SHYNESS EXEMPLIFIED.-A young
lady in a neighboring town one day
last week, went into dry goods store
and thus unburdened herself
1T is my desire TO obtain pair OF
circular elastic appendages, capable
Of being contracted or expanded by

appliances, that sparkle like PARTICLES
Of gold leaf set with Cape May dia,
monds, and which are utilized for re-
tanning in proper position the hablIl,
ments of the lower extremitles, which
innate del,cacy forbids me just now tc
mention.
The vender of calicoe was non
plussed, but not wishing to appear lg'
norant, said that he was ust out.
After her departure, he ruminated
in silence for a few moments, when a
new light broke upon his distracted
brain and lie burst forth with
"By thunder - I'll bet that woman
wanted pair Of garters.

TWEED'S ARREST.
WHAT MINISTER CUSHING KNOWS ABOUT IT.
New York Herald Sept. IA, |

New York Herald Sept l4,]
NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, Sept! l3.-In the
course of Il conversation the arrS>t OF Boss
Tweed was incidentally alluded to- and the
fact ascertained that the apprehension of
New YOrk's famous swinder was not in any
Sense II matter OF surprise to the American
government.
II presume from what zee ia the news
papers" said Mr.. Gushing, "that there are
many who doubt that the great criminal has
been arrested but il is All absolute fact that
he is in custody precisely as was stated in
the Heratd cable dispatch the other day"
observed to Mr.. Gushing that the doubt
ing Thomases were few now; but at the time
the announcement was made there was
scarcely person To be found who took any
stock in the story. "Yes, know" said Mr..
Gushing, they seemed To think that he was
all the while in New York or near here. 1t
was known before left Spain that he would
be there shortly, and was not in the least
surprised when heard of his arrest. 1t was
all arranged that he should be taken into
custody Immediately upon his arrival at
Vigo, aud Furthermore it was planned that
he should be surrendered to the American
government There is no extraditiOn
treaty between the United States and Spain, -
remarked. That is very true" replied
Mr.. Gushing, "bu, there is no doubt, though
but that Tweed will be brought to tLis coun.
try. The matter was all arranged before |
left, and the arrest. l will add, was made a,

like to give You the particulars Of the ease

II. r ..srEvENs Dear sir-In expressing my
Negetinc, and to benefit others, win state:-
When eight or nine years old was af1iiCted with
Scroiua, which made Its appearance in my eyes
face and head, and | was very near bind for two
years. All kinds OF operations were performed on
my eyes and ali to no good result Finally the dis
ease principally settled In my hody limbs and feet,
and at times In an aggravated way.
Last summer Was, from some cause, weak In my
spine and Kidneys and it was at times very hard to
retain the urine Seeing your advertisement In the
Commercial, bought bottle Of VEGETINE, ana
commenced using according to directions. In Two
or three days obtained great relief After using
four or i've bottles noticed # had wonderful eject
on the rough, scaly blotchcs on my body and legs
still used Negetne and the humorou> sores one af-
ter another disappeared until they were all gone,
and attribute the cure OF the two diseases to Vege-
tine us the only reliable remedy. once more accept
my thanks and believe me to be, Very respectfully
AUSTIN PARRUTT.

Diseases OF the Kidneys, Bladder, etc, are always
unpleasant, and At times they beceme the most dis
tressing and dangerous diseases that can affect the
human system. Most dsea OF the Kidneys arise
from impurities In the blood, causng huinOrs which
settle on these parts. Vegetine excels any known
remedy In the whole world for cleansing and purify
ing the blood, thereby causing healthy action TO all
the organs or the body.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists. Sept. l6-lm.

TIE GREAT INTERNATIONAL CIR
cUs.-The largest and best show that
ever visited Upton came here We'd
nesday. The streets were thronged
with people, such a crowd having
seldom before assembled in this place.
1t seemed as if the country for miles
around had turned out in full force,
men, women and children. Passage
along the streets during the process
sion was almost impossible. The
parade was immense, such gorgeous
display was never seen before in this
or any other place. The camel team,
the caliope, the display Of wild ami
mails upon the tops of cages and
above all the grand tablcaux car
drawn by four huge elephants ard
bearing upon its top the wonderful
baby elephant Topsy attracted the
attention of all Nothing but excla-
nations Of surprise at the rich and
varied display, and words of praise
the brilliancy and beauty Of all was
heard upon all sides. 1t is the best
procession we ever witnessed.
The performance, ike the parade,
was first class in all respects and ex-
celled anything in the circus line
ever exhibited in Upton. The rid
ing, tumbling, acrobatic performances
and gymnastic exercises were very
fine and could not be beat. The per-
formsnce of the great James Robin
son, the champion bareback rider,
was superb. His feat of carrying his
little son Eugene upon his head was
received with laundering applause.
William German, the celebrated
hurdle rider. Pete Conklin and
Charles Seeley, two Of the several
clowns attached to the show and the
acrobatic and tumbling acts of the
Millions, Jaspers, Cassim and Fritz
are also deserving Of mention, for
their performance was excellent and
kept up the interest of the people
finely. Nor can we omit to mention
the ring master, Mr.. p. Diellenbach,
who is one of the best we ever saw
in that position. The entire show
received the praise of all, and what
is more, it deserved it, for it is the
best of tent shows.
The menagerie is very fine, and
contains a large variety of well kept
and fine appearing animals. The
giraffe and sea-lion, about which
there was SO much doubt, were there.
The display of animals and the vari-
ETY. exhibited was about the best we
have seen. The cleanliness Of the
cages and their in offensiveess from
odor was remarkable. The baby
monkies, baby camel, and the baby
elephant attracted great attention.

ATTENDANCE.

Regularity and punctuality in at
tendance are among the first things
necessary to make a good school. As
there can be no real success without
them every effective teacher uses his
best efforts to secure them. And, as
a rule, it is the teacher who makes
his school room and school duties
most attractive that is most success
ful in this esPcct. Though the per
cent. of attendance in our schools is
up TO a good standard, that Of pune
tualty can be much improved. The
teachers have made strong efforts to
break up habits of tardiness. But it
seems that some Of the parents either
neglect to see that their children are
punctual or fail t2 appreciate the
necessity for it. frregularity has
bad effect, not only upon the charac-
ter Of the child, but it detracts very
larg ely from the interest and eflici-
cncy of the school. When a pupil is
absent from school day he loses a
link in the chain he is making which
cannot be replaced without extra
help. If the teacher gives this help
it disturbs his regular work and is
taking time from the many and Civ
ing it to the few. Many of the tar
illnesses can be attributed to the
want Of bell large enough to be
heard, except under the most favora-
bic circumstances.

poor discipline. Though our schools
are not up to the high standard we
wish to attain, there has been no
conduct that seriously disturbed or
impedcd our work. We refer with
pleasure to the fact that corporal
punishment has been necessary in but
few cases. Generally speaking the
school governed without force is the
one under the best discipline. Did
the parents visit the schools more
frequently and show their interest in
and appreciation Of the work being
done, not only the schools but the
teachers would be held in higher es-
teen by the children.
In conclusion let me say that the
school year has been pleasant and
successful one. The teachers have
moved forward in their work har-
Their thanks are due the
Board for their cheerful co operation
in the enaeavors made TO promote
the efficiency of the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
A. G.. Ross.

New CHURcH.-The members of
the Methodist Episcopal denomina-
tion in the vicinity Of Eureka school
house this county, have in contempla-
tion the erection Of commodious
church building. Already a oonsid
erable subscription has been made
for the purpose, and it is still increas
inc. Some idea Of the ability of the
neighborhood to build, and its liability
to use, such an edifce will be gath
cred from the fact that a sabbath
school has long been maintained at
Eureka which now averages an ar
tendance oil from sixty TO eighty
weekly.
