 THAT FIFTY CENT RlD

For the Burial or the Town Poor
 The Town Records show That che
 Number Of Deaths Between she
 Ages of Three and Twelve Years 1s
 Very Small. ..s
 There was more or less comment among the undertakers of the city yesterday over the apparently ridiculously low bid sub mitted by Undsrtakers Cox & Henzs for the burial of the town dead between the ages of three and twelve years. At the meeting of the seleotmen Tuesday evening, when the bids were opened, it was found that their bid was fifty cents per person, while the same firm's bid for the intermsnt of children under three years of age was g 50 per body. .-1,
 It was this difference in the amounts that provoked comment, and it was mat ter of surprise to nearly everyone that such small bid should be submitted. It was, however, explained yesterday afternoon that but very few deaths occur between the ages of three and twelve years, and that In consequence of this fact the bid on this particular item was made 50 small in order to make the total bid low enough to secure tho contract.
 In support of this statement 1t was ! shown that of the ninety nine intsrmenta ! made by the town undertaken last year | there were none of deaths between the ages
 of three and twelve years, while there were thirty-thres deaths under the age of three
 years. Cox & Henze have been the town
 undertskers for several years. and, being
 aware of the fact that the number of deathf
 between the ages of three and twelve yearl
 was very small, were enabled to bid very
 low on this particular item and thereby | aecurA the contraet

It will make food soluble and easy to digest. The diastase contained in the malt makes it SO. One dozen bottles of the genuine JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT gives as much strength and nour- ishment as cask of ale or porter without being intoxicating.

Fine Winter Fishing.

The Lttchfsld Enquirer says: Never has the winter fishing on the lakes and ponds in this vicinity been go much indulged in, and reports of enormous catches are of daily occurrence. The lack of employment in the factory towns has had great deal to do with the great increase in the number of fshermen, and the new law which pro- hibits fishing on Bantam lake after Janu- ary 31st has made the local sportsmen take time by the forelock. Some men from Torrington one day last week took 58 good sized piokerel and 40 perch that weighed over a pound each from the lake. and another man caught . big bass. George Camp and James Madden are reported to have taken 120 pickerel from the east mill pond on New Years day, and we hear tales of several two pound trout being caught, which were in some mysterious manner correctly weighed and of course put back into the pond.

SOME INTERPRETING FACTS

Regarding the First Baptist Church.
 The First Baptist church having just passed it's seventy. seventy anniversary a glance at some statistics of the growth of membership during the latter stage of it's history may be of interest.
 The ministry of Dr. Phelps began almost exactly half century ago. Since that
 time the church has had five pastors. Rev.
 s. Dryden Phelps. D. D., was pastor of the
 church for twenty eight years and received
 into it's membership 1,217 souls, or an av-
 craze of forty three year. This number
 included many who came by letter from
 the Second church at the time of consolida- tion in 1865.
 The next pastorate was that of Rev. T.
 Harwood Pattison, D. D., who remained four years and three months, and who re- ceived into the church 2O3, or an average of forty-eight year.
 Next came Rev. J. M. stiasr, D. D., whose pastorate covered three years. The number of additions during this period was eighty-eight or an average of twenty nine year.
 Rev. Wallace H. Butrick became pastor in May. 1883, and remained for five years and eleven months, during which time the number of additions to the church was 226. an average of thirty-eight year. The present pastorate began in May, 1889, and has therefore continued for four years and eight months. During this period the number of additions to the church is 2S8, or an average of ffty-one 8 year.
