GRANBY,S CENTENAHIAN. Hale and Hearty, Bright and Cheery Her Centennial.

Her Centennial.
 "Aunt" Sally Brown of North Granby, who celebrated her one hundredth birthday Sunday, is still hale and hearty, relieving her daughter, Mrs. Jane Latham, aged 70, of many of her household cares. She does not seem at all broken by years and says herself that she feels almost as young as che ever did. She received and warmly greeted many visitors who came to congratulate her on her one hundredth birthday, and joined oheerily and brightly in the conversation. Her recollsstions go back through the gen. erations to her childhood, but she talks more of her old friends, now dead, than of the stirring times of 18i2 and of Washington. Yet she remembers when Washington came to Hartford, and tells an anecdote of @ disap- pointed youth who, when his mother pointed out "the father of his country" exclaimed: "Why, he is George Washington He's only a man, motheri" "Aunt" Sally's great sorrow Is that 80 many of her contemporaries are dead. She is of & social disposition, and a bright, kindly old soul.

This Weeks Fine Attractions at she
 TheateFs-The Wife. The production of Belasco- & De Miles beautiful play, The Wife, by Daniel Froh- mans company at the Hyperion on this and tomorrow evenings, cannot but be greeted by large audiences. The cast includes Messrs. Boyd Putnam, Henry Herman. 5. Miller Kent, 0. B. Field, Mrs. Berlon-Gibbs, Miss Frances Gaunt, Miss Etta Hawkins and Miss Ethel Greybrooke. The production in- cludes special scenery of new and striking designs.
 THE NIGHT owLs.
 There were but few vacant seats at the Grand opera house s,last night when the cur- tain rose upon the group of shapely bur- lssquers which are to hold the boards through the first half of the week. The Night Owls are binds of attractive quality, age. The new addition, "The Sculptor's Dream of Living Models" was greatly ad- mired by the frequenteIs of the front rows. All of the old favorites are with the com pany, and so also are several new ones. The most remarkable part of the entertain- ment is Delhauer in his wonderful frog act. He twists his body into inconceivable cons tortions while rocking upon his back on an old tomato can. He received great applause. The company is sure of large houses through out it's stay.
 THE EDITOR.
 Tickets for the benefit to the Hyperion employees on April are selling fast. Upon this occasion the sterling American actor, Louis Aldrich. presents his new play, The Editor.
 M'cARTHY's MIsHAPs.
 The Furgerson & Mack Comedy company begin two nights engagement at Proctor's this evening in their Imaginable success, Mo- Carthy's Mishaps. The combination presents this funny piece with 6 vim and dash which characterizes its work. It will not be missed by lovers of fun and laughter.
 THE STEPPING STONE.
 Personal magnetism and occult science are subjects that no dramatist has hitherto handled with any notable degree of success in late years. Sidney Rosenfield, however has built his play, The Stepping Stone, upon foundation of this character. That he hai done this with success, critics have genera conceded. The play is at all events strong one and is presented by a company of un usual excellence. It will be seen at Proctor'l on the last half of the week.
 THE GoNDoLIERs.
 The Gondoliers, while the prettiest in thu way of music of all the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, has few, if any, catchy airs in it. It tunes will never be whistled on the streets al those of "Pinafore, "Pirates of Penzsnce' and "Patience" were and are. They are no of that kind, and are the better for 1t. Th' company producing the opera is evenly bal anced, the leading artists having well trained voices, and the chorus strong as to voice ant | large in number. It will be the attraction s | the Hyperion on the last half of the week | The 1O:50 train on the Consolidated roat | Friday night will be held till Il o'clock fo l the benefit of theater parties.

\ European Creditor Forces an As-
 signment.

HARTFORD, March 24.-Mr. David Mayer, the diamond merchant, to-day made an as- signment to Lawyer Lewis Sperry for the benefit of his creditors. This step has been brought about by the refusal of one firm, in Paris, to join with the other creditors in &C., ceptipg the offer MT. Mayer made to his creditors at the time of his failure, about two months ago. At that time the creditors met in this city, and they not only accepted the offer but refused to take any interest
 money on the extension of payment. The action of the creditors was most gratifying to Ar. Mayer. All his American creditors signed his settlement papers. The Paris creditors who ara holding out, Blokaski &
 Cie. represented only $6,000 of the total of
 $120,0 ,000 liabilities. MT. Mayer has, since creditors meeting, run the business without restraint of any kind being placed upon him.
