It is easier to be wise for others
than for ourselves.
1t costs more to revenge injuries

The best throw with the dice is to

It's a foolish sheep that makes the

Despair has ruined some, but pre-.

The sickness of the body may

The best method of instruction is

' he English House sold.


 The Gov. English house at 592 Chape street was sold yesterday through Charles H. Webb and George w. Smith the real estate dealers. The purchaser was Henry Levy of the firm of D. Levy & Son, pawnbrokers and clothiers at 13I State street The lot is 50 by 292 feet and the house is of three stories, with brick and succeed walls.
 The property was at first held at $32, 900, but it is understood it was sold for less than that amount. It is the house where the late ex-Governor English lived for many years and where he died He spent a great deal of money in beau tifying the residence, and it is under stood that $32, ,000 does not represent the actual outlay.
 The ceilings of all the rooms are fres- coed and on the lower floor the walls are covered with silk draperies. Hard woods are extensively used in the fin ishings. and the doors are of the same material The interior is very fine throughout. Mrs. English, the widow of Governor English, moved out of the house last May, and ever since the prop erty has been idle The property was purchased for Mrs. Dora Levy, who will move there in the spring.
 Henry Levy purchased the property for his mother for birthday gift, hel anniversary occurring on New Years day, but the transfer could not be ar ranged at that time.

Perri Bound over.

Meriden, Jan. 9.-Michael Perri. an Italian storekeeper on Springdale ave nue, was bound over to the superior court in $500 bonds to-day by Judge Platt on a charge of soliciting parties to set fire to his store.
 Ferris first attempt al arson was the placing of small lighted candles close to an open box of matches that it light ed when it burned low. It was expect ed that the fire would communicate to a gross of matches and they would set the place on fire The blaze was dis covered before the large box was ignit- ed
 Later he rearranged the matches and other candles and told his wife to light the candle while he was in New York on an alleged business trip. She did not do as he desired, but notified the police,i and Perri's arrest is the result.

EPIDEMrC SPREADING.
Though stablemen Are Taking Precautions
 to Prevent the Contagion.

Bridgeport Jan, 9-Four more horses
 have died at Cooks livery stable since yesterday, and seven others are sick.
 This makes a total of twenty-one horses
 that have died since Sunday night, The
 last four that have died are all owned ! by MT. Cook. There are twelve horses
 now at the stables and seven of these
 no doubt will die in a short time. There were forty horses in the stables
 when the disease broke out and only | five are left that have not been afflicted as the others were. The eight well
 horses that were removed from the
 barn yesterday are now also down with
 the disease and they are not expected l to live.
 ! The state veterinarian, who was tele-
 graphed yesterday to come to this city and make an investigation of the epi- 1 denic, has not yet arrived, but is ex- pected here this evening, The four
 horses that have died since yesterday
 were taken to Plumb & Winton's estab- | lishment for disposal. The doctors are unable to stay the progress of the dis eSbSe, dllu every HOTSe lHele WITCH IL broke out will probably die.
 The spread of the epidemic has alarm- l ed all horse owners and it is feared now that grave mistake was made when
 Mir Wilmot took his horse from Cooks
 to the West End stables. It is pretty freely and pretty loudly said that a quarantine should have been placed on MT Cooks place when the disease first appeared there.
 Dr. Hoyt of the board of health said | it was the imperative duty of the Hu-
 mane society to have placed quaran-
 tine about the Cook stables last Mon day and thus prevent the spread of the disease. They should do it now E. A. Godfrey who owns the West End sta bles has closed his establishment and vii not take boarder, but he cannot prevent horlse owners from taking their
 animals out of his barn if they so in- sist. There is the danger. If g. quar- antine was now placed about it the disease could be kept within bounds. The doctor said he had horses in the stables and was in danger with the others, but he would not take his ami mals out of the barn till the danger was over.
 T know" continued the doctor, that the books say spinal meningitis is not
 contagious, but my experience is that it is. Dr. Prophet, who knows a good deal about horses, says that it is con tagious. The way the epidemic is spreading in this city looks as if it was
 very much epidemic
 Careful inquiry was made last even ing among the stablemen of this city
 as to the health of their horses. The result of the investigation is to the ef-
 feet that the stock was in healthy condition.

 ceived here this noon that the crew of the west end local freight train on the P. R. and N. F. R. R. running between this place and NIaybrook, N Y. the western terminus of the road, had mar row escapes from death at that place early this morning. The men, four in number have a coach fitted up for sleeping purposes, with hunks on each side and a stove in one end. A rousing fire was built last night in the stove to keep out the cold, and the men went to sleep. At 3 o'clock they were awaken ed by the smell of smoke, which filed the car. Flames were spreading all around them, and escape was ali but cut off. They finally succeeded in leav- ing the car in their night clothes, all four being badly burned
 Brakeman Michael Mcclure was se- riously burned, and it is feared will not recover. George Blake of this place. John Keenan and Samuel Drum, the other occupants of the car, were badly injured but will recover Four freight cars standing on either sides of the coach were also burned.

May Go to Japan.

Milford, Jan. 9.--N. A. Baldwin & O. have sent to Japan Nicholas Pond, who is looking up 8 suitable place for the firm to locate their straw plating works. For several years the firm has sought to compete with the cheap labor of Japan, but has been unable to 8 great extent. They have decided, therefore, to remove to that country and nanu- fracture there, where labor is so much cheaper, exporting their goods to the United States rather than to import the raw material here The industry will probably be removed soon after MT. Ponds return to this country.

Worth Reading.

Do you put proper value on the
blessings of life? Have you good
eye sight? Do you know what it is
worth to you? If you don't, here is
something that may cause you to
stop and think: Mr.. Charles Broad

fact, everything he is possessed of,
to be cured Of coming blindness.
Now, if eyesight is worth IS, 900, 900
to him, eyesight is worth few dol
lars to the people of Washington
county. If you are healthy man
or woman, you are weather. by far
than the diseased multi millionaire.
Do you realize this? Not one in fifty
thousand does With such a mine
of wealth at your disposal, have a
care how you abuse yourself. If in
your search after the So called wealth
of this world you pore over the mid
night oil and lose your eyesight, sup
pose you amass riches, what have
you gained? We have often thought
that Pulitzer, the millionaire proprie-
tor of the New York World, who is
now cropping in the blacklist of dark
ness because of blindness, would
gladly exchange his wealth and high
position at the head of that great
daily for The Sun office and the eye
sight of its editor, even though that
eyesight is not the very best. We
sometimes envy the lazy man who
works not, neither does he worry.
He lives to enjoy every passing mo-
ment. If he be blessed with sound
physical organism he will never lose

between laziness and overweening
ambition where you can attain the
greatest real happiness. To enable

their eyesight, and to aid those with
