The nine lectures given before the las-es take up anatomy and physio logy, At the close of the last lecture nominations, both written and oral, •ill be given, and all those who pass these examinations will be given a di ftama, signed by the President, Clara Norton, and which signiiies that its P®*s«or is competent to render lirst •W to the injured in any emergency. —There is a large body of the citizens k "iliimantic are not satisfied with peir city form of government, prefer tins to return to the borough form "•fe n my. It is to be brought up pi disc issb.m in the Business Men’s “oeia’.Umol that city at an early day. “filch a question should l>e brought PM a meeting of the Putnam Bu-i Mens Association, it would call 01 a Urge attendance, as many of our have never been satisfied w ith city form of government. We be t's such a discussion would prove of natgood in clearing away inisappre eoslon» and in correcting whatever ^managements that are pointed out. ®asit seem- Putnam has made great 'ances under its city organization, has a better repute as a city than had as a town. But no form can give **7! aatisfaction, to every one. But know the worst and the best by «mssion, so that the minds of all be Ktied. -Ky recent act of the Massachu f*thslature, all towns and cities °'tr lo,uou inhabitants are obliged **ub;ish and equip a public play ed for children.

Delegates iwere in attendance from various places in Winham county. We learn from the Chairman of the Republican Town ommittee, Mr. Archie MacDonald, why the Republi cans of this town have had no public rally meeting this campaign as in all former years. The answer was plain and simple: “We could get no speaker. Every Republican speaker of promi nence has been drafted to go to some of the doubtful States, where they are needed. As indham county is as solidly Republican as the Rock of Gib raltar, the able shakers were not need ed here, and every Republican will gladly acquiesce in their deprivation. Mr. Macdonald felt somewhat moru tied, after making strenuous effort* to get a good >i«eaker and failing- H* wouldn't accept a “spellbinder to ad I dress such an inteliigent class of peo ple as would attend a Republican Ka. 1 v.and he and the other members of his committee decided to have no Republi can rally this year. The Chairman arid hi» fellow members deserve tbe than of their party for the wise course they adopted. Mr-. Hannah Briggs. of Dudley, is the guest of Mrs. Kllen K. Johnson, of Grove street. Mr-.

Asa Handled, died on Tues day of last week, the funeral being I held on Friday. —Manager \V. C. Klebart, of the itradley Theatre has made arrange ments to announce ithe election re turns every Id minutes, Tuesday even ing during the regular performance. Returns will be received from all parts of the country. On account of this s|>ecial feature there will be a conti nuous performance election idght, from 17 lo 11 o'clock Sky Kami has been Invoked to play at the Itradley Theatre, Thursday, November 12. Frank St. Sauvler, aged 50, who came to I’ulnam recently from Daniel son, has been missing from his home for al>out a week, causing tils wife great distress, lie has been subject to |ve riods of insanity. A searching party found him at the Brooklyn jail, where he announced that he had tveen sent there for two years to await trinl at live Superior court. Fits condition was re cognized and he w as detained until his ease was set tier), as he lias no legal re sidence in Putnam, it i-- claimed that KilUngly should care for him. We urge ev ery Republican elector to do all he ean to svvtll the vole for Stale's Attorney Charles F Scarls, can didate fm State Senator from this dis trict, and not assume he will easily lie elected. But he should have the laigc-t possible vote to express public gratification that lie has consented to accept the nomination. Itis friends arc in hopes that llie State Senatorsliip will be but a step to lead to something higher in time. Itis (versonal claims should appeal to independents and Democrats for their support. Besides his fitness for important political office because of itis natural abilities, train ing and experience In public attairs, lie is a gentleman of dignity and rettne menl, affable to a degree that makes him esteemed ivy people of high and low degree alike. —A Putnam High School Debating Club was formed Monday, with the following members: Raymond Kenne day, Alvin Martin, Lloyd Cole, How ard Knight, and Lindley Cain. That is a good idea, as every boy—and girl, fortliat matter—should learn toexpress j himself in public speaking as readily and fluently as in private conversation, i I p to severity years ago, amt perhaps later, in almost every New England v illage the main winter evening enter- j tainmenls were spelling bees, singing j schools the latter now-a-days traves- j tied and debating exercises among the scholars, often including some amusing personating of queer charac ters. The ladies had quilling bees. To gether these lilled uptheir need of pub lic entertainments. There weie no card parties in those days. If there were card-playing it was done on the sly, and if found out, the players were regarded as on the downward road. Interesting LoctJl The iWth anniversary end fall open ing of The Byron D. Bugbee Corpora tion which wax held on Friday and Saturday of last week proved a grand success in every respect, and showed u§ that the people of Putnam and vicinity recognize and appreciate our methods of conducting our business, ax well as the exceptional values offered in seasonable merchandise dol ing this sale. We wish to thank our patrons and friends for flowers sent us, and for the generous expression of good feeling extended during our anni ver sary. Very truly yours, The Byron l) Bugbee Corporation.

He asked for an adjournment to November nth, w hich was granted ujron his giving a bond of $76. Frank King, 10 years oldpof Lyon street, a little boy who failed to be good after an opportunity had been given him lo reform, was committed to the State Industrial School for Hoys, at Meriden on Monday. Master King stole money at home and did other bad things, although he had a goad record at school, which fact saved him from being sent to Meriden (Jet. 16, when he waa before the court Ion setting (Ires and taking money. —Fine harvest dinner and supper will be nerved on Tuesday, Nov. 3, elec tion day, by the Ladies' Aid, of the Baptist church, In the Assembly room.

He had been earning a dollar and a ipinrler a day. I asked him If he wanted to work for me for Ids board If 1 would teach him slashing and llnlslilug. He replied,‘I think I would lie willing hi pay my own taiaril.' We llnlshcd silk In Wlllluinntic till we moved to I’utnnui In June, R*7H. The three characlerlsllca of John Rady that appealed to me were, his willing ness to work till a task was llnlahed, Ids absolute loyally and truthfulness. You know, friends, as a rule we with hold complin eols niter due date, and In most ruses they go by default. I Just wish to any of John Rudy, that while be was in my employ for twenty year* I never saw him cross, as we use tint term—never heard him utter a profane word. Mr. Rudy comes under the class of self-made men. Remember him as the boy who came here In June, IH7H—Just thirty years ago.

About *‘*o building* were burned, and a number of town*, including Newcas tie, (Jhatham ami Douglastown, were destroyed. hie hundred aiut sixty per sons |ierlshed, and nearly a thousand head of stock. rTho loss from the Ml ramicht tire is estimated at *;kH>,uoo— not including the value of the timber. In the majority of such forest tires as tills the destruction of the timber is a more serious loss, by far, than that of the cattle and buildings, for it carries will* it the lm|>overlshment of a whole region for tens or even hundreds of years afterwards. The loss of the I stum page value of the timber at the time of the lire is but a small port of the damage to the neighborhood. The wages that would have Issmi earned in lumbering, added to the value ot the produce that would have l>ecn purehas I ,-d to supply the lumber o imps, and tiie taxes that would have been devo ted to loads and other public improve ments, furnish a much truer measure of how much, sooner or later, it costs a region w hen its forests are destroyed by j tire. The I’ehstigo lire of October, 1871 ,was still more severe than the Mlramtelii. 11 covered an area of more than It,two j square miles in Wisconsin, ami Involv j .si a loss in Umber and other property, of millions of dollars.

A strip about 40 rnllea wide and about I mi miles long, extending across the central part of the State, from l.ake Michigan to l.ake Huron, was devas tated The estimated loss in timber was stsiut four billion feet board meas ure, and in money over 410,000,000. Se veral hundred persons perished. in the early part of September, 1881, great llres covered more than 1,800 square miles in various parts of Midi- j igan. The estimated loss, in property, in addition to many hundred thousand sort's ot valuable timber, was more than 42,,too,tWO. Over 6,000 persons i were made destitute, and the number of lives lost is variously estimated at j from 150 to 500. The most destructive tires of more recent years was that which started j near W nick ley, Minnesota, September j i, tso-i. While the area burned over i was less than In some other great tires, the loss of life and property was very heavy. Hinckley and six other towns were destroyed, 500 lives were Moat, more than 2,000 were left destitute, and the estimated loss in properly of vari ous kinds was 426,000,000.

The introduction of nine recently or dained ministers was an interesting feature of the afternoon session. A glad welcome w as extended to them by the President. The Treasurer reported a deficit of >8,000, caused by the campaign to raise money to restore these funds. Report ing for the Restoration Fund, he slated that about K>-,000 had been received on account of that fund, which has l>een invested in good securities. This, with the Kunice Wood Fund, received last year, will constitute a jiermanent fund of nearly $100,000—the income each year to be applied tc the current expenses of the convention. The con vention has never had as large an en dowment as it has today, and the out look, he said, is, that within a few years the endowment w ill lie ?l.i0,0U0 —something which Connecticut Bap tists little dreamed of three years ago. On the second day, Tuesday, the ses sions were similar to those on the day previous. On Wednesday the Convention ex pressed its desire to become affiliated with the Northern Baptist Convention and took steps to be thus united. Committees to report next year were appointed. Rev. J. R.

Townaand, M.l)., Secreta ry of Stale Board of Health, in his monthly report for September, gives this condensed report of the Tubercu iosis t 'ongress recently held in the city of Washington: The International Congress on Tu- berculosis was a most remarkable gath ering and ail those in attendance must have felt well repaid for the trip to Washington. The exhibition was mar- I velous and showed the work being done all over the world in the crusade aeainst tuberculosis by public and private as sociations in the way of sanatoria and hvwpitals for the treatment of this dis ease. and its pres cm ion by improv ing tenement house and factory conditions aiul providing playgrountlsfor ihechil dren. The Connecticut exhibit, w hile small compared with some of the other .-tiaie exhibit*, showed in concise form what we are doing here. Of the Connecticut exhibitors, Mr. Gunshannon, of Hanford, received a medal ami honorable mention for his exhibit of a plan for self-help among workingmen. The Gaylord Farm .Sa natorium received a medal for its ex hibits of devices for home treatment after leaving the Sanitorium. The sessions of the 'ongross were made up of seven sections, which met daily at the same hour, and general sessions were held on the first and last days. The sectional meetings covered the various phases of the subject, in cluding bacteriology, clinical study, social and economic aspects, tubercu losis in animals, etc. The results of the deliberations of the ('ongress, em Ijodied in the resolutions passed at the closing session, were, that the atten tion of State and central governments be called to the importance of proper laws for the notification of tuberculo sis; that the most important source of the disease is the conveyance from man to man of ttie tuberculosis infection: that tile |s)ssibility of tlie propagation of bovine tuberculesis to man lie recog nized: the establishment of hospitals for tiie treatment of advanced eases was urged as well as sanatoria, dispen saries, and day and night camps for tile curable eases. Such legislation was endorsed as would provide for the re gulation of factories and workshop, the abolition of premature and inju rious labor of women and children and the obtaining of sanitary dwellings so as to increase the resisting power of the community to tuberculosis and other diseases. Word has just been received that the entire exhibit of the Gongress will be at once moved to New York, where it will be o|ien for public inspection for a period of six weeks. Minister Wn's Wooing.

"I never talked to my wife," said he “until l married her. I>id I ever see her? I don’t know. When I was en gaged I w as obstinate. Before the mat ter was finally settled I asked my par ents to let me have a peek at the girl. “Oh, no," they said, “You know the custom." But 1 said, ‘Can’t I see her on the sly? She might be blind, might be \ery tall or very short,or a cripple.’ After several days it was arranged for me to go to a certain house. 1 went, and for several hours sat at a window, when, Anally, I saw three young ladies pass by.
