A Blue Grass Letter.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

AND1ANAEO4uo, ANA.3
 Oct 22, 1882.
 DEAR Cor. We left Huntingdon Wednesday morning, after visit at Col Emmons long to be remembered by me and 1t was with many regrets said goodbye to the Col and his family. Col E. came with us as far as Ashland, Ky. which is quite 8 large town with extensive nail works and blast furnaces in full operation After leaving Ashland we found the country mountainous and very poor, few coal mines and saw mills which we passed on the way were about the only indications of business or enterprise we saw. The houses were mostly built of logs and looked very poor. At Mount Sterling, which is town of two or three thousand inhabi- tants, we struck the Blue Grass country. At Winchester which is in the heart of it,we left the train and found Col Lum, chief engineer of the l.. < B. s. R. R. and Carlton Emmons, the station agent on the look out for us. Col Lum and MT. Emmons took carriage and drove us out over fine macadamized road to see some of the fine farms. The farms are large, from 500 to 5000 acres and every acre worth from $175 to $2OO. I thought had seen fine farms before but I found I was entirely mistaken The fields were full of fine fat cattle and many sheep, and more grass in the pas lures than we cut on our best river bot toms at home We took the train at 6 the next morning and came on to Lex ington, had breakfast and would have stopped over and seen the town but it was raining quite fast and so we came on to Lairs station. At this place we spent few hours at sale of fancy short horned cattle which were certain l ly some of the finest ever saw. There was large crowd, excellent lunch &c. and we enjoyed it ever so much. We | arrived at Cincinnati about in the even 1 ing where we found carriage waiting for US and we went directly to the resi- dence of Capt. Houshall. We received cordial welcome from the Capt and Mrs. H. and were very hospitably treated i during our stay. Spent Friday looking around the city, visited many places of interest and came on to Indianapolis Friday night. Saturday morning found me sick abed but Doctor Walker fixed me up and we thought we had better spend Sunday here. I attended service at Christ's church this morning. The MUSIC was very Ino anu the u0ar OlQ ser vice never seemed so impressive to me before. really felt as though I was home again. This afternoon we drove out to the cemetary and found it a fine one and credit to any city. We also saw all we could of the place and was very much pleased with both place and people. There are many fine buildings here especially the Capitol, Court house, Opera house and several hotels. We leave at 12 tonight for Chicago. ] think will spend one day there and then go home. We have found in all the places we have visited many nice people and have been treated very kind ly. Especially at the Grand hotel where I was sick, they could not do enough fol me.

BERKSHIRE COUNTY.

There was quite 8 time at the A. M. B. Church Sunday evening, the 18th inst. When the time for opening the meeting came, Mr. Ackworth, of the Ackworth Branch of the church, stepped into the pulpit, and was followed by Rev. MT. Cloyd, who is the regular pastor. This was too much for some of the colored brethren. Dr. Freeman demanded that Mr. Ackworth descend. This he refused to do. They then sent for constable. In the meantime there was pretty live ly time i'll the church and it looked as if there might be fight, but sheriff Rora- back was soon on the ground and com handed Ackworth to descend from his lofty position, which he did without further ado. No further trouble occurred till near the close of the meeting, when he arose and expressed 8 few of his sen timents in regard to the Cloyd Branch of the church. He was soon quieted and the meeting dismissed. There was also some racket between the preachers at the church in the forenoon.
 There is curious sickness in the town of Zoar on the Deerfeld river near the Hoosac tunnel. The Lenox Iron com pany has large tract of woodland there, where at certain seasons 1t burns char coal in three large brick kilns. When the kilns are active, death is also. Peo- pie whose homes are within half @ mile or so of the furnaces become debilitated, run down, get coughs, throat troubles, and so on, and in @ number of cases the sufferers have died-so many of them as to create very lively sense of danger among the rest. The peculiarity is that when the kilns are not active the trouble does not appear, but singular circum- stances is that the men working at the kilns are not affected The theory is that gasses ascend, and then come down at a little distance from the furnace. The owners of the works regard the notion as ridiculous that any harm comes from the charcoal, but the residents think that is the cause of 1t all
 Testimony introduced in rebuttal in the malarial case last week contradicted few minor points sworn to by witnesses for the defense. Prof. Hills of New Haven had analysed the water of the river and found traces of the Pittsfeld sewerage for a mile and quarter below the Pomeroy mills, but none beyond that. The evidence being all in, the court at noon adjourned till Monday, when the pleas will begin. The case will hardly get to the jury before to-day, and predictions of disagreement are free ly made.
 Charles w. Pinney of Mill River was fined $1O0 and costs for each of two cases of illegal liquor selling one day last week in the Great Burlington district court, and he appealed.

Obituary.
AUSTIN A. SPAULDING,

@AOA~@>AA'S1
 Whose death occurred in Norfolk, Mon day, Oct. 18th, deserves more than pass ing note, he being prominently identified with the interests of the town of his adop- tion, and where he has lived for many years. MT. Spaulding was born at New Marlboro, Mass, Feb. IS, 1919, and at the age of eleven years was appren- ticed to an uncle who was farmer liv ing in Norfolk, Conn.,, with whom he lived until 1884. When of age he com menced the world for himself, and soon after married Louisa J., daughter of Freeman Hart of Norfolk, by whom he had four children Sarah E., Adelaide E., William A., and Frederick s. Sarah B. married James l.. Bragg, now of Canaan. MT. Spaulding represented his town in the Legislature in 1852. In 1854 he connected himself with com pany manufacturing machinery. In 1858 the company reorganized, and com menced the manufacture of hoes for the Southern States, until the beginning of the late war, when they became pros trated. The company then began mak- ing Springfield muskets for the gov ernment: in this they were successful At the end of one year of the latter busi- ness, MT. Spauldlng withdrew from the firm and turned his attention to farming and stock-raising. He has many times held the position of selectman, and other town offices was director in the old Norfolk Bank was also appointed one of the receivers of the same. At the time of his death he was trustee of the Norfolk Savings Bank. MT. Spaulding has held numerous offices in the Con- gregational Church, of which he was an active member. In his death his fam fly lose an affectionate husband and kind parent, the needy friend, and the community man of pure life, great dignity of manner and strict integrity. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Eddy of Canaan, at his late residence, and was largely attended by relatives and friends of the deceased.

NARROW ESCAPE

Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Bladder
 Large Stoned Removed by "Ken.
 nedy's Fav rite Remedy"
 From the Pttsj1eld (Mass) Eagle.
 Stone in the Bladderis . very dangerous ail- ment: but many most remarkable cures have o1 late been wrought by "Kennedy's Fayorite Reme- dy"-the invention of Dr. Kennedy of Rom dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. MT. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Maas., states in e letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for N years, and had consulted at different times seven physi. clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January Mir. Lawler called on Dr. Ksn- nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone" He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" so as if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones | will send them to you" This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler1 The stones, which are SO large as to war rant for "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy the claim discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally Mr. Lawler also states that the Fav. orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of . stubborn case of Rheumatismi and it is fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the iveror urinary organs 1t is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.
