CATARRH

Is constitutional and not local disease, and
therefore it cannot be cured by local applica
tions. 1t requires constitutional remedy like
Hoods SarsaparIlla, which, working through
the blood, eradicates the impurity which causes
and promotes the disease, and effects perma.
nent cure. Thousands of people testify to the
success of Hoods Sarsaparilla as a remedy for
catarrh when other preparations had failed
Hoods Sarsaparilla also builds up the whole
system, and makes you feel renewed in health
and strength. All who suffer from catarrh OF

Pertaining to Horses.

One of the best journals devoted to re-
liable news pertaining to horses is The
Horseman. It's weekly numbers are al
ways excellent, and its number for Christ
mas week is regularly par-excellence. The
last one issued, which was its holiday
number, is fully up to The Horseman's
usual standard, and contains ninety large
pages. One of the first articles to catch the
eye of readers is the article which refers
to the confession of c. H. Nelson, owner
of the celebrated trotter, Nelson, 2:10a.
When the JOURNAL AND Courier horse
reporter read the so-called confession he
exclaimed "Bosh! That confession was
written to be used as a lever to be used on
the, board of review" and similar opinion
is evidently held by The Horseman's
writer, who says sit was a confession that
didn't confess. 1t was no confession at
ALL" The Horseman's article has the ring
of the right metal, and will be heartily en-
dorsed by thousands of intelligent readers.
The present number of the journal re-
ferred to is an able one not only editorially
but artistically, as its many excellent por-
traits of noted horses attest. A horse that
is seldom represented by good cut is the
renowned sire of trotters, George Wilkes,
2:22, who is faithfully portrayed on one of
the pages of The Horseman. Another cut
represents Manager, two-year-old with a
record of 2:16a. These portraits of turf
celebrities are nearly forty in number
Among the contents of the publication
will be found the new $50 list, which con-
tains the names of all trotters and PAGERS
who have entered the charmed circle dur
ing the past season
The table contains the name, sex and
color of the horse, and, when known, other
particulars are given.

preserved for its equine historic value, is

WINTER FISHING.
Twelve Bushels of Fish Taken at
Haul.

Twelve Bushels of Fish Taken at a
The Wethersfeld Farmer tells how a
party of Cromwell fishermen recently se-
cured a good haul of fish from what is
known as "the creek" situated near the
island in Wethersfeld meadow
The net was drawn under the ice by
starting from the shore and cutting man
holes short distance apart in somewhat
of semi-circle and returning to the shore
short distance from the starting point;
then one man inserted pole through hole
No. and down under the ice to hole No.
and SO on until the circuit was made. On
one end of the pole was attached rope
and the rope to the net A large hole was
cut in the ice near the shore about ten feet
square. Through this the net was drawn
out and hauled in. The net was kept in
place by looping up the upper edge through
the holes and passing stick through the
loop and across the hole. Then came the
whipping down process" which was &C
compGshed by striking the ice within the
| circle to drive the fish down toward the
bottom. Now the two ends of the net
were drawn together and through the large
| hole. About twelve bushels of fine fish
| were hauled out, consisting of suckers,
bullheads, perch and pickerel, some of the
last named weighing not far from three

THE SITE SELECTED.

The Coming New Depot OF the Con.
sOlidated Road I'm Bridgeport to
be Directly Opposite tho Present
Structure.
1t has been known for some time that
the Consolidated railroad had it's plans
all laid for the erection of . new passenger
station in Bridgeport and speculation has
been rife in that city, as well as elsewhere,
as to where the site of the new structure
would be.
The site of the present depot is totally
inadequate and unsuitable for the pur-
pose owing to the lack of room and facil-
tiles to properly accommodate the ever in
creasing number of its patrons and in
addition is so situated as to necessitate the
crossing of the tracks of the Housatonic
road in order to reach the cars of the
Consolidated the two sets of tracks lying
side by side, those of the Housatonic being,
however, between the station and the
tracks Of the other road. Accidents from
this cause, though not frequent, have oc-
CURED and many narrow escapes from
loss of life or injury to limbs can be seen
almost daily at this point.
With view of remedying this defect
and removing almost absolutely the posi-
bility of such accidents occurring, the
management of the Consolidated have been
for some time looking around for site
on which to erect a new station. Several
locations have been selected and aban-
doned owing to some defect which in the
opinion Of the gentlemen having the mat
ter in charge rendered them unsuitable for
depot purposes.
Great difficulty has been experienced in
securing just the proper site but it is now
ln1 h. xrxI,o
ION the inside" and therefore in posi-
ton to know whereof they speak, that the
depot will be situated directly opposite to-
the present station on the water side by
the tracks.
The structure will, it is said extend from
the corner of Fairfield avenue about 200
feet along the line of the tracks to the
plant of the. Monumental Bronze works.
This tract is at present occupied by Ira
Gregory's coal yards, several tenement
houses and the cigar store Of Fred Smith
| on the corner of Fairfield avenue. It is
said that Smith holds ten-year lease of
the premises he now occupies and is not
disposed to move from his present quar-
| ters. Interesting and numerous proceed
| ings in litigation may probably ensue but
| it is however generally believed that some
amicable adjustment of the affair will be
effected.
The structure to be erected viii be pre-
tentious one, more in keeping with the re-
quirements Of depot in city the size Of
Bridgeport, and viii be constructed after
plans Of the most approved buildings Id
| use for the same purposes in the country.
| The benefit to property in the Immediate
vicinity of the new depot will be almost
| incalculable, as it will undoubtedly be the
| cause of many new manufacturing indus
| tries being established on the now vacant

The theme was ssCovetousness, - and the
speaker defined the different senses in
which the word could be used 1.-THE de-
sire for prosperity" he said, is a natural
one, and it is no sin to covet or desire
good things. The apostle said; sCovet
earnestly spiritual gifts; but an envious
spirit and grasping nature are to be con-
demned. ~ The concluding thought was
that, while we ought to use our powers in
