BY THE OCEAN AT SIASCONSET.

Treasurer Charles H, Northrop of the savings bank, who is enjoying his vaca- tion at the Atlantic house, SiascOnset, writes interestingly as follows; After pleasant trip from New York by the Fall River steamer 'sPulitan," thence by rail to New Bedford, boat to Nantucket and carriage to Siasconset, found a remarkably quiet place situated on the borders of the Atlantic, particularly we'll adapted forrest and relief from business turbed by even the whistle of a steamer. l have passed the time very quietly and pleasantly thus far and have met num- Der of very agreeable people, among oth- CTS, Postmaster John Tweedy of Dan bury and J. w. Smith of Waterbury, who was formerly acquainted with your brother, Reuben H. Rmith. MT Smith l informs me that he has spent 13 seasons at Siasconset which I think is fair evi- dence that he is pleased with the place. One of the proprietors of the Atlantic, James F. Coffin, was formerly consul to St Helena andA has many interesting views of the place, including photo- graph of an engraving representing the scene at the death bed of Napoleon. Si- asconset has number of neat cottages along the banks of the Atlantic, one o1 which ia owned and occupied by Ex-Sen- ator John c. Spooner of Wisconsin. Al together Siasconset is quiet, home-like place, undisturbed by the whirl of fash ] ionable society, with an abundant supply of pure ocean air, comfortable days and cool nights; it is difficult to equal it fol a place of absolute rest, quiet and free dom from business cares.

Dibble has fine piece o1 tobacco, the only piece we have seen 1T the lower part of the town. l There is a fair prospect now that twt new brick school buildings will be erect ed, this fall.

MATTERS OF BUSINESS.


In the line of sheet music, musical in- struments' and merchandise. school books and supp lies, artist materials, pictures, frames and novelties, the little store around the corner at 3l John street, Bridgeport, known as Northrop's Art and Music Store, takes the lead, both in quality of the goods and low prices. You can buy sheet music usually sold for 40 cents to $1.50 for five cents. If you use music write for catalogue. If you have any school books that you are through with, take them there and exchange them for others, or anything in the store that you wish. You can make quite saving in your school books by buying them there. If you have any pictures that need frames, take them when you reach the city and you can have them to take home at night. Just now he has bar gain in 16x20 and 20x24 crayon frames in six inch gilt for $1.50.

nic will ke held next week Wednesday.
 Harry Tolles of Norwalk is at Edward Seeley's.
 Edward Seeley entertained G. l.. San- ford of the firm of Parks tS Tilford of New York, over Sunday.
 The dogs attacked Mrs Betsey Seeley's six-months-old calf and so tore it that at one time it was thought best to kill the poor animal to put it out of pain, but MT Dew, who has the farm on shares thought he might save it. It is the second calf they have lost by dogs in four months. The calf would undoubtedly have been killed had not MT Relyea, who lives on the Godfrey farm, heard its cries at 12 o'clock at night, and gone to it's assist ance, driving away two dogs which were tearing it, and in few moments would have killed it. The owners of the dogs who run at large all times of day and night. may have heavy bill to pay.
 The road down Sport Hill is disgrace to the town. All the dirt is off the large rocks and it is dangerous for horse to be driven off walk, to say nothing of the wrecks it makes of wagons. The tax payers pay for good roads, not such roads as this.
 There was quite an accident at Platt's pond, one day last week, which, thanks to the dry weather, did not prove so seri. ous as it might have done, had the pond been full. A lady, her husband and in- fant had been out rowing and on their re- turn on the lady's attempting to land she made misstep and fell in with the infant in her arms. The excitement was intense for few moments but, besides com plete wetting, no other damage was done.
 Several members of the '. P. $. c. E. attended the Endeavor convention rally at Parlor Rock, last Tuesday, and were much interested in the reports .given by the several delegates present, of the con- vention at Cleveland.

LOSS OF PO WEh and vital force follow loss of flesh, or emaciation. These come from impoverished blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches the blood, stops the waste of strength and tissue, and builds up healthy flesh. Nasty Cod liver oils add .tat but not wholesome flesh. Thin, pale, puny and scrofulous children are made plump, rosy and robust by the "Discovery." They like it, too.
 In recovering from Grippe" or in convalescence from pneumonia, fevers, or other wasting diseases, 1t speedily and surely invigorates and builds up the whole system. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets at work ali the processes of di- gestion and nutrition, rouses every organ into natural action, and brings back health and strength.
 If it doesn't benefit or cure, in every case, you have your money OaCk.
