party from the"Gore" consisting Of
William Lucas and his son Frank, Amial
Wentworth and Durrell G.. Cram, went
deer hunting in the region of Round
Mountain, in Kilkenny, last Tuesday, and
not finding game plenty started for home
early in the afternoon. On their way out
Cram got separated from the rest of the
party; but his companions, however, en-.
tertained no fears for his safety, as they
supposed he knew perfectly well where he
was and what direction to take. Next
morning it was ascertained that he had
not reached home, and his companions
with Nelson Moulton, started in search OF
him. After travelling for half day they
found him about eight miles from home
nearly exhausted from hunger and fatigue
After partaking of a hearty breakfast
brought to him by his rescuers, ne felt de-
cidedly better, and was able to Join then
on their homeward tramp. 1t appears
that after becoming separated from hi,
companions, Cram got faced in the wrong
direction and at night found himself OF
the banks of the Ammonoosuc in the
town of Milan where he encamped, anC
made himself as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances. Had the wca,
ther not been unusually warm for the sea

On Friday of last week, our Grand
Juror, Levi Silsby, presented Alba Wright,
Emma Valley, George Drew, Henry
Briggs, Walter Hartshorn and Joseph
Woods, before Justice Chester Thomas,
for beating and otherwise abusing one
Edward Shehee. Itappeared on evidence
AS young Wright plead guilty and then
"turned the bag inside out" SO as to spill
all over the.rest of them-that about tif-
teen of these model young men showed
their courage and manliness by pitching
at Christmas gathering where he was
quietly and civilly looking on, to behold
the gifts Of goodwill to others, and be-
cause he is not overstocked with intelli-
gence, and has no helper, these brave,
manly young men must make him the
butt of ridicule and abuse. After hear
ing the case, the Justice thought $6.25
each, which included fine and costs would
settle the bill this time.

The boyish element is a little too much
in some of our schools for the teachers
and some have left Many doubt the ex-
pediency of hiring female teachers fol-
winter schools, especially where there is
n large set of coarse-grained boys. The
thing was effectually settled years ago by
Deacon Thomas in his own district. II
appeared at the school meeting, that
there were many in favor of a 'schoo
marm," because it would be cheaper; after
hearing awhile the old Deacon arose ant
made telling speech against the move
ment and closed by saying that "a woman

DR. c. G. Frost: Words can never express the
gratitude we fell toward you for the joy and CON-
fort YOU have given us in curing our daughter
from that lOathsOme disease scrOfula. From
early childhood she has been afflicted, in one
forsl or another With it, and never until now has
been free firm it. Her face had not been free
from sores since she was eighteen months old
(she is now thirteen years of age) A few years
ago it settled mainly in her eyes and ears, and
we feared she would lose her sight We had eX-
pended hundreds of dollars to obtain the best
medical skill to be had in the country, but all to
no purpose; physicians could not help her; she
grew worse constantly. After all this, can you
blame us that we were so 10th to try your medi
cine? we had no faith in anything. We tried
your medicine because you was so sure it would
help her; we did not believe it ourselves: but
before the second bottle was finished we noticed
change for the better. She grew stronger, her
eyes began to.get BETTER aud she appeared like
another being. After taking seven bottles Uhe
last was taken last April, She was pronounced
well girl, and at the presenttime is in the enjoy
ment of perfect health. Respectfully yours,
