A Farmers Terrible Experience.

Augustus Parker, highly respected resi- dent of MontvilIe and widely known in New London county, had narrow escape from terrible death recently. With his OK team he repaired alone to the wood to get 8 medium sized log. He selected a tree and cut it of at the butt, when by reason of a large grapevine which was intertwined with it's limbs and those of the other trees it refused to fall in the desired direction, and canting suddenly, fell across the space where MT. Parker was stand ing, knocking him down and pinning him to
 the ground, lying directly across his knees
 After remaining in this position for some length'of time, Mir. Parker managed by sacri- fcing portion of the flesh on one leg, to work 1t from under the log, but found that the other was so securely fastened that it was impossible to move it. The pain of the injuries became intense, and as he was long distance from human habitation,

Dr. Olmstead on Friday evening next will give the first of his sLenten lectures" in Trim ity church.
 The change which has been lately made in the Congregational church from evening to af ternoon service does not seem to be appreci ated by some of the younger members, who, for some good reasons, prefer an evening meeting.
 On Tuesday evening MT. Abbott Page will deliver the second lecture in the course by 'tBranford young men," at the Opera House.
 Every rain makes it evident to pedestrians that Branford is deficient in good sidewalks and street crossings. The Village Improve ment Society has made good walk to the Town Hall and there is one from the Toto ket to the Episcopal church, but to reach either there is discouraging depth of street mud to be passed through. concrete walk in front of some of the fine residences on Main street might be good example, which would be followed by others to the great benefit of the public.

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh, explains the following important facts l. That Catarrhal Colds become a poi soncus infection; at first local, and finally constitutional.
 2. That, being Constitutional, the infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies. 8. That impurities in the nostrils, necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning tho Digestive, Respiratory and Genitourinary organs. 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu- cous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhna, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea. and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations, and Inso1uble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the organs named 6. That an antidote for Catarrh must pos sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon theso plain theories, Dr. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible. It not only relieves, it cures Catarrh at any stage. Home testimony: Cured !! Cured ] Cured l Cured w.D, wooDs, 4s7 Broadway, NY, Cured of Chronic

THE rolling mills in Columbia have
shut down because of the unwillingness
of the workmen to accept a reduction In
their wages. This is all nonsense on
their part. They know very well that
the price of manufactured iron does not
warrant the payment of the rate OF
wages they have been lately receiving.
The interests of employer and employed
in this business are the same. Iron must
be made here at price which will secure
to the home trade the entire supply of the
home demand. Foreign importation must
cease. The only way to stop it IS to
make iron here at price which will
make it improbable to import iron.
There must be lowering of the cost ;
labor must share in the reduction mill
owners must accept smaller profit ;
carrying companies must charge lower
freights. When the country gets to that
condition that labor and capital are fairly
but not extravagantly rewarded, it will
become really prosperous and the manu-
factories will run steadily.

Mr.. KEMBLE thinks that he is safe in

dare to grant requisition for him. We
think it likely that Mr.. Kemble is right.
A convicted criminal who has it in his
power to cause SO many other souls to
suffer by speaking out is very safe in
Jersey against any effort of those souls to
bring him near a Pennsylvania court of
justice. While the governors secretary
of state was the criminals confederate
in his crime, it is safe to predict that the
governors requisition will not disturb
Mr.. Kemble's Jersey peace. If Gov.
Hoyt desired to have clean skirts in this
matter he would invite Mr.. Quay out.
As long as he don't, Mr.. Kemble is safe.

possible to imagine from any disposition
