both as a preventive and cure for many of the
diseases to which those organs are subject. 1t is
a reliable Family Medicine, and can be taken by

Mr.. EDIToR.-I notice in the last issue
of your paper that a gentleman signing
himself Chas. B. Tilden has volunteered
his services in defence of Mr.. Geo. Ham
monds mode of doing business. As the
gentleman states the he cannot say what
induced me to make so mistaken an asser-
ton as that Mr.. Hammond forfeited his
word, and that I cannot be acquitted, Of
having hastily made an assertion without
sufficient foundation, think that a
statement of the facts Of the case By one
,oLo Lnocs, will not be amiss. On the
goth of Oct. last, Mr. Hammond bargain
ed with me (after some previous talk for
my farm without any promise whatever,
not mentioning the name Of Mr.. Clark, or
any other gentleman, except to state that
he purchased for friend, and that friend
could not be here to take a deed in
side Of 60 or at least 80 days After
making arrangements as to payments, he
proposed | accepted, he agreeing to meet
me at my house the next day, with the
bonds for my Mothers and my own sig
nature. He did not come, but dropped
me line stating he was called out Of town
that day, but would attend to the matter
in day or two. |, supposing that Mr..
Hammond's word was as good as his bond,
proceeded to dispose of my property pre-
paratory to leaving the country, to the
amount of several hundred dollars. Thus
making my sale public. In the meantime
hearing of Mr.. Hammond's assuring his
friends that he had bought the place, and
should draw up the papers as soon
as he could get time, thus assuring me as
| thought that it was real sale instead
of sham. Matters went on after this
fashion for fifteen days when meeting Mr.
Hammond at the Addison House i accer-
tanned from him that he did not propose
to take the place at all. atterward,
discovered Mr.. Hammond had known foI
eight day, that the friend for whom he
purchased the farm had decided not to
take it, lie leaving me to pursue my
sales as might be without any word o.
warning. | think that comment is un
necessary, Mr.. Chas. b. Tilden to the
contrary.
think that Mr.. Tilden must have pos
scured unusual sources of information
when he states that Mrs. Dennison was
not altogether willing to part with hel

To describe the weather here for the
past three days would need but three
rain-hail-snow. We are be-
ginning to have real winter weather, and
the chances for an Indian Summer seem
fast slipping away. Most of the students
have left town to pass Thanksgiving at
home, and those that remain are nearly
all from such n distance as to be unable
to do so. The mountains around here are
scarcely visible on account Of the snow
which descends thick and fast. As VIII
Jamestown is not generally known it may
be well to describe its whereabouts. 1t
is in the northwestern corner of Massa-
chusetts, being but four miles from Ver-
mont State and five from New York. 1t
is the site of Williams College, which was
founded here in 1898. The town is beau
tifully situated among the mountains, and
in the summer is one Of the pleasantest
places in New England. The drives a.
round here are very fine and afford views
of the mountains which are really grand,
To the north about sixteen miles is Ben
nington, VI; eastward five miles is North
Adams, and twenty miles to the south is
Pittsfeld, Mass. The latter place is a
great resort for the students, and they are
always sure of pleasant stopping place
in the Burbank House. Williamstown
has but one le1de avenue which extends
the length of the town, and upon which
are the college buildings and most of the
dwelling houses. The Kappa Alpha, Sig
ma Phi, and A. ID. Phi Societies have
houses which they occupy exclusively,
and the Delta Psi Society is now erecting
a building which promises to be very fine
Professor Phillips has been obliged to
leave the Mathematical Professorship on
account of troubles with his eyes, very
much to the regret of the students, who
hope that he will be able to resume il

time at the request of nearly all the stu
dents, but on account of the sickness Of
one of the members it had to be postpon-

A few Sabbaths since the Presiding
Elder of the Burlington District preached
in an adjacent town and in Middlebury
Village in the evening. On his way to
Middlebury he heard screaming and
tumultuous noise ahead of him and soon
discovered two young men approaching
him. They had a bottle of liquor
were swinging it in the air, and made the
atmosphere blue with their profanity. As
they passed him they saluted him in the
following language How are you, you
old fellow ?" The writer has no means
of knowing who they were, from whence
they came, or whittier they were going,
but their idiot gaze, unsteady gait, their
flushed countenance, red and fiery eyes,
and their profane and obscene language,
like the baneful effluvia arising from the
Bahan Upas, polluted the very air they
breathed-were all a sure indication that
they came direct from grog-shop and
were on the broad road that leads to sin,
infamy and disgrace. They appeared, in
a measure, to have lost the use of their
limbs, but had the entire control of their
unruly members. In the phrase of the
Apostle their tongues were set on fire
of hell" There is nothing impossible
they may not yet be so stripped of shame,
destitute of principle, SO degraded and
sunk so low in the scale of human exist
ence, but what they may yet be reformed
and hold a respectable standing in society,
and such an event wonld be hailed by
their friends as though they had arisen
from the dead but in all human proba-
bility, regardless of consequences, they
will urge their way onward in their down.
ward coursc-pressing forward in their
wild, frantic and mad career, until they
stagger into the drunkard's grave, or the
prison demands its victims.
Has it come to that in this civilized
and enlightened community? Cannot a
clergyman of high standing be permitted
to fulfill his appointments on the Sabbath
without being insulted in the street and
his feelings wounded by desperadoes?
Let the civil authority and the whole
community arouse from their slumbers,
be on the alert and endeavor TO rescue all
such infatuated voyagers who are sailing
down the current of time in such frail
barge, liable to be stranded at any mo-
ment, who are nearing the rapids, but arc
so absorbed and delighted by the song, the
dance and the whirl Of the machinery
that they are unaware of their danger,
heed not the roaring cataract just below
Let those on the shore who have never
taken passage on such bark, propelled
by steam po,rer, shout to them "to re.
verse their machinery, to put forth al.
most superhuman strength, to awake from
their maddening dream before the mass
Of waters and resistless current shall
draw them to the vortex Of destruction
