ENL WING CATALINA.

The announcement that has been so gladly re-
ceived throughout the country that lmportatons
have again commenced of the FL Vino Catalina
OF Browns Wine Tonic by an American Com
pany, with every facility for supplying the trade,
is matter of no small importance, and will be
hailed with joy by thousands that are seeking q
Pure and Invigorating Tonic: and also those
who need pure, pleasant and refreshing stmu-
liant, will find in the Ell Vino Catalina what they
want 1t will be remembered that importations
were made in 1866 of these noted Bilters long
celebrated for their medical qualities but in con-
sequence of the high duty then demanded by
this Government importations ceased to the re-
greet OF thousands that had learned its value. 1t
is the oldest Tonic in the World. Nature tom
ic drawn from the Catalina Grape Of the Tropics.
1t is the purest, best and most invigorating of
all tonics, and if importations continue at the
rate now started it will soon take its place in
every family in this as we'll as the Old Countries.
Its merits alone will make it household article.
And we would advise everybody that needs a
pure tonic and safe stimulant to try at least one
bottle of Ell Vino Catalina. and then decide
whether in the future they will use the tonic pre-
pared from the delicious Catalina Grape of sum
ny Spain with Caisaya and the Spies of Ceylon,
or Bitters made of common whiskey and bitter
field herbs. FL Vino Catalina is invaluable in
weakness and debility. 1t relieves morning LAM
guor and gives freshness to both mind and body.
1t sharpens the appetite and is not fol lowed by
any unpleasant reaction so common to whiskey
bitters.
1t cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Costvcness,
Bilious Derangement Collie, Cramps, Flatulence,
DiarrhGa, Dyscntery, Nausea, Morning Sickness,
Anamia, Heart Disease, Nervous lrritability,
Liver Complaints, for which it is used through
out all hot climates with great success. Diseas-
es of the Kidney and bladder, Skin Diseases, all
Eruptions, either caRsed by other diseases or by
impurity of the blood. Dependency, Rheuma-
tsm, Gout, Gravel and Whooping Cough, for
which it is famous, as Tonic in Consumption
it has no superior, as thousands believe them
selves cured by it, yet we do net claim that it
will cure Consumption, but if used freely in time
we are sure it will prevent it. 1t is so agreeable
to the stomach of the weak and delicate. Ele-
CANT for Colicky and Crying Children. Sold
everywhere by all Druggists, Grocers and Coun-
try Stores.

A New Feature I'm Life Insurance

In another column will be found an ex.
PLANTATION of q new form Of life Insurance
recently introduced by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of New York. l.
will be found to supply a want long felt
in this department of insurance.
While every man recognizes 1t as bis
duty to provide for bis family, it is not
uncommon for them, at the same time. to
seek for some benefit to themselves, thus
combining self-interest with the support
OF wife and children.
The ordinary plan of life insurance is
available only when death shall overtake
the assured; and, although endowment
policies are issued. payable during life,
yet many are deferred from accepting the
method On account of it's additional cost.
The new system alluded to entirely
meets the case, as by it the option ia given
to the ASSUMED to avail himself of the ad,
vantsges offsred, either by ordinary life,
by an endowment policy sr by q savings
bank.
And, further, he is at liberty, at the
expiration of either of these specified
terms, to accept paid-up policy for an
amount in accordance with the periods of
time he shall select on the issuing of the
original, or to keep what Insurance he
may already have, with lin the ten-year
case) bis premiums nearly covered by &C.
crued profile, and in the fifteen and TWEEN
ty-yesr instances with the premiums
fully covered, and in addition an annual
income.
By careful investigation of what is
sst forth in the explanation we refer to of
the Tontine Savings Fund Assurance, az
it is called, it will be seen that, il at the
End OF ten years the assured should desire
10 terminate the policy, be can do so by
back from the company the full
amount Of the premiums he has paid or,
n fifteen years, of fifty per cent. more
han the assurance has then cost him or.
a twenty years, Of one hundred per cent.
more.
All this can be accomplished at the or
binary life rates, and reflects much credit
IN the Society who have devoted so mush
abor and research to the science of sssur-
.noe proving of what it is capable, and.
,nder judicious management, how much
benefit can be derived from 1t.
We refer again to the Equitable Com
,sny's statement, and to the figures which
re given in connection with this new
erm Of life ASSURANCES.

Death of John H simmons ESQ.

We regret to learn of the sudden death
on Sabbath evening of John 81. Simnona,
Esq,, of Middlebury, Assistant Assessor
of internal revenue for Addison County.
He had been i'll for several weeks of ty-
phoid fever, and was supposed to be get
ting convalescent. We have not learned
the particulars OF the immediate cause of
his death.
Mr.. Simmons was we'll and favorably
known throughout the State, more par
ticu,srly from his prominent connection
with the order of Odd Fellows and the
Masonic Fraternity. In the former order
he served in vsrious positions with great
zeal and fidelity, and in 1870 was the
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge-and
to his lsbors, more perhaps than to any
other individual, was due the revival of
the order in Vermont. In August last, on
retiring from the office of Grand Master,
he was elected a representative in the
Grand Lodge of the United States, and
served in that body as a colleague with
the writer of this notice at the session of
that body held in Chicago in October
last, and took good rank from his practi-
cal business manner and good judgment
He had held several positions of trust in
the town of his residence with great fidel-
ity and acceptance.
We believe he was a native of Middle
bury and always resided there. He never
married, and leaves. we think, widowed
mother and several brothers and sisters.
He was held in great esteem by all who
knew him at home or abroad in ali the
varied relations he had sustained to So
ciety and the public.
He was true and devoted friend,
modest in demeanor, energetic and prompt
in business, charitable in spirit and be-
nevolent in action. His personal friends
and members of the frsternities and as
soeiatious to which be belonged will re-
member many kindly acts received at his
hands and will hold his memory in high
regard.

ANOTHER GIFT FROM THE RUSSIAN
PBINCE.-While visiting the numerous
attractive spots selected by the Club"
committee, the Grand Duke Alexis, is
said to have observed that even the streets
of the forensic city were not altogether
free from poverty, and, before leaving for
Canada, be placed one thousand five hun
dred dollars in the hands Of Mayor Gas
ton, with a recommendation that he would
distribute it to the deserving poor in
Boston. Taken with the fact of the hand
some donation for similar purposes in New
York, it shows that, while fully enjoying
himself on his tour, he is not upmindful
of those whose daily life is struggle for
the bare necesssries of existence, and to
whom few additional dollars will be q
peculiar assistance just at this season Of
the year.

DEATH OF MRS. SAMUEL E. BURN.
HAM.-The many friends of Samuel h.
Burnhsm will learn with sadness of the
bereavement which has fallen to him in
the death of his estimsble wife, Anna
Lawrence Hopkins, who died on Friday
afternoon, after an illness of several
months. She was widely known as an
intelligent and accomplished lady, whose
graces of life and character, had gathered
around her a wide circle of devoted
friends, not only in our own community.
but throughout the State, and the tintelli-
genee of her death will be received with
sorrow. This event, although not
unexpected, comes with crushing
weight upon the family circle, ono Of
whom is now sojourning in foreign
land. We can assure our friend that he
will have the deep sympathy of his many
friends, both at home and elsewhere, in
this hour of bis sadness and bereavement.
The funeral services of Mrs. Samuel E.
Burnham took place en- Sabbath afternoon.
After brief religious services at the resi-
dence of her father, Gen. f. W. Hopkins,
the remains were removed to the Congre-
gational church, which was filled by an
unusually large and sympathizing audi
ence.
AS the funeral cortege entered the
church, a dirge was rendered by Mr..
Mietzke, the organist, which made the
scene one of rare impressiveness. The
exercises were commenced by the chant
ing of the beautiful anthem, "Tby Will
be Done" after which appropriate selec-
tions of Scripture were read.
Rev. james Gibson johnson, pastor of
the church, delivered a touching and sp-
propriate funeral address, presenting the
religious consultations of the Bible to
those beresved, and the hopes held ont in
the Gospel of life beyond the tomb.
In front of the desk was finely
wrought evergreen eross, and other floral
offerings, emolematic of hope in risen
Savior, and of the pure and beautiful life
OF her whose existence had been cut on
in the midst of her days
At the close of the services the remains
were borne from the church by the pail
bearers, Col. w. G. Veszey, Edward L.
Temple, Henry f. Field and Henry W.
Kingsley, and were placed in the reoeiv-
ing vault in West Street Cemetery, from
h. -
green Cemetery in the spring.
The musical exercises were finely per.
formed by chosen choir, whose execution |
of the beautiful bymnsl selections made
a foroible impression upon the audience,
and added much to the solemnity.
The general arrangements of the occs-
sion were crrried forward 10 a quiet and
nnostent stious manner, under the direc-
tion of B. 81. Burt, Esq.

pected to be present. A strong and united
effort is demanded to stay the aggressive
steps of the demon Of intemperanee and
save our young men from becoming the
victims of this terrible vice that slsys its
thousands everv year, filling the land
with widows and orphans, our jails and
prisons with criminals, our poor houses
with paupers, and scattering desolation
and destruction generally in it's track
Let then the true-bearted men and wo-
men of our State come out to this annual
gathering of the friends of humanity,
law and love, and help form a public
opinion that shall drive the monster in.
temperance from within our State limits,
at least, and thus save the young and old
from its devastating influence and power.
SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.
Some little excitement was produced
last Sabbath evening by the discovery on
Seminary street of PILLOW. small COM
forter and remnant of dress covered with
blood. Suspicion of foul play is excited,
and further investigation will be made.
PERSONAL.
DIR. VIM. N. Day, of the firm of Frank
81. Bascom & Co., who had the severe
misfortune to break his leg several weeks
ago. is again out, receiving the congratu-
lations of his many friends upon his recov-
cry. The DR.. is fayorite in our commu-
nifty, and we are glad he is soon to be able
to attend to calls in his profession.
BEARS.
From the tracks observable in the
snow in Riptou, it is judged that bears
are uncommonly plenty this winter, and
the people are carefully guarding theis
cattle and sheep against their willy foe
bruin.
Mr. JONES III. Lamb, master mechanic,
residing in our village, arose from his bed
this morning early, made fire, and went
to the barn and hung himself. His body
was found suspended, but life was extinct.

AN INTERESTING OLD LADY.-Mrs.
Mary Mclaughlin lives on Green street.
Rutland. She is a smart old lady, ninety
four years of age. Notwithstanding her
extreme old age, she does all, or nearly
all, of her homework; can knit and sew,
threads the finest needle without the aid
of glasses, and can dance with all the ease
and fire of young Irish lass, if we may

FLIGHT OF SwEENY.-Peter B. Swee-
ny has left New York. His brother-in-
Jaw, ex-senator Bradley, says that Swee-
ny left Monday morning, for Lake Msho-
pae. to have repairs made in his house
there and improvements in his property.
This story is universally discredited, and
it is believed that he has fed to escape ar
rest. The general belief is that he is
equally culpable with and received an
equally large share with Tweed in the
IDgersoll and Garvey frauds. An order
of arrest for James NJ. Sweeny, brother
of Peter B., has been out over a week,
and is based on James Sweeny's TRANSACT
tions with the Nassau bank. He is now,
however, at St. GATHERINGS, Canada. The
general impression is that he was used by
his brother as q means of covering his
fraudulent transactions.
