peared unusually well up to the day before
his death

six, died at his residence here yesterday
morning. He was formerly Universalist

of some of the most important congrega-

the editor of the Bridgeport Standard, and
was well thought Of by all who knew him.
Of late years he has not been active in re-
igious work on account of his advanced
age.

The New Preston correspondent of the
Litchfeld Enquirer says: The tobacco
growers are jubilant over the weed this
year. It is of excellent growth and free
from all defects thus far, but from this on
4I~o,.a kxz1
tered. However, harvesting goes merrily
forward, and tobacco buyers have gained
the refusal of many of the best crops at
from Is to 18 cents. The growers of
course run all risks, for though the weed
is at present in prime condition, when the
time for delivery arrives it may be the
most understandable of tobacco, or the
bottom may fall out of the prices now Of
fered.
