E < sk& ETss 5 Your correspondent, like all true van kees., came home for Thanksgiving. He twas pleased to find that the intersts of Judea had suffered no detrimeht for lack of itemizers. In fact there seems to be a large growth in this line. We1f1 people like to see the ENQUIRER. We found it in Park Street church study, It looked like seeing friend from home. In Meriden, Mansfield of the Recorder said he always read the ENoURER. It !, was one of the hest. county papers he knew of.
 Ne left Boston the Tuesday after the fire. At Worcester, Horace Greeley came aboard and took seat near us, and made several inquiries concerning the fire, and remarked upon the luxurious modes of travel in the palace of to-day. and the ld-fashioned stage coaches of thirty years ago He seemed very cheer full and social, and it, was remarked by all present that he bore his defeat like a philosopher., We were greatly surprised to hear of. his death so ssoons We wish here to pay tribute to his memory. It was in the ''Old Log Cabin" paper, that: we first made. his. acquaintance, The Tribune, starting soon after, opened up to us the possibilities which lie before all youth in this country He inspired us to effort and aspiration along the line of mental and moral power. We thank God for Horace Greeley. He was human, and we like him better foro it. The world is not yet ready for angels. He will receive the reward due from the American peo- pie for his untiring5 industry as journal ist, unswerving integrity in battling for Temperance and Human Freedom. For these shall he receive lasting honors. ~ His mistakes injured himself the most: The. weakness of age, played upon by design ing ones, will be judged with leniency.; Peace to his memoryl .q..., ..,..-.,-
 We found Meriden, after six years absence, in full tide of prosperity. The Hon. o. H.

The horse disease is giving back, and the streets began to look lively when we left Meriden is a wide awake, go ahead place. .~..o..- We would like to call attention to Arthur Bonnicastle inScribner's Monthly. Does any one recognize Hillsboro? Has | any one ever climbed the hill from the Turnpike Bridge and met team of gray
 horses, the driver carrying rife with

 would it go off and hurt anybody? If Dr. Holland sends his hero here to school
 he may occasionally come back on avisit- to Reunion, say. The opening charac- I ters promise readable serial: If the

 - The corporation of Goshen Academy held meeting last week, and filled part of the vacancies in the Board of Trustees by the choice of Joseph Wooster, Edward Norton, Charles J. Porter and Moses W. Gray. Our fathers obtained from the Legislature in 1927, 8 very good Charter, which provides that the corporation shall choose their Secretary and the Principal of the Academy (who are members of the Board of Trustees), and not less than six nor more than ten other Trustees, who are members of the corporation as soon as they are chosen Trustees; and the body cannot become extinct by the death or re- moval of the original corporators, as the Trustees can keep their number full; in fact they are now the corporation, as only one of the original owners is known to be living in the State: MT. H. N. Lyman, of New Haven. There are two others living, Rev. Dr. Harvey of Michigan, and Mrs. Eliza Pinneo of New Jersey.

 POISONED TO DEATH.-A healthy liver secretes each day about two and half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of nOxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when 1t IS receiving and retaining each day two and half pounds of poison?' l Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.; but these organs become overtaxed in performing this labor, in ad- dition to their natural functions. and can not long withstand the pressure, but be- come variously diseased
 The brain, which is the great electrical centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform it's office healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy fore bodings and irritability of temper, The, blood itse!f being diseased, as it forms the, sweat upon the surface of the skin, is SO irritating and poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches. and other eruption, sores, boils, carbun- cles and scrofulous tumors. Tbe stomach, bowels, and other organs spoken of, can not escape becoming, affected, sooner or later, and costiyeness, piles, dropsy, dys, pepsia, diarrhoea, female weakness, and many other forms of chronic disease, are among the necessary results. As rem edy for all these various manifestations 1oovery ssas is p poses fs uhesnaed Ge@s1 BS the liver and stomach are changed to an active, healthy state, the appetite regulat- ed and restored, the blood and secretions thoroughly purified and enriched, and the whole system renovated and built up anew.
