No family should be without ALLcoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs; their healing powers
are wonderful aud their efficacy for reach

seen and known them to cure and relieve
the most obstinate and distressing cases
of rheumatism, kidney complaint, bron-
chitls, neuralgia, iumbago, Inflammation
of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma,
spinal weakness, and coughs and colds
In my own case they have afforded me al
most instant and permanent relief. My
friends consider them an invaluable and
speedy remedy for all kinds OF aches and
pains. They are blessing in disguise;
and no wife or mother should be without
them If she values her peace and comfort
and freedom from nervous exhaustion and
other ailments. AS strengthening plast-
er, also for backaches aud weakness, they
have no equal. have never yet found
plaster so efllcacious and stimulating, or

The Coming Fair.

AT STAFFORD STRINGS Ger. 10TH AND 11TH.
 The beautiful stallion, Thomas Jefferson, the sight of whom always awakens lovers of horse flesh to enthusiasm, will again be exhibited at the fair, accompanied by a large number of fine young horses sired by him.
 The officers of the society will meet on the fair grounds on Saturday at 3 p. m., to make final arrangements for the fair.
 There is some delay in issuing the bills, as one or two leading attractions are yet open to consideration. The bill when is- sued will promise good deal, and the so- ciety always gives all it promises-and more too.
 Though it is the policy of the society to furnish fresh attraction each year, the pressure to have the balloon ascension of last year repeated is so strong that it is not unlikely that favorable action may be tsken at the directors meeting next Sat- urday.
 Another grand stand will be built, seats on which will be sold at 50 cts., to be re- served for the buyer during the entire fair.
 Next week we can give nearly 8 full list of the special features of the fair, and it will be long one.

An unusual case has come up in the su- perior court of the province of Ontario. Hitherto color prejudices have troubled Canadians but little. There is an exten- sive colored settlement near Windsor, Els sex county, and several colored schools flourish there. One day last week a wealthy colored man named J. l.. Dunn sent his child to the Central school, Windsor, a grade in advance of the common school. The entrance of the oolored pupil was the signal for general rebellion of the white pupils, who protested so strongly that the head master found himself compelled to exclude her from the school. This raised the indignation of the colored people res in motion, and mandamus has been ap- piled for to compel the authorities to ad- init the young girl to all the privileges of the school

REPEATED. This year of 1883 will be re- membered for it's laggard spring, cool sum- mer, and early frosts. Half a million dollars damage has been done, in Connecticut and the region just north of us, by early September frosts. Monday night brought ruinous frost; slghter ones have followed, and now, on the morning of September 10, there comes another sharp one. This one has about ''fn- ished up' what tobacco still remained uncut and good deal did remain, because, owing to the backward season, it had not matured sufficiently for housing Hundreds of tobac- co-growers, along the lower Connecticut, are sufferers by the frost, and will not be ss well of, in the aggregate by hundreds of thous- snds of dollars, as they would, had the season been 8 warm and late one, this fall, as every body expected. It is to be regretted, but it can't be helped. There has been no such spring, summer, and (thus far) autumn, since the year 1816-the memorable ''year without a summer,' which was much worse than this year, the corn failing to ripen, everywhere in New England, and frosts every month. The tobacco crop seemed to be an unusually good one, this year-giving promise of superior quality and good price. Perhaps 8 little more than half of it has been saved.-Hortford Tixaes

One Parrett of Brooklyn, N.
