CAPTAIN PETTERsON,s GRAVE.
A Monument to q, Revolutionary
Patriot.

STANFORD, Dec. "a. - A handsome
granite block has just been erected in the
Congregational burying ground here to
mark the grave of Captain Samuel Patti
son, who died in Stanford about sixty
four years ago. He was an officer in the
Continental army and served with distinc-
ton in the war of the Revolution. He was
son Of William Patterson, one of the
largest land owners of his day in STRAIT
ford, and grandson of the Andrew Pat
terson who was born in Scotland in 1859,
and figured conspieuously 30 q GoSenan-
ter during the religious agitation of his
time and was expatriated for his belief and
came to America along with number of
others who were banishsd to the American
plantations BY. the privy council Of Au-
gust, IL, 1885. He landed in New Jersey
and came Immediately to Stratford, where
he died after he had accumulated much
property and had become prominent
citizen. Although this officer, in whose
honor the stone has been erected, came of
q sturdy and money getting race, he him
self died in poverty, and his grave has
therefore been unmarked and almost for
gotten during these years, but his de-
scendants have developed the family trait,
and are now well-to-do or wealthy, and
have united to erect this memorial to the
gallant officer who, like SO many other
soldiers of the Revolution, suffered much
through the forget ulness of their fellow
countrymen. IL

The grand work of healing the ills of
human flesh goes inerrily on by the new
vitapathic process. Patients in all stages
of disease are taken to DIR. Damon at 928
Chapel street, and right royalty are they
repaid, for rarely indeed does one come
away without being relieved of his or her
suffering. This is the same specialist who
treated upward of 200 poor sufferers with
out hope of fee or reward at the Atheneum
for SO many weeks This he did that he
might fully demonstrate to the people Of
New Haven his ability to cure after all
other systems had failed.
One visit to this remarkable specialist
will convince the most skeptical that he il
well versed in the healing art. No invalid
should fail to secure at least an interview
| with DR.. Damon if they would know wha
their chances were for relief or cure.

The will of Mrs. Carrine Welles of Hart
ford takes 500, 900 away from the state
treasury, into which it would have gone
under the provisions of the collateral in
heritance act. The estate will reach near
nearly $500,00 The entire estate is be-
queathed to John B. Russell, the will ex-
pressing confidence that he will do the
right thing by her two brothers. This be-
quest avoids the collateral inheritance law,
which does not apply to a father, mother,
husband, wife, lineal descendant, adopted
child, lneal descendant of an adopted
child, wife or widow of a son, or husband
of a daughter of the deceased. The estate
in this case goes wholly to Mr.. Russell,
father of the deceased Had any of the
estate been left to the brothers of Mrs.
Welles, their portions would have been
subject to per cent. tax. But they
will come into the property through their
father, and as his sons, any bequest to
them by his will would not be taxable
There is to be made no effort to disturb
the will. It is the first time payment OF
the collateral inheritance tax has been
avoided in this way.
