How are the mighty fallen.
Rev MIR. Hoyt, of Newtown, very &C
ceptably filed our pulpit, last Sunday. He
preached an excellent sermon from the follow
ing words found in l, Thessalonians, 5:23: Il
pray God your whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blalneless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ
Miss Helen Curtiss and Mrs. Curtiss, of
Meriden, are visitors at Mr.. Sherman Cogs-
wells
John Lyman, from New York, arrived
Saturday night to make his friends few days
visit. Like all New Preston boys he can't
stay away entirely, but spends his vacation in
his native place.
He's polite clerk, that fellow at the
post office. AS he was carrying big hunk
of ice the other day he spied two-horse load
of Workers. coming, and as they passed him
the innate politeness of his nature immensely
manifested ITSELF We've no doubt but that
he intended to make a profound bow worthy
of Beau Tibbs himself, but alas as he bent
his back his foot struck a protruding stone,
which with the weight of the ice got the better
of bis equilibrium and with wild lurch to
recover it he performed series of extraordi-
nary gymnastic movements wonderful to every
beholdcr. 1t was an indescribable picture to
see the ice in the dust and the obsequious
clerk groveling beside it, as well as an impress
sive instance of pride going before fall.
Miss Jennie Bushnell, of Po'keepsie, N,
Y, is the guest of Rev. Henry Epson.
Mr.. Henry Lennon and wife, of Men,
phis, Tenn, are spending few weeks at his
brothers, A. c. Lennon.
Mr.. Mills Whttlesey, a graduate of
Rochester University, who has recently mar
ried an Ohio ladv, a graduate of Oberlin Col
lege, arrived, last Friday, for weeks visit
at his fathers and among his many friends.
Mr. Whittlesey and wife have been engaged
as teachers in Maplewood Institute at Pitts
field, Mass. Mr.. Whittlesey 1--WE suppose we
Latin and Mathematics, and Mrs. Whittlesey,
Greek and French. They have lately been
studying at the Amherst school of languages
and are abundantly qualified for their posi-
tons. AS an old friend and school-mate of
Mr.. Whittlesey, we wish him, and his, health,
wealth and success.
We, as we'll as great many others,
climbed the towering hills of Bromica, last
Sunday, because it had been announced that
Rev. T. L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, would preach
at o'clock, p. m, at Epson Seminary camp
atSeuth Spectacle lake. Bromica is hard
road to travel. 1t is all the way up to 60
there, and all the way down to return, but we
were well paid, 1t was a pleasant afternoon
and the ride was worth its trouble, besides
from the highest point at a certain length Of
the highway, can be had one of the finest
views of Waramaug Lake to be obtained any,
where. This beautiful picture of hill-envlron
ed lake and valley below was well worth the
climb and it seems strange that no enterpris-
ing Yankee photographer haseve yet brought
his lenses to focus upon it. But the sermon
was worth going farther on a rougher road to
listen to, and we should judge that two hun
dred persons were present. The text was,
'He maketh the desert and waste places to
blossom as the rose" From these words he
drew such wholesome lessons fer life as
would, if followed transform earth to Heav-
en-. 1t was forcible and eloquent exhorta-
ton to all to let their lives, tho naturally des-
erts and waste places, be so watered and irr-
gated by trust in God and His grace as to be
made to blossom like the rose. The occasion
seemed to be fruitful source of small acct
dents. G. w. Pickett came near having a
runaway. While coming down the ''heights"
the neck yoke broke, and let the carriage upon
the heels of the horses, but, as good luck
would have it, they were stopped before fur
ther damage was do'e. The wheels of G. P.
Lyman's vehicle 'set' and refused to move
until he procured bottle of oil of neighbor-
ing farmer and fabricated the axles; and A.
Cable had the ill-luck to break the axle Of his
wagon and was obliged to borrow another of
a near resident to get home with, but it was
sermon worth all this trouble nevertheless
There was an astonshed postmaster at
Marketable, last week. He received in the
mail or valuable looking package which, upon
opening, he found to his great amusement to
contain four lively and very active bull-frogs.
When he seized the broom aud undertook to
sweep them out of the office, they jumped
about with such alacrity that all the spectators
smiled broad grin. They were probably
meant as an addition to his collection of zoo
logical curiosities.
On Sunday the steamboat ploughed the
waters of Waramaug lake all day to carry
passengers to and from the grand clau. bake
at Holy Springs. The clam bakers were
large party from Litchfeld and elsewhere,
and at Holy springs toe, think of it, They
should have held their carnival on some shore
of less sacred name. Our Sundays are fast
becoming like those at Coney Island and
Rockaway Beach, alas Pen DRAGON.
A CAPITAL SUBsTITUTE.-Once a man
searched through what is now the State of
Florida to find fountain he had heard was
there, which was able to make an old person
young again. He failed. We can't be boys
or girls again. Age and infrmity are sure to
come, bat God did not ordain sickness. That
is our fault. There is no fountain of Youth.
but there is fountain of Health, and its other
name is DR.. David Kennedy's ''Favorite Rem
edy." 1t comes from Nature-fiom the fields
and flowers, aud like them is every good"
Ity it for all Complaints of Women, Blood
Troubles and pains and aches everywhere.
If you can't get 1t at the store send Oae Dol
lar for bottle to the Doctor at Rondout N.
