The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. E. s. BEST,
pastor NJ. Z. church. Natick, Mass, will be read
with interest by many physicians. Also those
suffering from the same disease as afflicted the
son OF the Rev. L. S. Best. No person can doubt
this testimony, and there is no doubt about
the curative powers of vEGETINE:
NATIck, Mass, Jan. !, 1874.
Mr.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine OF the greatest
value. We feel assured that It has been the
means OF saving our sons life. He 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 though his re-
covery impossible. A council OF able physicians
could give us but the faintest hope OF his ever
rallying, two or the number declaring that he
was beyond the reach or human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had
not vigor enough TO endure the operation. just
then we commenced giving him vEGETINE,
and from that time 10 the present he has been
continuously improving. He has lately resum-
ed his studies, thrown away crutches and cane,
and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have
the fullest confidence that In a little time he
will be perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF
VEGETINE. but lately uses but littie as he de-
clares that he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours
Mrs. l.. G. +. BEST.

The Tired Body Sues for sleep.
ROsT0N March IA 1874

ii. X. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sir-It is as much from a sense of duty
as OF gratitude that l write to say your VEG
TINE-even If IL is patent medicine-has been
OF great help to me when nothing else seemed
to avail which | could safely use. Either ex-
cesslve mental work or unusual care brings
upon me nervous exhaustion that desperately
needs sleep, but as desperately deties It. Night
after night the poor, tired body sues for sleep
until the ay-dawn is welcomed back, and we
begin our work tired out with an almost fruit
less chase after rest. Now have found that q
little vEGETINE taken just before Iretire gives
me sweet and Immediate sleep, and without
any of the evil effects OF the usual narcotics. j
think two things would tend TO make brain
workers sleep. lst-A little less work. 2d-A
little more VEGETINE. This prescription has
helped me.
Now | have a particular horror OF "patent
medicine" but have greater horror OF being
afraid to tell the straight out truth. The VEGE-
TINE has helped me, and own 1t up.

When you want 8 long drink you pour into this tum- bier as much out of the other one as you want; if you want short drink you pour some out of this tumbler into the other one. It's big thing Mir. Kelley was in despair. The barkeeper continued:
 You see want to return to 6 whisky basis but wish to do SO without injury to the business interests of the country. Now if you will wait until the water evapo- rates and leaves the whisky
 Here Mir. Kelley smote the counter with his cane. Look here he shouted; fin spite of your expanding the volume of that drink and humbugging me with idiotic in- terconvertible cocktails and talking about returning to whisky basis without derang. ing my interests, don't you see you howl ing ass, that that's the same weak, thin, di. luted, mawkish, tasteless, sbominable slush all the time. Iwant an immediate return to whisky resumption and no steps backward.l
 'Keerect Judge, replied the barkecper as be threw the inflated cocktail into the sink; 'we'll repudiste this as they, always do.'- And he mixed another cocktail on a,whis ky basis. 'But.' be said; suppose you hadn't had another 5 cents, or that all the whisky in the house had been in that cock tail; where'd you have been ehF '
 Mir. Kelley smiled and invited the bar keeper to join him. The latter compiled and took little gin, syrup and bitters. Mir Kelley drank off his cocktail, paid for tho drinks and taking clove was about to de part, when an after-thought seemed to oc cur to him. He turned back and said:
 See here Johnny, you're smart young fellow and I've enjoyed your conversation very much. But then, you see the-ah the financial problem is 8 thing that people cant exactly understand in all its ramiGca- tions without a special cducation-a train ing you know. Ofcourse it affects all peo pie but all people can't understand it; i isn't to their interest that they should. I everybody knew all about it there'd be n' Kelleys and Logans and Inter Ocedaas ant :Enquirers. ., It's like cocktails you know Every man drinks them but every maj can't mix them. If they could there'd b no barkeepers. Understand? And JOhpn, perhaps you'd better not say anything abou this little conversation of ours to anybody You see, perhaps it would hurt the bushes of the house, and the proprietor don't lik to have politics discussed, Goodbye
 'So-long! remarked the barkeeper, an, as the Judges form vanished up the stair way. he closed one eye respectfully an took three jig-steps with an expression O the deepest reverence.

they should take their departure. Crestfal- len and disappointed they then asked for lantern, the night being as dark as Erebus,
 that they might be able to reach Sharon without breaking their necks. The lantern of course was refused them, when they offered five dollars for one. Our friend was not to be caught by any of their tricks, and
 smelling a big mouse evidently. disdaiuful- lY spurned their offer and had the pleasure of seeing them depart without having come any of their gum games over him. Our friends caution was no doubt commenda- ble, for there is no knowing what deeds of violence and rapine it would have been my lot to recor1 had he admitted those suspi- cious characters into his house. He evi- dently did not care to run the risk of 'en- Pertaining angels unawares.' There is ru- nor current in town that the suspected burglars were, two highly respectable citi- zens of distant town on their way to Sharon, to pay visit to one of our citizens, with whom they were associated in man ufacturing establishment, but who knows what they don't know. Mistakes of this character, if indeed this was mistake, are liable to occur in these times of extraordi- nary caution, and no other course can be considered at all safe to pursue, but to re- gard with suspicion all strangers, applying for assistance in the dead of night, and ln- tensely dark nights at that. If MT. St. John had admitted these strangers to enjoy the hospitality of his home, and they had murdered him and all his household and plundered and perhaps burned his house 8 crime of character similar to what IS con. stantly being done by the rowing bands that infest our country, the world would have cried out against him for being SC reckless as to admit strangers on such 6 night. The course pursued by MT. St. John is the only one that can be at the present time regarded as at all safe, and if it be true he made mistake, he made justifia
 ble one, and honest people travelling in
 tensely dark nights. and applying ut houses for assistance, must expect to be treated as rogues. ALPHA.

 The town hall is almost finished and ev-- erybody is disappointed with it. The fault is not in the work, but in the architecture. the height of the building being out of pro. portion to it's other dimensions. It is pity that after making such stupendous efforts as those faYoring the new hall made to se- cure an appropriation from the town to build it, practical architect was not con- suited, that the building, even if it be small, might be an ornament to the village. As it IS, however useful it may be, it is far from ornamental. It is to be hoped that the citizens of the town at their next annu- al meeting, throwing aside party differences and prejudices, will unite and vote an ap- propriation to extend the building ten or town may be relieved of the odiuln of hay ing labored and brought forth mouse.

The bolt struck the chimney and made sad havoc with it, scattering the bricks in every direction and throwing some of them hundred feet. After demoraliz- ing the chimney it went on general ex- ploring expedition about the house, shat tered windows, tore off the ceiling of the house. rummaged among the furniture, up- set things generally and finally made it's exit through the cellar. Strange to say, notwithstanding there were several persons in the house at the time, no one was seri- ously injured. The damage to the house and furniture is estimated at more than thousand dollars......The reports of the burglaries committed by tramps about the country have caused many of our citizens to be very suspicious of strangers who do not carry their credentials with them in the shape of proper testimonials in regard to their character and business notably first

He was there accosted by two strangers, to him very suspicious looking characters, who told the oft repeated story of having gotten on the wrong road; and desired to put their jaded horse in the barn and have lodgings and meals furnished them, for which they were willing to pay any price. MT. St. John looked them over from top to toe, and with very suggestive expression on his countenance peremptori- ly refused their requests and intimatcd in a very forcible manner that it would be high ly conducive to their physical welfare if

Sheffield

The greatest treat of the season was the temperance sermon delivered by Miss L. Greenwood at the M. B. church on Sunday afternoon. This lady IS secretary of the Woman's Temperance Union of Brooklyn, which is doing such vast amount of good in that city. The people of Sheffield feel double interest in Miss Greenwood, as she is the granddaughter of Squire Ward, who for long years was known as one of the first citizens in town, and much respected far and near. The church here was crowd ed by those who came to hear woman speak and that her words were effective and interesting one could judge from the hushed assembly and the tear-filled eyes to be seen on every side. ~ She chose for her subject the wonderful story of the transfig- uration on the mount. Her explanations and descriptions were clear and of the deepest interest to all. She told us of the wonderful work being done in Brooklyn by this society, for they not only convert men to temperance, but hundreds are through their means brought to the Saviour. There were many in the audience who had never heard woman deliver an address, and I think Miss G. has removed many prejudices against this woman's rights by her eloquent and lady-like appeal. To sum up the whole matter, as some express it, She was simply charming I wish that this lady might re- main some weeks in town and form Wo- mans Society, which should effect the closing of the disgraceful rum holes in this village. If the gentlemen are not brave enough to put down this general rum sell ing, tis sincerely hoped our ladies may come to the rescue. Report says that Miss Greenwood is to lecture next Sunday eyen- ing at Chapinville. Salisbury friends, go and hear her if she fayors you. You will never regret the hour thus spent..
