BENEFACTORs.

When board of eminent physicians and
chemists announced the discovery that by COM
bining some well known valuable remedies, the
most wonderful medicine was produced, which
would cure such wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dispensed
with, many were sceptical; but proof of its
merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt,
and today the dscoverers of that great medi

The new cork floor covering
has ingratiated itself so rapidly into public fav-
or that it is superceding all appliances hereto
fore employed for like purpose. It's most re-
markable feature is it's extraordinary durabil-
ity''; in this respect no other floor covering can
compare with it. 1t is equally desirable for
dining rooms, halls, churches and every varie-
ty of building. Kept by all frst-class carpet
dealers. The only genuine article has "LINo-

PROVIDING UoR ONES OLD AGE, with the GER
tainty that the income will not fail, is the am
bition OF all men. The temerity that besets
stock, bond. savings bank and cooperative in
vestments, aud the anxiety that follows chest.
locked governments, destroys very much of the
happiness that forehandedness should bring.
But here is cure for these ills in the oppor-
tunity the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York offers. A deposit with it secures a
regular stipulated payment each three six or
twelve months. There can be no question as
to the ability and integrity of the company to
fulfill all its promises. 1t has over eighty-fve
millions accumulated assets in the life insur-
ance business, and now, by this annuity plan,
will equally popularize the thrift and fore
thought that will lay up a sum beyond the
reach of business misfortunes, that will keep
old age in undisturbed security and repose. See
advertisement in another column.

Honor 10 a Coed Man.

A large and warm. hearted party filled the
house of DR.. Carruthers last evening to COM
memorate his seventy eighth birthday. The
company was chiefly composed of the Dr.'s
parishioners, but few friends outside his par
ish were SO fortunate as to know of the meet.
ing and to testify by their presence their re.
spect for the venerable minister. Indeed had
1t been generally known that his birthday was
to be observed in this manner, no house would
have been able to contain the number of those
who would have been glad to manifest their
appreciation of the admirable qualities which
have made him the good citizen as well as the
good minister. His upright and sturdy main
tenance of all good things, his great strength of
mind and will, his unsparing coude mnation of
all bad. base and mean things, his dignity and
self-respect his stately, gracious, old-school
courtesy, his independence and manliness of
character have attracted to him the profound
respect and veneration of all who abhor that
which is evil aud turn to that which is good.
The Influence of such man could not be con-
fined to the limits Of his own parish. He has
impressed himself strongly on the community
before which he has gone in and out these
many years.
The assembly last night was an entire sur
prise to DR.. Carruthers. He knew nothing of
it Until evening and was naturally profoundly
affected by this outpouring of expressions of
love and respect. He had been out of town in
the afternoon and during his absence the house
was beautifully decorated with flowers and
notices. Above his picture n the parlor was
the inscription 1SOO-1S7S, the dates of his first
nd ntu. ohtb hirth6au IN fho Obi
der this was an elegant birthday cake, with a
suitable inscription, the gift of his daughter.
After the preliminary greetings were over,
Rev. Daniel Green, in behalf of the guests,
presented, with appropriate remarks, hand
some French clock to the Doctor, and pair of
beautiful vases to his daughter. Dr. Carruth-
ers made response for both so full of appre-
ciative feeling as to deeply move all his audi
tors. A letter from George FL. Quincy of Bos-
ton was read and the following verses were re-
cited with excellent expression by Miss Ella
Woodbury.:
Lord, our hearts to Thee we lift:
Comes from Thee each perfect gift!
That Thy hand dost open wide
All Thy creatures are supplied.
Daily bread for daily need
Hungry souls our God doth feed,
For the Bread of Life we raise,
Lord, our sweetest notes of praise!
Pastors, teachers, placed by Thee
In Thy earthly courts, we see;
Heralds of the Heavenly King,
Words of life from Thee they bring.
For our pastor, true and tried,
Be Thy goodness magnifed,
He tor years, Thy flock has fed,
Breaker of the Heavenly bread.
Ever valiant for the truth.
Faithful guide OF tender youth,
Watchful by the dying bed,
Lifting up the mourner's head.
Give him fourfold, Lord, this day,
For his love to us, we pray,
Till the earthly victory won,
He shall hear the sweet "well done!'
