TRUMBULL.
APLEAsANT FAMILY GATHERING.

| APLEASANT FAMILY GATHERING.
 Although the cold was bitter and the
 wind very clustering, probably the sun
 never shone brighter upon that part of
 Trumbull immediately where the resi-
 dence of Mrs Charles N. Sterling now
 stands, than it did on Thanksgiving day.
 Only those who have visited this part of
 Trumbull, can fully appreciate the love-
 ly view from the top of the hill. Look
 ing to the south, one has full view of Long Island sound and the city of
 Bridgeport, while to the east, Daniels
 Farm and Old Farms loom up in the dis tance. Since the death of Charles N. Sterling, 15 years ago, Ms Charles N. Sterling, his widow has taken great pride in keeping the old homestead in thorough order, and certainly she has succeeded in every respect. Mrs Sterling has just passed her 76th birthday. She is one of the most remarkable women in tne state, even at her advanced age. She is perfect housekeeper. Mrs Sterling, being convalescent from severe cold, concluded that she would not be able to have any member of her family with her on Thanksgiving day, so only prepared for the immediate members of her house. hold; but her children had big surprise in store for her. About 1030 a. m., Thursday morning, as Mrs Sterling was arranging for her quiet dinner, she was disturbed by an unusual noise in front of her residence. Going to the door, she was almost paralyzed to find number of teams containing all her children. At first, Mrs Sterling thought she would faint and then cry, for the sight of so many people coming in so unexpectedly had tendency to alarm her as regards the welfare of the turkey. But when the several baskets were taken from the car riages, which were filled with many good things, Mrs Sterling breathed easier. The first thing on the program after the ar rival of the guests, was to get a good strong strap and fasten Mrs Sterling, so that she could take no part in arranging and adjusting MT Turkey, and in due time, plates were laid for II. Those who sat down were MT and Mrs Bradley, the latter the only daughter of Mrs Charles N. Sterling, Mr and Mrs Samuel B. Ster- ling of North Bridgeport, Mr and Mrs Charles s. Sterling and MT and Mrs John T. Sterling of Bridgeport, Mir and Mrs George c. Sterling of New York city and their youngest child, Mary Louise, Wool sey B. Sterling of Trumbull and Masters LeGrand and Howard Sterling; sons of John T. Sterling. After thoroughly en- toying the many good things and few hours discussing old reminiscences, the party left for their respective homes, all wishing that Mrs Sterling might live many years, and that the pleasant gath ering might be repeated.-[*

Did it Ever Occur to You |?
A Great Fall Opening.

Changing the cows from one pasture to another not only promotes the ap- petite and permits of greater variety of food, but also allows the grass on the pastures to better withstand dry seasons. It is mistake to allow cattle to graZe a pasture too closely.
 Twenty-two acres of land are needed to sustain man on flesh meat, while the same amount of land under wheat feed 42 people, under oats SS people, under potatoes, Indian corn and rice 176 people, and under the plantain or bread-fruit tree 6,000 people.
 A cores poudent says he never had such nice celery as last year, when the bleaching was done by wrapping the plants loosely in paper, adding more as they grew out of the top, and transfer ring them to the cellar late in the fall, with the protection still on.-[ Practical Farmer.
 There are still men that will stand up in convention and say that it makes no difference how little butter-faJ there is in the milk from which cheese is made. Yet that very cheese is gradually losing it's place in the market and ''has begun with shame to take the lowest place."
 Liquid manure is the most valuable portion of the manure heap. Rows of corn which were sprinkled with liquid manure, on western farm, yielded 92 bushels of grain per acre, while rows alongside of them, which had been well manured with solid manure, yielded only 59 bushels, showing large gain in favor of the liquids. The rows treated with liquids also resisted all disease, and the leaves were of deep green color, which was not the case with the other rows.- Troy Times.

A PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

Among the well-tilled farms in town is that of Daniel Nettleton in Nettleton Hol- low, now carried on by his son, Clarence B. Nettleton. Mir Nettleton this year raised about 250 bushels of potatoes and 300 bushels of corn. His father, while still hale and hearty, leaves the manage ment of the place in the hands of his son. Neatness and order is the rule here. He has one of the best appointed barns in the country. It is so located that a loaded team of hay can be driven on to the barn floor and pitched down into the mows. The cattle are in the basement and the feed is showed down to them from above. Mir Nettleton raised a large supply of turnips, which he feeds to his sheep.

HOW THANKSGIVING WAS SPENT.


 Thanksgiving day passed off very quietly here. The customary raffie was was held at the barber shop two even- ings previous. Several therefore went home with turkey under their arm and a few had occasion to thank their good fortune while several others bemoaned their loss of time and money in the vain endeavor to excel his neighbor, and if possible, prepare his table minus the turkey, so far as the raffie concerned them. As there is no regular pastor, no public religious observances was made of the day and in the evening, a drama was rendered at Upson seminary by some of the students and other young people of this vicinity, after which the German led by Mir Fiske of New York and Miss l.. Haynes of this place was danced and other dances, ancient and modern, followed prompted by E. J. Ca ble violinist, assisted by H. w. Beeman with the piano and gentleman from New Haven with the flute. M. E. Cable intended to play in the orchestra of the evening but "There's many slip" Just as he got his violoncello in perfect tone for the first quadrille, snap went the bass string and while he was medi- tating on this singular occurrence, snap went one of the others and the 'sbig fid- dle'' was laid aside. Aside from this disappointment the entertainment was most satisfactory to all who attended.

 Maj Kingman has great many relics taken from the Rebels, such as pistols, sabcrs, etc. His collection of bullets is also wonder. There is every kind, big and little, from three-pounder down tc the very smallest. There is bullet from New Mexico, also bullets covered with brass and one of German silver.
 The major has fondness for pistols and owns about 20, some of them quite curious. He has fine dueling pistol, which, however, is only kept as relic. He has a gun barrel, which alone weighs l9 pounds.
 Maj Kjngman holds high records as a marksman and in his prime was regarded as one of the crack shots of the state. He is now 63 and can still shoot with all the accuracy of an expert. At the week. ly shoot held in Washington, Maj King man generally joins in with the boys.
 During the last summer he has killed 140 woodchucks and 40 foxes and scores of hawks and other birds. The fierce hawks no longer terrorize the farmers chicken yards, for the long-range rifles of the major are death to them every time.

 He has two machine shops on the sec ond floor, which are models in their Here, he repairs guns brought in. He deals in everything in the gun line, and without effort has work ed up big trade. He has cozy resi- dence near his shop. He also keeps his residence in Bridgeport which for years was headquarters for marksmen and mil itary men. Personally, the major is cor dial and most genial and delightful en- 5ertainer.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY!
OUR GREAT BIRTHDAY
FIFTY YEARS OLD.
Hale, Hearty and Happy

The uocKING SENTINEL celebrate
to-day the beginning of it's semi cen
teniary. 1t is birthday full o
D ,asant recollections and expecta
t. ns,p:e ;tige preserved, of position
sustained.
Its pages during the last twenty
years, under the 90 ltrol of its pres.
ent proprietor, have been clean
from scandal, free from malicious
misrepresentation, unsullied by wi
full falsehood or unjust or ticism.
Its faults and follies are the out
groupings Of the fallible, not the
growth of cultivation. The good
chat may have been written is, we
hope, in the minds of good men,
preserved we know in the types i'm
mortal, an open page to be read by
the generations yet to come
Of the SENTINEL of the past and
of to-day, the issues of each reou:.
ring week speak for themselves
The last year. this Issue, ike all
preceding, is an epitomy of local
history, is diversified by sunshine
AMI shadow, but record of success
sIrmounting misfortune: of more
births than burials; more crowns
than crosses; more feast and fun and
frolic and festivals than funerals.
The week, the year and the half
century passed into the abyss of
Time tells, indeed, the tale of ca
lamities and bears the sad record
of the death of many near and dear
friends, bat however nournful these
recollections, We feel that the good
which has been born is more than
enough to counterbalance the loss,
TO temper the bitter with The sweet,
and make the remembrance more of
pleasure than regret.
With new lease on life, with no
wrinkles from age on the brow, the
SENTINEL. goes to the homes of the
of readers this Happy
morning cheered with the assurance
that its efforts to be held in esteem
have not been wholly futile, and
hopeful in the thought that what
ever errors may have been commit
led, a kindly indulgent public will
forgive and forget.
We bow our acknowledgements
10 our patrons; salute yol, Good
Morning, and pass on along the
bright vistas of the century. Il
