Growing in Favor.

When an article has been on the market fo1 thirty years and has continually grown in favo, with the public it is safe to assume that it has merit. This is true in the case of H. W. Johns Liquid Paints. The demand for them has be come we'll nigh world wide-the resnlt of the excellent qualities of the paint Consumers who have used them have become convinced of their superior covering capacity and consequent econ- orny Carefully made by latest improved mech anical methods of high grade pigments. and pure Linseed Oil, they are the perfection of prepared paint. and it is not surprising that they have become generally recognized as the " Standard Paints for Structural Purposes" Owing to tho greater durability of H. W. Johns Liquid Paints as compared with ordinary grades less frequent application is required, thus effecting a saving that is appreciated by the man who pays the bills. Intending purchasers of paint will fint it to their interest to write H. W. Johns Mfg Co.,, 100 William Street. H' " York, giving description of buildings to Ter tied, and secure from them suggestions as to col {, ,eatment, ill order to in sure the use of har,nonizing shades.

The manual of summer resorts on
 the New York and New Haven road has just been issued and is very neat and attractive pamphlet of 50 pages.
 It may be obtained on application to General Passenger Agent Hemstead at New Haven, by enclosing a 20 stamp for postage. The pamphlet is not a guide book in a general sense, nor is it a time table. It is different and
 peculiar. It supplies the facts which persons who travel, and particularly persons seeking a place of summer recreation, desire to ascertain about the living accommodations and their cost throughout Southern New Eng land, region interpene etrated in every part by the lines of this great railroad and steamboat system. The informa- tion given is freshly collected and is as complete and trustworthy as it can be made by diligent attention and in- quiry. In the matter of prices the regular tariff of the proprietors of hotels and boarding houses is given. No doubt these, in many cases, are subject to modification by special agreement according to the greater or less requirements made. It is unneces- sary to boast of the unrivalled service of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Go. $ system. Those who have in former years been dependent upon it are aware of it's excellent management for both safety and convenience.

State Highway Commissioner Mac
 Donald was in town on Friday last, ar
 irving on the train reaching Newtown
 at 1O.34 a. m., and leaving at p. m. With First Selectman Levi c. Morris
 he went over the road between the
 Street and the depot. The first ob-
 jectiOnable feature that met his eye
 was the steep rise, just before the Street is reached. He told the genial
 mayor that this objectionable hill re-
 minded him of an ugly wart on man s nose. It was also on exhibition. His
 plans for improving the road are to cut the hill down to level grade from top to bottom, and carting the dirt and gravel on to the road on the flat. The doing away with the steep grade will be matter for general congratu- lation and felicitation, especially to those who have heavy teaming. The surveying for the improvements has been done, this week, by Daniel G. Beers. Later, bids will be advertised for by the selectmen, and the successful bid must be approved by Commission CT Mac Donald. It is probable work will not be begun before July l or later.
