Last year several onions were LETT in the
ground unwittingly. They sprang up in April,
producing fine potato-onions very early. We
are now saving onion-seed from roots which
lived over the winter. potato was planted on
a rose-root, to keep in the sap; it fourished

fresh potatoes were found in the ground, and
they are growing now.
Lettuce and spinach are hardy, and the early
frosts will not iniure them.

What sleep viii Cure.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for feed. Not that it is more i'm.
portant but it is harder 70 get.
The best rest comes from sound sleep. Of
two men or women, otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the best will be the most moral.
healthy and efficient
Sleep will do much to cure irritability of
temper peeyishncss, unea,ness. 1t will cure
insanity. II Will restore 70 yigor an over
worked brain. L will do much to cure dys-
pepsia, particularly that variety known as
nervous dyspepsia. 1t viii relieve the languor
and prostratIon ielt b. consumptives. 1t will
cure hypochoudgia. 1t viii cure the blues. 1t
will cure the heartachc. II will cure the head
ache. 1t will cure neuralgia. 1t will cure
broken spirit. Il viii cure sorrow Indeed,
we might make "A long list OF nervous maa-
dies that sleep will cure.
The cure OF 'leepcssness, however. is not
easy, particularly in those who carry response
bilities. The habit of sleeping well is one
which, If broken up for any length of time, is
not easily Tcgained. Often severe Illness
treated by powerful drugs, so deranges the
nervous system that sleep is sweet after it. Or,
perhaps, long-continued watchfulnes. pro-
duces the same effect; or hard study, or too
little exercise Of the muscular system or tea
and whiskey, and tobacco using. To break
up the habit are required;
/. A clean, good bed.
,. Sufficient exercise to produce weariness
and pleasant occupation.
3. Good air, and not too warm Il ROOM
4. Freedom from too much care
8. 4 clean stomach.
6. A clear conscience.
Z. Avoidance OF stimulants and narcotics.
For those who are over-worked. haggard,
nervous, who pass sleepless nights, who pass
sleepless nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as shall secure sleep, otherwise
life will be short, and what there is of it sadly

DEAR AMERICAN Our town meet
ing passed of quietly and quickly yes
terday.
R. G. W. Dodge filed the Office Of
Moderator to the satisfaction Of all,
and we had the most orderly meeting
for many years. The business was
done with despatch and We adjourned
in season for dinner AZ the usual hour.
The Selectmen, Clerk, Collector,
Treasurer, and S. S. Committee were
reelected and are as follows
Jos. T. Hinckley,

S. H. Wood. S. S. Committee.
All are men who understand their
their duties and may they faithfully
perform them.
Owing to the failure of the school at
the Academy, there has been an earn.
est desire for good teacher to take
charge Of Select School.
The right person is now in the right
place. Miss Ella Slower returns TO her
home after years constant employ
ment, and enters upon her labors here
in o private school Of about 80 schol-
as. and think the number will soon
reach 40.
Miss SIS last school was at North
Sedgwick. She entered this school last
winter after male teacher was com.
PEELED to leave, and her services we're
SO satisfactory that she was engaged
for this winter. Miss Slower is one of
our best teachers. She wins tie affec-
tons and the respect of her pupils.
without which no teacher can have .
perfectly successful school.

lecture by Rev. G. F. Clark, subject.
