 Bells. Rev J T. Bailey weds Miss Thalia Mite. ell.

The great social event of this and many year was the marriage of Rev Jesse T. Bailey of Auburn, Me-, and Miss Fhalia Mitchell, eldest daughter of MT and Mrs Henry P. Mitchell of this place. The ceremony was performed in the Congregational church of this place by Rev Dr Mclean of the College street church. New Haven, the old pastor of the groom.
 Prof Henry w. Beecher presided at the organ, giving, among others, the choicest of all, the old wedding march, as only a professional can.
 The church was lavishly decorated with profusion of flowers, ,tastefully ar ranged. On the front of the pulpit, front ing the bride and groom, hung their re- spective initials, Nj and B, in rich yellow asters. The couple stood upon pure white rug, beneath large representation of a church bell made of wild flowers.
 The bridesmaids were the brides sis ter, Miss Patty Mitchell, ,her cousins. Miss es Ada Averill, Mary Perry and her old chum, Miss Anna Belle Baldwin, dressed respectively in silks of old rose, deep yell low, blue and pink. The bridal dress was of white brocade silk; tulle veil. Groomsmen and ushers were VIII. Wake lee, Amos Mitchell, Robert c. Mitchell and Frand Averill.
 The church was crowded to witness the scene when the place lost one of it's fair est and best daughters. Among the guests were the brother of the groom, with his wife, Dr and Mrs Bailey of Auburn, Maine.
 Rev Mir Bailey preached very accepta- bly for us for six months gathering in,as the fruits of his ministration, some 20 con- verts, after which he received very unanimous call to settle with us perma- nently, which call he saw fit to decline.
 Miss Thalia Mitchell has been long the leader of our young society; beautiful, accomplished, talented and agreeable, she has been the light of hospitable home and she goes to a field of higher work with the best wishes of her wide so- cial acquaintance and friends.
 Immediately after the ceremony, the party left for family reception at the old home and the bridal party started on their wedding trip on the evening train.

Mrs N. B. Glover.

Died at Newtown on Sunday, August 2s at D Ill, Amelia Gilbert, second wife of the late Norman B. Glover, aged sl years and five months.
 Born in Woodbury, second daughter of David and Sarah Gilbert, married, May 10, 1843, to Mir Glover. They lived in Hanover till 1866. One daughter, Julia, was born to them, who became the wife of Henry l.. Beers and died, 1881, in giving birth to a daughter, now II years old, living in Oil City, Penn.
 Mrs Norman Glover was a woman who commanded the respect of every one who knew her, hard working woman, remarkably kind to the sick, always having the sorrowing ones of earth on her heart. Unvarying health blessed her till suddenly stricken down, five years ago last April. Since that time, she has been confined to her chair. The death of her sister, Mrs Bartram, last Winter, was great grief to her. She often said: ''rhe Lords will be done" :" She said to friend, not long since: Il am sitting here with my face toward the east, looking and waiting for the Lord to take me-" During her last sickness of three weeks, her patience never failed. Conscious to the last, she said repeated ly: "My prayer is, The Lord have mer- cy on me-" Two hours before her death, she spoke.
 Her funeral was from Trinity, where she was a devoted member, on Wednes- day at ? p m, Rev Mir Linsley officiat- ing. She was lowered into her narrow house by F. H. Skidmore, K. l.. John son, William Prindle, Abel B. Prindle and c. Beers Sherman.
 Mourners present from out of town were Edward l.. Glover and wife ot Danbury; B. F. Glover of New Orleans; |; F. 5. Bartram of New York Mrs Char lotte Botsford of Bridgeport; Webster Gilbert of North Branford; James Kins- ley and wife of Woodbury.
 Mourners in town: William H. Glow CT, stepson of Mrs Glover and wife, who was Mrs Glover's niece; Mrs Caroline Wolcott, niece of Mrs Glover and Miss Fife Wolcott, Charles Glover 2d and wife.
 MT and Mrs Edward l.. Glover, with Mrs Caroline Wolcott, the old lady's niece, assisted in her care during her last hours. Miss Katie Lynch, who, for 17 months, has been her faithful staid by her to the last and followed her to the grave
 Thus. one by one, the old people drop away, reminding us that the sands of our lives are steadily running out.
 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, for there is no work nor device in the grave whither thou goest."

Do you contemplate painting, this Fall? If so, try the Chil- ton Paint. It is a we'll known fact that the manufacturing of paint, mixed ready for use, has been, and is, sadly overdone, bringing about an unhealthy competition which many manu- lecturers have met by lowering the grade of their product.
 In the manufacture of the Chiffon Paint, it has been the aim to produce an article of paint which is so good that the consumer, having once used it, will accept no substitute. It is a mistaken idea that all paint is Paint. There is a vast difference in the products offered for sale. The Chiffon Paints are composed of strictly pure linseed oil, com bined with the best materials known to science for adhesive and wearing qualities and do not contain water, benzine or other injurious abulterants.
 We shall be pleased at any time to enter into correspond ence with anyone contemplating painting and will gladly answer any questions or make sugges- tions as to combination of colors.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT A GRADE CROSSING. Joseph F. Kilbride Instantly Killed by the 10 40 Express North from Bridgeport, On the Spot Where Eddie Hawley And James Fahy Met Their
 Death.

Mir kilbride, the Sandy Hook baker, had lately established bakers route and had store in Sandy Hook near Mir Augur's market. He was universally es- teemed and was soon to have been mar ried to Miss Agnes Lillis. In fact, on Wednesday morning he stopped at John Carlson's in the Street to see about a wedding suit.
 At the crossing east of Hawleyvil1e station, the Housatonic and New Eng land tracks are near together. The work men on the New England road say that Mir Kilbride was waiting for the New England freight to pass and did not mo- tice that his wagon was standing on the Housatonic track. The wagon was broken into fragments and carried about 100 feet. The body was carried still further.
 Dr k. M. Smith was summoned and found Mir Kilbride's neck, collar bone and one arm broken. He was son of the late Patrick Kilbride, for D years boss at the Rubber and his mother is Widow Margaret Kilbridc. He leaves brother John in New Jersey Thomas in the gas and plumbing business in Holyoke, Mass; James of Jersey City; Will of New York; Ed, foreman at the Rubber; Michael, coal dealer at the New England depot; and one sister, Maggie, who keeps house for her brother-in-law, MT Cavan- augh.
 Mir Kilbride had but recently bought new bakers wagon, which shut him in so that he did not see nor hear the Hous- atomic express. It is another shocking warning against public and corporate neglect of grade crossings.
 Funeral on Friday at 3 p m from the house.

Academy Notes.

The new circulars for the academy have been issued and It Is noted that the work of this advanced school will be greatly enlarged and extended with the incoming year. The principal and others interested in the school are apparently leaving nothing undone to make the academy courses as thorough and far reaching as is possible when the school occupies it's new site.
 Among the special features to be add ed are drawing, painting and vocal mu- sic. Lessons in drawing and music will be given free of charge to members of the school. Classes will also be formed and instruction given in oil painting, china decorating and water colors, the rates for which will be very moderate. Students, not otherwise connected with the school, will be permitted to take drawing and painting as an independent study. An excellent opportunity is here a trifling cost.
 A preparatory department has been es- abolished and the school will be graded one throughout. Miss Sarah G. Beers will have charge of the intermediate de- partment and Mrs NJ. c. Rodgers the pri- mary. The-pupils of these departments will be in rooms by themselves and every attention paid them for thorough and careful training. The object in estab- fishing these lower grades in their entire ty is to prepare pupils in thorough and systematic manner for the academic de- partment.
 The circulars mark out the course of study in full for the academic department, this year. Both the classical and busi- ness course will be extended and oppor- tunity will be given for one or more special courses.
 The academy may be a week or two later in opening,th Fall ,than usual, ow- ing to the removal, but it will pay all to wait.
 The patrons of the academy were ney- CT offered a more complete course for either advanced or preparatory work and were never promised staff of more ex. cellent teachers than at present. The prospects are bright for the academy
