REV ROBERT HUNTS LETTER.

Editor of Neps:
 I find little bit of news in your pa- per, that came from ound-about-sources, that needs a little explanation. MT Williams, from Massachusetts, and my self purchased jointly the Van Deusen farm in Salisbury. I had exchanged Florida land for some highly bred Allies and brood mares and I wanted place to keep them, and MT Williams, who is fine horseman, wanted to go on farm and develop them and so we bought the farm in Salisbury. He will move on it next spring and run it, and I shall have no care of it whatever.
 When my very kind friends of Pawl ing. N. r., can accomplish their pnr- pose and get house ready for me, I ex- pect to occupy it as my home as long as I shall live. You will do me kindness by publishing this letter and I hope the Pawling Chronicle will copy it. don't want any false impression to obtain among my generous friends of Pawling who have tried so hard to get me home among them. As ever yours,

From Beggary to Wealth.

Simon Oppasch, 8 millionaire who has been sentenced in Vienna to seven years hard labor for repeatedly perjuring him. self, was born without feet or arms. His father and mother were professional beggars, and in his twelfth year he waa put on the street by them to solicit aims. His physical defects brought him an ex- ceptional amount of sympathy and guldens. He saved his money, and in 1880, at the age of 47, he had accumula- ted 480, 900. With this sum he began budness as usurer and real estate specu- lator. In 1888 he had increased his for tune to S195, 900 in cash, and some eo0O,- 900 in Trieste and Parenzo real estate. Since then he has quadrupled his wealth by trading on the Boerse. Ills miser- Illness led to his present troubles.
 He had promised to marry a woman, but eventually threw her over to avoid mourning the expense of wedding. When she threatened him with legal proceedings, he bought her forbearance for 4 cents day. This expenditure was impoverishing him, he told her after a few months, and so he discontinued it. In the trial of the case which she then made against him he swore that he had never contemplated marrying her, had never promised to do SO, and had never paid her cents a day. After all thil had been proved false, he was tried and condemned. for perjury.-Boston Jour.

Social Possibilities.

Canaan in the winter season is admit tedly little slow and the coming sea- son promises no livelier time than for merly, so our society writer takes the liberty of suggesting to the people that they don't let the town get stagnated in the manner of amusement. 'All work and no play makes Jack dull boy '' and all business and no social entertain ment makes dull town We have the round of church sociables, but they can- not do what is necessary to make win ter season in town enjoyable. We need entertainment of diversified kind; amusements on 8 large scale and parties, receptions, etc.. individually given. en. tertainments given by the people col lectively, and organizations of interest ing character formed. What we want this winter to keep the people agoing land not all will or need to go all the while) is dramatic or amusement asso- citation, social hops, grand balls, private parties, dancing club and dancing classes, musical and literary entertain ments, debating societies. The village is equal to these things and can find plenty of talent to keep these things agoing and keep the interest fresh in all Points on how to start and manage these entertainments will be cheerfully given in these columns, if the people are interested, and think of doing any. thing in the way of making an enter. taining season of '93-'94. --

Success In Matching Sturgeon.

An important step in fish culture has recently been made by the United States commission of fisheries. Commissioner Marshall Mcdonald will be able to dem- onstrate that the artificial culture of the sturgeon is as practicable as that of the shad or trout. The sturgeon fishery pro- duces most important export in It's caviare. It Is one of the most valuable of the coast industries, and its present condition seems to warrant all the efforts of scientific fish culture. In 1888 exper- iments in the matching of sturgeon were carried on at Delaware City, Del, by the commission, but they were so little suc- cessful that until the present no further efforts were deemed advisable.
 The results that have just been at tained at the same locality by an assist ant of the commission, Dr. Bashford, dean of Columbia college. New York, seem, however, to be most important. In his trial experiment he has employed floating matching case of his own de- sign and has succeeded in matching sev- eral thousand young sturgeon. The floating eases were filled with fertilized eggs and moored in strong, braohish current. The eggs were matched in 94 hours.-New York Times.

CIRCUS.

Scribner & Smiths circus will visit Canaan, Wednesday, Sept. 20. with a first class show, circus and menagerie We clip the following from the Kenne- bee Journal.
 "Scribner & Smiths circus arrived in town on time Saturday and pitched their tents in Capitol square, just outside the trotting park gates. The weather was threatening, but the usual parade was given at noon through the principal streets. At the afternoon performance the tent was comfortably we'll filled and would have been crowded had it not been for the showers. The show com menced promptly at 2 o'clock and last ed till 4.O5, without hitch or let up in the acts and funny business in the ring. The audience was we'll pleased with the performance and heartily applauded nearly every act. The riding, contor- tion acts, tumbling juggling. horizontal bar feats, and a very comical act of two clowns on a ladder and trapeze brought down the house. The other clowns and acts were all good
 In the evening the tent was crowded and everyone was satisfied that for 8 25- cent circus none better has visited this city for many years. The side show was we'll patronized and gave good enter tainment. The concert in the circus ring after the regular show drew good houses and was very satisfactory.
 The circus drove across to East Jeffer- son Sunday, and will follow along the coast for the next few weeks. Messrs Scribner & Smith are very pleasant and business like gentlemen and deserved all the good business they have been having, and lots of prosperity in the future"

The Tobacco Crop

We are. sorry to be obliged to announce that careful examination as to the de- vastation to tobacco caused by the re- cent severe gales shows that the de- struction was great. From reliable and we'll informed source we have gath cred the following particulars, which we believe may be considered nearly &C., curate. About quarter of the crop was harvested before the last storm in fair condition, the remaining three quarters was damaged from 10 per cent to 50 per cent and some 75 per cent. Some crops in sheltered situations ss- capped with little damage. The amount of damage to the tobacco crop in dollars is enormous. It is very wide spread disaster because the storms were general throughout New England. Mil. ford Gazette.

Old.Time Walking Sticks.

Mir H. J. Gillette, the city evangelist, has cane with historical record which is recalled by the death of Col. Jerome Bonaparte. At the time of the visit to this country of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, in 1903, the father of Mr Gillette was clerk of the Bement Hotel at Albany, N. Y. Bonaparte visited Al bany and was taken sick at the hotel. The young clerk was especially solicit. ous for his distinguished guest and cared for him during his illness When Bonaparte recovered and was about to leave the hotel he presented MT Gillette with the cane he had been using This cane was highly prized by MT Gillette, and on his death came into possession of his son, the present owner. The stick was of orange wood, twisted nearly the entire length, caused by the growth of tighly clinging vine. The stick IS well preserved.
 It was during this visit of Jerome Bonaparte to this country that he mar ried Miss Betsy Pattison at Baltim ore, without the consent of his family, and the marriage was declared null by Ma poleon in 1906. Jerome Bonaparte was transferred to the army at once. In 1807 he married the Princess Catherine oi Wurtembury, and resigned as King of Westphalia until the expulsion of the French by the Germans in 1913. Col. Jerome Bonaparte, who died this week, was the eldest son of Jerome Bonaparte, the fruit of the Bonaparte-Pattis mar, riage, hence the grandson of the king
 MT Gillette's father was Jonathan Gil. lette, son of Col Jonathan Gillette ot Revolutionary war times, who was a i prisoner in the Sugar House prison in New York on what is now Liberty St. Evangelist Gillette also has cane which belonged to his grandfather, made from door post in the Sugar House prison. It is of oak and has head of vegetable ivory.-Hartford Times.
 Col Jonathan Gillette had three sons Jonathan, Serino and Almerin. Henry Gillette, city evangelist of Hartford, is g son of Jonathan Gillette; Lawrence Gil lette of Canaan, and Edward F. Gillette of Sharon are sons of Serino ;snd Charles and Frederick Gillette of Canaan are sons of Almerin |

Keeping stiu Half a Minute.

There was no sound except the faint and regular tick of watch. Otherwise silence and gloom pervaded the elegantly furnished drawing room.
 In one chair sat beautiful girl, her lips tightly closed, her eyes staring straight before her and her every mus ole tense with a powerful effort of self control. In another sat young man whose face expressed seriousness but confidence. In his hand he held an open watch, which he observed closely, only raising his eyes now and then to glance at the beautiful girl, who seemed to be In such agony. Five seconds, 10, 16, 20 seconds passed. The position of neither the young man nor beautiful girl had changed. Suddenly her eyes gleamed with wild flight; her bosom heaved; she clasped her hands oonvulsively.
 'I must speakr' burst from her blood less lips.
 'Twenty-four seconds" said the young man as he closed the watch and put 1t back into his pocket. "You lose the caramels by six seconds exactly"
 He had bet on a sure thing, but she wot not.-Truth.

Making Marble Out of Chalk.

In nature marble Is made out of chalk by water, which percolates through the chalky deposits, dissolves the chalk par ticle by particle and crystallixes 1t, noun tain pressure sohdifying it. It has been found that similar results may be ao- complished by chemical means. First, slices of chalk are dipped in a color bath, staining them with ttnts that will initiate any kind of marble known. For this purpose the same mineral stains are used ss are employed in nature. For example, to produce counterfeit ''verde antique" oxide of copper Is utilized. In like manner green, pink, black and other colorings are obtained. Next, the chalk slices go into another bath, by which they are hardened and crystallissd, com Ing out to all intents and purposes real mArble.-London Science Slftings.

Petroleum For Diphtheria.

In the village of Neuville-C Champ-d' 'Oi- sel, about nine miles from Rouen, a ma Hgnant type of diphtheria broke out last year. The country doctor, M. Frederic Flahaut, treated the cases in the usual way, but the deaths were numerous. Remembering, as he says, that the Eng hsh use petroleum as an antispasmodio and an antiseptic, he determined to try 1t as an experiment. His first trial was In the case of little girl years old. He had already given her up and pro posed to the parents to make the expert ment, which consisted in swabbing the throat with common petroleum. He had little hope of the success of his new method, but to bis astonishment he mo- dced an improvement after the very first application. He continued the treat ment, and the child recovered. Then he tried 1t successfully with his other pa- hents.
 This year he had 40 cases of diphtheria to treat, and he was successful In every one In order to be perfectly sure that the cases in question were genuine ones of malignant diphtheria he had the ex- pectorated matter submitted to the anal yds of Professor Francois Hue of the Rouen College of Medicine, and the pro lessor reported that be had clearly dis covered the presence In it of numerous bacilh of diphtheria. Moreover, his di- agnosis was confirmed by Drs. Deshayes, Lerefait and Baliay of Rouen, the last named being the physician in chief of the hospital of that city.
 The treatment presents little difficulty or danger. The swabbing Is done every hour or every two hours, according to the thickness of the membranes, which become, as it were, diluted under the ac- ton of the petroleum. The brush, after being dipped in the petroleum, should be shaken to prevent any drops falling into the respiratory channels. The pa- tients experience relief from the very first application. The disagreeable taste of the petroleum remains for @ few mo- ments only.-Normandie Medicale.

SIDNEY ENSIGN.

The funeral of Mir Sidney Ensign was attended from his late residence in Huntsville on Saturday, Sept. 9th. In the absence of his pastor, Rev O. w. Hanna, the services were conducted by Rev l.. A. Robbins, pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal church of Falls Village. A large circle of friends was present, among them his bereaved companion and all his living children, numbering seven. as follows: Hon. Sidney F., of Lime Rock; Ely, of Huntington, West Virginia: Mrs George Brown, of Falls Village; Theodore, of St. Louis, Mo. Henry M., of Carlstant, N. J.; Mrs Mel son Dean, of Huntsville; James T., of Huntsville.
 The deceased was very highly respect ed in this community, so that beside the immediate friends, ,acquaintances for miles around were present and vied with each other iE showing respect to his memory. MT Ensign had been a life long resident of the town of Canaan, having been born at Huntsville, Sept. 4sh, 1907 Through his entire life he has been highly respected by all who knew him. For many years he was an active business man, always noted for honesty and integrity. He was held in such high esteem that important trusts hod haon ooro,o;tfaJ fo b;ro p,ony times, in all of which he showed the strictest integrity and excellent business ability, unravelhng difficulties. settling disputes and showing tact that won for him the approval of all who knew him. He served his townsmen faithfully ID any commission assigned to him, though from his retiring nature he shrank from public offices. For number of years he was county commissioner, doing e1; cellent and faithful service.
 In society MT Ensign was genial, and good company, though man of few words. In his home he was 8 loving husband and true father; truly his children rise up and call him blessed. He was twice married. His first wife was the daughter of Rev Charles Prem tiss, for many years pastor at South Ga. naan. To them were born five children all of whom are living save one, Charles, who died few years ago leaving fam. fly, some of whom were present at the funeral on Saturday. In later years MI Ensign married Mrs Annis Merwin, oi New Milford, who survives him with three children born to them, and mourn their loss.
 For many years the deceased was 6 member of the South Canaan Congre gational church, and he was constant attendant upon it's services, for years be- ing member of the choir, at the same time holding various offices in the church. Although aged, and infirm ir the last years of his life, he held unti the last, more than usual interest 1T things that were going on around him holding to remarkable degree his fac ulties until the close of life. For sever al months he had been subject to mos acute suffering but with patience anG even cheerfulness he endured only feel ing that, ''To die would be gain" The end was peaceful. His bereaved com panion and children. and the large cir cle of friends, have the sympathy of al who knew him, and all have the com forting assurance, that "What is thei loss is his gain.
