 Raoes-General News.
 Willie, the six-year-old son of Will liam Hickey of Washington street, was drowned in the lake about o'clock yes terday afternoon. The boy, with Tom mic O'Connell and another boy about his own age, came down to the banks of the lake at the foot of Silk street, near Mrs. William Fosters. and the
 Hickey boy undressed and put his clothes in a boat and waded out a few feet from the bank and went down into
 the old raceway, which is very deep and has steep bank, and went over
 his head and was drowned The other boys were frightened, but raised no out cry, the O'Connell boy going to his home on Cherry street and telling his mother
 that the Hickey boy was drowned. The
 fact that the body was in the water
 was not known until an hour or more afterwards when the boys mother
 came down to the lake to look for her
 boy and found his clothes in the boat. An alarm was raised and soon several collected at the spot, and George Mer- rills with rake found the boys body only a few feet from the waters edge. The body was in an upright position near an old stump, and when caught by the rake came to the top of the water head first.

 VOLUNTEERS REUNION.

Which balance ($2S.65) has been paid over to H. c. Baldwin, chairman of the general committee, by R. w. Lewis, chairman of the finance committee.
 OLD COMRADES.
 The Waterbury American remarked apropos of the Fifteenth c. V. reunion held in Naugatuck on Monday: "The incidents which characterize a meeting of veterans for purposes of reunion like that of the Fifteenth c. V. at Nauga- tuck to-day are not unlike those witch mark the anniversaries of college class es twenty-five or thirty years out. There is the same spirit of abandon and for getfulness of the present, the familiar skipping of old comrades on the back the affectionate leaning of one on an- others shoulder, the calling of each oth- CT by the first name or by a nickname and the revival in every possible way of the old spirit of the days when they were young. Thirty years after the war the soldiers are older than class Of thirty years college graduates, because the war graduate was older at the time than the college graduate, yet the men who assemble in Naugatuck to-day are still, to look at in the prime of fife, strong, hearty and full of capacity for enjoyment. Their friendship is based on intenser experiences than those of any other class of men who meet in re- union-on sympathy in trial, mutual ef- fort in danger, help in difficulty, and often on genuine and even crucial unsel- C. 5 titled to all the pleasure to be gotten out of meeting, visiting and recalling those scenes of by-gone days, and if there are those of us who are men grown and are yet without memories of the years which are so vivid to them, there is none so poor In patriotism as to begrudge them the honor of those achievements and the satisfaction they find in recalling them"

Overlooking is a prolific cause. and
very often by reducing the food sup

But some qualities Of the milk will
produce collie, so that it is as well to
have q cure ready. 1t nearly always
comes at night, but cannot be timed
invariably, for if the mother or nurse
count on a couple Of hours of rest
through the day. it is just as likely to

applied to collie as well as other things.
The symptoms are sudden, piercing
cries and contraction of the legs. Some
attacks are very severe. while others

the remedies of our grandmothers. are
of the little use, for they only soothe
without expellipg the wind which
causes the disturbance. Drops and
cordials are useless for the same rea-
son. Peppermint was about the only
thing then used which removed the
cause, and that was mahe to stupefy
by adding laudaDum.
The remedy DOW in vogue with uni
