THE rsK OF FRUITS IN CURING DIS

TIE CsE or FRUITS IN CURING DISEASE
A writer in the Herald Of Health makes
a strong statement regarding the use OF ripe
fruit in diseases. We cannot say it Is not
true and vet We should apply the fruit
cure with some precautions. He says
There is scarcely a disease to which the
human family is heir. bu, the suferlngs
therefrom would be greatly relieved by the
use Of the very fruits which are now so
strictly forbidden. Further, many Of these
diseases would be conducted to a safe ter
minaiion under the free use of fruits, he

bors undertook to restrain him, and
tried to argue the intent on self-de-
struetion out of his mind, but could
not, and he all at once escaped them,
and went to the woods, and from that

men have searched for him. He is
about rs years old, well situated with
daughter, and no other reason than
insanity can be assigned for the deed.

This may be out of place, but we feel
like delivering short exhortation THE
morning, and shalt take for our sub
ject, stop and think" Stop and
think, before repeating about another
what would grieve you to hear said of
your sister or friend. There's griev-
Gus faint in many of mother Ewes
children, which is the love of scandal.
Stop and think. What good can pos
sibly come of repeating q story which
often is founded In some imaginative
gossip loving brain? Will it bring you
self respect? Will good people respect
you more? Very often in some mys-
terious way a rumor is set aHoat on the
tide of social life which if it could be
sifted, would soon prove to be utterly
false. Would it not then be better to
stop and think ? try and sift the true
from the false before sowing the seed
of scandal broadcast? Would it not
be better, even were it all true, not to
repeat what would give another pain ?
II instead Of repeating the matter to
this one and that, we would go to the
offender, and kindly admonish and ad-
wise, many an otherwise ruined char
acter might be preserved, many a
nearly broken heart healed. In the
Word we read, "He that covereth a
transgression seeketh love, but he that
repeateth a matter separateth many
friends" The tongue is an unruly
member" Let us watch it closely and
try and do by others as we would have
them do by us were we in like circum-
stances. IA. NJ.

The nomination by the Republicans
of Essex county, VT, of Mr.. Chas. A.
Hutchinson for one of the two Assist
ant Judges, is one eminently fit and
proper. Mr. Hutchinson is man capa-
BILE in every way of filling the position,
and if elected, as no doubt he will be,
he will have the confidence and trust
of the entire county. A former resi-
dent of Colebrook, known and appre-
ciated as an honest man and staunch
Republican, Mr.. Hutchinson may feel
assured of the hearty good wishes of
his friends on this side of the river for
his success, as he will have the hearty
and unanimous support of his friends

Next week we will publish General
Garfield's letter, accepting the nomina-
ton conferred upon him by the Re-
publican National Convention at Chi
cago. 1t is model document, setting
forth in crisp, clean cut sentences the
views of statesman on the great ques-
tions of the day. There isno opportu-
nifty to misunderstood General Gar
fields position. 1t is not hid or made
uncertain by cunningly devised meta
phors or ambiguous sentences. His
letter, like the whole history and .har.
acter of the man, is open and frank,
manly and above reproach. 1t will
commend itself to every candid mind
and endure the crucial test of time.
We have used and seen in operation
Josh Henshaw's Patent Stump Extract
or and Elevator, and in our judgment it
is an application of power superior to
any other known for extractingstumps
and lifting stones and other heavy ar
ticles. While it is carried from place
to place with ease, and is readily and
quickly adjusted, the most unyielding
stump is taken out with it. One ad-
vantage this has over anything else of
the kind we have seen, is that it is SO
arranged that the power is applied by
several distinct motions of the lever,
easily accomplished, land what's acquir-
ed by each movement is saved; besides
it operated with an almost incredibly
small amount of manual labor.
