A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS on the morning OF December l2th,

fixtures and furniture, was totally destroyed
by fire, leaving the one hundred and forty Eight
boys-inmates of said sthOOl,-tDe Superlnten-
dent, teachers and other employees, without
shelter, And 1t being made to appear by repre-
sentation of the trustees of said Reform school,
that although the arrangements when they
have been able to make for the temporary ac-
commodation OF the school, and those ID the
Immediate charge thereof, will enable them to
keep the school together temporarily, yet the
want OF sufficient and convenient room VIII be
a source OF continued embarrassment, and to
the detrlment of the school.
And whereas, the trustees have further repre-
sented to the underslg led, that in their judy
ment 1t is lmperatlvely necessary, both for the
interests of the state and the best interests of
the school, that new building, suited to the
wants of the institution, should be erected
without delay and that they are clothed with
no authority to erect the same. and that de-
lay until the next biennial session of the legis.
lature would be a sacrifice Of the vital Dement'S

Some of the papers in this vicinity have
devoted n great deal OF space TO the foolish
" reported mysterious falling of stones on
the farm OF Mr.. Paddock at North Pow
nal. VI. The farmer is Il spiritualist, and
the story has gone forth that the stones
came from unseen hands, that they were
hot, of peculiar form, etc. The lIoosic
Valley Ac1cs solves the mystery. 1t says
that two North Adams investigators visited
the fam recently, and were shown where
stones had fallen and ndcnted the barn
and the ground The investigators suspect
ed that the stone juggleiy was the work Of
a hired boy named Jerry, and one of them
in the boys presence remarked that he was
greatly interested in spiritual manifesto
tons, that he had attended several seancos,
but had never had the pleasure of seeing
anything unusual performed he really de-
sired to see these stones fall. rs lie consid-
cred the phenomenon striking illustration
of the existence and power Of the spirit

emily to do bis chores. He had been gone

1t Is quite generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the cure OF liver complaint,
and both the mineral and vegetable Kingdom
have been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatlves In order
to produce powerful effect upon the liver, and
arouse the tagging and enfeebled organ. This
system of treatment is on the same principle as
that of giving q weak and debilitated man
large portions Of brandy to enable him TO do a
certain amount of work. When the stinulant
is withheld, the organ, like the system, gradu.
ally relapses into more torpid or sluggish ana
weakened condi lon than before. What then
is wanted Medicines, which, while they cause
the bile to flow freely from the liver as that or
gan is toned into action Will not overwork and
thus debilitate IL. but Will. when their use Is
discontinued, leave the liver strengthened and
healthy Such remedies are found In Dr..
Plercc's Golden Medical Discovery and Purga-
tive Pellets.
