The silver cornet band may properly be said to have been ushered into exist ence with the birth of the "New Year" and is now efficiently organized with q full set of instruments the total cost of which figures closely in round numbers to six hundfed dollars and are owned by the organization and when they become proficient enough to play in public they one half of the instruments are silver The band comprises eighteen pieces who are under the toot til age (tutelageJ of John c Wolfe who as their leader plays the solo B flat; George w..

MIR BEEBE's BLIZZARD, OR THE BLIzzARI
 THAT NEVER CAME.

MIR BEEBE'S BLIZZARD, OR THE BLIZZARD
 THAT NEVER CAME.
 Editor of Ne,cs: -
 The wonderful preparation for MrBee- be's blizzard "Tbat was in Vista" from Feb 1st to 10th 1891 was marvellous tu behold. It had sad face, 8 humorous face, and finally no face at all. We re- member the sad part of the blizzard of 1888, when the little ones actually starv- el to death for the want of their daily food, and fathers in search of 1t froze to death before they could reach their homes. We remember the death of one of our great statesmen, Rosco Conklin, whose death resulted from exposure in the blizzard of 1888. These are the sad phazes of . blizzard. The humorous part of blizzard is that which we have just seen from the 1st to the 18th of Feb 1891. You could see the people about the 1st of the month going home across lots, on dead run, with snow- shovels for the blizzard. The store- keepers of. East Canaan and North Canaan had g rushing trade for about 8 week inasmuch as the people of these hamlets were afraid of the blizzard that was to be and they laid in goodly store of the defensive order. People that had no snow shovels. and did not feel that could afford to buy them. could be seen bringing in their hoes and rakes to scratch away the imaginary snow of Beebe's blizzard. Those that did not have these implements would make them out of board and an old broom handle. At Mi Elm there was half barrel of four on hand. but hav- ing an idea that blizzards were like stories in the New York Ledger (''con- tiuued in our next'o au extra barrel was purchased. suppose because flour is a very easy article to keep. And such quantities of salt food, that even look ing at the tied packages would almost make you want to drink quart of ice cold water. If the woodsheds were only d foot from the back door, wood had to be brought in to last month at least Now as look back on it, think good Il. al of stock was taken in the Beebe blizzard Now suggest that he would not get up another such 8 scare another year and spoil all the boys Saturday fun, turning them into work days for blizzards that never come. The trouble is, Beebe's liver was out of order aud he ''drempt dreams" Another year, about this time so near spring, a doctors per scription might save our country folks pocket books, contents and all. States folk would be willing to pay small amount toward the doctors fee for Mir Beebe. w. J. THOMSON,

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

My theme isn't new, but think that my plan Will meet the approval of each married man. Who, knowing the joys that good little Can call up to Tighten the burdens of life, Doth look with surprise on the lonely old Whose trust is in strangers for breakfast or dinner. Unmarried! Now, boys, make a " memo" " of this, With the bachelor-man there is something His heart may be good, his head may be But his notions of right are decidedly
 wrong. Whatever his fortune, no matter how snug, Whats the good of it all with no baby to hug. In his lonely abode, be it ever so grand, What of kindness or love can his dollars command?
 Would yon laboring man, whom people call
 poor,
 Whose wife and whose children now wait
 at the door To bid him glad welcome, yield one little tot For all the bright shekels the hermit has got? Now the bachelors life, no matter how queer he May think it, I purpose to render quite weary.
 Let's tax him in talking, in sleeping, in
 winking,
 In running. in walking, in eating, in
 drinking. What say you, my friends9 Let the bachelor note.) The notions efore you, and ladies can uote!

Miss Laura A. Roys. matron of the Gilbert Home at West Winsted, visited relatives in this town last week.
 The real estate and personal prop erty belonging to the estate of B. s. Sparks, deceased, will be sold at auction at East Canaan on Saturday, March 2l, at p. m. The property consists of 2 acres of land, one COW, one tive-year-old horse, wagons and harness, two chests of carpenters tools and various small articles.
 THE NEWS of March II mentioned some of the bequests made by the late Jonathan Scoville, but it was in error in stating that Mir Scoville left $3OOO to the Roman Catholic Church society in Lakeville, Conn. The Roman Catholic Church society at Lakeview, Ont, in- stead of at Lskeville, Conn.,. gets the S3OOO. Besides the gifts mentioned it is also sand that Mir Scoville gave, in his will, S5OOO to St Johns Episcopal soci- ety of Salisbury and $500 year in per petuity to the Methodist Union chapel at Chapinville.
 -One of the most gentlemanly and accommodating of the throng of jolly good fellows who punch tickets on Col Stevenson's Housatonic railroad and leased lines is Clark P. Lane, who, by the way, is now senior conductor. He runs out of Bridgeport at 10 8. m. and doesn't finish his day until 8 45 p. m., when he reports at the Bridgeport office and goes home. He is short and rotund, with just suspicion of gray in the hair which struggles to cover the top of bis head, but hardly succeeds. Behind his big mustache the lines of his mouth at times appear stern and grim, but there's merry twinkle in his eye and a wealth of good humor and sound common sense stored away be- heath the cap which is his badge of office. Friday is his "day off," and George M. Brown, another of the solid men of the railroad, is usually on his run. Conductor Lane has so long been assisted by Brakeman James c. Dovey, he of the smooth -shaven-face and clarion voice, that either would feel almost lost if separated. May the day be far dis tant when whole souled Clark Lane shall make his last run and hand in his final report! Bee.

Beware of Ointmenss for Catarrh that
 Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole sys- tenn when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on presrriptio from reputable phy- s'aus, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O., contains no mercury , and Is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.

WERE YOU, MY DEAR.

1 wouldn't turn my head to look after fine frocks or impertinent men.
 I wouldn't forget to sew the braid around the bottom of my skirt, or the button on my shoe.
 I wouldn't conclude that every man who said something pleasant to me, had fallen in love with me.
 wouldn't feel that was an i'll treat ed parsonage because, though l could play pleasantly, my friends didn't count me modern Mozart
 Iwould not. when could only have one frock, choose conspicuous one that would mark me as the girl in the red plaid.
 I~uuld not, because was tired and nervous give snappy, i'll natured replies to questions asked me by those who really cared for me.
 would not get in the habit of speak. ing in familiar way of the men I know when you make them Tom, Dick or Harry they are apt to consider you as Kate. Nell or Molly. ~ 5
 I would not permit any girl friend to complain to me of her mother-it Is like listening to blasphemy.
 would not when l brush the dust off my hat forget the cobwebs of dis tIust and suspicion in my brain.
 would not tell my private affairs to my most intimate girl friend, nor would ask her impertinent questions.
 would not write silly letters to young men, or permit them to be famil jar with me.
 would not grow weary in we'll doing instead would keep on encouraging myself by trying to live up to my ideal of 2 woman, and the very fact of my trying so hard would make me achieve that which I wished. The Ladies Horao Io,,rnal

A New Sewer Pipe Constructors.


 New Sewer Pipe Constructor.
 A sewer pipe machine is the latest to claim public attention as Minne- apolis invention, and the owners of the patents are confident that they will revolutionize sewer pipe making by it's use. The invention is of good deal of importance, as at present all of the sewer pipe used ir the country is made by hand, and this method is so expen- sive that it has been impossible to make the pipe in sufficient quantities to supply the demand. A great deal of brick has been used in sewer con- struction in consequence. By the pres ent method of hand manufacture, two men can only get out fifteen lengths of pipe a day, while the new machine, with two men to operate it, can make 100 lengths. ......
 The pipe is made of a composition of cement and sand. By the hand meth cd fifteen pound talnp was used in pounding the composition after it had been placed in the mold. This made very weak pipe, as the weight was not sufficient to pack the material until it became firm. In the machine a 300 pound hammer is used to force the mixture into shape in one motion, and this makes a pipe that will stand weight of 75, 900 pounds without break ing, and such weight is never placed on it.-New York Telegram.
 Legal Bulls.
 Lord Kenyon stands at the head of the legal fraternity of bulls. He once addressed a prisoner at the bar who had been convicted of stealing wine from his masters cellar in a very bombastic style, lil1ening his crime to the most atrocious man can commit, and con cluded by saying that for many years he had been ''feathering his nest with his masters bottles
 Coleridge, in referring to Lord Ken yon's incredible ignorance, tells us that in his address to the jury in trial for blasphemy, he said, Above all. gen. tlemen, need name you the Emperor Julian, who was so celebrated for the practice of every Christian virtue that he was called Julian the Apostle.
