On Tuesday, March IA, Mr.. and Mrs.
Israel Haynes, and Mr.. and Mrs. Elbridge
Haynes, who live in large double house
about four miles from the village, gave
centennial tea party" which was a very
fine and delightful affair to all who partici-
pated in it. The guests numbered about
hundred, all of whom took supper. The
tables were bountifully laden with every
thing nice, both ancient and modern. The
party could choose from baked beans, bean
porridge, hulled corn, boiled victuals,
wheat, rye, and brown bread, baked Indi-
an and rice puddings, mince, apple, Gus
tard and berry pies-some with rye crusts
and some with wheat, also rye pancakes,
tea, coffee, and other things too numerous
TO mention. Some of the vlands were
served on pewter platters, and curious
plates were exhibited which were brought
many years since from England. Mrs. o.
T.. Buuerfeld, Mrs. Ephraim Haskell,
Miss Mary Spencer aud Miss Anna Rose
were dressed in ancient costume, and Mr..
Chas. Spencerin Washingtonlan style. The
company Joined in singing coronation"
and other old tunes which are so familiar
III Ills centennial year. HeN. MT. BUCK
ley, their pastor, made speech suited TO
the occasion and offered prayer. All voted
that they had enjoyed a good sleighride
and one of the best of times.
Rev. A. w. Goodnow preached u very
affecting farewell sermon last Sunday after
noon, at the Baptist church, TO full house.
This closes a pastorate of sixteen years in
which he has labored faithfully and eff
GENTLY, not only Tor the upbuilding of his
own church, but for the promotion of good
morals, education, refinement and pieiy
throughout the town. Should he eventual
ly!leave here we feel that our loss would
be some other towns gain.

Nothing has better shown the great val
ne of the national Signal Service than its
efiicieu. work during the recent great gale
ON the New England coast. Though sew
eral vessels were wrecked or stranded, it
was not the fault of the visilant watchers
along the bay. Storm signals were hoisted
at Thalcher's island and all the stations in
ample time for vessels TO gain harbor, or
at least safe offing. When the signal Of
danger was shown at Thatcher's Island,
there were foriy-three vessels in sight, but
all had disappeared in a short time, and
were beyond the reach Of serious damage
by the gale. 1t may, indeed, be reasona-
bly, assumed that the amount of property
saved by this one signal more than covered
the cost Of the signal service for whole
year. When the work done by its faithful
operators in preserving life is taken into
account, its actual worth must be pro-
nounced administration Globe.

Nttp ADVERTISEMENTS.
UNIVERSALLY
RECOMMENDED.

We have Just received October, 1879 commune
cation from nearly every druggist in New England,
and the testimony Is universally In favor Of sAN-
FoRD's RADICAL CURR ron CATARHH. We believe
there never a remedy so popular wherever known,
and certainly we feel that never was one more de-
serving Of praise. Founded upon correct scientific
principles and calculated by the most Accompls ID
physicians TO meet the severest forms Of Catarrh the
cures made by II have not only been numerous, but
80 charitable 10 excite public attention and
the sale to exceed tenfod that Of any similar remedy
ever before compounded
While many are anxious TO make public their testi-
mony In favor Of the RADICAL CUEE, others-And
among this number may be found many Of our most
respected citizens-diske TO become publicly idonti-
fed with so loAthsome q disease. Hence, in the fol-
lowing are unable to give the name, but are
permitted 10 state the severity and condition Of the
case before and after using the RADICAL cuRE, and
also that the gentleman occupies responsible ONCE 10
one Of our State institutions. We quote:
az would not for the world permit my to be
used, although have no doubt it would be Of benent
to many suffering as have suffered; but give
you brief statement Of my case;
For two years have taken bromide
of pOtassa and bromide Of AMIN OnIa eve
cry day. Il never passed y single night
without getting up once or twice 60 free
L coughed during all this time. Since
taken NO p0tnssa or y ma sn Onia, have slept
sOundly every night without uneasiness
or distress; not a particle Of after has
dropped into my throat du ring sleep, and
every symptOm OF y cough has left mae"
A wonderful result truly, all will say, who know
realize the extent and severity u this The
gentleman has had eighteen bottles. This must salts
fy the sceptca that there IN great merit in the RADf
CAL CURE Its mode q preparation is new and orig
inal. IgLoring the old practices and remedies, DR..
Sanford selected 4 new held, and has demonstrated
his method to be the only proper and neyer-fAiling
treatment.

now declines TO erect a building for the

posed by him. His reasons are that his
