HOUSE CONSERVATORY.

Without doubt the finest display of house plants in this town can be seen at the residence of H. H. Warner at the Center. The conservatory is on the south side of the house, and especially noticeable, as one approaches on the road from the south. The conservatory occupies a space l7 feet long. The view presented fro Il the outside is indeed magnificent. Just now there are many geraniums in bloom, and calla lillies, and other Towering plants lend their beauty to the scene. This conservatory is the special pride of Mrs Warner, and to her skill is due the beautiful display. One geranium plant reaches from the floor to the ceiling, and is filled with blossoms. There is an immense palm tree in her collection, an orange tree with fruit, etc.

NEW MILFORD.
A WELL KNOWN HORSE.

Among the well known horses in this part of the state, is the stallion, Sargent, owned by E. B. Marsh 6 Son. The Marsh homestead is located about half mile south of the Housatonic bridge, on the Lanesville road. Sargent, by the way, was foaled in June, 1889. He is a dark bay, with two white ankles behind and weighs l050 pounds. Sargent is be- lieved to be one of the very best sons of the great Alcantara, which is praise enough for any horse. Among his good points, as his owner puts it, are high breeding, size, style and speed, with a level head and no nonsense. Sargent's dam was Volante, who was in the noted great brood mare list. Sargent has speed in him and already has record of 2.26 1-2, and there is reason to expect that he may obtain record of 3 20, this year. The disposition of this horse is all that could be desired, and his owners are justly proud of him.

DEATH OF ISAAC STRONG.

Isaac Strong, one of our oldest citi- zens, departed this life, April 10. at the age of 80 years. His disease was pneu- monia of which he was ill only few days. He was the last of nine children, seven boys and two girls, all of whom lived to be over so years old, and five of them over 90. This family has frequently been mentioned in the public prints of late years, as the 'slong-lived Strong family" We do not recollect in the his- tory of the town of an instance of equal longevity. Both of the parents died in early life. Fifty-six years ago the 4th of this month, Mir Strong was admitted member of the First Congre- gational church. He. was the oldest member of the church, in date of mem- bership, save two. Sheldon Summers, his junior in age, is 10 years older in membership, and Charles w. Kirtland, also his junior in years, is one year ear Tier in membership. On his admission to the church. he became very devoted and efficient working member. He was constant in his attendance at the Sab- bath services, and also the Thursday so- cial prayer meeting in which he took an earnest and acceptable part. No matter how inclemenG the weather, or urgent his business affairs, he left all to be pres ent at the hour of prayer. There was | no variableness or shadow of turning in his purpose in whatever he discerned | right and just. Thus he has lived, and so he has died, living and practicing every thing good. His funeral was at tended at the First church on Friday, Rev J. A. Freeman officiating. The burial was at the ancient South ceme- tery. He leaves widow and numerous other relatives to mourn his loss.
 Horace D. Curtiss is very dangerously ill from hemorrhage of the lungs. Hi; | friends are very anxious in regard to the result.
