CLOSED UP PRIVATE ROAD.
Residents of Town Plott Will Appeal
 to Board of Public Works.

Residents of Town Plott Will Appeal
 to Board of Public Works.
 There promises to be something in teresting doing at meeting of the board of public works in the near fu- ture. owing to a little quarrel which has taken place among residents of Town Plot. About fifteen years ago one or two persons cleared space in the woods about half mile from Highland avenue on Town Plot. They built several houses. During the past year the number of houses have been increased by few more. One of the entrances to this little settlement in this picturesque spot in the woods was a passageway or roadway leading from Highland avenue through the yard of the house occupied for a long time by Harvey Morris and wife. It is said to have belonged to the Chipman estate. This was the best and shortest passage to the settlement. This road has all ways been kept in fairly good repair by the residents of the little hamlet. They have always used the roadway through the Morris property, having obtained. so they claim. the right of way to use such.
 They never had any trouble in using the passage until lately. A man named Stark is said to have obtained lease of the Morris property. He posted sign forbidding trespassing on the property and later placed q fence across the roadway This caused much inconvenience to the residents of the settlement, a half mile away. They had to go on a long. roundabout and poor road to their homes Some gro- cers and meat dealers did not care to keep their trade, as the new road was too long. The residents protested. but it was of no avail. The fence still re- mains across the roadway.
 The residents finally decided to pre- pare a petition asking the board of public works to open a street through the Morris property. The petition is being circulated and is receiving ru- nerous singatures It will probably be presented to the board at its next meeting.

Gun Club Offers Reward for violatio
 of Game Laws.
 The Mattatuck Rod and Gun club will give a reward of $25 to anybody furnishing evidence that will lead to the conviction of anyone violating the game laws within the Jurisdiction of the court of Waterbury. It is hoped that this will have some effect upon fellows who make practice of killing members of the woodland choir while the birds are engaged in the business Of raising others to fill their places after their own voices shall be heard no more. During the present season q large number of robins. boholinks, blaekbirds. brown thrashers and other song birds have been shot and shared in different parts Of the town. just for sport, as a man said one evening last week as he exhibited a robin that he had shot while it was feeding its off spring in a tree in the south end of the city. There is certain amount of cussedness in this kind of work that begets a strong spirit of resentment in the breast of most men, so that people who couldn't be induced to complain about other things feel like coming for ward and asking that the offenders be punished. Let us spare the song birds. They afford vast amount of pleasure to large number of people.

BooTBLACK WAS EXCITED.
Customer Tipped Over His Chair and
 There Was Trouble.

Customer Tipped Over His Chair and
 There Was Trouble.
 Bullets" is the name by which very corpulent Italian bootblack, pro. genitor of several smaller Italian boot blacks, on North square. is known. Things were rushing with Bullets yes terday afternoon and one young man who appeared to be in a great hurry to get "shined' came near realizing his wish in manner he did not expect He jumped onto Bullets's chair with such haste that he lost his balance and fell backward, chair and all For mo- ment he was not aware of what had happened. his collapse was so abrupt He thought 1t was Bullets's leg polk ing him in the left eye, whereas 1t was another leg with not quite so much life in It. It was the right leg of the broken chair. The other leg was under his arm in the manner of a crutch, timely hint of what he might need for a week or two.
 Bullets was too exasperated to help the man up. That was done by others. Bullets demanded compensation on the spot, and the man claimed damages for shock. Bullets could not understand much English, and the would -have-been customer did not know a word of Ital- ian. Neither did any of the by-stand- CTS except the juvenile Bullets. War clouds arose on the horizon of North square. Bullets picked up limb of what had been the top deck of his ship of state and raised it threateningly over his excellent. Then he seemed to have changed his mind and he ran like mad up and down the square. After a great deal of excitement the juvenile Bullets explained the situation to their earthly author and in few moments the excitement passed away. with Bull lets exclaiming as well as some people could understand him. No Chair, no chair" but there were others who claimed he said three chairs.

ern people have understood it from the
first. The comforting OF the right OF
suffrage on the negro was never intend
ed by the fathers Of the Fifteenth Am
endment, as a means OF elevating the
colOred man. No such idea possessed
the minds or influenced the motives Of
its originators at all The sole purpose
was TO punish the "rebels, f" and insures
the election to office OF lot OF scala
wags and carpetbagers. The Southern
people saw through this scheme, which
the Northern politicians attempted to
conceal under the guise Of patriotism
and great interest i'm the colored race.
Now, let this be acknowledged, and
there will be an end OF this nefarious
business OF injustice and absolute cruel
ty to the colored race The negro has
been pulled and hauled around by the
politicians too long. Let them alone,
and by the help OF the Southern people
their only real friends, they will work
out their own salvation.

Deafness cannot be cured.

BY local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
tlamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely enclosed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; mine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
all infamed condition of the mucus SER
vices.

The Truth By Degrees.
The Philadelphia Record says:

The Philadelphia Record says:
"Nr. John S. Wise, OF New York. a
former Democratic Representative
from Virginia, and now Republican.
because, he says, there is no difference
in degree in the evil tendencies OF the
two parties, admits with Secretary
Root, that negro suffrage has proved a
failure. But in the views OF both Sec
rotary Root and the Virginian is re-
vealed more of partisan bitterness
than political philosophy. If, as they
assert, the failure Of negro. suffrage in
the South is due to the unjust enact
ment and race prejudice of Southern
whites, the experiment is hardly less a
failure in the North. In the Republi.
can city of Philadelphia, for example
the suffrage has bestowed little or no
political or social advantage on the
large number Of negro voters"
Gradually the truth OF this whole
business is coming to light The South.

The Florida Excursion.

The parties here who were so for
tunate as to go on the Virginia Press
Excursion to Florida, have all return
ed safely, and are loud in praise Of the
pleasure of the trip from start to
finish.
The courtesy and attention shown
the party in Richmond by the Times
Dispatch, lin which office, it is thought,
this excursion idea Originated,) was
marked indeed, and highly appreciat-
ed 10y the editors and their fair COM
panions.
The Seaboard Air Line extended
every courtesy. and spared no pains to
render the trip a pleasant one. The
ladies were highly pleased with the
accommodations afforded by the splen-
did Pullman cars which run over this
great road. The cars themselves were
the most elegant and comfortable the
travellers had seen before.
There were no delays on the way, no
boisterousness, in fact nothing to mari,
but everything to heighten the pleas
ure, OF this memorable trip.
To say that the entire trip was
greatly enjoyed, is to be put it mildly.
The citizens of Florida, We'd with each
other in honoring the visitors, and
every city visited, if it were known that
the excursionists Were coming, extend
every attention. At Lake City splcn-
did banquet was given, and speeches
made, free excursions arranged. and
the beautiful little city thrown open to
the visitors. While here a telegram
was received from the Governor, ex-
tending an invitation to the party to
visit the Capitol Of the State. The party
visited Jacksonsville, Tampa. Lake
City, St.Augustine, and other parts of
the state. In some Of these cities the arri-
val Of the excursionists was not herald
ed in advance, but after their arrival
every body did all they could to make
the visit pleasant.
This first visit to the Land Of Flow
ers, the sights and scenes, the new
acquaintance formed, the pleasant
people met with and all, will be remem
bered and appreciated for years,
Along with the great Seaboard All
Line, our own Norfolk and Western
