One of the most notable successes in
local dramatic events was the four act
drama, "The Heart of Hero" pre-
sented at the Town hall, last week
Thursday evening. There was large
audience present, the seats down stairs,
as we'll as those in the gallery, being
nearly all taken. The drama was pre-
sented with commendable spirit, and
the audience proved sympathetic,
warmly applauding the good points
made. The widower, "Cyrus Bodkin, :"
kept the audience in commissions of
laughter. This character was imper-
sonated by the versatile Arthur l.
Platt, who evidently has marked tai
ent in dramatics. "Caroline West
over" waxed eloquent in her defense of
'Seth Marrow" the hero, and the
pathos with which "Salina" plead for
her lover nearly brought the audience
to tears "Poor EN-" was in every
bodys' way but was success in her
acting and everyone felt sorry that she
should be left alone at the close of the
play. H. S. Mason, as 'Seth NARROW, "
did particularly well, carrying his part
with zest. s. J. Botsford, who does
we'll wherever he is placed, carried the
difficult part Of colbert .Westover"
with appropriate dignity. Mrs f. H.
Mitchell as "Salina," Miss Mary E..
Blackman as "Tillie Sloan," Miss
Julia Dikeman as Caroline West
over" J. b. Nichols as "Arnold
Payne" H. A. Clark as the office boy
and John ]. Northrop as the villain,
all deserve word of praise. The
vocal solo and the selection rendered
by Miss Ella Hickok of Bethel were
enjoyed and appreciated by all, her
selections being true to life. Miss Ag-
mes Platt is so we'll and favorably
known that we need scarcely say that
her recitations were greatly enjoyed.
The total receipts were $73. The ex-
penses were $18, leaving the handsome
sum of $55 to be divided between Poo
tatuck Grange and the Library, S27.5
for each. This pleasing result is 9
matter for congratulation and those
who worked SO hard to produce the re
suit deserve the thanks of the public

favor of G. N. Clark's Vegetable Liver
Pills. They consider them the safest
and best remedy for regulating the

advise any one troubled with bilious

a trial as they certainly have wonder
full reputation for curing bilious and

APPLE BLOOM UP TO AVERAGE.
The apple bloom is fully up to the
average. 1t is full enough to insure a
good apple crop with favorable weather
at the time of pollination or fertiliz-
ing. 1t is now we'll recognized fact
that this is the critical period, by fruit
growers, for all of our fruit both cul-
tivated and uncultivated. A long
cold rain with high wind makes
pollination very uncertain, in other
words a bad year for that variety
which was in full bloom at the unfor-
tunate time. Cherries and peaches
have had favorable weather and we
would naturally look for good set Of
fruit.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

Quite little excitement was cansed
by runaway team on the Junction
road last Tuesday. It seems Mr.
Hatch of New Fairfield had purchased
new horse and wishing to give it a
trial, harnessed it with his other horse
and started for Brookfeld Center. At
the watering trough near the Junction
he stopped for them to drink and the
new horse became inpatient, the
check catching around the pole. Mr.
Hatch thought to stop them by turn
ing in circle, and bags, wagon-box
and wheels were scattered all the wav
to the Center. The team was stopped
near Dea Somers' one of the men en-
plOyed on the road hooking his hoe
through the harness on one side and
Will Pinckney catching the bride of
the other. Mr. Hatch, who of course
was thrown out, escaped unhurt. The
horses were badly bruised.

Tim Murphy.

"A Bachelors Romance" which MT. Tim Murphy is to present at the Jefferson The atre next Friday is a sweet, pretty, idyllic play, delightfully."- refreshing. MT. Murphy is being put forward by MT. Fred Berger, who is also Sol Smith Russell's manager, as the latter's successor, and he certainly pos- sesses many of the physical characteristics, the angular figure and the quiet dry humor of that popular idol. Mir. Murphy. has never seen Sol Smith Russell in the part of David Holmes, but a great deal of interest is at tached to his assumption of the role, by the way of comparison. Says the Detroit Jour nal:
 "The temptation to compare the work of MT. Murphy in the leading role with that of Mir. Russell is very strong. There is, however, no occasion for comparison, and if one were made, MT. Murphy would not suffer. His David Holmes stands forth as clear-cut independent creation"
