6MpLE REMEDY FOR BuRSss-Nothing
on the tace of the earth equals cool water
as remedy for burns. No application
with which wc are acquainted gives such
immediate relief. The burned portion of
the body should be soaked for number
Of hours 10 the fluid. We have known
persons whose hands have been severely
burned, to place them in basin of water
ct the side of the bed. and go to sleep, al
lowing the hands to remain therein all
night. In the morning they were entirely
cured. Our experience with other agents
as turpentine, oils and poultices, have
always been unsatisfactory remedies
only serving to increase the pain.

We are informed that the pupils of the
NJ. E. Church Sunday School in Dublin
will give aiconcert in that village on Satur-
day evening, February 29tb, when they

will meet a generous response from the
people of Washington and the neighboring
townships. If it continues to be as pleas

Death of Hon. Thaddeus Ste
n Ht8 tf4, VenS. r..t..
Tho Cincinnati Commercial &C
companied it's notice Of the death
Of this distinguished Radical poll
tician and undoubted patriot with
the following brief sketch Of the
deceased Statesman:
Mr. Stevens was born in Gale,
donia county, Vermont, on the 4th
Of April 1893, and had, therefore,
completed his seventy fifth year
something moro than four months
ago. He graduated at Dartmouth
College 10 1914, and removed Ia
Pennsylvania the same year
There ho studied law, and two
years latcr was admitted to the
bar. The people Of Adams county
elected him TO tho Legislature in
1888, and he served continuously
for four years. In l84l hewat
again elected butrcmoved to Ian
castor tho following year, and that
city has been bis home. Ills Con
gressional life began in l848, when
he was elected to the Thirty frat
Or ngrcss. He was re elected in
1850, bnt did not again hold seal
until 1858. In that year he was
again chosen, and has represented
his district In oyory Congress
since. His strong and oarros,
convictions always maintained
with great ability, zeal and clio
qucnce. gavo him an almost un
limited influence in the House dur,
ing the exciting period Of the war
and since then though often taking
positions for which his party was
not entirely prepared, he succeed
cd in controlling the action Of Con
gress in o larger degree than any
other of its membors. His death
will be mourned by many of hil
countrymen as a national calamity
