HIGH HEELED SHoEs.-Dr. Car

or deep declivities while wearing
high heeled shoes, which throw
the weight of the body upon the
front part of the foot, the extra
effort made for the purpose of re-
tanning the body Within the contre
Of gravity produces a direct strain
upon these tendons, causing rupture
OF stretching of the annular liga-
meht sufficient to allow them to be
displaced. It is no wonder, then,
that fashionable women waddlo in u
most ungraceful manner when thoy
attempt to walk. They destroy
their comfort to follow ridiculous
fashion, and acquire all ambling
and undignifed movement. People
do things to follow fashion that
their good sense would cause them
to 'bo ashamed Of under any other
circumstances Ladies' wearing
such shoes are often obliged for
safety to 60 down stairs backward !;
and they can be seen every day
descending the steps Of our
fashionable residences in this mans
nor, making pretence Of talking to
some imaginary person in the front
door as on excuse to hide their
awkward movements"

Consumption disk.
ScHENcKs PUIN1oNIc SYRUP will at
once relieve md loosen tight
cough and is such an agreeable
remedy that children will take it
without being coaxed. A cold on
the lungs, if consumption is not
already developed, may bo easily
mastered by the use of tho Pulmonic
Syrup, together with Schenck's
Mandrake Pills to clear tho sys tom
of tho accumulated mucus.
In more serious cases, where the
disease has become deeply seated,
and the patient suffers from loss of
appetite, weakness and emaciation,
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic should
be used in connection with tho
above mentioned remedies, to stimu-
late tho appetite and bring the
digestive powers into healthy action
thereby sustaining tho strength of
tho patient and enabling him to
resist the progress of tho disease
until the Pulmonic Syrup may per-
form it's healing and cleansing

 The District Court will be in session at
 Vest Winsted next week. Winsted is on the ragged edge of another revolution, growing out of the location of the District court room. In 1876, the county commls- sioners contracted with MT. Camp of West Winsted, for five years, for a room in his block, then in process of erection. The room was fitted up as a court room by MT. Camp, with all the necessary lobby rooms, etc, the town of Winchester to pay the rent, $2OO year. In 1877 the new Town Hall on the flat was erected. The fattites, with an eye to business, ss well as q local pride in having the district court in their midst, incorporated in the plan of the build ing, accommodations for the court room. The hall being completed the past season, efforts were made to remove the furniture and location of the court room thereto, the advocates of this measure claiming that the town had a room which the court might oc- cupy free from expense to the town. The West Winsted people contend that Mir. Camp went to considerable expense in fit ting up the room in bis block, and that he has good contract for its occupation for three years longer. Week before last, County commissioner and head Selectman Dutton, of Winchester obtained the keys to the court room in Camps block, and re- moved the furniture back to the new room on the flat. The assistance Of County con- missioners Dunning and Pierpont was so- licited, and they ordered the removal of the furniture back to the old room. The flat tites refused to comply with the order, and the result of the controversy will probably be the purchasing of new furniture and fix tnres for the old room, at all expense of $500, to be defrayed by the town; and a double headed court room, with the Court at West Wjnsted.
