Tozier Valve Patented.

Word has been received from the L
5. Patent Office that patent has been
granted to the Tozier Valve Mfg. Co.
of this town on the valve and feed-water
regulator invented by Charles c. ToAier.
The letters will issue in the name OF the
corporation, and will protect the valve
In substantially all of the uses for which
application for patent was made.
Mr.. Toziers invention consists
primarily Of balance-valve, to be used
In all places where such device may be
required. The most meritorious feature
of the invention is the perfect balance
claimed for the valve under all condi-
tions. Its use with the feed-water regu-
lator, to control the supply of water for
steam boilers, is an important feature OF
the patent. The gentlemen who have
interested themselves In the invention
are confident that In efficiency of opera
ton and simplicity of design 1t surpasses
any valve now on the market.
No definite steps relative to the manu-
facture or sale Of the valve have yet
been taken.

Death from Diphtheria,

Lila Bllodeau, aged eleven, youngest
daughter of George Bilodeau, died, Non
day, of diphtheria, after an illness of less
than three days. The child was at
school as usual, Friday. Friday night
she was taken ILL., and Cd Saturday a
physician was summoned. The disease
was pronounced diphthera. The board
of health were notified, and health off.
Ger W. s. Stinchf1eld at once proceeded
to establish strict quarantine on the
house, as we'll as on two or three other
houses whose inmates 1t was feared had
been exposed. AS further precaution,
all the grades in the Garfield School
building were closed until the danger is
over, as 1t is impossible to tell how
widely the contagion may have spread.
No further cases have developed, and
1t Is hoped the disease will be checked
without further trouble.
