George B. Bunnell, resident of West
port, has done a noble thing in securing
the United States marine band for Bun
nells, April l, and giving quarter of
the gross receipts for the improvement of
the old Kings highway from Southport
to Westport. The cause alone should
pack the house, for this national band is
rarely heard outside of Washington and
will be accompanied ON this trip by Marie
Decca, soprano soloist. Mr. Bunnell's

tention to ask for an additional appro-
priation, which, we hope, will be grant
ed. We should favor the appointment of

the work done and plans for the future
and then report to the Assembly,"

 The funeral of Isaac B. Booth, Esq, on the afternoon ef the Sth was largely at tended by relatives and friends gathered from Trumbull, Bridgeport and Hunting ton to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. The bearers were young and strong men, as he died in full flesh and little reduced by sickness. Rev w. F. White offered prayer and spoke briefly and befittingly of the deceased; of his interviews with him during his illness and of his religious convictions and feel ings, which were stronger than generally known. He gave place to Rev N. T. MerWin, who was present, as he said, in compliance with an earnest request of Mir Booth, made when taking leave of him previous to his departure for Po- quonnock, that he would attend and of- ficiate at his funeral. During the two years since Mir MerWin closed his pastor ate in this place, he has been called again and again to speak the last sad words at the grave of some friend whom he loved here and who held him in high esteem. And there are others left whose heartfelt wish it is that he should perform the same solemn rights for them, should he survive them. Taking for his theme the 14th of Job, 90th Psalm and 18th of 1st Corinthians, beginning with the 20th verse, he said these passages were the most appropriate and the most frequent ly used on funeral occasions of any DOT tion of Scripture, and, for force, fitness and beauty of expression, could not be excelled. After a few general remarks. he spoke personally of the deceased: Oi his public life; of his many good quail. ties; his genial, kindly ways and temper, ament, which brought him many friends

The Turn of the Tide

The advance sale for the production of 1.-The Turn of the Tide" at the Town hall, Tuesday evening, May l9, by the New town Dramatic association, is ilattering to say the least. The sales have already reached large amount and seats are be- ing rapidly taken. The event promises to be one of the striking society success es of the present season and is, indeed, worthy of such results. Nearly every one is enthusiastic over the grand treat in store for Tuesday evening. There are a few good seats left and, as the manager proposes to bring more seats into the hall, it is hoped that no one will be obliged to stand. The musical part of the program, under direction of Miss Jennie Fairchild, will be varied and ex- tensive. The superb Keller piano, will be on exhibition for week and H. W. Wheeler or J. J. Northrop will be pleased to show it to anyone. If decid- ly stormy, Tuesday night, the drama will take place Wednesday night.

 Sundays, more than on week days, E. J. Peck's rum hole draws rough and tough crowd of ''suckers" from the sur rounding districts, who make the day anything but quiet and holy and give to our usually peaceful village an unenvia- ble reputation. Toward night, with pock- cts empty and heads full, they begin to wend their way homeward, making the streets vile with their singing, swearing, fighting; and Mondays dawn often ar rives ere the last one has left. Such work and such proceedings from this un- licensed liquor seller are unpleasant for respectable people to witness and toler- ate. The Sunday fight between Peck and Sherman and the subsequent arrest of the former for Sunday selling had on- ly the mild effect of taking few dollars out of his pocket and he goes on with his unprincipled and nefaricus business; the latter appeals from fine of $2and costs. It seems as though this kind of work might be stopped and we think it can be, if our people will only take hold of it in a way that will mean business and show that we do not care to trade the good name of our place and the future reputa- tion and character of our young men and boys for E. J. Peck's financial gain.

his devotion to his wife and family; his deep seated religious sympathies and his many expressions of attachment to his pastor, manifested in various ways. In short, his address, like most of those of the reverend gentleman on such occas- ions, was able and most excellent. MT Booth held many positions of trust and honor in the town, was selectman six years, acting grand juror 9 years, often served on the petit jury, which duty he liked and for which he was well fitted, sometimes acting as foreman, was repre- sentative in the General Assembly of 1862, was elected justice of the peace sev- eral times and always filled every posit- ion credtably and we'll. He was of de- cided political views, always true to his party and ever reliable. Faults he had, as who has not, but his many virtues and good qualities overshadoweda and exceed ed them all.
