SOUTH CANAAN.

Did time and space permit, your cor respondent would like to give detailed account of Children's day at this old church. Such numbers of bright faced happy looking children must have been surprise and delight to almost every one. The service was one issued by the Congl Sunday School Publishing Co.,, and was very attractive. Where all did so we'll, it seems hardly fair to distin guish, but one or two things must be noted. The song "Daisies White" where all the little boys and girls were decorated with field daisies, was exceed ingly pretty. The ten commandments in verse. recited by Miss Hattie Millard's large primary class, was perhaps the most attractive feature. The single recitations were all good, also dialogue between two boys. The church. was prettily decorated with potted plants and cut flowers. The Rev MT Hanna gave a little sermonette from the words: 'Be Doing with seven heads, good and easily remembered. Great credit is due to the superintendent, MT Ii. P. Morse, the teachers and scholars for an attractive service.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to- gether, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by E. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only con stitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to tea spoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

COUNTYH HOME.
Meeting of the Senators and Repre-
 sentatives.

Meeting of the Senators and Repre-
 sentatives.
 In accordance with the copy of the call for the County Convention publish ed last week, the representatives and resident senators of Litchfeld county met at the Court house in Winsted last Saturday morning, for the purpose of considering the purchase of temporary home at North Canaan, which the coun- ty commissioners were attempting to make. There were thirty six of the sen- ators and representatives present.
 A committee of three. consisting of Senator George w. Dains and Repre- sentatives G. P. Ward ard I. N. Bar tram, was appointed to report on the question of the county home at Canaan, and reported at length in the afternoon through the chairman. Our space does not permit us to publish the preamble and resolution, syllabus of which we give.
 The preamble refers to the Gilbert Home at Winsted, founded by the late William Gilbert at an expense of S100,- GOO and endowed by him to the amount of S400, 900, where the dependent child ren of the county had been cared for at cost of one dollar per week or sum of $500 the past year to the county. It also refers to the negotiations of the county commissioners for the purchase of real estate at North Canaan to cost $650O, with expenditures which with purchase price will amount to at least $SOOO. And that the county commits sioners without just and reasonable excuse are attempting to remove the de- pendent children from the Gilbert Home to North Canaan, without any authority or direction, no appropriation having been made, and no intimation having been made of the contemplated purchase to the county representatives. THEREFORE RESOLVED, That we the senators and representatives of Litch field county, do emphatically protest against the action of the county com missione1s in attempting to remove the children from the Gilbert Home to North Canaan or any other place, and in attempting to purchase the real estate above referred to, or in creating any debt or obligation on the part of said county in connection herewith, or for any expenditures connected with the purchase or leasing of said county home at North Canaan or at any other place, except the said Gilbert home

CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE N STOCKS.


Tho downward movement in stocks was con-
timed today. and, although the volume Of bust
ness was smaller. the final declines were larger
than they were Yesterday. For the moment the
buvinr mower seems to be exhausted, and the
continued selling of long stocks, supplemented Oy
the efforts of the bear faction has had its natural
result Whether the declines that have been
achieved are not much less than should nave
been expected in the circumstances must be leu
10 the authors Of the movement, who may DE
disappointed when they attempt to recover thelr
stocks The principal sellers 10 tie past lew
DAYS have been believers in higher prices who
bonod 10 make turn on the short side Of the
market. Timid or shifting, bulls are capable of
more mischief than an honest bear faction ever
accomplished.
There is no doubt that large pert Of the
selling this week has been excited by fears OF
financial disturbance in Boston. The Maverick
National Bank, Of that city, which is one Of the
ported 10 have sustained large loss by 1he
recent suicide of Irving A. Evans. The loss IS
believed 10 be less than 100000, sum whlch
is little more than O half of the banks surplus
Ii could be charged of without affecting any
one outside of the shareholders, but because the
bank has a large line of deposits the ios may
become important by large Withdrawals OF ac-
counts, and consequently by extensive shlftlngs

and on railway securities chiefly held II re would
not be beneficial although il is diff & 10 per-
ceive how the disturbance can be more than local
IL is understood that other Boston bank Is
affected in any way.
The speculation was influenced also by the gen,
eral expectation that the Bank OF England VIII
raise It's minimum rate of discount 10 per
cent The weekly meeting OF the governors VIII
be held tomorrow, ami their action was I0rc-
Swallowed by the advance in the open market
rates for money to about the present bank rate
In is not impossible, Of course, that the bank has
absorbed the loanable funds in the open market
for the mere purpose Of justfying an advance in
check the outflow Of gold. The chance of an adj
vance TO per cent chilled speculation at the
London Stock Exchange, and IN this market buy
inc for foreign account was practically suspended
In view Of the fears Of higher money abroad
and of financial disturbance in Boston the stock
market displayed great resistance. Apart from
Iackawanna and less active coal stocks, the hnal
declines were less than l per cent, and, IN many
instances they were only small fraction. The
decline of per cent in Sugar Refining stock and
the weakness in a few other stocks Of the same
character were merely incidents without influence
on the general course Of prices. The closing was
heavy at about the lowest points, hut the decline
brought dulness.
