The Parsonage Fund Society, of ST
Paul's Church, meets on Thursday Evening
next at the residence of Mrs. W. L. Norris.
After vacation of two weeks the
public schools of the city will commence
the spring term Monday April 18th
The spring is opening favorably and
should the present fine weather continue a
few days longer the farmers in this section
will be actively engaged in sowing grain and
prosecuting their spring work. After all,
we believe sowing will be through with
this year about as early as the seasons
average.
There will be spelling match under
the auspices of the Ladies' Mite Society of
the Congregational church at the resi- dence
of Mrs. J. t. Moak, on Thursday Even ing
OF this week. The successful speler will
be presented with copy of Whittier's poems
Dewols will be used. Admission 10 cents.
Let there be general turnout of old and
Dung.
Res. Myron W. Reed paid the spoilers, at
the Academy, last evening, one OF the
neatest little compliments in the world.
He said ''In this spelling business, fools
rush in where angels fear to tread" The
audience smiled with their mouths, hands
and feet, and the "fools'' as Mr. Reed
calls them) Joined in and swelled the cho-
rus-Mhcaukee Wisconsin.
F W. Kurzwegs is a place in which
the sole rejoices. He has fine stock of
colored boots for ladies and children, slip
pers of every kind and description, from
the dainty kid, to the low, broad, cloth one
so much appreciated by people suffering
from corns. Any lady who can not find
in his assortment French Kid Boot, just
to her mind must be fastidious in the ex-
IRENE. Give him call before purchasing.

Having heard that we had in Morrisyille
an old gentleman that was over one hundred
years old, was anxious through curiosity
to see him and converse with him, Before
finding my way into his presence had ex
pected to find poor old helpless man. one
that had nearly lived out his memory and
other faculties, but was very much disap-
pointed in conversng with him. His name
10 Simon Dell. He was born in Nancy.
France, Oct. 28, 1913, therefore he is near
ly l02 years old at the present time. He
told me that he had what they told him was
shock, but he thought if nothing took him
suddenly he was good for ten or twelve
years yet, and most certainly should think
he was, ju1ging from his looks He is very
intelligent and and remembers places and
dates with remarkable clearness; is col
lege educated, and is the complete master

ted by Napoleon, entered the army at seven
teen years old and served under him in
most all of his campaigne and battles the
greatest of which he thinks was Austerlitz.
He was a sergeant and was taken prisoner
in Bonaparts campaign in Spain by the
English, and rather than lay in prison en-
listed under the Duke Of Wellington to the
British army for seven years was wounded
in the leg while under Wellington and pro-
NOTED to lieutenant, and thinks if he had
friends he might have been promoted to
position by which he might have received
two hundred pounds year. He was trans
ferred from England to Canada in the I'M
pleasantness of 1912, and fought with the
British at Plattsburg. He worked at maxi
ing brick forty years. He worked at man
utacturing hats and gloves seventeen years
He is the father of fifteen children, OF whom
eight are alive; the oldest is fifty-two and
the youngest thirty years of age. lie is
surrounded by three of his daughters who
no doubt do all they can for his comfort
His eyesight is good, not having to wear
glasses. Could read the small print of the
different languages with ease and correct
ness, and was of that buoyancy of spirits
that is so seldom met with in people that are
only half his age. At the mention of the
name of Bonaparte or Wellington his eye
will fire up with all the ardor of youth, and
he says he fought and spent his youth in
the service OF the two greatest generals
that ever lived.
Z. S.-This was on the Sd of March On
the seventh he was taken worse and died.
Thus has passed away one of those connect
ing links between the past and the present.
and one whom everybody delighted to con-
verse with, he being a man of such remark
able powers of mind and information.

Scraps.

The Rhode Island legislature has pro-
vided for taking state census, commenc-
ing June LIST of the present year, and TO be
taken every tenth year hereafter. This is
right. Every state should have taken a
census in 1915 to have presented its pro-
gress before the world during centennial
The Vermont legislature made mistake
when it refused to pass u bill for state
census this year, 1t might have had cor
rect census once.
Spelling matches have suddenly attained
great popularity. Music hall, Providence,

NATICK, MASS, Jan. LIST, 1873.
MIR. II. X. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine OF the greatest
value. We feel assured that II has been the
means OF saving our sons life. lie Is now
seventeen years OF age; for the last Two years
he has suffered from necrosis OF his leg, caused
by scrofulous affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his recov-
cry impossible. A council OF able physicians
could give us but the fainteSt hope OF MS ever
rallying; two OF the number declaring that he
was beyond the reach OF human remedies, mat
even amputation could not save him, as no had
not vigor enough TO endure the operation. Just
then we commenced giving him VEGErlNE
and from that time TO the present he has been
continuously improving. He has lately re-
sumed studies. thrown away his crutches ana
cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we nave
the fullest confidence that In little time he
will be perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF
VEGETINE, but lately uses but little, as he de-
clares he is too well 10 be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours, >.,,o,,

ssquarely held, the muscles of the barred
fore-arm-the one that leans strongly on
the pillow, the one that strongly grasps the
musket--are tense and unencumbered bv
habby flesh-the great veins stand knotted
on the strenuous hands. The man is alive
from head to foot, and, indeed, we know
not where there is better represented the

in this noble statute. An inevitable fame.
we are sure, will be insured to Mr.. French

conception, and so spirtedly achieved in
detail. -SpTinajieM Republican.
