A Naked Bride.

AT the centennial celebration at New
fame, VT, the address was delivered b,
Judge 9. X. Field, the well known anec
dotist, and among the stories told by hin
in it is the following, as given in the Mont
pelier 4rgw:: by a strange pcrversion
of legal principles, it was supposed by our
ancestors that whoever married a widow
who was administrative upon the estate of
her deceased husband, represented insol
vent, and should thereby possess himself
OF any property or thing purchased by the
deceased husband, would become an exec
utor de son tort, and wonld thereby make
himself liable to answer for the goods Of
his predecessor. Major Moses Joy be.
came enamored Of Mrs. Hannah Ward,
widow of William Ward, who died in 1888,
leaving an insolvent estate, Of which Mrs.
Ward was Administrative To avoid the
unpleasant penalties of the law, on the
morning of her marriage with Major JOY
Mrs. Ward placed herself in a closet,
with a tire-woman, who stripped her of all
her clothing, and when int perfectly nude
state she thrust her fair, round arm
through diamond hole in the door of the
closet, the gallant Major clasped the hand
Of the buxom widow, and was married in
due form by the %jolliest parson in Yer
mont. AT the close of the ceremony the
tire woman dressed the bride in a com
plete wardrobe which the Major had pro
vided and caused to be deposited in the
closet at the commencement OF the ceremo-
ny. She came out elegantly dressed in
silk, satin and lace and there was kiss
ing all around.

rected to this valuable remedy. The season OF the
year has already come when, on account Of the sud
den changes in the weather, colds and coughs are
easily taken, and ifneglected may lead TO disease
of the lungs. What is needed under such circum
stances is a reliable remcdy-spcedy In %afording

gSf~To arrest the existing irritation of the air
passages and the lungs, speedily and etiectually,
The seat and cause of cough, Is an important step
gained toward relief and cure in the first stages of
the disease. MAsTA's PULAoNIc BaIsAM possesses
this important power, and while Ii promptly and
relieves cough, IL renders the lungs further relief
by promoting II free discharge OF the accumulated
mncus in the air passages, imparting a healthy ac-
uon aud vigor at the same time.
sS Those suffering with cough and the first sta
Ses Of lung disease, will therefore find in this
valuable preparation q speedy and decided relief
Even those whose condition IL beyond recovery.
will derive from rs use great benefit as well as
comfort. For the class OF diseases 1t Is designed to
relieve, the general commendaiion ii has received
has proved its great efficacy beyond question. For
the past twenty years thousands have been speedily
and ciectually cured by its timely use while suf-
fering from severe colds, protracted coughs. and
from other forms of lung disease. 1t Is prepared
from vegetable balsams and the medicinal proper
tics of roots and herbs, with no minerals or poison
Gus acids. Simple and safe in the materials used
1t can be taken at any time.

A FIXED FACT.
The East Fork Bridge to be Built at
Last.

This important enterprise is at last
to be carried out and the bridge built.
The Rockwell Banner has the par
ticulars of meeting there to put the
thing in shape. The proposition ofDaI-
las was made through MI. R. Il. T0mp-
kins, to the effect that Dallas would
furnish an iron bridge, laid down al the
proposed crossing, free Of expense, if
Rockwell would pay for the erection OF
the same, furnish the necessary lum-
Der and construct approaches. Mr.. 5.
A. Oliver, agent of u. King u Sons,
proposed to erect it for four hundred
dollars. Five hundred and thirty-nine
dollars was then subscribed on the
spot, four hundred and eighty-twO dol
lars aud fifty cents i'll cash, and sixty
nine dollars and fifty cents in work
and lumber. A committee was APP
pointed to make the necessary con-
tracts and furnish the work, which is
to he done in II week after everything
is made ready. The proposed crossing
is about one mile above Moses SIM
mons house, where fine high banks
are found on both sides. On the west
side no approaches whatever are nee
essary, and on the east side there viii
be rise of about five feet. This places
the bridge above high water mark,
while through the bottom only few
rods of the road overflows. The river
is sixty-live feet wide, while the bridge
is ninety-seven feet in length. This
secures nearly twenty feet of the bridge
on either bank.
