sCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general OF all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

Speaking to q BEE reporter about Will son Point and the work now going on there, Col W. II. Stevenson of the Hous- atomic system said: "Ics, we're doing little at the Point. We'll spend a couple of hundred thousand dollars and then, in few weeks, probably, we'll be in shape to run through cars from Boston to New York, by way of the New England, Dan bury & NOrwalk division of the IIousa- tonic and freight car transfer steamer from Ayilson Point. But only the through cars will be sent this way; all freight which must be transferred, or is in broken bulk, will come to Bridgeport, be unloadcd there and sent to New York; the freight steamer Philip D. Lefevre will continue to run on this line. Oh yes, the HOusatonic's still booming" This, from Col Stevenson himself, is proof con elusive that Bridgeport will not lose through Wilson Points rebuilding, for all workmcn who transfer freight will remain in the Park City, notwithstand- ing the rosy views of Norwalk people.

EOpERICK's LATEST SUIT.

RODERICK'S LATEST SUIT.
 The hearing on the will of the late | Elijah Atwood was commenced, last Fri l day, August 30, before Judge Eastman. Roderick. whose voice is soft and sweet | and low as an angels, conducted his own contest, and pretty soon there was a full circus. This continued till Judge Hunt ington, out of all patience, administered severe verbal castigation and the hear ing was adjourned till September 9. MT Atwood divided his lands among his heirs some b years ago, possession to be given on his death and the heirs have re- corded their deeds and are now inl pos grievance is that, several years ago, the deceased made codicil changing the will where he had given certain property to Roderick and his wife jointly and their one heir, sole scion of their house; the codicil gives the same property to the wife alone and said sole heir. It also makes the wife sole executrix. The re- maining change is to give $400 to the wife, which had been bequeathed to daughter, who has, since the date of the will, come into the possession of very handsome estate from another source. Roderick's proportion of the lands given by the original will was not changed. It would seem that this is small matter to howl about. Roderick had his prelude. 1 He hied himself to the ancient William | of Eoct yVatartou-, and oan,munad with him diligently and William s'threw him l self.n The result was that there appear ed, last week, in T local paper, a copy of 1 the will, codicii, q series of wonderful statements and q bill of particulars, which disclosed his whole case and all the weak points, perfectly giving himself away to the enemy, if he has one. The burden of the reiterated complaint seems to be that for considerable number of years Roderick boarded his father in his own family. He neglected to state, however, that, till quite recently, his father had the care of his home business and the re- markable crowd of helpers he kept around him, while he himself was absent on his multitudinous lawsuits. And that l thus the old man far more than earned his board. He also neglected to state that for about d quarter of a century he has had the use of all the lands which had now come tQ all the heirs, use worth the board of many such old men.
 As it appears to an indifferent observer, Roderick will wake up some fine morn ing and find that the estate has brought him largely in debt.
