NEW MILFORD.
A SUCCESSFUL FIRM.

Activity that means a steady growth in business is the kind that tells, and that wins the respect of even it's com petitors. Perhaps there is no better il- lustration of this fact than the dry goods firm of Treat & Starr of New Milford,
 who have forged ahead at steady pace until now theirs is the distinction of being one of the largest dry goods houses between Great Harrington on the north and Bridgeport on the south. This growth has not been Of he meteoric kind,
 but has been accomplished only by the guiding hand of live business man who is not afraid of work. The firm is com
 posed of Messrs Benjamin Treat and w.
 Edward Starr, both New Milford gentle men. This partnership was started in
 1885, Mir Treat having been in the busi- ness before this time at the same stand. MT Starr came to New Milford from New Britain where he was connected with Humphreys dry goods house. Messrs Treat and Starr worked together ID the management of the business for one year, but Mr Treat, who wished to retire from taking an active part in the business, placed the entire management of the store in the hands of MT Starr, and has since been only the silent part-
 ner h 1885 only the first floor was ot . cupied by the firm, but each year has seen steady advancement until now they have one of the lightest and neatest stores in this section, comprising as 1t does three floors with floor space of 65x3O. But the enlargement of floor space is not all the advancement, for the increased business has made these im- provements absolutely necessary, and to-day the firm is doing more than thrih- ble the business they were eight years ago An eulogv to Mr Starr's manage ment is wholly upn, ce sasv, for u h facts speak for themselves, but he is a very pleasant gentleman to meet, whose

MORRIS GRANGE TO THE FRONT."-NO
 HAYsEED ABOUT THIS AFFAIR.
 Not since the raising of the Peace flag'' in the days of the Civil War, has Morris been in such whirlpool of ex citement as during the few days preeed, icg December 12, the date fixed upon fot the nuptiais with high Grange ceremon ies of A. Howard Clark of Morris and Miss Louise Griswold of MOntrose, Penn. As in England all roads lead to London, 90 in Morris all roads led to the church and chapel, the present headquarters of he Patrons of Husbandry, where exten. sive preparations were going on. Load~ of evergreens and other symbolic em- biems were arranged, preparations for feeding the expected multitude were be ing made, rehearsals by night and day kept all on the qui yive with curiosity and excitement. The eventful night was the perfection of winter weather, fine ~leighing, moonlight and not intensely cold. Although the time set for opening doors was o'clock, people began to as. semble at 5.30 and long before the stated hour arrived the church was filled, if not to it's utmost capacity, at least with a larger audience than usually assemblies on rainy Sunday, while every stall. shed, yard and hitch post within a radius of half mile was occupied and the streets were blockaded like Broadway The lecturers hour was occupied with speeches by $. E. Stockman, and L. W W. WhitGlesey and others, recitations by Mrs Stockbridge, lecturer, Misses Pearl inc Sanford, Adele Hill and Miss Senior duets by Misses Treat and Richards and an ''original pome" composed, writer and delivered by Brother William l. Burgess, all of which was interspersed with music by Kari's brass band. Thi: strangely reminded one of the trumpet's blare and cymbal's elang in the temple service in the days of King Solomon. AS the lecturers hour drew to a close, the bridal party swept in escorted by the of. ficers of the Grange. Misses Martha anG Mary Clark, the young sisters of the groom acted as maids of honor, bearing baskets of flowers. Miss Iiilie Morgan and William Turkington, Jr., were at tendanss. The bride wore dress o1
 white pean du soie, with veil, and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, bel brunette beauty being in fine contrast te the blonde loveliness of the bridesmaid Rev MT Pike per formed the ceremony il a very impressive manner. The feas1 which followed ought to have satisfied even the most fastidious.

THE LOCAL LABOR SITUATION.

There is no change here in the labor situation. Many of the men are work ing among the farmers for their. board. In an interview with J. H.. Cowles he says even with the proposed reduction the manufactured goods would have to be stocked for an indefinite time as they have but 12 dozen order on their books. It is Mfr Cowles' candid opinion that the tariff bill will pass and disastrously, too, to the cutlery business in this country.

AN EXCITING DUCK HUNT.

"From the waters and the mars hes rise the wild goose and the heron fly away to distant regions" These word~ were recalled to the writer as proceed ings in duck hunt were watched, last Tuesday. One poor little wild duck -traved to the mill pond, and the com motion caused was equal to bear hunt Six men were trying to capture that bird. No one could shoot to hit iC. One fellow tried three times without sue "e-s. another, d crack shot said, "Psha" lean hit that duck" but he tried and failed. The duck was followed up ~tream about mile, and as it was tired ut, was finally shot, tearing it all [" pieces. Wild ducks don't come here very day. If they did, work would b. 'ur of thr question. Every man in thi- vIcinity would be q sportsman hunting ducks. They might capture one out "f hole flock, although judging them by
 he past trial, soma would doubt it.
