 WHEN buying q building lot, or other real estate, make sure that everything ia alright, before signing the documents or paying over your hard earned money. This is the advice given by 8 gentleman who is loser through neglect to follow out the above pEecept, and it is timely. Before buying, people should know if the title Is good, if the place has any in cumbrance, not only in the way of mortgages, attachments, liens, or un- paid taxes, which are easily found, but also if the whole lot is available for use, if there are any restrictions in the shape of building lines, if the water privileges and the drainage are good. If then after inquiry and search of records they are satisfied with the property, the next thing is to have good deed or convey ance which shall define the size or boundaries in such way that there can be no doubt about them nor dispute with the neighbors about the place. The deed should not only be accurately re- corded, but also witnessed and dated, It is surprising how many really inn portant documents have been found without date, and some have had to be sent thousands of miles to have this in- serted. The purchaser should read the deed all through before completing the transaction, and if he has any doubt about it, should submit the document to \ the judgment of,a third person for safety. Be sure and have the deed recorded.

 | WATERBURY people who saw "Ted, ,'' the seventeen years old horse that trotted ten miles in thirty minutes, at Bridgeport the other day, last summer, often wondered whether the old ''skate" could show any speed. He was entered in the circuit races and his Idilapidated appearance attracted con- ksiderable attention from horsemen, who immediately sized him up for a ringer when they were informed that he was entered to trot in several places. After being refused to be allowed to trOt at Manchester, his owners attempted to ring him in at Hartford, but his numerous back entrance monies at other places, which had been left un- paid, barred him from all privileges. He had also been around the country under several different names, which made it impossible to find out just who he was. From Hartford he went to New Britain, from which place all track of him had been lost. It is very evi- Bridgeport, Wednesday, that had he N pulled in first money.
 No great business can be gained or kept except by advertising. Every city has many instances of merchants who tried to do business on their unheralded merits and failed. Getting bargain is the second law of nature. The mer- chant who consistently and continually proclaims to the people that he has bar gains, will draw the crowd, and make friends if he has what he says he has. In the hurrying, busy, eager life of to- day, it is the constant advertiser who attracts the attention of the public. He who waits for the people to discover un- aided by his advertising the merits of his store will wait only to see his busi- ness dwindle away to nothing. Adver- Using is to business what vigorous health IS to the body. One can drag along an existence without it; but exis- tence is not life any more than the simple fact of having something to sell is business.
