ished. The stone was drawn over from Mine Hill in Roxbury at a great expense. MT Matthews, who is Waterbury gen. tleman, bought the property in 1865, sold it again in 1870, and bought it second time eight years ago. From the outside one does not get an adequate idea of how much room the house contains. It is 110 feet from the front to the rear door. En- tering from the front door, the visitor passes into spacious hallway. This opens into an elegant drawing room. Beyond this are parlors, dining room, li- brary. The sleeping apartments on the second floor are roomy and attractive. MT Mitchell keeps the grounds about the house in fine order. There is d farm of no acres in connection with the place.
 H. R. Stone, the local grocer and feed dealer, has just got in several car loads of wheat. MT Stone sells tons of grain and feed. Being handy to the depot, and having his prices down to hard pan, he gets great trade, which constantly grows. c. A. Stone, who was formerly with his brother, is now with the Water bury Traction Go. Stone Brothers suc- ceeded A. A. Stone & Son and now the business is carried on by H. R. Stone.

The auction of Tuesday last, Septem- Der IS, was largely attended, but the day was too short. On Wednesday it rained and it was postponed for week, with new handbill. Additions also to the things sold. Some horses aud other stock, etc. The rain was welcomed and right well could the goods remain in the store and the people go home, that came the second day or remain at home that the rain might do it's work.
 The writer was in Norwich at the Free Academy and the magnificent state museum adjacent to it, when the rain be- gan to fall. It increased from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m., and thence on through the long and short hours of the night and only ceased about or a. m., on Thurs day. It was wide spread. If we had been in New York we should not have escaped it. We are still under the ne- cessity of doing what the Israelites of Joshua's day compelled the Gibeonites to be to them who by craft attain a league, to be drawers of water as we'll as hewers of wood. It will enable us to sympathiZe with many in like circum- stances.
 Theodore Curtiss from Illinois has been in town two or three weeks. He was born on Town Hill, about S1 years ago, or during our second war with England, xx1h To He is cousin of Dea F. A. Curtiss and is tarrying with him. He is hale looking old man, smart and spry, showing that he has lived true life and of good an- cestry.
 Town meeting day is approaching. The democrats have held their caucus. The republicans held theirs the 24th, at night. The stir, however, is not confined to the Wooden Nutmeg State. New York is on tiptoe and Tammany is in hot water, and the issue does not seem very doubt full. Those that play with fire must sooner or later get their fingers burnt.
 THE BEE printed the program of our conference here the 27th, and we pro- nounce it in excellent taste. Done nice- ly. So we can say to people who want any thing of the kind done, ask THE BEE for terms. They excel in this direction as well as in others. Don't be afraid to trust them. The managers have good common sense, which you know is a rare virtue. Corporations they say have no souls. If it is true of some corporations, it is not so of THE BEE company. I can testify to the fact that they are true men and no spies.

 Little Fannie,'' the faithful horse of Rev J. O.

She had a faculty for friendship and helpfulness. She seemed to have feeling of responsi- bility, that no accident should occur that she could help and she always did the right thing to avert it. A nobler animal never drew breath. There are many black beauties whose friendship to man is very real.

BR OXEN DO wv by disease is the natural result if you allow your liver to become in- active, your blood impure, and your system run down.
 The germs of Consumption, Grip, or Malaria, wait for this time of weakness-this is their opportunity.
 If you rouse the liver to activity, so it will throw off these germs, purify the blood so there will be no weak spots build up healthy aoeighs where there is falling off, you will rest secure from disease, for you'll be gerna-proof.
 Dr. Pieree's Golden Medical Dis covery does this as nothing else can. That's the reason 1t can be gtaran- teed. In eonvalescence from pneu- monia, levers, or other wasting dis eases, it's an appetizing, restorative tonic to build up needed flesh and strength.
 For all diseases of the liver or blood if "Discovery" fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back.
