A universal feeling of sadness pervaded this entire community on Tuesday last, when the sorrowful tidings were telephoned of the very sudden death of Erastus H. Dean at Cream Hill lake, where he and his family, with other friends, were en- toying picnic and fishing excurs1on. The party had been on the lake but 8 short time when Mir Dean was noticed to throw up his hands as if in distress, and without groan or struggle to plunge out of the boat into the water and rapidly sink before any of his friends could rescue him. He was at once taken out but life was extinct, and it is conceded by medical authority, to be case of heart disease, and in all probability he was dead before he struck the water. His beloved family, who were near, seemed almost wild with grief and could hardly give up the kind father, as dead, leaving them as he did so short a time before apparently in good health and joyous over the pleas ant anticipations of being home once more for the annual and well-earned rest. The greater portion of his life has been spent in our midst, and by his kind, thoughtful, manly bearing he won many true friends, not only here but at Bridgeport where he has been To- cated the past ten years. Surely Gin the midst of life we are in death'' i'm pressively spoke the pastors at the funeral on Thursday who sought to say words full of comfort and consolation to the bereaved family, aged parents and | dooplv ofdicfo1 circ1a of friands A beautiful floral anchor and crown rested upon the casket, as farewell tributes to the memory of the departed, from friends in Bridgeport and elsewhere.

MORE CANAAN LIME.
A NEW COMPANY FORMED.

A NEW COMPANY FORMED.
 THE NEWS stated last week that Can field Brothers, of East Canaan, had decided to embark in the lime business. Now we are permitted to publish the following concerning their plans: Messrs William and Wallace Garfield will locate their kiln on the premises imme- diately west of the Beaujon place, near the depot at East Canaan. They have also leased land near the depot and will build side track to their kiln. They have leased all the rhinestone on A. A. Lawrence's farm in East Canaan. Only short piece of road will have to be constructed from the highway, north east of the kiln, to convey the stone by easy grade to the top of the kiln. They have also leased about 20 acres of J. w. Peet's farm west of the Housatonic river, the premises now occupied by Michael Haley. The c. N. B. & w. railroad passes alongside or through said 20 acres, and siding will also be constructed here and the limestone conveyed by cars direct to the kiln al East Canaan. Specimens of the lime stone found on this 20 acres have been analysed at the Connecticut Experiment Station and prove to contain 99.S5 pel cent carbonate of lime, which shows the stone to be remarkably pure.
 Messrs Garfield will soon commence building their kiln and will have the stone work completed before winter sets in. The buildings will be construct ed during the winter. Spring will find Garfield Brothers manufacturing lime but not interfering with the market O. other Canaan lime manufacturers Tie, have secured an entirely different mar ket for nearly all the lime they ca, make. They have been in the wood ant lumber business number of years, ant their kiln will make them anothe.

 Had there been a highway bridge across the Housatonic river opposite this village, Garfield Brothers would have located their lime kiln in Wea- togue instead of in East Canaan, but the distance via of Butchers bridge to Canaan Depot settled the question. Thus what IS loss to Salisbury and to Canaan Depot will prove gain to East Canaan. Fifty years ago bridge should have been built across said river oppo- site this village, but how much longer will Canaan Depot and Weatogue suffer inconvenience and loss before such 8 bridge will be constructed :?
 The story as told us is in substance as follows: One day last week stranger called on an errand at house in this village. The door was opened by @ young lady who immediately asked the stranger if he was married. He replied in the negative. The young lady then asked him if he would marry her. He replied that he would. She then enquired where he lived, how much money he had etc., etc. He told how much money he had, and said he lived in Hartford. She told him not to buy any furniture but to buy her wedding ring and she would marry him. He said he must goNto Hartford first but would return on Thursday and marry her. The young lady now says she was only joking but the man was appar- antly in earnest, and some railroad men who are acquainted with him say he means business and will be on hand tomorrow to claim his bride. Should he put in an appearance to- morrow the young lady may find that her propensity for practical joking has at last brought her into serious trouble. All acquainted with the facts in the case are anxiously awaiting the result of the young lady's practical joke.
