you have not used this medicine yourself,
go to your druggist, Albert w. Higgins;
also Rice u Co., Castleton, and l.. Kellogg,
Fairhaven, and ask them of its wonderful
success among their customers. Two
doses will relieve the worst case. If you
have no faith in any medicine, just buy a

Heterogeneous colgomeration of humanity
assembled at what is known as a rowley
rum hole, in that village, where they in
dulged quite freely in benzine, cards and
riot, the result being that one Owen Doyle
soon found himself kicked out of the back
door bruised and maltreated where he lay
for several hours with the canopy of heav-

A boat loaded with hay, and run by Cap
tain Montgomery of Isle La Motto, an
chored in Cat Fish bay, near Rouses Point,
was struck by cake of ice, daring the
heavy south wind, last week, and a hole
knocked into her bow. They were obliged
to cut the anchor and run her ashore. The
hay has since been taken off and the boat
taken to Isle La Motto. Some OF the hay
was damaged by the water. Another boat
loaded with hay, owned by Major George
ID. Sowles of Alburgh, anchored off the
head of Isle La Motto, dragged her anchor
until the captain saw she was going ashore,
when he hoisted sail and started for Rouses
Point. The wind tore her jib in shreds
and she became nearly manageable, but
she was finally got to the Point Several
bales of hay were lost overheard, and the
major, who was on the boat, describes his
ride to the Point as anything but pleasant
lie says he expected every minute to see
the boat capsize.-Messen9er.

each town has the representative every
third wear. and thus every third year has
an opportunity to be represented by one
of its own citizens. This privilege of Pc
cu!iar representation in these towns is very
important to them. for sometimes. the in
terests of towns classed together are OPP
posed to each other on questions to come
before the Legislature, and it is just that
each town should have an equal chance
with the others in selecting the represen-
tative TO the Legislature. With biennial
sessions each one of those towns can have
but one representative of its own in six
years--tw:ce the time now required Tor
that purpose. This restriction would bear
heavily on the small towns. To the large
towns entitled to full representative this
view of the case is of no consequence as
regards themselves, but the classed towns
have reason to consider it well.
The expense of annual sessions doubt
less is more than that OF biennial sessions
would be, but the convenience of the
former will repay more than the differ
ence in cost between that system and the
latter Then the saving to the State eff
fected by the better supervision and care
of its administrative management and
wants which the yearly meeting of the
legislature affords must be very large,
There is scarcely a year that the legisla-
ture does not find something to correct in
the administration Of affairs, which with
infrequent sessions might have run on to
large abuse and waste. There are some who
pretend to look upon all meetings OF the
legislature as useless expenditure OF
money, but with all the railing at our leg
islatiye bodies they are the very iounda-
ton OF Liberty and Right in our
State, the advantages Of which we cannot
curtal without intiicting loss upon our en-
tire community.
