Statement:-Niy son Henry, now SIX years OF
age had a severe attack OF the malignant form
OF scarlet fever about four years ago My lam
iiy physician, DR.. Hamlin, OF MaTysviile, CALI
foriia, told me that the child had better have
died as he would be AFFLICTED all his life with
sores OF a ScrOfulOuS nature, which he cOnsid-
cred incurable. The condition Of the child up
to last April seemed to confirm the Doctors
opinion. as he never was free from those
eruptiOus sores A number OF our best phySi
clans had endeavOred in vain to give the child
relief. At the time commenced giving him
DR.. BOrzeau's Smallpox Remedy the chilli was
unable TO open his eyes, his face was \ COM

running from both ears. He took two bottles

TWO HUNDRED BUSHELS TO TIE ACIiE

East Canaan.

We clip the following from the Berk- shire Courier relative to the attempt to blow up the Congregational Parsonage in this place mentioned in our last issue: The attempt to blow up a dwelling house at East Canaan on Saturday night, 2lst ult., of which we gave an account last week, has created considerable excite ment, and suspicion rests upon one Mi chael Bion, Frenchman, as the author of the crime. Bion was arrested few years ago for burglarizing the store ot Lyman Dunning and was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years, and 1t Is supposed that, seeking re- venge on Dunning, he made the attempt to blow up his house, as already stated, but somehow made q mistake, and de- posted his powder on the hatchway-door of the parsonage, near by, occupied by Reuben Andrus A scrap of paper, from the bag in which the powder was placed, had the name of F. G. Abbey, formerly merchant ln this village, and investiga- tion shows that 8 Frenchman, supposed to be Bion, bought ten pounds of blasting powder of John Brewer & Son in this vil- lage, on the 21st ult. and it was put in sack, brought from the cellar. which had F. G. Abbey's name upon it. The French man also bought some cloth of Lester & Go which was used to keep dampness from the powder. Rev. Geo. E. Mclean of this village, was in the house at the time of the explosion, and reports that the sensation was as if the house swayed to and fro, by the force of the powder. Bion was seen at Millerton the day after the explosion, but has not yet been ar- rested.

 On Friday evening the Dramatic sea- son was continued with the performance of "War to ths Knife and ..To Oblige Benson" Several new actors made their debut in leading parts in these plays which did not call fof the high talent needed for the presentation of 'sUncle Toms Cab in. Nevertheless, the entertainment was very enjoyable one, and seemed quite. satisfactory to the audience. In 'War to the Knife the ladies parts were ad- mlrably sustained by Miss Mary Titus, Miss Florence Canfeld and Miss Kenyon. The principal male parts were sustained by Messrs- Aspinwall, Ford, and Mckay. The cockney green grocer did not seem quite as hardy at misplaeing the A. as Aspinwall, but his portrayal Of the phe- nomena of drunkenness was much better than we should have expected from any native of Judea. Messrs Lemmon, Buel and Hall took the male parts in ''To Oblige Benson;" the latter doing South down remarkably we'll. The female parts were sustained by Misses Church and Gum, the latter of course managing South down beautifully till he became unman- ageable, and then bringing him to his senses nicely at the close.

There is kind of piety that demon strates ill capitals-not in State and na- tional capitals, though they have kind of piety, too-but in printers "Caps." Some of our religious journals begin every pronoun referring to God with a capital. The Bible, indeed, is not printed that way; but sermons very often are, and then they have the merit of extreme reverence, if no other. Our Ritualistic Episcopal ians, however, have made about the finest point ever put on this thing. The printed directions of the Church of the Advent at Boston for the proper taking of the sacra- ment closes as follows:
 ''1l. If, by any misfortune, crumb should l fall, pick It up, remembering that We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs from the Lords Table"
 The neat assertion of the "real pres- ence" implied in that cap. 7 is typo graphical masterpiece. We have seen nothing equal to it since the publication of an extract from some Sandwich Island paper that fell under our eye not long since (not in Mark Twain either) in which ''he" or ''him" referring to King Bill, of incorporate memory, was in every in- stance dignified with the capital IT.

New Preston.

New Preston has been enlivened during the past week, by necktie festival, and a grand ''hop." The former occurred on Wednesday evening, at Union Hall. The
 attendance was large. The crowd was en- ertained by music, vocal and instrument ], and charades. Miss Bolmour, of New fork, sung some beautiful songs, which were received with great applause.
 At eleven o'clock, the fair sex, old, foung and middle aged, adorned them lelves with neckties of various hues, dimensions and qualities. Most of them were ''nobby" affairs While this vas going on, basket of ties was distri- outed among the gentlemen. After the distribution, supper was announced. There vas rush by the gentlemen for partners with corresponding ties. Some were pleased with their success. Others were disappointed at the result, but they had 10 make the best of it. After supper, ice cream was retailed at 10 cts. per plate. Some young fellows who had not suffci- ent supply of stamps" forgot about the ream. The receipts of the evening were 37. l.
 The ''hop'' took place at Mir. Frank Browns on Thursday evening. The trip plng of the ''hght fantastic" was indulged n till -. All appeared to enjoy then- |lelyes hugely.

Plymouth sketcnes.-Mo. tes.

At the close of February-at midnight just as March was issuing from the womb of Time,-our respected fellow-cit- izen, Doctor Samuel Thurbur Salisbury, yielded mp his spirit to God who gave it. He was the son of Richard and Lydia Salisbury of the city of Providence. where he was born March 17th, 1914, and where he pursued his earlier medical studies. He graduated from the medical depart ment Of Yale College in 1886. and the same year came to this town, where he began practice partly or wholly on Thomp sonian principles, from which he after ward deviated to some extent. Here in the course of years, he built up a some what extensive and honorable practice. In 184S he lost by death his children- two daughters few years later his wife. He re-married, and now leaves a widow and three sons. In 1863 he was appointed one of the examining surgeons for army recruits. While engaged in the duties of his office, he was accused of ir- regularities or improprieties connected herewith; accusations which his friends. and fellow-townsmen generally, believed to be unjust. He was censured, but was believe subsequently honorably acquit- ted by the Secretary of War In regard to this unfortunate period of his life. the Hon. John H. Hubbard, in letter-now before mo, wrote-'I consider Doct. Sal isbury the most abused man in the Coun- ty. Returning home with health some what impaired, he continued the practice of his profession until the Autumn of 1869, when he was obliged to give it up, and seek relief in milder climate. He went South, where he remained through the winter, and returned in the spring of 1870. In the Summer and Fall of that year he attended to few cases among his old friends near home, and thus closed up his earthly labors for ever. The Doc- tor had large and thoughtful brain, and kindly sympathy with his patients, and earnestly endeavored to get at the foun- dation of disease in order to apply the proper remedies for its extinction. He could not always save life, yet numerous critical cases are remembered, where, with his own patients or those of his fel- | low physicians, his advice and prescrip- tions were attended with remarkable suc- cess. The Doctor had been many years a member of, and communicant in the Episcopal church. In domestic point of view he was blessed with an excellent home During his long and tedious ill., ness, he received the constant and assid- uous attentions of an affectionate wife, who for her faithfulness will doubtless re- ceive not only the approbation of her own conscience, but by and by the com mendations of her blessed Lord and Sa- viour. e

A remarkable instance of railroad tyr amy is mentioned in last weeks Spring field Republican. It seems that there had been thefts from the grain cars sent Messrs. Scudder Bartlett & Go. of Bos- ton, firm exporting about half million bushels year. This firm claimed dam- ages from the Boston & Albany Company for these shortages" In revenge the railroad company refused to transport any more of their grain. and thus complete ly destroyed Messrs. Scudder Bartlett & Co.'s export trade. In other words no one must enforce the we'll established lia- bility of a railroad company without be- ing made to suffer from the malice that seems to take the place of soul in some of these corporations.
