DEATH OF EX-GoV MORRIS.
PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY IN NEW HAVEN
 LAST WEEK.

PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY IN NEW HAVEN
 LAST WEEK.
 Ex-Gov Luzon E. Morris was stricken with apoplexy in his office at New Haven on Thursday last and dled in a few hours, Following so closely the death of D. W. kissam, the event made serious im- pression on the minds of our citizens.
 LuZon R. Morris was the son or the late Eli c. Morris of Berkshire. His early schooling was in the district school at Berkshire, among his instructors being Peter Nash, c. c. Warner, Charles Beers and MT Peck. He attended school for one term at the Middle district school PhilO Clark being his teacher. Ex-Town Clerk Charles Henry Peck attended school with him at this time. He board ed with his uncle, Silas N. Glover, doing chores for his board. MT Peck says MT Morris was a studious youth, seldom join ing the boys In their sport.
 At the age of l5 he left Newtown, be-, ing obliged to shift for himself. He went to Roxbury and secured position as apprentice in blacksmith shop own- cd by Lacey Higgins, who at one time lived in Newtown. He taught for time and after that he went to school.
 His next position was with Raymond French, an augur manufacturer of Sey. mour. Eli J. Morris, his brother, went
 
 to give his younger brother job. He was very much pleased with young Nor ris, and in short time made him book keeper and foreman. In few years he left and entered Yale college, coming out to the farm vacations to work. MT Mor- ris was married June 15, 1856, to Eugenia I,, daughter of Lucius and Laura Futile, of Seymour. They have six children. three sons and three daughters. MT Morris political advancement be- | gun in 1856, when he represented Sey- mour in the Assembly. Of his recent political career, and of his election to the | governorship the public are familiar. Since retiring from the governorship | of the state he had confined himself to an | extensive law practice. He had been in | slightly poor health for some time, but | was not thought seriously ill., The funeral occurred on Monday in | New Haven and wasargely attended.

 The September meeting of the Ladies Missionary society will be held, next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The subject for the meeting will be: "Con. trasts in Africa as shown in the lives of Robert and Mary Moffat and Rev Josiah Tyler" The lives of these early pioneers read more interestingly than a romance and study of them will inspire one with earnest Christian zeal.
 As the missionary" potatoes which were planted by the children of the Sun day school are dug, it is requested that they be brought to the store of Merchant l.. c. Morris. There they will be weighed, careful account kept of how much each one brings, and all will be stored together until the time of the harvest festival.

cATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physi- cians in this country for years, and is a re- gular prescription. Itis composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers. acting directly on the mucous sur. faces. The perfect combination the two in. gradients is what produces such wonderful re- suits in curing Catarrh. Send for testimoni als, free.

What the Stamford Advocate said about the Schubert quartet who appear at the Town hall tonight: "Among a
 number of selections by the quartet was
 Beethoven's Vesper Hymn. The parts
 were evenly balanced, and fine musical taste was displayed in the delicate pianis- simo passages with which this piece aoounds. The concert concluded with Dudley Bucks Good Night by the quartet, which was in no way an excep- tion to the high standard of excellence which distinguished the entire perform ance. The members of the committee who had charge of the affair are highly elated over the success achieved both from 8 musical and financial standpoint , The quartet will be assisted by Henry l.. Orters, the elocutionist. It hardly seems necessary to urge anyone to attend this entertainment for it promises much en- jOyment to all who will be fortunate enough to come to hear these artists.
