Barking i'm Church.

"dEAHHS
 Nothing so offends the sensibilities of an earnest preacher of gospel truth as the pro longed and simultaneous barking and cough ing by the youth of his congregation who happen to have slight colds. The administra- ton of Roberts Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cherry is clearly suggested for the cor rection of such an annoyance. Pleasant in color, odor and taste, children like it and it always cures their cough. It is equally good for that distressful trouble, the minister's sore throat Sample bottle ten cents, large size fifty cents.

 Edward P. Judd favored the petition for a sewer in College street, between Grove and Wall streets.
 George Gabriel and John W. filling appeared in reference to petition they had presented asking for relief from the assessment for the George street sewer, between Day andDwight streets They claimed the assessments laid were excessive and unjust.

 In executive session the committee disposed of the business before them as follows: The petition for sewer in College street was granted. The petition for relief from sewer assessments on George street were given leave to withdraw. The petitions for sewer in William street was laid on the table until the next meeting.

MALLBYS| During the Next 80 Days, and Save Themselves by so Doing at Least 30 Per Cent. Within the last ten years an un- usual interest has been taken in all matters which relate to the comfort and adornment of our homes. Books, essays and criti- cisms have been written on house furnishing and decoration, and they have been valuable contribu- tions to the wants of the times.
 Numerous as the opportunities are for household decoration, the fairest and widest field for it's dis play is offered in the coverings of walls. Here the eye naturally rests, and here is the place of all others best adapted for effective ornamentatiOn. To paint interi- ors acceptably involves a large ex- penditure. In WALL PAPERS there exists positive artistic mer- it, and by their use a better effect can be obtained at less expense than IS possible by any other means. In Europe, as is well known, where the best specimens of inte- rior decorations are found, the a1- most universal custom is to paper the walls. Beautiful designs and exquisite colorings are produced, adapted to the requirements of any room. We intend to make 8 speciality of Fine Goods, which shall embrace the following: GOLD GROUNDED PAPERS. 1 Plain and COlOred BrOnzes l Embossed Gilt and Mica Papers,
