A letter has been received in this town during the past week which was mailed two and half years since in Paterson, N. J. It has no post mark on it except the original post mark of Paterson.

Several years since. 3 tele- gram was sent from Cornwall to Litch- field and was longer before 1t arrived in Litchfield than it would have taken man on horseback to have gone and delivered the message.

 On Sunday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, just as the evening meet ings were about to close, the bell of the Methodist church gave the alarm of fire, and it was found that tine building occu pied by Samuel Wheeler was on fire in the basement. The various appliances at hand were brought to bear upon the flames, which were soon extinguished. The building was standing within four feet of MT. Gillette's store and had it not been discovered just at the time it was, it would have been very difficult. with the scarcity of water, to have extinguished the fire and saved the store. It is sup posed to have originated from acid in contact with rags. Another correspond ent informs us that ''Stheinwing's Fire Extinguisher" proved very valuable aid in suppressing the fire. ED. Eve.

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up 70
its high standard; and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring CRAY or FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
il soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, b. its use, becomes white and
clean. Il removes all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAn-DEEssIsG ever
used, rs it requires fewer appIica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ez-
cellent quality; and L consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"
