A Notable COnnecticut Tree.
Upon Cornelius Mead's place at Walnut

Upon Cornelius Mead's place at Walnut
Hill, near Newtown, is mammoth syca-
more tree, eighty-five feet high The
trunk of the tree is twenty-one feet in di-
ameter and the branches cover an area ex-
tending eighty feet each side of the trunk.
The foliage is SO luxuriant that person
standing underneath cannot see the sky
through it. The leaves are Of beautiful
dark green color, and heart shaped. They
are about five inches in length by three
and half in width at the widest part.
The edges are serrated, and when moved
by the breeze the leaves create sound as
though heavy rain was falling.
Another popularity about the tree is the
blossoms. They are large and profuse
and shed substance very similar to silk
floss. This is shed SO fully as to cover the
ground underneath the tree with beauti-
full, snowy white silken carpet

DEDICATION OF THE NEW BAND STAND IN |
MILFORD WITH A CONCERT BY THE MIL
FORD coRNET BAND.
Aug. 12.-There was musical stir and
animation in Milford on Monday evening.
The streets were filled with people all
vending their way to the Broad street
park near the residence of John G. North,
where has recently been erected hand.
some band stand The people of this town
have gathered on several notable occasions
during the past four years, but none that
have called them together has given more
genuine pleasure than the dedication of
the band stand on Monday evening, as was
evlnced by the large numbers present
| and their hearty applause and appre-
citation of the music and other ex-
| exercises. The band opened the program
with "Star Spangled Banner" and
march. Hon. I. G. Smith, who was mas
ter of ceremonies, in some well chosen
words introduced the speakers. The first
being Mr.. John g. North, through whose
generosity, public spirit, untiring zeal,
and hearty encouragement is due the hap
| Ply realization of the erection of the stand
in spite of opposition and obstacles which
were placed in the way of this movement,
Mr.. North eloquently and forcibly pre-
sented the benefits and pleasure to be de-
rived from such influences as would arise
from the efforts to cultivate the musical
taste of the people, and commended the
members of the band for their careful
work, and then formally presented the
stand to Mr.. Charles E. Roder the leader,
who responded. After another selection
by the band a letter of regret and congrat-
ulation was read from Rev. f. L. Fer
guson, who. was prevented from being
present Another pleasing selection was
played by the band and Mr.. David l..
Clarke was introduced. He expressed
himself glad of the opportunity to speak
cause that would benefit and bless the
masses. Music cheered and inspired
human hearts and lives, all nationalities
loved it and carried their love of it wher.
: ever they went. The honest hard working
people need it, and many an ugly nature6
: man like King Saul needs it to quell tn,
: evil spirit in him. Other selections wer,
rendered and the next address was mad

HIGLEY REUNION,
A Family Gathering In Simsbury

IA HI SHuuBDufys
The fifth reunion of the descendants of
Captain John Higley and his wife Han
nah Drake, daughter of Deacon John
Drake, and Sarah Strong Bissell, grand
daughter of the Rev. John Wareham), will
be held at Simsbnry, August Goth and 21st
insts., near the site of the old ancestral
homestead.
John Higley came from England in 1885,
when boy of seventeen, and settled in
Windsor in 1884. In 1871 he married Han
nah Drake, and became one of the leading
citizens of that colony. In 1854 he removed
with his family to the town of Simsbury,
then known as Hopmeadow, where he be-
came the largest landed proprietor in
the town and one of its foremost public
men. He was one of the eight principal
proprietors to whom the patent for the
township of Simsbury was granted in 1886;
was captain of the train band; was chosen
to represent the town in the legislature
twenty times; appointed associate
judge i1aA71O, and was prominent in all
public matters pertaining to the interests
of this border town. He had sixteen chill
dren, eight by his first wife and eight by
the second The descendants of this large
family are now found in nearly every state
of the Union, and many of their represent
atives from Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan,
Maine, Ohio, Alabama, New. York, New
Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut will meet next
week near the ancestral home to review
their family history and learn more of the
early days of their ancestors.
The first day of the reunion will be de-
voted to literary exercises, consisting of
historical addresses, poems, music, etc.
This will be held in the old First Congre-
gational church. The second day will be
devoted to an interesting excursion to the
old Newgate prison, to see DR.. Samuel
Higley's copper mine, from which was
taken the copper that: was used in the
manufacture Of the s'Higley Copper" in
1887 and 1879; ending with an old-fash:
toned clam bake at .Barlett's Tower, on the
Malcott range, near Tariffville.
The citizens of Simsbury are taking a
deep interest in this reunion with their ac-
customed hospitality.
A cordial invitation is extended by the
committee to the citizens of Simsbury and
the surrounding towns to attend upon the
exercises and join in the excursion.
Pomeroy Higley, Henry N. Goddard, A.
G. Bates, Professor Clayton Higley and the
Hone Warren Higley constituted the local
committee Of arrangements,

Death of Bridgeport Lady.

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 12.-The friends and
acquaintance of Kittie E., wife of Charles
w. Clark of No. 1875 Olive street, were
shocked and grieved to hear of her sudden
death this morning. The deceased had for
a number of days been suffering with what
was supposed to be a severe attack of in
digestion. Fatal results were not antici-
pated. The immediate cause of her death
was premature maternity. Mrs. Clark
was thirty one years and four months of
age and was born in Easton. She was Of
an extremely vivacious and amiable dis
position, and was held in the highest esti-
nation by a large circle of friends. She
leaves one child, daughter about ten
years old. Her husband, Mr.. Clark, only
started the foundation of a handsome new
residence few days ago. The deceased
had taken an active part in planning the
same, and was looking forward with much
pleasure to occupying it.

The Opening Active Followed by
Dizziness and StagnatlOn-The Close
Quiet.

NEW Y DIRK, Aug. H.
Railroad bonds dull the sales being only
S76l .Oo0 and the tone still heavy. though
few marked gains were scored. The important
changes were very few, however, and the final
changes generally are for insignificant fractions.
Stocks were active this forenoon, but later be-
came dull and stagnant. The news of the day
was in a large degree favorable, and the propo-
sition that the secretary of the treasury should
purchase the AIS at par and interest to the ma
turity met with much favor and aided to keep
the upward movement going. The most impor-
tant factor to that end, however, was the lending
of large sums by .one important bank which
gradually lowered the rates for money, and in
stituted positive ease in place of the tghtness
prevailing in the forenoon. The upward move
ment continued, therefore, without interruption
until the close, and the advances covered the
entire list. The dealings, especially in the after
noon, presented little or no special feature, and
the close was quiet but strong at the best figures
of the day.
Closing reported prices over the private wires
of BUNNELL & SCRANTON, Bankers and
