DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. AMERICAN KNIFE CoMpA-
 Ny's WORKS AGAIN BURNT.

Early Sunday morning the works of the American. Knife Company, near Reynolds Bridge, were discovered to be on fire; and, in spite of all efforts to save the building, it was burnt to the ground. Eighty hands are thrown out of employment, and the loss is about $2O, 900; insurance, $14, 900. Indications point to the conclusion that it was the work of an in- cendiary. It is less than year since the works of this company were burnt. Aftert three months had passed, the energetic manager of the con- pany had new building under way, and a great many improvements were made in build- ing and machinery on the old works. Last November the company commenced to make knives and have kept increasing the help until it was about up to the old standard

''lt is nipping, and an eager air. Ten perance meetings seem to absorb all else, and we are engulfed and nearly strangled by the temperance wave which is sweeping over us. The meetings have been held every night in the Congregational church which has been crowd ed. A great many men who were and always have been temperate have signed the pledge, and some who haven't always been so temper ate. In fact, if all who have signed the pledge will only keep it, the rum business will be the dullest business in New Preston, which, ex- cuse me, ye men of business, would make it non ext. Much good has been done thus far. and we hope more will be. Prof Bradford has read "Under the snow,", 1.-The Vagabonds" and "Kit Carson's Ride," thus far, and there is more to follow. Mir. Hill and Brady have done their parts, and so the exciting work goes on. Saturday night, MT. NJ. L. Delevan, of the Ray, was among the speakers, and spoke well, too. He said it required different means to effect different men, Sound logic brings over some; financial points of view, others; appeal ing to the better part of man, others; and 8 good deal of excitement, others, we suppose.

AN ASTONISHING FAcT-A large propor- tion of the American people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try It's virtues, with satisfactory. results in every case. You can buy sample bottle for ten cents to try.
