Mortified Items.

The Dog River Valley Fair Association held
meeting In this place, at the secretary's office,
ON Saturday, March 4th. The committee appointed
to revise the premium list made report. That
part Of the report relating to horse trots was not
satisfactory to all, and discussion ensued which
lasted all the afternoon; and without adopting
any part of the report, the meeting was adjourned
two weeks, when 1t is hoped full attendance
will be secured. on Tuesday afternoon q lot OF
our "innocents " took job OF snowbaling A. T.
Dana and his team. After they had succeeded In
getting the horse into lively "run." MIR. Dana
jumped from the sleigh, caught one Of the hood
lums named Tom McCarty, and gave him a
sound thrashing and let him go. Soon after
McCarty got sled stake and came for Dana again.
Sheriff Avery came along then, and just In sea-
son TO prevent more serious fight than the other,
and McCarty went to the lookup for the night.
The next day the poor boy was taken before JUS
tce Averill on a complaint for drunkenness, was
fined 80 and costs, which he must pay within
sixty days II he can, and was then discharged.
The chances now are that II McCarty pays this
fine, other boys will be in danger of arrest for
similar diversions. Our readers are again re-

Why does everybody take spring medicine?
For three good reasons viz: % Because one
bottle OF a blood-purifer taken at this season will
do more good than two at any other, (2) Be
cause the blood IL in a more impure condition
than at any other season (3l Because the sys-
tenn is 30 weakened by this impure state OF the
blood that it has not sufficient vitality to with
stand the facilitating effects OF spring weather.
Hence, by common consent people seek relief in
medicine. The combination OF Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla commends it to our judgment as a good
spring medicine and blood purifier. Such things
as sarsaparila, yellow dock, mandrake etc, COM
pounded by competent druggists like Messrs.
Hood & Co, warrant us in suggesting that all in
need of a medicine OF this kind give Hoods Sar-
saparlla a trial

AMONG the many excellent fertilizers used In
our state there is none which stands higher than
the phosphate made by the Quinnipiac Fertilizer
Company Of New London, Conn, advertised on
the first page OF this paper, In the pamphlet
issued by them this season there are testimonials
from between one and two hundred farmers in
Vermont alone, who testify to its superior value,
Where competitive trials have been made with
other phosphates it has invariably proved itself
second to none. The well known character OF
the company il a guarantee that all the brands 1t
puts on the market will be thoroughly and hon
estly made. Give it a trial The guaranteed
analysis is stamped on each bag
