AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.

One of our promising young men had an attack of toothache and with lit tie hesitation started for the dentists. Because he is fellow of strong physique, mighty will power, or great activity, the gas was not strong enough to put him fully asleep. He did, however, finally give up to it's influence and was soon dreaming of that which he thinks is the most to be desired of worldly possessions. But when the dentist pulled on the tooth he felt the shock and gave a leap over the arm of the chair, kicked over the table that the tools were lying on. and commenced dancing clog behind the dentist chair. As he was not yet wholly out of the influence of the gas his arms were very limpsy, his head nodded with every hop, and he staggered as drunk en man, but, nevertheless, kept dancing in spite of his fathers endeavors to calm him. When he did awake from his fun ny dream and had gained full control of himself he had an uproarous laugh. The dentist had, however, held on to the tooth.

DEATH or MARY K. DoLoHERY

X large number of the townspeople, went to Bridgeport, Tuesday morning, to attend the funeral of Mary k., wife of John Dolohcry, who died suddenly, May :, 1893, at her home in West Stratford of fever following childbirth. The de- ceased gave birth to a child the Wednes- day preceding and apparently was doing we'll until Saturday night, when a turn for the worse took place, and in a few hours death took her away from a sor- rowing husband aud six helpless babes, despite the best medical aid anl tender care. Mrs Dolohery was the daughter of the late John Heating of Huntington district and l years ago was married to her husband, John DOlohrry, son of Cornelius Dolohery, also of this town, who was then a resident of Bridgeport. After the marriage the pair made that city their permanent home, where q home was built by their united efforts, and prosperous future seemed assured for them. But death stepped in and marrcd the family happiness. The fu- neral occurred from their late home to St Mary's Roman Catholic church, East Bridgeport, where requiem mass was celebrated for the eternal rcposc of her soul; thence to the Catholic cemetery for uterment. The remains rcpo-e by the side of a babe gone before. The fu neral was very largely attended, B coaches being required to carry the mOurnerS, as the deceased was connect ed by blood or marriage with host of people in Danbury, Newtown, and Bridgeport, most of whom were present to pay the last tribute of respect to their dead kinswoman. Besides her husband and children the deceased Is survived by one sister, Mrs David Rourke of Bridge port, and two brothers, Michael and Bern- ard keating of this town, all married Her father died about one year ago, and a brother, Malachi, died six months sub sequently in town, leaving large and helpless flmily. A niece also, oldest daughter of her brother, Mivhael, a young girl just entering womanhoOd, died about the sane time. Another brother, Patrick, well and favorably known ci5iz n in town died suddenly few years ago. So thtC death may be said to have been pitile~s and relentless in It's Intercourse with this family. But tha lst k the saddc~t blow of all, and the sympathi.s of their many friends are with them in this great bereavement and JOSS. The decra-cd was 30 years of age. Among those who attended the funeral from NGwtown were, John F. Heating, Patrick Heating, Martin KeAting, Pat rick F. Heating, Patrick McGrath and James McGrath.

What might have been very serious ! fire broke out, last Sunday evening about | S.30 o'clock, in the building on Chestnut street formerly occupied by Starr c. Bar
 mum and in the rear of his present store. The fire started in small room in the
 rear end of the building which was un- used, but in which stood barrel of old
 rubbish which is supposed became ig- nighted by combustion. The fire was confined in the small room and thus pre- vented it's spreading to other parts of the
 building, although considerable dam age was done by water. The alarm was rung from St Thomas church which i' close by the scene of the fire and whose congregation had just been dismissed. The fire companies were soon on the spot, but there was some unaccountable delay in getting a stream of water start ed, but when they did, the fire was at once got under control. The vicinity in which the fire occurred is one of the most dangerous places in town for a fire to get well started a5 there is an almost unbruk,m chain of bOuildings from the
 iIickOk factories on Beaver street around to Clark's box shop on Center street, which it would be almost impossible to save, especially if a high wind should be blowing. The building in which the fire occurred is owned by Starr c. Bar mum, and is divided into two parts, one of which is occupied by D. R. Hull as harness store, and the other by Henry Seymour, the barber. D. R. Hulls loss was from $75 to $l00, caused mostly by water. Henry SeymOur's loss was very slight if any. The loss to the building is estimated to be about $100. All losses were covered by insurance.

The horse continued on his mad course and when this side of Chest nut Ridge he collided with an OK cart which was driven by John w. Behn, whic Il mashed up most of the wagon. The horse continued on with the front wheels, till near Frederick Ferry black smith shop, where he made a dive for the open door and cleared himself from them, going into the shop, where he was captured.

Wherever There is Lot of Wear

And tear on paint, it is absolutely necessa- ry to have the best. Poor paint lasts no time, it is not made to last, nor are its ingredients calculated to render it durable. All the ele ments of poor paint are cheap. Cheapness does not mean economy, but rather the re- verse. That which is best made from the best materials lasts the longest and therefore is the most economical, even if it costs a trifie more at the start. This is the case with the Chiffon Paints, whose name is synonym for satisfaction. Every one Of their component parts is the best that the market affords and no cheap substitutes are used in their manu- facture. For instance, ill smelling benzine is not used as dricr, instead Of turpentine. Pure linseed oil gives good solid body tO the Chiffon Paints. They are carefully ground seven times and such is their capacity that they will cover far more surface than any other paints manufactured Whatever paint you use, however, give it a fair chance and see that it is never applied to a wet or even damp surface If you disregard this advice you will regret it.
