GEO. AUGUSTUS SALA.

Geo. Augustus Sala, the well-known English
writer, on his Australian trip, wrote as fol-
lows to The London Daily Telegraph
~ especially have pleasant remembrance OF
the ships doctor-a very experienced maritime
medico indeed, who tended me most kindly,
during horrible spell of bronchitis and spas
modic asthma, provoked by the sea fog which
had swooped down ON us just after we left San
francisco But the doctors prescriptions and
the increasing warmth of the temperature as we
neared the Tropics, and, in particular, couple
of ALLcocKs Porous PLAsTERs clapped on-one
on the chest and another between the shoulder
blades-soon set me right"

Mr.. T. w. Temple announces himself
in another column as candidate for
county recorder, subject to the de-
cision of the Republican county con-
yention. Mr.. Temple possesses all the
qualifications to make good recorder,
except one of the most important. In
other words, he trains with the wrong
party. As the Democratic candidate
for the same position, it is safe to say
he would have walk over.

Charles l.. Sherman, widely known and much respected resident of Stony Hill, Danbury, where he had always re- sided, died, ,early Sunday morning, at the age of 76 years and five months. He had seen sick only since the Tuesday before with kidney disease and sank steadily un- til his death. He had, at intervals, been subject to such attacks, but this, though it came so suddenly, was, as he said, by far the worst he had ever suffered. The funeral was largely attended from the late residence, Wednesday, l6th, at } D m, Rev Byron J. Hall of Danbury con- ducting the services. Mrs c. $. Platt of Newtown and Mrs Nellie Tucker of San dy Hook sang the burial anthem to mus ic by Prof Platt and hymns Abide with me- and "Asleep in Jesus'' were sung at the house and at the grave, the inter- ment being in Lands End cemetery. The floral offerings were profuse and beauti- full. The bearers were Samuel B. Beebe, Roswell P. Glover, Edward Morris, John D. Vail, Lawson Smith, Henry H. Knapp. Mir Sherman, who was born but short distance from the house where he had spent his life and where he breathed his last, was man who will be missed by friends and neighbors and by all who ever knew him. He was brother of Mrs William Platt of Newtown, Mrs Legrand Platt of Waterbury and Mrs Simonds of LeOminster, Mass. He married Miss Eliza Blackman of Hawleyyille, sister of Mrs Robert Nichols Hawley and Mrs Robert Clark of Hawleyville, who sur vive him. An adopted daughter also survives

Come, Sound the Horn,"

and attract every one's attention to the fact that there is to be a Dairy Maids Drill and supper at the Town hall on Wednesday evening, July 30. This charming cantata is, without doubt, one of the prettiest that Newcomers have heard in many long day and that it will be attended by all Newtown and their numerous city cousins is foregone con- clusion. Our friends, the young ladies, have been in constant preparation and have learned their parts, the singing, drill and all, to perfection-we know, for our office is next the Town hall, and we have seen and heard them. As for the can chorus--well, there is no doubt but that they are in it.. Nor is the cantata the only attraction, for there is to be a fair, too. Booths for the sale of many fancy and useful articles, flowers, can dies, and the fish pond, will be provided, with tables for ice cream, cake and kin dred refreshments. A dance is also on the program, with music by Prof Platt and W. W. Bliss. Look for full partieu- lars, next week and remember the date, July 30.

Two score merry young people enjoyed themselves to the utmost, Tuesday after noon and evening, when the children's 20-minute society of St Johns church gave lawn party and tea at the spacious grounds and pleasant residence of Dr Betts, Sandy Hook. From until were the hours for the little ones and they were full of pleasure for all. Tables had been prepared and supper was to have been served on the lawn; but the rain compelled an adjournment to the house, where the supper (for which l0c seemed hardly sufficient payment) was eaten. Soon after, the smaller children were taken home and Il party including Misses Florence Warner and Bertha Chapman ; Ernest Snifien, Ralph Betts, Hopo Warn CT, Howard Bassett, Charlie Betts, James Betts remained to enjoy a game of whist. The net proceeds of the lawn party were $S 50. The managers of the affair are grateful to Dr and Mrs Betts for the use of the grounds and for the tact with which the children were entertained.

A. E. SouthWorth of New York and
 Arthur Platt of Newtown are still suf- fering from the accidental discharge of a pistol, July 4. Mr Southworth, who spent the Fourth with his sister-in-law, Mrs z. 5. Platt, had brought his revol- yer and exhibited skill and care in shoot ing. Later, he took Prof Platt's revol- yer and, after cleaning and re-loading, snapped the barrel into place. AS the. catch failed to work properly, he tried again and at last the weapon was dis charged, the 22.caliber ball passing com pletely through the palm of Mir South worth's left hand and making a flesh wound on the left shoulder of Arthur Platt, who stood near. By advice of physician, the hand was bandaged and poultices applied; but, although little pain was felt, the hand is so badly swoolen as to be useless. The wound has apparently healed on both sides of the hand, but hospital physicians say that it will be necessary to open and thoroughly cleanse the wound.
