CORNWALL RRIDG E.

This community was startled Sunday morning, Oct 7th.. by the sudden death of our worthy townsman, Henry l.. Beers. Although he had lived the three score years and ten, he being in his Tad. year, none were prepared to part with "Uncle Hen" Many manifestations of sorrow were shown and one by worthy Irishman. who had received assistance from him, by going over the road lead ing to the cemetery and smoothing over the rough places as he wanted to do something for his friend. Mir Beers represented this town in the Legislature in 1872 and 1876, was Selectman several years and held other offices of trust. He was kind and always willing to assist those in diversity. He was never married. He was a successful farmer, good counselor as many can testify. He leaves brother, the Hon. Victory 0. Beers, and one sister, Mrs Sarah Pierce, of Meridian. The funeral was largely attended the following Tuesday Oct. 9. at his home on Beers Hill, where he had always lived. He was buried in the family plot at Cornwall Plains. Rev MT Starr conducted the funeral services. The pail bearers were Sebrs Wells. Levi E. Curtiss, Charles w. Everett, Wilson P. Sturges, Seymour l.. Hollister and Charles Hollister.
 Mrs Catharine Knell, wife of Rev. A P. Knell, died very suddenly Oct. 10th. at the M. E. parsonage. The family have lived here since April and she was much liked by the members of the church. and society. The Rev Mi
 Wright conducted the funeral service on Thursday Oct. 11th. The remains were taken to Brooklyn, N. r., for in terment.

Henry R.Whitford,
A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.
Huntsville,

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so we'll known. far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An tad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do it. Besides. we heard a man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville. who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes more charitable friend remarked to us confl- dentially, in an ofY hand way, that writing lads" out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t; and he looked away over into the next county when hc said 1t but,-well, we are not slow to take a hint, If 1t is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful if we should really get 1t this ssoftening disease, we mean, and have it get real deep ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies," eat brain ness, i. 6. selling furniture at Hawleyvflle. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing to harden. Be compassionate, be just, be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind- ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat

Four regiments from this state, the Eighth, Eleventh, Fourteenth and Sixteenth, were at the battle of Antietam, Sept. IF, 1862, and last Thursday monuments to the above regiments on that battlefield were dedicated. Capt. Henry R Jones, of New Hartford, delivered the address at the dedication of the monument of the Eighth regiment, Col. Samuel B. Horne, of Winsted, at that of the Eleventh; Chaplain Stevens, of Wash- ington, D. O.. at that of the Fourteenth and Col. Frank W. Cheney. of Hartford, at that of the Sixteenth.

Editor ef he NeWs :

Editor ef Lhe News:
 Please allow me space to reply to your Sheffield correspondent, who must be nearsighted or of unsound mind, as he does not seem to under stand my item regarding my trip through New Marlboro. and asks for an explanation. Read that item over; you will see nothing there but what 9 clear mind could fully understand. My mission through New Marlboro was visiting, mingled with "biz," not to buy fruit.
 think of taking 8 tramp over to old Sandisfield soon, and expect to find that the wheels of time have wrought the same changes there as in New Marlboro.
 Hoping this will enlighten his clouded mind, I remain very resply yours.
