A TWISTED SYNDICATE.

Will Organize a Fish and Game Clup
 The Winsted Citizen says: To own a fish and game preserve seems to be the popular thing Just now. Last year a syndicate of New York and Brooklyn capitalists bought up a large tract in the towns of Colebrook and Hartland, Conn.,, and Holland Mass, and organ ized the Holland Fish and Game club. Only few months ago @ Wall street, New York, syndicate purchased about 1,500 acres of land in the town of Tol- land, Mass, situated two miles above the Holland club, acquiring the control of Norris pond with the idea of estab- fishing large fish and game preserve.
 The latest move along this line is a syndicate of Winsted gentlemen who are negotiating for the purchase of sev- eral farms in the town of Hartland, Conn.,, which will give them the control of what is known as West Hartland pond, small lake about one half a mile long and having an area of some sixty acres in the northwest part of the town of Hartland.
 The syndicate, when the organization is completed, will number fifteen mem- bers and have capital stock of $1,500.
 A meeting of those interested, among whom are D. B. Gaylord, w. H. Will Hams, L. w. Tiffany, Dr. s. G. How'd, William H. Phelps, P. l.. Barker, Ralph Holmes, H. J. Pierre, Dudley Vaill, George Dudley and Arthur Owen, was held in the rooms of the Winchester club at 112 Main street, Thursday even- ing, preliminary to organization.
 Warham H. Williams and Engineer Percy E. Barber were appointed com- mittee to look up titles, and F. B. Gay lord and Ralph Holmes a committee to draw up bylaws.
 It is the purpose of the club to stock the lake with fish and the land sur rounding with game. The farms in- volved are known as the Cooke, Gillette and Thaddeus Osborne places.
 The syndicate will eventually prob ably erect a neat little club house on the property which will be their head quarters when they go over for a days or weeks outing.

AFTER, MANY YEARS.

An old subscriber of the Courier re-
 quests the publication of the following article, which appeared in this paper about thirty years ago:
 'Dr. Parker, of London, publishes the following sketch of Dr. Bacon: "Dr. Leonard Bacon is the Nestor of Congre- gationalism in New England He, too, is man of remarkable keenness and penetration. He is well known through out the states as controversialist of rare requirement and skill knowing and putting everything in it's most telling as- pect. Dr. Bacon is just the man who would be in danger of mistaking the state paper office for New Haven. He has an amazing penchant for old papers, for monumental records and for celestial antiquities Probably the history of England, especially in it's church as- poets. is as familiar to Dr. Bacon as his own name. Woe betide the unhappy wight who makes a mistake in his dates or other facts in an ecclesiastical con- troversy with the redoubtable doctor! He has left mark upon the Congrega- tionalism of his own country which will be increasingly appreciated by students and pastors. From what I have read of the productions of Dr. Bacon I should characterize him as one of the most keen, farsighted and trenchant writers either in America or this country; an unsparing critic, a judcious counsellor and an honest man."

Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions which adhere to the membrane and de- compose, causing far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of ca tarrh. Avoid all dry inhalants and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents, large for 50 cents. All druggists keep it. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren street, New York.
