BRIDGEWATER.

Died, Monday, July 4, at about II 30 m, Eli Il. Weiton, just two weeks from the day of the accident when he was thrown from his wagon in Newtown. The result of that accident, as stated last week, was the dislocation of the fourth vertebr9, causing paralysis of the body below the arms. The only hope of recovery was to perform an operation and replace the dislocated bones in their proper position. An operation which was pronounced successful was perform ed, Saturday forenoon, by Dr De Wolfe of Danbury, assisted by Drs Snow and Brownley of Danbury, Williams of Brookfield and Griswold of New Milford. But MT Welton's age was against him. He was so reduced in strength that he was not able to rally from its effects and passed away, two days later. Funeral was at the house, 7th, II a III. He was nearly 65 years of age. His death is a loss much felt in the community and es- pecially in his home, where his compan- ion, who is in feeble health, Is left en- tirely alone. There are no children liv- ing, two were lost in childhood and the other, Alice, who married David Beers of Danbury, died in 1881.
