srAwE CORRRsPoNDENCE.
North Haven,

\
 | May 29-Interesting meeting of North
 grange last evening; a large number present.
 Questions are st present asked in regard to
 Peter's Rockl Who is Peterl &c. Many
 people now living remember 8 small house
 standing on one side of the rock near the
 the rock and by some trees. The house was
 built and owned by Peter Crockett, an ec-
 centric individual for those days, but who
 would doubtless be very common place now. Everything is growing, even to the weeds. MT. Uri Butler grows weaker day by day, and it is not thought that he will recover. Mir. Henry Bradley was in town calling on friends one day this week, and 1t was re- marked by many that MT. Bradley looked and appeared much younger than he really is.
 Too many toads are drawn from the well at Memorial hall to give the water very good flavor. N. Clifford Pardee, teacher at Clintonville, and his friend Wm. Leland, both of South Norwalk, spent last Sabbath with MT. and Mrs Ohss. Turner. Miss Clara Brookett, granddaughter of Mr. Geo. Crockett of North Hill, arrived from her home in Texas last week to visit relatives in town. Miss Clara is g young lady of much courage and performed the journey without an escort.
 Rev. MT. Axtelle of Milford is to deliver the address on Memorial day, exercises to commence at 8 o'clock p. m. in Memorial hall The ladies are expected to trim the hall with flowers. The Eaton Brothers, market gardeners at Montowese, have load of peas engaged in New Haven market for Thursday, May 30. L. A. Brocket, of Montowese, carried a crate of strawberries to New Haven market on Tuesday of this week. Room 3 of school district No. will give a public reception on Friday, May 31, 1889, I from o'clck to o'clock p. m. The justices of the peace, seleetmen, grand jurors and constables meet next Monday at 10 o'clock to choose jurors for the ensuing year.

 NKw YORK. May 29.
 The heavy advance in the stock market met with check to-day, and while the business done was materially smaller than that of the past few days the list at the close was lower and the losses in some of the late fayorites marked. The recent rumors that MT. Armour had closed out his deal ngs and the heavy rea zations during the past few days were supplemented by rumors of rate cutting in the West and of frost and damage crops First sales made at small declines from the closing figures of last evening" Cotton oil dropped 115 per cent followed by the stocks in the regular list with fractional amounts. Western Union showed marked strength toward noon, but it had no effect upon the rest an d Canada Southern followed with the same result. The market became more quiet in the afternoon, but toward o'clock the down ward movement gathered more force and the low est prices of the day were generally reached at about that time.

ANorHEx BREWERY SOLD.

George Bechtel's Establishment Pur-
 chased by Engltshmen For $l,75Os-
 900.
 NEW YORK, May 29.-The sale of another big brewery was the sole topic of conversation yesterday around the brewers headquarters. As in the case of the Ringler brewery, the sale of which was promptly denied by the parties interested at the time, the parties in- terested have again shrouded themselves in mystery and refuse to give information. It was learned to-day from perfectly reliable sources, however, that the brewery which is to pass into English hands is Geo. Bechters well known brewery on Staten leland. The sale was perfected yesterday, the contract signed and considerable portion of the price paid down in cash. The brewery was sold for $1, ,75O, 900, which is regarded as fair price considering the vastness of the concern and it's growing facilities. George Bechtel's brewery turns out about 100, 900 barrels Of beer yearly. The brewery is in hrst-class condition and can easily be enlarged. The agents in this sale were not the same as in the sale of the breweries held heretofore, nor is the syndicate the same, although 1t IS com posed entirely of English capitalists. The negotiations on the part of the syndicate were conducted by Gen. Sewell of this city. MT. GeorgeBechtel has been in i'll health for some time, which circumstance doubtless made the English offer more tempting.

 less While He is Preaching.
 DANvILLE, Iil., May 29.-The Rev. J. c. Meyers of State Line, Ind, at the request of the Rev. Mir. Steele of the new Liberty Chris tian church, Fountain county, Ind, filled the pulpit in that church on Sunday. During the evening service rain cloud was noticed to overcast the sky. Immediately afterward a binding bolt of lightning descended, de- stroying the church chimney. Following along the stove pipe, which ran across the room, it crushed the two stoves into frsg- ments and tore up the floor. After leaving the chimney the bolt separated, and DOT tion of it ran down the chandelier over the pulpit, striking Mir. Meyers in the back of the head. He turned somersault, feil heavily to the floor, and was thought to be dead. He lay in an unconscious condition for more than half an hour.
 Several persons in the large congregation were shocked into insensibility, but soon re- covered. On the back of Mir. Meyers head where the lightning struck him is 8 bruised place about the size of silver dollar. His face appears burnt, and his sight is nearly destroyed. He was brought to this city for treatment. An oculst who is attending him fears that the loss of vision will be perma- Dant

Lend Yanr Consfifufion "a Hana.

Lend Your Constitution a Hand.
 Constitutions are much alike and in nine- tenths of us the same causes produce the same effects. Vertigo. dizziness or pain of any kind, excepting that of an injury, can come only when there is in our bodies some impur- ity of the blood which we have not sufficient vitality to throw off without help. Therefore the proper thing to do is to get immediately the necessary help. No aid is so effective as Brandreth's pills. When you feel these ills coming on take from three to ten of these pills, according to your weight, ,and be reliev- ed at once. Never put off the feeling by thinking you will soon be over it. Take the pills and do not rack the constitution.

General State News. EXIT NoRwICH's RIG RLNs.

NORWICH, May 29.-There are three re- markabls elms in Norwich, two at Norwich town, each of which casts 6 shade more than 100 feet in diameter and which were noted by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes in his "Auto- crat of the Breakfast Table," and the third, the village elm on the broad green at histor- 10 old Beacon Hill. The Beacon Hill elm, 8
 big sweeping, shaggy old fellow, has met
 with mishap. In perfectly still night 8 few days ago, about 8 quarter of the tree,
 which included some of the heavier branch- es, suddenly fell with crash that awoke strewn with cords of wood. The branches were all healthy, but there was an member, where it joined the main trunk. The big tree has a history coeval with that of the town. No one knows how old it is. In it's wide-reaching shadow the famous revivalist, Lorenzo Dow, used to hold his peculiar religious meetings, to which people 1ocked from all parts of the country to revel in theology in which birthstone was @ popular ingredient. It was at one of the meetings under this tree that Elder Dow made his novel proposal to the woman who became his second wife. Lorenzo's wife had an emotional mood. After 6 stirring sermon, which produced 8 mighty effect, his tone changed and he spoke in tender language of the great loss he had sustained in the death Of his "Peggy;" and then suddenly he aa~ nounced his readiness, even anxiety, to form a second connubial connection, for- tifying his resolution to do so with abundant pertinent quotations from the Scriptures. Pausing for a moment, that his words might carry conviction of their truthfulness to the hearts of the Bean Hill damsels in the throng, he directly added that eff any woman present was willing to accept his offer and become tho wife of Lorenzo Dow he would thank her to signify her willingness by rising" Where upon Lucy Dolbeare arose in stately manner, and in solemn tones announced her readiness then and there to become the wife of Loren- 20 Dow. ESQ be it," responded the preacher, with unction, ''the Lords will be done" A few days later the two were married.

cATARRH TO CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in it's destructive force stands next to and undoubtedly leads to consumption. It Is, therefore, singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease should not make it the object of their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive rem edie3 concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge have weakened the confidence of the great majority of sufferers in all advertised dies. They become resigned to life of misery rather tr torture themselves with doubtful pal Natives.
 But this will never do Catarrh must be met at every stage and combatted with all our might In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms The bones and cartilage Of the nose, the organs of hearing of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula elongated, the throat nfiamed and irritated as to produce constant and distr essing cough.

BO0tman Lyons Sea Serpent Has a
 Hard Time Turning Round up the
 Hudson.
 NEwBUReH, May 2S.-The sea serpent has made his annual appearance in the upper Hudson. Nathaniel Lyons, an old boatman retired from active service and now visiting the pretty village of Cold Spring, says that on Sunday afternoon he was walking along the railroad track near the river when he heard commotion in the water. Looking around he saw scaly round body ss big as g barrel, which was alternately arched above and concealed beneath the water, and lay directly across the river. The animal was evidently trying to turn around, but the channel in the highlands was so narrow as to make it difficult. Once the big body was raised about twenty-five feet, and 8 forked tail with 8 spread like the foresail of 8 schooner described half circle near the east shore and churned up the water until it was white with foam.
 Lyons says the spectacle was terrifying, and he watched it with his heart in his throat, unable to move. The serpent's head must have lain near the west shore, he thinks, for he did not see it. Finally the big snake got turned around, and then sank out of sight. It is supposed to have returned down the river. Lyon says he had not been drinking, because it was Sunday and "he could not buy drop of liquor anywhere"
