Oh, What an Awful Breath.

There is nothing more healthful than onions. The trouble is that persons are afraid to eat them because they make the breath unfragrant. But there is less fra grant breath than that freighted with onions. We mean the breath of person with foul stomach. Take him awayl we inwardly cry when he whispers in our ear. Do see that your breath is pure. Take few Brandreths pills and regulate your liver, stomach and bowels and your breath will be sweet.

The time-honored project of the New York and Boston 'Inland" railroad, which was to cross the Connecticut just below Middletown end run straight across hill and valley to- ward Boston, has received a fresh impetus from the recent stir in railroad matters.

ON CHAPEL STREET.

Miss K. IF. Christiess Showcase shat.
 tered and Contents StoIem-NO Clue
 to the Thieves.
 A very clever thief perpetrated robbery on Miss E. P. Christie, the well known Chapel street milliner, early Tuesday even- ing. Miss Christie's millinery rooms are over Monson 6 Carpenters store, and she has a showcase filled with sample stock exhibited at the foot of the stairway on the Chapel street walk. It has been the custom of a hired colored man to carry the case upstairs nightly and deposit it at the door of Miss Christie's room in the hallway, and in the morning carry it back to the walk again. Tuesday night when the colored man looked for the case to bring up stairs it couldn't be found. Early yesterday morning it was found in the rear of the building, the glass in the case shattered and the contents, consist ing of bonnets, feathers, plumes and velvets, gone. It appears that the thief carried the case to the rear of the building before the wonted time for the colored man to make his appearance, and rified it of it's contents, which were valued at S25.

Gold Dollars Scarce and Brokers Sell Ing Them for a Dollar and twenty
 Five CeRts-The Girls Must Have

 Brokers have reaped quite little harvest in procuring and selling at premium gold dollars, which were in great demand holiday week. As the government doesn't coin any more of them at present and they are scarce, they have been bought up eagerly from the brokers who sold them at 8 premium of twenty per cent, chiefly to young ladies who wished to make use of them for bangles or to be placed on other articles of ornamen- tation. The persons who were lucky enough to get the coins in a business way through the banks did not have to pay any premium on them. But with the banks and brokers there is scarcity of the coin.
