MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B.,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering conghs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

Malachi Keane Loses an Arm.

As the result of an accident at the de- pot, Thursday afternoon, Malachi Keane will lose his right arm. He is employed at the Newtown creamery and had taken a pail of milk to Conductor Bartley of the Haw1eyville express freight, which meets the north bound milk train at Newtown, about l o'clock. Malachi was on the steps of the passenger coach as the train moved slowly toward the lower switch aud was about to step of, below the freight house, when he was struck on the head by projecting timbers and, missing his hold and losing his footing, was thrown to the ground. He thrust out his right arm to save himself, but it was struck by the car wheel, which passed over it, cutting and mangling it in d frightful manner. Malachi arose and walked to the creamery, supporting his right arm, which hung by mere shred, i'll his left hand lie was full of grit. At the station, he was met by Dr D. F. Richardson of Sandy Hook and taken to his home at the Island. He was made as comfortable IS possible, until the arrival of Dr Robert Hubbard of Bridgeport, who, with Dr Richardson. was to amputate the arm near the shoul- der. Malachi, who is about Is, is son of the late Connor Keane and janitor of the Temperance club in the Street.

Social Gathering.
"DUM VIVIMUs vIVAMUs.' '

Mir and Mrs Henry G.Curtis entertain ed, Tuesday evening, at their beautiful Berkshire home, a large whist party of ladies and gentlemen. The Invitations were numerous and brought together the elite of Newtown from far and near About o'clock, ,the Street was bestirring itself and every one, more or less, was on the qui vive, making busy prepara- tions for the social tournament. It was a lovely moonlight night, with a biting westerly wind. All the guests, to the number of 50, nearly, were on time. with the exception of party of eight. The suite of rooms, spacious and admirably arranged though they were, was hardly sufficient for the number present and so, for the nonce, the hall was utilized for one of the tables. Tlie play began at s 30 and continued with varying fortune until nearly l2, the main feature of the game being it's progressivee character involving Il to and fro, up and down ment. Some few seemed to progress steadily backward from first to last. Our worthy host and hostess did their devoirs throughout the evening in the most agreeable and accomplished man. ner, whose generous and kindly hospi- tality went to anoint their friends before hand, instead of being stored for post mortem kindness, which neither refresh es nor cheers the burdened spirit. Play CTS played with attentive delight and a lithesomeness and lightness, as it were, fairly bubbled over the assembled guests. Game over, refreshments of a delicate and most recherche character were served at the edifferenttables, during which sprightly and amusing conversa- tion was carried on and

"He has been honorably known as learned lawyer, and independent think CT, | public spirited citizen, a kind heart ed and high minded man, He met the [ troubles of life without being soured in disposition and how all delight to honor his memory! ''His sympathies were warm and his friendships true and de voted.' ''Long and loving study had made him familiar with the science of jurisprudence in it's widest range,'' says the New Haven county bar.
 Newtown has sent forth no son of fair CT fame in this generation than Johnson Futile Platt, named for his maternal grandfather, once of Georges hill, South bury. Mrs Johnson Futile, the grand mother, still survives at the family home in Hopewell at an advanced age, where live his widowed mother aud his brother, Theron E. Platt. The young Johnson was Of delicate health as a boy and broke his leg, but physical infirmities could not balk that indomitable will. He taught school in his native Newtown, which he always loved so we'll, debated with Hon D. N. Morgan, Beach Hill and others at Hattertown, studied law at Harvard, practiced his profession at Pittstield and New York and, in 1869, was made pro- lessor in the reorganized law school at Yale. Municipal, State and national honors have since been showered upon him and he was one of the two masters in chancery in the State, a United States office. He was of the law firm of Plat & Tyler and seemed in the prime of his rare talents. The grip struck him, he got out too early and burst blood ves- sel in his brain, which almost immediate ly ended his life.
