 NAUGATUCK, May A. By sosinvitation last night we attended the final rehearsal of ''Hick'ry Farm" to be produced to- morrow night by local talent, the Gem Dramatic club. The play is one well adapted to amateurs. The scenes are laid in a New England home, which isS entered by william, who working on the credulity of a miseT, not only robs the father of the homestead, but steals the affections, and elopes with the daughter. Then after robbing the village bank he tries to place the crime on an innocent lover of the girl, but is finally brought to justice through the aid of detective. The comedy part which is quite funny is a strayed away Irish alderman who becomes the fourth hus- band of the farmers frisky sister. The characters will be very we'll sustained. attend will get full value for their money.
 The remains of Mrs Lynch, aged 36, were buried this morning. Those of Lawrence Phelan, aged 58, at 3:30 to- day, Dr Futile made his report yester- day to the coroner of each case. He gives the primary causes as the same in both cases.

An Angler Lifts an Old Straw Hat and
 Sees B GrinninE Skull.
 William Cossett of Rockville made a ghastly discovery yesterday, while fish ing in brook near Windsorville. Following the brook through a swamp, his attention was attracted to an old straw hat. Out of curiosity, he lifted the hat and peered into the eye-sockets of grinning skull. As he lifted the hat hair came with it. A sodden mass of clothing covered the bones of what had once been a man. The flesh was entirely gone, nothing remaining but the skeleton. It is supposed that this is all that remains of Carlos Thrall, who disappeared mysteriously from Wind sorville last July.

AMUSEM ENTS.
Louise Hamilton.

Louise Hamilton and her excellent company entertained another large au- dience at the opera house last evening, when Polly, or the Little Rebel' was played. Miss Hamilton is one of the most interesting of soubrettes, and she kept her audience delighted with many surprises in the way of clever songs and pretty dances'incidental to the play. As an actress she is all animation, and when the part demands display of tender feeling she is pathos itself.- Binghampton Leader. At the opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
 AlleGOry of the War
 Of the allegory of the war, which will be produced at the opera house this evening, the Providence Journal says: The views aroused enthusiastic recog- milton, and the old soldiers in the au- dience were carried back to their own days "at the front" and to the actual scenes which these photographs called up so realistically.

Success Tells Who Is Right

If you know all about an article you can buy it anywhere. If you are a critic on Dry Goods, for example, you can protect yourself from misrepresentation by your knowledge; but suppose you are an or dinary man or woman with no pretensions to being an expert. In such cases it is only matter of common prudence to visit an establishment of recognized standing, one whose name above, is in itself guarantee of quality.
