High Grade and Low Price
 Inconsistent.

Some people say there is sentiment in busi- ness but we do not believe it; there is too much strife and struggle continually going on in the endeavor to accumulate wealth, to permit any great amount of sentiment to creep into busi- ness especially where it affects ones pocket. When some one tells you that he will sell you the best paint on earth at low price, there must be something wrong. It probably costs more per gallon to produce H. W. Johns Liquid Paint than any paint made in the country, for the req Son that nothing but the very highest grade raw material are used and the paint receives one more grinding than any other brand known. This must, and does make the paint finer, insur- ing greater covering capacity, fneness of tone, strength af color and greatly increasing it's dura- bility This extra labor and expense is not sen- simenta1, it is done to make good paint, and explains why the H. w. Jo1us' Paints bear such excellent reputation. Address H. W. Johns Mfg Co.,, William Street, New York, for complete Color Card and Pamphlet " Exterior Decoration
 H. W. Johns Paints are carried in stock by Philo Nichols, Newtown, Conn.,, who will be pleasedto give any desired information.

OUR LATEST CYCLONE.
DOES GREAT DAMAGE IN SOUTH CENTER.

DOES GREAT DAMAGE IN SOUTH CENTER.
 If matters grow much worse along the cy- clone line Connecticut will soon have repu- tation equal to Iowa. The tornado which visited South Center district on Sunday night was twister and no mistake. At Horace Northrop's it took up gate and post and car ried them 100 feet. On E. l.. Johnsons prop erty the damage was most severe. His barn near John P Egans was unroofed and he also had 59 apple trees blown down and uprooted Thomas Maloney had two acres of corn already cut up which was carried away by the tornado. At the edge of the woods the path of the storm could be plainly seen. MT Egan says he had 50 barrels of apples blown off. The storm missed another good friend David Bacon, by about half d mile. He is an old46wa resident and has had some experi- ence with storms of this kind. He does not grumble. however, over the fact that this 'twister'' passed him by.

TRINITY CHURCH.
BRAVE AND TRUE WORDS.

In the course of an able sermon at Trinity church, Sunday morning, Rev Mir Linsley made this timely reference to local affairs:
 We look out upon the political world in our time and we find much to dishearten us. We find too often the greatest interest of our citi zens managed by the worst elements among us, so that politics is the synonym of unscrup- ulousness. We think there is a glorious op- portunity for some great reformer to arise and purify our body polite and restore the old days of public honor and civic pride He could do some great thing and accomplish wonders. Undoubtedly he could. But meanwhile that does not mean that we must do nothing. The remedy here if anywhere lies in the little things, so-called that may be done by the or dinary citizen If the people of New York City really want good and honest government they can have it. If the people of Newtown really want the towns affairs wisely and right ly managed they may have their way. And they can do it in the ordinary way of exercis- ing unselish interest in our affairs and serv- ing the town in unselfish devotion and casting an honest ballot and an independent vote at the appointed time.
 The hope for the nation, the state, the city, the town is not only in the sudden appearance of an A. Lincoln, or George Washington, or a great benefactor or reformer, but also and es- pecially in the ennobled lives of all the peo- pie. If the nation as whole cannot thus be made over let Connecticut be made over; if New York City can not thus :be made better
 let Newtown be made better At any rate let l your own home be thus reformed and your own life be one unit among many contributing l to the great result.
 It is not the magnificent achievements of the
 gifted few that will reform the world but the | patient faithfulness of the one-talented many
 And with the Church the best hope is not ir
 the Bishop alone but in him and his body o1
 faithful clergy, and with the parish not witt
 the priest standing alone but with the many
 faithful helpers in their several spheres, anc
 with the town not with one good man in higf
 authority but in the faithful, loyal, honorable l citizens.

Great excitement prevailed on Day ton avenue in Sandy Hook, last Tues day, by the queer antlcs of pet dog near tree in the garden of resident. On examination it proved that the dog had treed red adder and as no men were around the excitement among the tenants ran high and all turned out to assist the dog, armed with axes, pitcbforks, clubs, coal scuttles, tongs, mop-sticks, and brcoms. One woman, more valiant than the rest, attacked the reptile, and after climbing up into a chair, succeeded in killing it with a club, and her neighbor triumphantly carried it off with a pitchfork, follow ed by the rest in procession. The length of the snake was estimated by the crowd at from three to nj ne feet in length. An unprcjudiced observer, who did not show up until all danger was passed, says he should Judge the | largest snake of the kind he ever saw, it being fully three feet in length.
