusel oil. There may se a little difficulty in obtaining n article of this kind, as there is oily one firm in the country te, the discoverers of Duffy's pure malt whiskey, which distifs it and whteh combines food and stimulating qualities.

Four Years to Serve in the Stone Man
 sion.
 In Middletown in the case of William Fra zier of Cromwell, charged with assault with intent to kill, the jury were out two hours and could only agree upon finding him gull ty of assault and battery. Judge Phelps charge WAS strongly in favor of finding the prisoner guilty of intent to kill. The full penalty of the law was administered, which was one year in Haddam jail and fine of $500. As the prisoner has no money the fine will compel him to stop in the stone man sion for three additional years.

A Frightening Comet.

''The comet discovered in Paris Dec. 1,' said Prof. Boss the Director of the Observa- tory, last night, ''is slowly increasing in
 brightness, and promises to be a grand spec tacle. About April the increase will begin to be much more rapid, and by the middle of April the comet will undoubtedly become vis- ible to the naked eye. Two weeks later it will be very much brighter-perhaps at it's maximum-and then it will probably be as brilliant spectacle as the great comet of 1881, which attracted so much attention. The position of the Paris conceive call comets, you know, by the names of their dis
 coverers or after the places from which they are first seen-will be much like that of the comet of 1881, and will be visible all night. It will be seen in the western sky early in the evening, as was that of 1881. It will appear very bright as there will be no moon to de- tract from it's brilliancy. When nearest the earth the comet will be only 12 ,0OO, ,000 miles distant. This will be nearer approach to

 New York, Feb. IS. 1866. At the opening of the stock market this morning the bears took advantage of the failure of the Transcontinental association to agree upon Fer centages and the obstacles that have recently aris en in the way of the proposed syndicate for con- trolling the coal trade to raid the market Stocks were unloaded at lively rate and prices during the first fifteen minutes declined sharply. Pacific Mail was the chief object of attack and the manner in which the stock of that company was thrown on the market gave rise the belief that insiders selling. By 10:15 the list was down A to a13 per cent, the latter in Pacific Mail. The selling died entirely out of the market by the first call and in the next hour and half to noon followed by a steady buying, said to be fer the most part the result of orders support certain stocks by inter day of all the early decline except in the of amounted to 1s1 900 shares for the two hours to noon, 25,oo0 of which in Lackawanna and 24, 600 in Pacific Mail After midday the selling was renewed and continued with but little interruption throughout the afternoon. Prices went down on almost every transaction and closed at the bottom figures of the day. The decline ranged from 14 to 25S per cent and was marked in Pacific Mail and Lackawanna. The specialtiss were weak and some of them recorded sharp declines. The sales were 430,62 shares.

MOodus Mill Hands Heirs to Millions
 A Meriden Man,s Hope.
 Moodus is excited over the report that four mill operatives there named Nancy Sears, Sarah Lowell, and David Blythe and Oliver Blythe, have fallen joint heirs to prop erty worth $7,OOO,00 Thomas H. Blythe, an Englishman who had settled at Moodus, went to California years ago to make his fortune, which he did. He died at San Francisco in 1883, but left no word as to who the heirs to his big fortune were. The affair was advertised by his executor exten- sive1y and many alleged relatives turned up to claim the millions. Only recently was ii accidentally discovered by Lawyer E. F. Johnson of Moodus that the above named mill hands were Blythe's brothers and sisters. He has just sent his proofs to the executors and feels sure he has found the le gal heirs.
 J. B. Sprewenburg, of Meriden, is the last person to be seized with the idea that he is heir to million. In this instance, however the story looks more plausible than in some others. His uncle died in the Dutch East Indies and his property was inherited by g son. The Meriden man thinks he can show there was no legal marriage and that he is the lawful heir

Nelson H. Baker, district attorney, West chester Co.,, New York, office at White Plains, writes, June 20, 1885: "Five years ago I. my two sons and wife were very lia- ble to colds We wore the heaviest cloth ing, wrapping ourselves up very warm; but 1t was colds, coughs and catar1h all the time. Finally We commenced wearing Allcock's Porous Plasters as chest protectors. The first year we got rid of our heavy flannel as we'll as all coughs and colds. We each wore two plasters on the chest and pit of the stomach for three or four weeks at time, then washed the parts with alcohol and put on fresh ones; they appeared to warm and invigorate the whole body so that we never took cold.'' f15 eod3t&w1t

LADY WHO HAS FOUR GREAT AUNTs LIVING
 IN THE TowN-GENERAL NEWS.
 The stereopticon exhibition by Judge Deming and MT. Steele, of New Haven, at the Congregational church last evening was thinly attended, one reason probably being the bad condition of the roads. The enter, tainment interesting throughout and we'll received by the audience. The views given were very large and distinct. and the lecture by Judge Deming was well worthy the good attention it received and merited a much larger audience.
 Howard McCabe, aged ten years, son of Thomas McCabe of the center district, has four great-great-aunts living in this town and by invitation of his mother, Mrs. McCabe, three of them spent the day with them on Monday of this week in honor of the birthday of one of the party. Mrs. Hervey Stiles. One of the aunts was not present on account of i'll health. The united ages of the four amount to 3e1. The oldest is Mrs. Jesse Clinton, aged 63; the others are Mrs. Hervey Stiles, 91, Mrs. Isaac Bassett, 79, and Mrs. Jared Pierpont, 78. They are some of the oldest residents of the town, but enjoy exceedingly good health considering their years, and seem quite capable of enjoying good visit like that on Monday.
 On account of difficulty in obtaining mail carrier the postoffice has decided to re- main where it is for few weeks more.
 The card printing business seems to in crease and flourish. The Futile brothers have engaged more hands for next week, and judging from the advertisement in the CoUR- FER the firm at Clintonville desires more help.
 Judging from the loads of furniture almost daily passing towards and from the city one would be led to think spring had already come, and the present mild weather helps to complete the delusion.
 The Ladies' Benevolent society is to meet at the house of MT. Samuel Todd, in the cen- ter district, on Thursday afternoon.
