A Package of los Valuable Letters
Found Near Quinnipiac.
Yesterday morning about 4:3O o'clock
Henry Dennhartt, who works for Davis
Brothers, brick manufacturers, discovered
lot of letters addressed to Washington,
D. c., lying alongside of the railroad track
above Quinnipfac. Mr.. Dennhartt brought
the letters into the New Haven post Office
and delivered them to Assistant Postmas-
ter Boyd by whom they were forwarded to
their destination on the mail train leaving
here at 1890 The letters were from Bos-
ton, Springfield and other towns in west
ern Massachusetts, and were evidently part
of q bundle which had been made up on
the Springfield "Owl train" and accidently
dropped from the window or door of the
car.
Mr.. Dennhartt lost days pay in bring
ing the letters to the New Haven post
office, but the assistant postmaster has no
power to give him any reward. The case
has been called to the attention of Superin-
tendent Ryan with the recommendation
that reward of $500 be given to Mr..
Dennhart in order to reimburse him for
the loss he has sustained and this will un-
doubtedly be done.

Dyspepsia

S
Makes the lives OF many people miserable,
and often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, 4 faint, ' all gone"
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu-
larity Of the bowels, are
OiSereSS some of the more common
After symptoms. Dyspepsia does
ex: not get well Of itself. 1t
6osiS requires careful, persistent
attention, and remedy like Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. 1t tones the stomach and other
Organs, regulates the digestion, creates
good appetite, and by thus e;oL
overcoming the local symp- n
toms removes the sympa- headache

little good. In an hour
oufn after eating would expe-
rience faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling,
as though Ihad not eaten anything. My trou-

which is that OF 4 painter, and from being
