THE SHERwOOD-BURR WEDDING

Among the many weddings in our vi- cinity, last week, was that of William O. Burr of Fairfield to Miss Aretta B. Sher- wood of Greenfield Hill, which took place at the home of the bride, who looked most charming in dress of white moire silk, wearing tulle veil and carrying a bouquet of white roses. Miss Mamie T. Burr, sister of the groom, was maid of honor. The ceremony was performed by Rev Frank s. Child of Fairfield under a magnificent floral arch. The decorations of the house were cosmos and chrysan- themums. After supper, which was serv- ed by Caterer Brown of Bridgeport, the happy couple left amid shower of rice and bouquets of roses for somewhat ex . tended tour. Upon their return they will reside in Fairfield. Wedding gifts in un- stinted profusion and endless variety at tested the esteem in which the bridal pair are held by their friends.

THE BEST PLASTER.

Dampen piece of flannel with Cham berlain's Pain Balm and bind it on over the seat of pain. It is better than any plaster. When the lungs are sore such an application on the chest and another on the back, between the shoulder blades will often prevent pneumonia. There is nothing so good for lame back or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a flannel bandage dampened with Pain Balm; 50 cent bottles for sale by E. F. Hawley, Newtown, and s. c. Bull, Sandy Hook.

The great shrinkage in the price Of
mutton and wool has already ruined
one great sheep ranch in Wyoming.
Senator Warren, the principal owner,
has stated that the failure was due en-
tirely to the depreciation in live stock,
particularly on account of the great
shrinkage in the price of mutton and
wool in the past year. He said that
during the year 1893 the company sus-
tanned loss of SOC. 400 in the value
of sheep and wool shipped to market
that year, SIG. 173 on cattle and horses
and 1920. 275 in the value of live stock
not marketed, making a total loss OF

1892. And still the tariff tinkerers in

the Democratic ticket from a populous

The Fad Of Fads.

IT'S fad to have fad or hobby ;
so IL you do not wish to be considered
"a no account sort of person" you
must straightway adopt one. OF
course, ordinary people cannot afford
to indulge in hobbies that cost money.
like Reinbrandts, aid horses, and
yachting; but you may have a hobby
for walking. and that costs only shoe.
leathe and time; or for collecting
wild-flowers. which is quite as mex
pensive; indeed, there are thousand
and-one things that are pleasant to do,
and can easily be developed iDto very
presentable hobbies. In the Septem-
her number of DEMoREsT's MAGAZINE,
Henry o. Havemey-r. Theodore A
Havemeyer. Frances Willard, Hamil-
ton w. Mabie, Edward Il. Rice and
Senator w. A. PETER talk entertain
ingly about their hobbies, and it is
very interesting reading, the interest
being heightened by the accompanying
portraits. "Spongers and Sponging
in Florida is a han dsomely illustrated,
readible article, which every one who
uses a sponge will appreciate. Sub
marine Lights" should be read by ev-
cry lover of the sea. "A day among
the Shakers" is a romentic story ac-
companied with most exquisite pic
tures; and the other stories are except
ionalIy bright and amusing. SANTA

"Corpulence Considered as Disease. I"
Fans in Decoration" aboun6s in sug-
gestions that will be appreciated by
every house-keeper; and Summer
Guests and their Entertainment" ie
seasonabIe. Altogether,
this is an exceptionally brilliant mum,
