BRIDGEWATER.

BOUND OVER TO THE SUPERIOR COURT A hearing was held in the Town hall. Monday afternoon, the 30th, before Jus tice A. H. Gillett in the case of the state against Warren Pitcher. Pitcher and John Hall, who live in the south part of the town, were charged with stealing and concealing eight ferrets belonging to Charles Evitts. The ferrets were valued at $f0. The theft was said to have been committed the night of September l2. Pitcher was arrested in Southville, Sat urday, by Constable James H. Keeler. Four of the ferrets were found in his house. Hall has not been found. At the hearing, Lawyer Addis of New Milford appeared for the state and Bates of Dan- bury in behalf of the defendant. Sever al witnesses testified on both sides. Suf- ticient proof was given that Pitcher had harbored the stolen property, so he was bound over to the Superior court. Pitch- CT claims he did not know the ferrets were stolen, but that they were brought to his house by John Hall one night be- tween 12 and ? o'clock and that Hall told him he might have half of them if he would keep them for him.

 Strength.
 Weak, nervous, delicate, overworked women ,are the ones that need strength builder, tonic for their nerves, and a cure for that awful internal trouble that is wearing out their lives. Thousands of women have found such in Dr Kenne- dy's Favorite Remedy. Mrs Christiana Beal, of Jonesport, Me-, writes that her daughter had been great sufferer from female trouble, and after repeated trials of doctors prescriptions and so-called cures, all of which gave no relief, she used Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and it permanently cured her.
 If you have headache, uterine catarrh, irregular menstruation, leucorrhoea, or irregular monthly sickness, chronic weak ness, bearing down incidental to change of life, or any of the attending evils that are present in female complaints, use Favorite Remedy, for it will build up quickly the run down constitution and bring refreshing sleep. It will dispel those tired looks and feelings, and re- store the nervous system and permanent ly cure you. Our daughters grow up weak and delicate; mothers can avoid such conditions by giving them Dr Day. i'd kennedy's Favorite Remedy.

OTHERS SAY THE SAME.

Everybody is interested in town im- provements, but not everybody is willing to pay for the same though they enjoy seeing them. Stranger, if you do not believe it, just go ahead and pay for some public improvement out of your own pocket and try to get subscriptions to pay for the same. But don't 'sgo too heavy" Just stop when you get half done and pass around the hat. We speak from experience and hope have profited thereby. We find people give when we hold them up after the manner of the western train robbers, but so far not 8 soul has voluntarily come forward with anything but good advice and words of encouragement. But those do not pay the bills. We are not alone in this mat ter. We have heard others say just the same.

BURNS SHOOTS HIMSELF.

Willie Burns shot himself, Sunday afternoon, in front of Perry Hurd's house. He went to the door and asked for his wife, who was calling at the house. She being afraid would not come to the door. He turned away, but came back and shot himself in his breast. He was taken to his fathers house. Drs Stevens and Loomis are attending him. There is fear of blood poisoning. Young Burnes was married a year ago to Maggie Weeks. As the couple were in moderate circumstances, she had been living at B. $. Hurd's. Burns wished her to go to housekeeping, but we understand she had applied for a divorce and that is, if so, probably the reason of the shooting. Burnes was a sailor and on the Baltimore, off Chilli, at the time of the fight about two years since.
