HoUsAToNIC RIVER IMPRovEM1

Rev. 0. H. Proctor of Derby has accepte call as assistant to the bishop of Arkansas with charge of the cathedral at Little Rock
Morning journal and courier., 1888-02-10

While making his rapid tour of inspection in this country, and ordering rails, engines, Pullman cars of exceptional value and rich ness of decoration, steam launches, &c.,, for his oriental kingdom, the great Thrakore Sa- hib was taken i'll at the Windsor Hotel with extreme nervous exhaustion and prolonged headache, accompanied by spells of dizziness.
 Learning of this and that the physicians called afforded him no relief, MT. Cannon, the manager of the Scotch Oats Essence company, of this city, sent to the prince three bottles of the great nervine and tonic Scotch Oats Essence, so popular both here and in England. The prince used but half a bottle, was at once restored to health and vigor, and went on his way rejoicing.
 As he had not even thanked Mir. Cannon, it was supposed that the great man had for gotten such trife, but yesterdays steamer from England brought the letter of thanks and 8 most magnificent piece of oriental jewelry, a rough sketch of which is here given. Its value, being set with magnificent diamonds, must be great. The chasing and other work is marvel of oriental skill.
 It is curious fact that but few sick pee- pie remember their doctors favorably when well, but this is a notable exception. Scotch Oats Essence is unquestionably the most brilliant medical discovery of modern and advanced medical science, and is well worthy of so handsome 6 teken of merit and es teem.

 Of the non-residents 406 gave lack of work as the cause of destitution, but from their general appearance and the fact that they generally admitted having lodged in the po- lice station one or more nights before coming to the office it is probable that the great ma jerity were simply tramps.

No doubt they will be well rewarded for their labors. An interesting fact is that the armory will be lighted by electricity, the first time Branford ties have had the electric light in town. Thomas orchestra of New Haven will fur nish the music and Professor William Church of Hartford will prompt. There will be many friends here from New Haven and sur rounding towns.
