The father of 8 very interesting boy of 5 years, living on Governor street, Hartford, has been taking him of late to the polo and opera house attractions. At the polo games the little fellow was considerably disturbed on account of the harshness of the sport and decided not to go again. His success at the opera house was not less disappointing. A play with few touches of tragedy was on the boards and the child was glad enough to get home. Finally the father, who is an in- telligent mechanic, said to the boy, "Where shall take youa You don't like the polo game, and you don't want to go to the thea ter sgaini" 'T tell you, papa" said the lit tie fellow, "take me to church and Sunday school" The child's mother is accustomed to take him to both of these places, but the father has not been with him. There is 6 strong probability that the father will go hereafter with the little one.

Idiosyncracies From This Lively Bor- ough.
 The union services at the N. E. church, Sunday evening. were very interesting. The sermon by the Rev. MT. Squires, pastor of the Congregational church, was an excellent one, and was listened to by large audience The Rev. MT. Thorpe, pastor of the church made few remarks. Both of the pastors are working hand in hand for the good cause.
 This evening there will be union services at the M. E. church, and on Friday evening at the Congregational church. There is and large number of conversions have been brought about.
 MT. Edward Leete, who went to Cleveland, Ohio, little over year ago, returned two weeks ago much broken down in health, with bronchial troubles. His many friends will be glad to learn that he is now slowly recovering his health and will soon be able to go to town again.
 Mir. Frank Hotchkiss, who resides on Elm street, near First avenue, has been 8 sufferer with felon on his hand. For the past three days, he has not been able to leave his bed. Doctor Sheperd is attending him.
 There have been between fifty and sixty dwelling houses built the past year and there is room for more. Those that were built for rent were engaged before they were finished. West Haven is growing and our public-spir- tied citizens must keep on doing as they have during the past year. Low priced rents are in great demand as well as high priced. There are several master builders residing in the borough, who stand ready to take cons tracts and will do their work in an acceptable manner. A few more electric lights are needed in come of the dark streets.
 The West Haven brass band, under the leadership of Charles Humphrey, practice once week in the carpenter shop of Mr. Samuel Mallory. They are doing finely. The citizens ought to encourage them, for the band bids fair to be pride to the borough.

AN OPEN QUESTION.
Is Harrison a Descendans of Pocahon-

It is popularly believed that President Harrison is descended from Pocahontas and from the Parliamentary soldier and regicide General Thomas Harrison, who was executed in 1860.
 Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatsn, mani- tested friendliness for the early white set tiers of Virginia when she was but girl. The story of how she saved the life of Cap tain John Smith, who had been captured and condemned to death by her father-how she, on several occasions, made known to the settlers their danger when about to be at- tacked-is we'll known to all acquainted with the early history of America. Her subse- quent marriage with John Rolfe, an Eng hshman-her removal to England, where 6 son was born, from whom numerous veal thy families of Virginia claim descent-is the basis of the opinion that President Har- rison is one of her descendants.
 Whether this be true or not it is, however, we'll known that President Harrison is de- scendant of noted family, distinguished alike in peace and war. The name of Harri- son is already indelibly written upon the pages of American history, fer General Wil- liam Henry Harrison-the ninth President of the United Ststes-was the grandfather of General Benjamin Harrison.
 The election of another member of the Harrison family is but another proof of the prevailing dispositionnof the public to re- turn to healthy administration of public af- fairs so characteristic of the earlier years of government. A similar desire has been manifested for revival of early manners and customs in many various ways, of which mention in particular can be made of the prevailing demand for those old time prepa- rations which were so successfully employed in the prevention and cure of the ills and ailments which frequented the early log cab- in homes.
 After much inquiry and research @ noted manufacturer has procured the original methods used in their preparation and again under the name of Warner's Log Cabin Rem edies. the public is possessed of those well known preparations for the cure of coughs, colds, consumption in it's early stages, blood disorders, catarrh, dyspepsia, debility and other common disorders. Notwithstanding the large amount of time, attention and expense which the manufac- ture of Warmers Safe Cure demands-its we'll known reputation as the only remedy for the prevention and cure of kidney dis eases being world wide-the manufacturer is resolved to push the merit of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla to the front because of it's splendid blood purifying properties and great value as household remedy and spring time system renoystor.
 Pocahontas, during her life long friend ship for the white settlers of Virginia, be- sides her many acts of kindness, is said to have contributed much valuable information to the log cabin home concerning the success ful methods employed by the Indians in the treatment of disease, and it matters little whether the alleged relationship between herself and the President be true or not, for the name of Pocahontas is already immortal.

WANTS TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.


 mr. Fowler Doesn't Desire Go voIun-
 tarlIy Reduce aIs Salary.
 There has been considerable discussien for several days past as to the reason why John s. Fowler does not send in his resignation as prosecuting attorney. A prominent lawyer told COURIER reporter yesterday afternoon that in his opinion there wasn't the slightest danger of Mir. Fowler's sending it in, for he was sure that he did not intend to relinquish that position. 'I can't blame him." he said. ''Do you really suppose any man will leave position paying over $1. 800 to secure an office that could not possibly yield over $1,20O or $1, 400 guess not. Mir. Fowler, when he accepted the position of assistant clerkship of the Superior court, was probably under the impression that he would receive g, 900 salary, but he has had his eyes opened pretty wide during the last few days. The fees of the Superior court clerk are expected to amount to $S,000 yearly. Ar. Anketell, when he was assistant clerk, received $2, 200 from MT. Ingersoll. the old clerk. Mir. Fow- Ter is not as ambitious and would be content | with $2,O00." Mir. Alfred N. Wheeler is looked upon as @ 1 probable candidate for the assistant clerkship should Mir: Fowler decide not to accept it. MT. Ely, who is sure of the prosecuting at- torneyship if MT. Fowler resigns, stated yes terday that he had grown quite indifferent over the affair since it took MT. Fowler so long to make up his mind. He said that he had about all he could do to attend to his business affairs and wasn't very anxious to accept any political position. MT. Fowler will probably reach his decision in day or two

PROFESSOR BREWERS OFFER
First Assistant In the Agricultural A De- pertinent Poor Health Prevents

First Assistant I'm the A agricultural De-
 partment - Poor Health Prevents
 Him Taking It.
 Prof. William H. Brewer, who holds the 'Norton professorship of agriculture" in the Sheffield Scientific school, has been practi- cally offered the position of first assistant under Jeremiah Rusk, secretary of agricul- ture in President Harrison's cabinet The professor is wanted as counsellor to the sec- retary in arranging and laying out the work of the department.
 Prof. Brewer says that the work of the de. partment would be something stupendous and that the condition of his health would not allow him to accept the position. He re- signed his place on the board of health at the advice of his physician, and the death of his wife leaves him with family at an age when the care of parent is most needed. He says he has written to Washington to this effect.
 It is said that Prof. Brewer came very near being offered the agricultural portfolio, now held by Secretary Rusk.
