is true. Where the parts are not gone its effects
are marvellous. 1t has produced more cures of
rheumatism, neuralgia, palsy lockjaw, sprains,

ritant, an all-heating pain-reliever. Cripples
throw away their crutches, the lame walk, poi
sonous bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without a scar. 1t is no
humbug. The recipe is published around each

Nr. Editor Upon reading the ''per- sonal" item in your last issue, thus public ly announcing my whereabouts and the reasons therefor, my first ifeeling was ono akin to indignation; but when consider ed how stiff your fingers must be in clip ping witty paragraphs from your exchang- es, how weary and overwrought your brain must be in manufacturing other paragraphs more witty still, and how mercilessly your devils were yelling for more copy, my wrath turned to pity, and concluded to comply with your urgent request and give you description of Columbia Springs and the magic effect of their sulphurous waters.
 About a mile back from the Hudson nestling among the hills, with few acres of forest primevar' surrounding it is situ- ated the Columbia Springs House, large roomy building. capable, with it's adjoining cottages, of accommodating about one hun dred guests. The grassy knoll on which it stands commands fine view of the storied Catskill range, with the huge Mountain House towering up in their midst like some old castle. At the base of this knoll, with in easy hailing distance of each other, the springs, three in number. are located, all of approved medical virtues land all strongly impregnated with sulphur, yet differing in other ingredients. The one which receives the greatest patronage is aptly called the Fountain of Health, rivaling the magical powers ascribed to that fount in the fabled land of Fl Dorado, which the Spanish ad- venturers of old searched for so long and fruitlessly. ..
 From time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, these springs have had great local reputation. the Wa ters being regarded as a specific in many diseases. And tradition says that decades ago, when the noble CD red man stalkeo through these regions, monarch of all he surveyed these springs were often re- sorted to by him for their curative proper ties and were considered as under the pro- tection of some beniticent spirit, and thith- CT the squaws of the Mohawk braves were often wont to bring their dusky progeny to be immersed in tho magical waters. But it is only within few years that these springs have acquired any other than To-

 Early in the winter George Hughes started singing class, composed of tue young girls and boys of this place. The boys, with one exception, soon tired of the labor and discipline and left off attending. The girls and Matthew Howard kept on, andIthr0Tgh the effolts of MT. Hughes have acquired course of instruction of which they may justly feel proud. On Wednes- day evening, April 2d, they gave a concert which was we'll attended and highly appre- ciated. We were unable to attend but are assured hy those who were present that it was the best thing of the kind they ever listened to. Each and every scholar seem- ed to understand their part to perfection. Tue selections were admirably chosen and beautifully rendered. Mir. Hughes is justly entitled to much praise tor his arduous la bOrs and we are sure that his efforts are highly appreciated. The scholars are also entitled to much credit for their attention to his instruction, by which they have learned much that is both useful and beau tiful.....M. A.

precipitous side-hill to Senator John K. Shepard's and obtaining for kim nights lodging; and finally fixing him the best sleeping place possible 10 be made on the car seats. May blessings rest on his head for his whole-souled kindness. Every other passenger was patient, cheerful and quiet. Each one contrived to double him self up or stretch himself out on some lying or roasting place, and enjoyed such sleep as an easy conscience and peaceful nature alone can secure, More than an hour passed, :with no other noise but the distant clicking of the stone-dril Then came an explosion, removing portion of the rock, for removing which from the track the locomotive was substituted for an OK team. Then the drilling began for n second blast. Another fifteen-inoh hole was drilled in another hourand a half Another blast removed the remaining obstruction. But by this time tue quicksand had for a consider able distance covered the track to depth of three or more feet. The trackmen worked with will at shcveling out this gravel broth, SO that in another hour the train crunched and jolted through the remaining mud and reached Winsted at i've o'clock on Thursday morning with out further detention. Much praise is due to the road-master and his gang of hands for their vigilance in discovering the dan ger and their prompt and efficient efforts in surmounting an obstacle. which under ordinary railroad direction would have in terrupted the traffic of the road for at least a day. The passengers have abundant reason tor thankfulness that in having a cheerful and obliglng conductor and not having among their number single grum- bier or boisterous swearer there was SO lit tie to disturb their serenity.

Cornwall Brid c.

Cornwall Bridge has big fish story to relate, which is as follows: As MT. Franklin Wells was walking along the road few rods above this village he notic. ed quite commotion in the river, and al. most the next instant two pickerel jumped upon the bank, one of them some six feet from the lwater and the other less dis tance. He sprang for this last mentioned but did not succeed in capturing it, but the smallest one was so far from water that be bore it away in triumph. The pickerel weighed two and one half pounds. ....As the stage was coming down the hill from Ellsworth it ran into washout, throwing from the wagon lady going to Falls Vil lage, bruising her so badly that she was not able to continue the journey further than this village..... Drowns has become 6isgusted with Cornwall Bridge and it's in- habitants, so much SO in fact that he tried to get away under cover of night, but a kind friend, not thinking it advisable when there is such bad going, read to him little document which induced him to wait till morning and pay some little bills that were unsettled. We all wish him success, as he says that at the place he has gone there has been but two sick in more than year.

cal fame. About the year '55 c. B. Nash, the present proprietor, conceived the idea of building commodious summer house near the springs. and bringing the healing properties of the water to public notice by extensive advertising, and lucky idea 1t was, not only for his pocketbook, but for that throng of invalids from city and town that yearly fill the capacious house to over flowing, finding their life and health in drinking and bathing tin the sulphurous waters.
 Such unbounded faith has Nash in the medical virtues of these springs. confirmed by innumerable cirtificates of cures effect fected, that he confidently asserts they can cure many and mitigate all the ills that flesh is heir to. He says they will force hair to grow on marble statue; think of that ye bald-heads and ye beardless youths and hasten thither. In short he claims they will cleanse ones inner man of all impuri- | ties, save the ''Old Adam" The first draught of the sulphur water is disagreea- ble enough, reminding one of addled eggs and burnt gunpowder, but after little use one acquires positive liking for it. The fragrance exhalsd from the springs is SO strongly suggestive of the entrance to the internal regions that leaning over the mar ble curbstone and gazing into the depths one 'would mt be surprised to catch a glimpse of Old Nick himself. Not the least attraction here is Nash, the genial proprietor, who, with his wife, brimming over with hospitality, endeavors in every way to make his guests comfortable. Now J. L., word of advice: When the mid summer hea, comes on and you are Jagged and jaded, exhausted from hurling libelous editorials against your brothers of the quill, and your fingers and visage are bespattered with ink, then hand over the glue.pot and scissors to neighbor Adams and hie away to the Columbia Springs and Drink of tho clear, flowing fountain;

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Heroes Wanted.

We venture to suggest few accessible situations in which, as the notices say Zen terprising persons of both sexes" can dis tinguish themselves and benefit the com munity in greater or less degree, accord ing to circumstances. The list of openings can be extended indefinitely.
 l. Let all the youthful smokers conquer the growing habit; and all masticators ot the weed spare their mouths and the public highways. It IS unnecessary to discuss here the propriety or otherwise of the in. dulgences. It is enough that the victory over them demands coolness and courage, to which many are not equal. ....
 2. Let all young men who have begun to enjoy friendly glass" forego 1t at once, even though it be presented by the faires, hands, on the gayest holidays, or urged with varied bantering and entreaty at the most brilliant table. ...... --# yts
 3. Let all the ladies whose taste and judgment revolt against absurd fashions ig. nore them. Why should free Americans be ruled by the caprice of few modistes, or ordered how to dress by magazine writer? Why should they submit in grum bling discontent to irresponsible tyranny obedience to which is ruinously costly i Why should Mrs. Smith be required tc drag silk, at five dollars yard through the mud, while poor Mir. Smith is at his witt end about the grocer's bill? .. .f . 4. Let young ladies dare to go home a, rational evening hours. Their color health, spirits, lives in some instances, will be saved by such courage. We do no sympathize with the cynic who approve, of this absurd inversion of night and day on the ground that the silly women who practice it are thus killed off, to the gain oi society. Many who are capable of gooe things suffer with the multitude. Here 1. fine opportunity for femenine courage to rescue endangered lives.
 5. Let young men wear old gloves, coa and hat till they can honestly afford tht new. It requires uncommon courage bu it will have good results. Men schoolei to such deeds of heroism will refuse to CD dorse bad bills, will not vote for scamps, nor kneel in the mud to scoundrels who give lavishly what ttey gained lawlessly
 nor take with pride the hand of vlillair however exalted.
 ! 6. Let men refuse their names to all pa pers, the contents of which they canno personally vouch for, and also includ- ing testimonials. Any man actually sea out of Sing Sing can get testimonial and you may see dozen names testifyina to the excellence of one whom each of tn, dozen signers will own to be worthless How arc they caught? By being taken ir detail and each told what the rest are going to do. No one likes to be the one to re fuse. Here is splendid field for heroic deeds !-Dr. John Hak.

STATE ELECTION.

In every sense of the word, we can use trulhfully the stereotyped phrase. "election passed off quietly In our village" as last Mondays election was indeed quite one, hut very little drunkenness being visible, and that at the latter part of the day. Not withstanding the almost unfathomable depths of mud everywhere, . very large vote was boiled. We give below the vote of the towns in this immediate vicinity.
