The Copeland Brothers Go,
 BRIDGEPORT.

Buel's Springhill home for nervous in- The farm buildings are fine, but the san- atorium is not imposing, because pur- posely conducted on the cottage system. Litchtield will ever be noted as the for mer home of that famous old divine, Dr Lyman Beecher. The old Beecher home stead is still in existence.
 Here is the Deming place with the date of it's erection marked 177l, and there the residence of Thomas R. Trowbridge of New Haven, Henry R. Jones, N. c. Barney and Joseph Cazzino. New York, manager of Horton's ice cream. A drive down South street shows the famous old Wolcott house where the statue of George the third was melted up during the Revolutionary war for bullets for the patriotic colonists. The place is now owned by Miss Alice Wolcott. The Episcopal rectory also proudly bears the date 1881 in antique characters. The Bantam Lake house is charmingly locat- ed in a great grove of oaks beside the largest sheet of water in the state. The famous stock farm, Lakeside Park, own- ed by Banker George 5. Jones, is located on a beautiful eminence overlooking the same sheet of water
 Litchfield is place where people live to the ripe old age of S4 to 96 years and yet it may not be termed a slow town. Very recently a system of water works has been surveyed and carried through, giving a fine head of pure, sparkling wa ter that can be thrown over the highest buildings. The water shed contains BOG acres without the interference of build ing or road, and in the reservoir basir are some 200 living springs.
 As a fit accompaniment to this great | modern convenience, J. Deming Perkins has donated some $40,000 for the cree. l tion of fire house and apparatus. Thi: l has just been completed, and is certainly | an ornament to the place. A handsome | building without, it's interior finish is o1 | Scotch tile and cypress, and besides be | ing fitted up with the latest tire-controll | ing paraphernalia, it contains everything that can conduce to the comfort and en tertainment of the fire laddies. Tn, | equipment includes a gas machine fo
 lighting the place, bowling alley, poo
 room, lavatory and bath, kitchen ant dining outfit and a tower; also dormi ] tory where persons injured at fires ma,
 receive surgical attendance. MT Perkin
 has fine house on North street. Witt
 the modern protection to property, ant
 the growing popularity of the place, req
 estate has been given a great impetus
 and building sites are hard to obtain a | any price, H. $.

LITCHFIELD.
A NEW ENGLAND MECCA.

Ltchfield, located upon numerous hills like the Holy City, Jerusalem, is getting to be more and more of a noun tain resort as years roll by, and the pub lie become better acquainted with it's beauties and the invigorating influence of it's atmosphere. Just now the aul um- nal glories of it's foliage would be hard to describe. Nature has permitted an unusually long season and the lawns, flower beds and borderplants have buG just begun to lose the freshness and lov- illness for which they are far famed. The hotel business follows closely the limits prescribed by Nature. and as the leaves begin to fall, whirling noiselessly and gaudily to rest among their fellows in the grass, so the summer guests one by one, or in parties, take their depar- ture for narrower and less exhilarating winter quarters in the towns and cities, Already numerous fine residences are closed, and the first of November will see Litchfield as free from city guests as of summer songsters, although like the feathered friends they will hasten te their favorite places as early as the sum
 mer permits.
 Perhaps the finest site and residence suited to it's grandeur is Prospect hil and E. B. VanWinkle's mansion now 1T process of construction. The first story | is made of rough field stone trimmed with finely dressed red sandstone Above this the castle-like structure il framed and tastefully shingled, ant roofed with slate and tin. Timothy s
 Allen, the New York optician and bot anist of more than amateur attainment has in Hazelhurst summer home Q l marvellous beauty, whose surrounding
 he has greatly enriched by the cultiva
 tion of hundreds of choice trees am
 shrubs which are representative speci
 mems of their various genera. The eS tensive J. ". Goddard place with it
 charming outlook upon forest and lak and miles of private drives, is anothe < spot worth visiting. Here is located D

HOnOred Veterans.

What the Grand Army Journal, Utica, N. r., says
 ofDr David Kennedy, discoVerer of Dr Kenne
 dy's FavorIte Remedy.
 Dr Kennedy, who will be remembered by many an old soldier, as president of the Examining Board of Surgeons for the discharge of Invalid Soldiers at the SaGterlre t \. A. General Hospital, West Philadelphia, Pa., found the need of a medicine that would dissolve the excess of uric and tactic acid in the blood, which is the cause of many ailments physicians encounter, kidney, liver and urinary troubles, dyspepsia, rheumatism, scrofu- la, salt rheum, excessive nervousness and sleeplessness all arise from this one cause. After patient toll and experi- ment, pr kennedy's Favorite remedy was finally produced.
 That iG met the want, and accomplished the cure of these various diseases, is evil dent by the grateful acknowledgements of thousands of the best citizens of the country.
 There are few Grand Army men more widely known than Commander James <. Dean of Gen Grant Post, RondouC, N. Y. In speaking of Dr Kennedy's FavoTitc Remedy, Commander Dean re- gently said ''I suffered from an aggra- vated stomach trouble and chronic dys- pepsia for ycar4. Various physicians prescribed for me without benefit. Af- ter using Dr kenucdy's Favorite Reme- dy but a week, 1 felt better, and q little further use completely cured me. It is the grandest medicine Ou earth and does just what they say, cures dyspepsia, stomach disorders and builds up bro ken down or overworked person, for am q living testimonial to it's mcrit.'
 Mir Wilbur l.. Hale, Qpartermaster Pratt Post, G. A. R., Kingston, N. N., speaks with equally as fOrcible words. After l returned from the war; said Mir Hale, "I had most horrible case of Salt Rheum. Doctors gave ne up, but Dr kenncdy's FavOrite Remedy healed every sore, strengthened my nerves and built up my weakened constitution; now enjoy life.
 Mir F. C. Brink of Poughkeepsie, , N. N., suffered from Catarrh of the bladder and chronic kidney complaint for 20 years, and had given up all hope of ever find ing relief, when Dr kennedy's Favorite Remedy was brought to his notice and by the time he had taken the fourth bot Gle his old trouble had entirely disap- pCarcd.
 It is a medicine that cures and we can do no better service to persons who may be suffering from disease, than to say, use Dr keuncdv's FavOritc Remedy, for it will cure you if taken according to di- rections.'

Patrick keating, who died October 16, 1895, at his home in Great Ring district and was buried last week in St Roses cemetery in the Glen, was at the time of his death 73 years of age. He is surviv- ed by four daughters and two sons, all of whom have attained their majority, and with the exception of two daughters mar ried, are residents of this town. Of the immediate family of the deceased two brothers, Edward in Ireland and John of this town and two sisters, Mrs Catherine Corbett of Sandy Hook and Mrs Kinairy of Chicago are living. The deceased came to this town about 30 years ago and has lived here ever since. He was a hard-working, God-fearing man, and liked by all who knew him. Some years ago his wife died, while the family resid- ed in the village of Sandy Hook. He and his children were employed in the Man. tic mills and those who had dealings with him testify to his worth. He afterwards returned to his farm, where, with his daughter, Bridget, he resided till his death. He was very patient in his long suffering and died resigned, fortified by the rites of the church to which he be longed. He was ever consistent mem Der of the Roman Catholic church, anC among the pioneers of that religion il this section. May his soul rest in peace The pail bearers were Michael Heating Patrick Heating, John Heating, Edward Heating, John Heating, Martin Heating all relatives of deceased. The funera procession was large from his home t St Roses church, were religious service
 were held and thence to the place of in tsrment, the presence of so many testify ing to the truth of the foregoing brie oblIuary by one who knew him well.

DEATH OF HERBERT r. MINOR.

Herbert r. Minor died, Tuesday, October 24, of pneumonia, of which he has been the victim little over week. He suffered very much, but was very patient and cheerful, trusting God to the end. He had been in Kent learning the carpenters trade the past few months, and returned home for a short visit, and little did any of his friends think he had returned to die, which shows us how little we know what day may bring forth.
