TO pRoTr0T 0i'srnRs,

0uinnipiack Rivsr oyster Merchants to
 Hold n Meeting--The, Reported Purchase
 of Land by the Standard oil Company for
 an on Station-What is Said About 1t.
 The oyster men of this city are much exercised over the rumor that the Standard oil company is about to erect station on the banks of the Quinnipiac river. The following notice has been issued;
 New Haven, Conn, March 9, 1896.
 To whom it may concern:
 The undersigned are informed that the Standard oil company are consider ing the establishment of an oil station on the banks of the Quinnipiac river, and the opinion is held by some that such an oil station would be injurious to the oysters and clans in said river. We therefore invite all interested in this matter to meet at the office of H. c. Rowe & Co., on Thursday, March F, at 2 o'clock, to give the matter due and timely consideration:
 Henry c. Rowe, Lancraft Brothers, J. F. Bishop & Co., J. D. Thompson, L.
 S. Rowe & Co.,, l.. Mansfield X Sons, Daniel F. Granniss, r. A. Ludington. A report has been published that the Standard oil company has purchased a portion of the Townsend property in the annex, Captain George H. Town send was inquired of regarding the mat ter last evening. Captain Townsend said they would join in the opposition to having an oil station anywhere on the banks of the Quinnipiac river, deening that an oil station would be injurious to l the oyster trade and shell fish interests generally. The reported sale by them | to the oil company might have grown out of the fact that the Townsend | brothers had sold a small piece of land, | 5Ox50 feet, to Mir Burwell, who bought | it to locate an oyster shop upon it. The | lot is on the east bank of the Quinni- | piac river, very near and little south | of the ship yard owned by the Town send brothers where MT. Graves has | built many beats. The Townsend
 brothers have sold no land to the oil l company and are strongly opposed, as above stated to having an oil station where 1t might prove detriment to the l oyster industry. MT. Burwell has, it is
 reported, added to his purchase above
 mentioned, by buying small piece of
 land adjoining. The property has a water frontage and dock.

ANCIENTS HAD SENSE,
DATED BEGINNING OF YEAR FROM
 OPENING OF SPRING.

When All Things in Nature Start Afresh-
 Some other Things in Which the An-
 clients Have Given Us Points.
 The ancients began their year with the advent of spring. How much more appropriate thus to begin the New Year with the new life of nature in the awak- ening spring. At this season all proc esses throughout the natural world start afresh.
 The ancients also showed their sa- gacity and appreciation of the great changes and active processes of the spring time by realizing that this is also the time for renewed life and en- ergy in the human system. They we'll knew that the blood should be cleansed from impurities and the nerves reinvig- orated at this season. Hence the estab- llshment of the custom of taking good spring medicine.
 This most sensible and healthy cus- tom is followed by almost everybody at the, present day, few people of intelli- gence venturing to go through this try ing time of change from winter to sum- mer without taking a spring medicine.
 The unanimity on this subject is a settled fact; the only question hereto fore has been in regard to what is the

A Place Where Human Health and Happi-
 ness Are in Accord.


 Tn no part of the world has been brought into happier combination a greater variety of lovely scenery than in the glorious mountains of western North Carolina. In the very heart of these mountain regions, at an average altitude of nearly twenty-five hundred feet above the sea, nature has reserved her most charming Sanatoriun1, her Garden of the Gods" the Asheville plateau This is 'The Land of the Sky,' the spot where human health and human happiness are in sweet ac- cord, where the blue azure touches light ly the towering summfts of lofty moun- tains, where the purest crystal water gushes forth from the springs of un- tainted soil, where malaria is unknown Here, too, nature has arrayed herself in her choicest and most beautiful vest ments, and by her smiles and softest touches inspires hope in the invalid and ambition in the strong. Here, and mo- where else are to be found, in greatest perfection, ideal climatic conditions, for neither in winter nor in summer are there extremes in temperature. The trip from the north to Asheville or Hot Springs, is one not only of convenience, but of positive luxury. The Southern Railway, that superb railway system whose rails extend through all the southern states, is the direct line to these attractive resorts. You can leave New York in the afternoon, after bus mess hours, and be transported by their magnificent Southwestern Limited' to Asheville by lunch next day.

poLI's WONDERLAND rHEArER.

Bunth and Rudd drew very large au- diences both afternoon and evening yes- terday, appearing in their novel eccen- tric and burlesque magician art. They are an exceptionally clever pair of en- tertalners. When they burlesque the black art as .practiced by Hermann, Kellar and other noted conjurors, the effect is extremely ludicrous, and laugh ter is wrung from even the most serious spectator. None of the European nov cities that have preceded this one at the Wonderland have given more sat isfaction or been really more genuinely meritorious. There are many other at traotive specialties qp the bill besides contributed by such well known Amer ican stars as Sherman Ward and Made line Marshall, Horwitz and Bowers. the Weston sisters, Welch and Welch, Miss Lillian Green, Forbes and Quinn, and Eddie Shayne and Miss Mae Worden It Is a very attractive entertainment in all it's features. assuring a very pleas ant time to all who visit the Wonder land this week.

best thing to take. The people are now fast becoming unanimous in their de- cision that as a spring tonic and resto- rative, Dr. Greenes Neryura blood and nerve remedy is pre- -eminently the best.
 Year after year Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has proved it. self the surest, most positive and reli- able remedy. Made from pure, vegeta- ble medicines, it invariably cleanses, purifies and enriches the blood, making the blood rich and red, and at the same time, by it's invigorating effects, giving strength, power, vitality and energy to the nerves.
 In fact, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has proved itself the most perfect of medicines and just what everybody. needs for spring remedy. Try it this spring.
 MT. Stoughton L. Farnham, of Man. chester, N. H., says:
 Some time ago I was troubled with lassitude and a feeling of fatigue. I did not have the ambition to do anything that. demanded unusual physical exer- ton.
 @I was recommended by a friend to try Dr Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy l took two or three bot ties and am prepared to say that it did me good. I can recommend it as a tonic as know it helped me"

HOTEL ROMANCE.
How Pretty Table Girl Was Wooed and

Won.
 Pretty Mary, Killard is now Mrs. Charles A. Rich. and this is how it hap pened. About two months ago she went to the Sigourney house to wait on a table. Her sweet face, her modest ways and her neat, trim figure attracted the attention of all the boarders and at once won the heart of her present husband, who was clerk at the hotel MT. Rich at once began paying court to all this loveliness, and when Miss Killard's soft blue eyes began to tell her suitor that his love was not unwelcome, he became very happy.
 Everything went along merrily until MT. Rich observed that one of the boarders was also smitten with the fair table girls charms, and then there was trouble The green eyed monster enter ed the breast of the accepted lover and he spoke his mind rather freely to his sweetheart and his rival, and then went to the proprietor of the hotel with his tale of woe, at the same time resigning his position as clerk. The conduct of the lover did not please his divinity. wherefore she told him she should not marry him. So disturbed was he by this threat that he went down on his knees before her and begged forgive ness, and of course Mary, like a woman, relented. They then decided to get mar ried at once and leave the city. MT. Rich and Miss Killard were joined late Saturday afternoon in the Sigourney house parlor, by Rev. H. Ii. Kelsey, They left on the $50 train for Spring field to take the Boston and Albany train for the west. MT and Mrs. Rich will make their future home in Detroit, where the groom has relatives and where he has passed much of his life Hartford Courant.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

A large audience was present last night to witness the production of Darkest Russia The piece has been presented here many times, but never by better company. The plot is laid
 in the realm of the czar and deals with Russian life and character. After one of the strongest acts the whole com pany was called before the curtain.
 The piece is certainly very effective drama and does not lose interest from the opening to the closing. It is spIen- didly staged and the care given to the accuracy. of the costumes of the players is in accordance with the regular Rus sian style. Mir, Maurice Drew as the
