Bridgeport,s Concordiaa, Rall.

Brtdgep0rGs ConcordAas' Hall.
 Bridgeport's Concordias paid 5000 tor the decorating of their hall for their big mssque- rade Friday night. The hall looked very handsome. When the floor committee ap- peared on the floor the applause was deafen- ing. The committee, consisting of sixteen members, were attired in costumes designed to represent Faust of modern times, and the reception committee were elegant laven- der colored costumes, representative of tho attire of the typical Romeo. A feature of the ball was the fine concert given by the Wheeler Sc Wilson band previous to tho grand march. Mir. Boyer, the new leader, acted as conductor in one of the selections, and MT. Streit yielded the baton for the others.
 At half-past nine o'clock the floor and re- ception committees, under the direction of Robert Weber, made their grand sntrse and executed a drill with precision and varie- ty of movements which won hearty applauae. The various evolutions were gone through faultlessly without Q spoken command, and in color and movement tho spectacle un- doubtedly surpassed anything of the kind ever seen in Bridgeport. The masqusraders were numerous and in consequence dancing was difficult, owing to the crowded condition of the floor, the spectators overreaching on good share of the space.
 The combination which evoked tho most praiss was that of the "Aneisnt Order of Full Moons" the same that won the first prize at the Arion ball in New Haven. The group was composed of eighteen young mon representing an organization of coloYsd mon. To this combination was awarded the first prize of $50.

The Protestant Ind dustriai Assoclasi

The Protestant industrial Association.
 Thirty-nine years ago society called "The Protestant Industrial association" was formed under the patronage of Miss Ann Gerry and other prominent ladies of New Haven, who were anxious to assist all Protestant women who wore dependent on their own labor for support.
 For many years 1t was very successful, there being but few charitable societies in the city. In the last decade, however, owing to various causes,it has not fulfilled its mission. There have been many avenues of labor opened to women, and one could for much less expenditure of time and money buy at the shops, or those charitably inclined at the employment bureau of the United Workers, ready made garments, 90 each year fewer and fewer applications for work have been made and less and less of plain work to be done. The majority of articles brought in to be made were of the finest description, and as there were but two or three women capable of undertaking such work delays were inevi- table and much annoyance the consequence on both sides.
 Under these circumstances 1t seemed to the managers that the society, which was not longer "charity" but . "shop," should be self-supporting, (as are all institutions of . like kind in other citiss), but tho patrons thought the prices quite too high, already, without the percentage, which in this case would bs added.
 After vainly advertising for plain sewing the managers concluded to give up the work. This last step however was not taken unad- vissdly nor lightly, but with the sincere de- sire on their psrt to do what was best for the public. It seemed to them that the money collected each spring (somewhat less than i've hundred dollars) from annual subscrib- CTS, did not do as much good as 1t might if directed into some other channel, where 1t would reach the poorest workwomsn, taking for granted that the finest needle-womsn would always command employment.
 It is the desire of the managers to thank the many subscribers who all these years have 60 cheerfully responded and to the patrons who have aided the cause, and to the latter, who will miss the convenience of the agency. they gladly commend Mrs. Burritt, their last sgsnt. She will try to please the public by having plain sewing done, secur- ing servants, etc, in connection with her other business, at No. 48 Grove street. The small permanent fund" of the society was by . unanimous vote given to the building fund of the United Workers and Associated Charities, thus perpet uating its usefulness.

Hartford Ice men Purchase seventy
 Ave Acres of Ice Tn Massach usests.
 HARTFORD, Feb. 22.-President William M. Charter of the Spring Brook and W. w. Taintor of the Hartford Ice company, have been taking time by the forelock and have oonsummated O contract for ssventy-fvs acres of ice in the town of Hubbardston' Mass, which will yield 75,000 tons, unless ill luck is mot with in harvesting the crop The sum of 5000 was paid for the ice on the lake, cash down, the seller giving the Hartford companies complete control in har vsstipg the crop. A number of buyers had offered to take part of the product, what they might need, leaving the rest to be dis- posed of if at the owners convenience. But sort, saying that he would sell the whole or none, and that the money would be oash in hand.
 Ice houses and apparatus for cutting, stor- ing and packing must be put up immediate ly in order that the work may not be re- commenced. This morning President Char ter and Secretary Taintor left for Hubbards- ton with two carloads of horses in charge of Ed. Balf, and also Q number of workmen. The number will be increased next week, joiners being taken from here, Springfield and Palmer to engage in putting up the ice houses. The lumber has been shipped from Springfield, going to Palmer by the Boston and Albany and thence by the Ware road to Williamsville. A spur track is to be built from the main road, thereby facilitating the transporta. tion, and giving the purchasers all the means necessary for sending away the ice after 1t is harvested. The lake is thirty- two miles from Palmer and can only be reached by the Ware road. The ice ysster- day was ten inches in thickness and the new present at least. If the cold continues 1t will make e good ice e the market can de- mand.
 The steam apparatus for getting in the ice, which the company has used at the extensive ice houses in Meriden, will be shipped to Williamsville to be put in operation there without delay.

The breath of chronic catarrh patient Is is often 90 offensive that he becomes an object of disgust. After 8 time alteration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked and frequently entirely destroyed. A constant source of discomfort Is the dripping of the purulent secretions into the throat, sorne- times producing inveterate bronchitis, which in its turn has been the exciting cause of pulmonary disease. The brilliant results which have attended its use for years past properly designate Ely's Cream Balm as by far the best and only cure.
