Death of Fanny Rood.

Miss Fanny M. Rood died at the residence of her mother, Mrs Lyman Dunning, at East Canaan on Monday evening, aged 43 years. Mrs Dunning's s first husband was the late Mariner Rood. and Fanny was their only child. Fanny was remarkably bright and beautiful girl. She grew up to be an estimable young lady and united with the Congregational Church at East Ga naan. When about 22 or 23 years of age her mind became unbalanced, the result of long and critical illness. and it became necessary to remove her to the asylum at MIddletown where she remained 20 years or until just one week before her death. For the past year or more she had gradually failed with lung trouble, but an attack of measles about three months ago hasten ed her decease. Recently her mind became clear and it was her desire, as we'll as the desire of her mother, that her last days on earth be spent at home, consequently Fanny was brought home by her mother, on Monday of last week Until just before coming home 1t was not expected that she would depart this life so quickly. Fanny realized that she had reached home and that hel last wishes had been gratifed. She seemed overjoyed to greet her old friends once more, and then she patient ly and calmly awaited the summons t, the better land.
 Unlimited sympathy is expressed fol Mrs Dunning who has been twice be reaved within 8 short time.
 The funeral will be held this (Thurs day) afternoon at 2 o'clock, at Mir | Dunning's residence. Burial at Hill side cemetery.

Deafne.. Can,s be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inf1amed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

TWO GAM ES.

East Canaan pulled out of big hole in the ninth inning last Thursday and took the lead in the ball game, but Ca- naan had out it's rd-hitting team and they batted out the winning run with only one man out. It was no credit to Canaan fielding that the game was won but rather to the fact that the people from East Canaan field worse than we do. The error column on the Canaan score bulged out so in the ninth inning that the scorer didn't dare put the errors all in and he dropped some in the grass. The score:
 Innings 9 3 f 5 6 g Canaan % Q 10 Q a-is
 Umpire-A. Brinton.
 Amuch better game was played here Saturday, the Southfields keeping the Canaans very interested up to the eighth inning, but just then the pitcher got tired, the Canaan hitters began to pound, and the Southfield fielders be- gan to err and the game was thereafter in the hands of our boys. To any one understanding a tabulated score the story appears below. The umpiring was highly satisfactory to the specta- tors and it matters not whether it suit ed indiyidual playera.
