North Cornwall.

Two weeks ago our Reading Circle met at Mrs. Eliza Rogers and was reorganized for the winter. The following officers were appointed: President, Noah Rogers: Vice President, Chas. W. Hart; Commit tee of Arrangements, Niles Scoville, Rus sell P. Foster, Walter D. Smith and Miss l.. s. Merwin; Committee on Music, Miss Rosa Hart. and Niles Scoville; Committee on Amusements, Mrs. Kate Sedgwick, Mrs. c. E. Baldwin, Miss Gertie Wickwire, and Miss Hattie Pratt. Last Friday eve ming we met at MT. R. R. Pratt's. There were about ninety people present There seems to be determination on the part of the Committees to make these social literary meetings more instructive, bene- fcial and entertaining than those of any preceding year-as, indeed, proiting by experience, we should improve. During the winter we hope to have some good public readings and lectures. MT. and Mrs. Gold have promised to give us,. oc- casionally, descriptions and incidents of their late travels. aa1}l
 We have been without minister for several months, and the people are getting very irregular in their attendance upon church. There is felt want of some i'm mediate decided action in this matter, on the part of the entire community. Old Cornwall used to have some pride and ambition about these things, and to put forth some determined effort too. If things moved hard they worked the hard CT. Some of us think we might see old times revived if we would manifest the like earnest spirit. vsaT .v.ss.s:%a

The Cuban Massacres.

The recent massacre by the Cuban au- thorities of the prisoners taken by one of their cruisers from the flibustering steam CT Virginius arouses just indignation in every American heart. We are apt to side with other peoples insurrectionists in all cases, and the idea of shooting whole ships crew, as we'll as the insur- gent officers they were trying to land, ex- asperates American feeling against the Spanish government to such degree as will make it no very easy matter for our administration to keep the peace.
 The illegality of the action of the Span iards consists in the first place 1n their 1 searching an American ship on the high seas at all in this time of general peace. Had the Cuban insurgents been granted the rights of belligerency, or had the Vir- ginius been seized running proclaimed blockade, the right of search might per- haps have been claimed on their part As 1t is, the ship must be restored, and all the American citizens in it, and ample reparation made for the injury sustained by the seizure. If any American citizens have been murdered, reparation must be made for that, too. For the slaughtered Cubans, we may not be able to claim the same reparation that we can demand for the American citizens, although even in this case, being temporarily under the protection of our flag, the Spanish cruiser is guilty of much the same offence as if it had seized them in the port of New York, and then departed with them to Cuba for massacre.
 We believe that Castelar, or the Madrid government will make all the reparation they can, but their power over the Cuban volunteers is very slight, and it is possi- ble they can do but little there; but over the officer of the vessel that made the seizure, they ought to have full power and should mete out severe punish ment. ar
 One thing we hope our government and the public will not forget, that it is not at all the fault of the home government that this outrage has happen ed. With their hands full already; fight ing Carlists on the one hand, and Intran- sigentes on the other; with the despot- isms of Europe locking coldly on the new republic Castelar, and his cabinet are try ing so hard to establish; we ought not to put stone in their way unnecessarily. The greatest of modern republics must deal as kindly as the terrible exigency ad- mits with the youngest and weakest of her sisters. a@f Fl

Buchan's Carbolic Soap, which, in add ltion to the anti-septic and anti-contag lous properties, is sure cure f Tetter, Eryslpelas, Rlngworm, Salt Rheum, Itch, Biotches and Plmples, and every other species of diseases of the skin with which the human body may be afflicted. Diff ferent varities of these soaps for laundry, toilet, dentSl, shaving, medicinal, and dis infecting opposes.
 PERUVIAN SYRUP-This valuable medi- cine has been silently making its way into public favor by numerous remarkable cures it has performed. Its singlar efic- acy IS owing to the protoxide iron which Ill this preparation remains unchanged, and IS the only form in which this vital element of healthy blood can be supplied.
 Pn1PLEs, ERUPT1oNs, RoUeH SK1N.--Tho system being put under the influence Of Dr. Pierco's Golden Medical Discovery for few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft, and velvety. and being illumi mated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all it's glory. Nothing ever presented to the pnblic as beautifer of the complexion ever gave such satisfaction for this pur- pose as this Discovery. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions yellow spots, come dones, or grubs," a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where the system IS rotten with scrofulous or viru- lent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula is, with the use of this most potent agent, only a mat ter of time. Sold by all druggists.
 Extract from letter from Mrs. J. c. Aldrich, Wauseon, Fulton Co.,, o. "R. r. Hall <. Co.,, Gentlemen,-Pleases send me one dozen bottles of your Sicilian Hair Remover. Our bald and gray do not want to be ont. My mother is living re- commendation of the results from the use of the Remover. Being almost seventy years old, and having worn wig over thirty years, 1t seems miracle to those who have known her so long so bald, and what little hair she had being perfectly white; now her wig thrown aside, her hair grown out, and q smooth glossy brown as in girlhood. Hoping you may ! long continue to pour blessings on the heads of the afflicted, I remain, yours truly,
 Such evidence, with the indorsement of the great chemists of New England, Dr. 4. A. Hayes, and $. Dana Hayes, should satisfy any one, which of preparations produce the best results.

SAFE, SURE AND CHEAP.-We have no apology to offer for calling the attention of our readers to the importance of Life Insurance. It is duty that man owes to these dependent upon him to secure a support for them, and that duty extends beyond life, if it be possible to accomplish it while in life. Life Insurance does this By the payment annually of Q small sum so small as not to be felt--a certain support is guaranteed to the survivors, ! It combines the best feature of Saving Banks and Cooperation. It is essential, however, that policies
 be only taken in good, sound companies. 1 There are mauy of them, and among the best ranks the United States of New York. | This company has cash assests of nearly four millions of dollars, and surplus, above all liabilities, of nearly one million.
 The company could stop business to- morrow and pay every policyholder the ful value of his policy,
 We commend this company especially to the readers of the ENQUIRER because 1t
 is fe-Insurance Company and noth- ing else. It Is not speculating, stock
 dealing concern, but it's business is Life Insurance. Its funds are safely and se- curely invested, it has the means to pay it's losses, and they are paid promptly, without delay or quibble. Another pecnliary of the United States (and it is pity that it IS peculiarity) is its iberality to it's policy holders. It prom ises no more than it intends to perform, and what it promises it does at once and quickly. No mere technicality is per mited to stand in the way of the pay ment of loss; the company makes it it's first business to discharge it duty at the earliest possible moment, exactly when it's benefcence IS most needed. No con- pany in the world has so fair record in this respect.
 The Directors of the company are among the soundest and best men in the country. Among them are John J. Cisco, banker, 59 Wall Street Wilson G.. Hunt, Commissioner of Public Docks; Clinton Gilbert. Treasurer Greenwich Savings Bank; Washington R. Vermiye, banker; Shepherd Knapp, President Mechanics Bank; Wm. M. Halstead, merchant-an of New York; Ex- Governor J. R. Hawley, Hartford, Conn; Harvey Jewell, Boston, and others equally well-known. It's Presi- dent, John B. De Witt, Esq, is known as one of the most conscientious business men of that city, as we'll as one of the best. A man of broad views, of untiring energy, of quick decision and unerring judgment, he has put the UNITED STATES in the front rank of the really great com panies of the country. @ &
