DON'T NURSE THE WICKED PASSION OF
 JEALOUSY.
 We advise our esteemed neighbor, The Danbury News, not to get red-headed over the Newtown fair. The Bridgeport and other outside papers seem to be do- ing their best to arouse the jealousy of the people of the Hating town, by in- eendiary articles. The managers of the Newtown fair, 30 far as we know, have no idea of ''doing up'' the Danbury fair. Newtown will have far and & good one, simon-pure agricultural exhibition minus certain features which have in past years disgraeed the Danbury show, We expect, if eonservatively managed (and there is every reason to believe it will bel the Newtown fair will be humming success. Instead of nursing the wicked passion of jealousy in their breasts the Danbury people should fall in line and spend day on the hills of Newtown, taking in an enjoyable fair.

DEATH OF JEDEDTAH HAWLEY.
 Jedediah Hawley, one of the oldest of our citizens, died on Saturday, aged 92 years. He belonged to a family closely identified with the history of Bedding for more than 150 years and with him ends long line of men and women who have in themselves and their descendants done much to make church and society what they are today. Mir Hawley was in his early manhood engaged in busi- ness in New York City. He married for his second wife, Miss Lydia Hill, daughter of Moses Hill, who died some years ago. Retiring from business he returned to his native town. After. wards he removed to Greenfield and thence to Birmingham. Subsequently l he removed again to Bedding. He was a member of the Congregational church for more than 74 years, 8 large portion of which time he held the office of deacon. Though for many years through the in- firmities of age unable to attend church his interest in religion never Jagged, but up to the last moment oi his life it was his delight to talk about the bright hopes of the future. Though not rich man he has left to his children something more valuable than & great estate, the example of a holy life. Three children survive him, Miss Esther, a daughter by his first wife, and Joseph and Mary, the children Of his second. The funeral service took place aJ his l late residence on Tuesday afternoon. Rev W, T. Hill of New Haven, friend and relative of the family, had charge and was assisted by Rev B. c. Pillsbury and Rev W. 4. Swan. Mir Hill made the address and spoke feelingly of the aged saint whom he has known for many years, The burial was in the Ridge Cemetery by the side of his second wife. The pail bearers were J. L. San l ford, J. $. Sanford, Stephen Sanford, W. H. Burr, II. s. Osborne and E. r. Shaw.
 The presence of summer boarders in large numbers makes things quite lively, and helps fill up our churches on Sun days
