 shall have batch of missing fingers to write of and haggled ankles to mourn over.
 Work on the new house at Hawes' Point goes on rapidly. We believe we have never done much free advertising under the plea of correspon- dence but we cannot refrain from mentioning the fact that posters have been plastered on to rocks, and trees, telephone poles and fences 1 stating in big letters that 'Malarial diseases can be, in all cases, prevented. and often cured by the use of Wiener Beer! It is the l only medically prepared lager beer in the WORLD, and has nc equal for medicinal or | ter per cent of alcohol, which is one half less than IS contained in cider, and is in nose'sse l an nstorseating 6e0erage. It aids digestion, and if taken with meals is surg preceattUe ot feuer and agae and agl naa1aria! diseases. Price 1 one dollar per dozen bottles - -, sole agent, New Milford, Conn" Neigh ho ! l Now that reads mighty nice and no mistake, 1 but we can't help exclaiming. Physician,
 heal thyself!" We have no need of "Wiener Beer in New Preston even if it was ''sure preventive in all cases,' but, as much hub- bub as New Milford makes over it's malaria, we should think it would take aitsown medi- cine. Why wouldn't it be good idea to in- vest the large sun of money -raised. tohbuild 1 drains and sewers, inv iener Beer and let the l drains go Health above all things, should 1 be it's motto Let's have schooner" There were several couples of young folks took trip to Steep Rock, Saturday af- ternoon. It was fine day and they had a 1 fine time.
 Well, ''Little Ghonne" you've gone to | keeping house in real earnest, eh /? It will be l fun this summer, but next winter, O, how we shall pity you You'll have to split all the l Kindlings, and when, with the mercury below zero, you are endeavoring t, build the fire, you'll hear from the inner depths of the next room, John, don't forget to fill that kettle and get and peel some potatoes, and cut two slices of ham, too, and remember to fetch a pail of water. Dye hcar?" Then yon'll go out, milk seven cows, come in and find nc breakfast and not a soul up in the house. Mark our worus it will be fun. l Last Sunday morning Rev. Mr Lanca
 shire preached his valedictory sermon. The pulpit and it's surroundings were beautifully
 decorated with flowers and evergreens and ferns, the handiwork of O. w. Newcome oi
 Providence, R. l., who is visiting at Mrs. A.
 M. Whittlesey's He displayed excellent
 taste in the arrangement of flowers. The
 words Farewell" and ''mizpah" were made
 wholly of daisies but they were nevertheless
 striking. The pyramids and the letters l.. N
 of different coiored flowers showed Mir. New
 comes skill as well ae fine taste in such mat ! ters. In the evening there was a Sabbath
 school concert. The children recited then 1 little pieces, there was singing, two short
 speeches by Rev. Mir. Upson and Lancashire
 and two poems of farewell addressed to MT l Lancashire whose connection with this parish l is severed July 1st, one by Miss Fanny Lem l mon and one by o. w. Newcome. They were
 lots of other pleasan: things done also bu,
 they are to numerous to mention. and time
 and space are too valuable.
