tance of Barnum 4 Bailey's Circus will
place extra trains In service and offer
special low rates, including admission to

female Gowns. There are so horses
trained to perform almost increditablc
feats. the whole number appear ing in one
ring at one tim9, besides "a elephants,
which occupy three rings, eight in each
one at the same moment in the double
menagerie tent is one of the most de-
lightful entertainments ever dreamed of,
consisting of whole lot of curious East
Indian native girl and boy dancers, tami-
characteristic exhibitions of their home
life and occupations. 70 faithfully por-

pons, utensils, implements, musical in
struments and the many huts and houses
of the natives are used and the whole ex-
hibition, which is called Oriental India,

is larger this year than ever, contains
more meritorlous attractions than were
ever before presented. requires more
cars to transport it than any other show

A Sorry Looking Set.

Five of our prominent citizens went
out to Jamaica pond yesterday after
noon to spend the evening in fishing
for bull pouts. They came creeping
in this morning bringing in 43 pouts
from l l-2 to 3 inches long, and as
sorry looking set as one often sees.
Judging from their appearance this
morning it will take more than one
dose of the doctors pills besides a
volume of Chitty's special pleadings,
6 bottles of Smiths rheumatic cure,
10 yards of cotton cloth and week $
profits of the livery stable to set them
on their pins again and fit them for
the fourth. Next time, boys, don't
go.
1t is again getting very dry and un-
less rain falls soon all vegetation will
suffer aud that severely. Farmers
are beginning haying. The crop will
be light but better than last year.

Last summer one of our grand chill
dren was sick with severe bowel troub-

then we tried Caamberlains Collie, Chol-

very speedy relief. We regard it as the
be.t medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints. Il. G. Gregory,
Frederiekstown, Mo. This certainly is
the oest medicine ever put on the mar

Deacon E. F. Rugg received q
telegram Monday announcing the
death of his Oldest brother, Rev. W.
H. Rugg of Perkinsville.
The deceased was u native of Lon
dondcrry and was the oldest of five
children born to the late w. w.
and Rachel Dodge Rugg. Before
completing his common school studies
he developed penchant for the acss
QUESTION of knowledge and some of
the difficulties that faced him, in
those days, could not be better illus
trated than by relating the following
incident: While going to school in
his home district he carried into the
school an algebra. This created al
district commotion and resulted in
the calling of special meeting, the
petition setting forth the object of
the meeting ''to see if the destrik
would erlow unlauful studdys taut in
school, The school meeting was
largely attended and resulted iu a
vote allowing the algebra to remain
but it is safe to say that the teacher
gave it no TINA in regular school
hours. He attended the first select
school taught in town. The Walker
district having the honor. Later he
attended Leland and Gray seminary
at rownshend, there fitting for col
lege, graduating at Madison Univer-
sity at Hamilton, N. Y. For sever
al terms he was assistant teacher and
afterwards principal of Leland and
Gray seminary. He united with the
Baptist church in this town Aug.
26, 1855. His first settlement as
pastor was with the Baptist church
at Salisbury, where he remained
quite time. He then settled in Per-
kinsvile as pastor and remained so
until obliged to give up pastoral work
on account of poor health. For sew
eral years past he has been town
clerk of Weathersfeld performing
the duties of the office with remarka-
Bile fidelity and accuracy. He leaves
beside the widow, who was Fanny
Webster of Wallingford, teacher
at Townshend and other academies,
three sons, the oldest having just
graduated at Brown University the
secoHd OH his last year at the same
institution and the younger fitting at
Saxtons River.
Funeral services were held at the
church in Perkinsville, Tuesday af
ternoon and was largely attended by
citizens of eathersfeld and adjoin-
ing towns. Rev. Hopkinson of Per-
kinsville assisted by Reverends Owen
of Ludlow, Murray of Cavendisb
and Chapman of No. Springfield Of
ficiated.
The one misfortune of the deceas-
ed was lack Of physical ability to
sustain the mental strain developed
by his his higher faculties, This
drew heavily upon his health, at times
rendered him desponding, and final
ly eliminated in his death.
