IN 1870 scrofulous Ulcers broke out on my body

Some of these Ulcers were not less than one and
one-half inches IN diameter, the edges rough,
ragged, and seemingly dead, the cavity open to
tue bone and filled with offensive matter. Every
thing known to the medical faculty was tried in
vain Gradually the bone itself became dis

Bone Ulcers began to take the place of those

to look upon life itself as a curse. In the sum-

existence, began to use the Cuticura Remedies,

last Ulcer has healed. The dread disease has

company Is weak in the comedy element. The

P. A. and P. Association

The committee appointed to secure sub
scriptions to new stock of the Peninsular
Agricultural and Pathological Association
made very encouraging report at the
stockholders meeting on Saturday. They
had secured nearly enough subscriptions
to wipe out the debt of the association.
The committee asked to be continued and
expressed the assurance that they could
dispose of the remainder of the stock Of
fered within few weeks. Only enough
stock to pay the debt Of the association IS
to be sold. Once this debt is removed,
which has hung over it since its organiza-
ton, the association will, we have no
doubt, flourish in a way that will please
its managers and stockholders Since the
managers started the movement to free
the society from debt they have met with
great encouragement, particularly from
the old stockholders, many Of whom
doubled their stock There is a strong
sentiment that the Peninsular Agricultural
Association shall live and grow stronger
Those who have been prophesying it's
death did not know the temper of its
friends, and we do not fear to predict that
the first funeral of an agricultural society
that is held on the Peninsula will not be
held at Middletown. The money for
much of the new stock subscribed has al
ready been paid in. The Premium List
for 1888 is being prepared.

LIT. Davis, of Morton, LOST two fin

During the year ending March 5th
the town Of Smyrna paid S479.65 for light
ing her streets, S25O.22 for work on her
streets, and 5000 to her lamp lighter and
policeman.
A Smyrna fur dealer shipped to
market last week $1,000 muskrat 800
rabbit, 225 raccoon, $50 opossum, $50 mink
and three otter skins. The Times says
this was the largest shipment of furs ever
made from Smyrna.

An ELECTRIC Lighter.

We have received from the Portable
Electric Light Company, of Boston, Mas
sachusetts, an ingenious little apparatus
for lighting purposes, which may, in great
measure, supercede matches. 1t is an at
tractive ornament for mantel-piece and,
weighing less than five pounds, may be
carried from room to room at pleasure
The electric current is produced by chem
icals. These are placed in a glass retort.
A carbon and zinc apparatus, with a spiral
platinum attachment is then adjusted so
as to form battery. The mere pressure
of a finger on little knob produces an
electric current by which the spiral OF
platinum is heated to incandescence, re-
sulting in clear white flame. Of course
the contrivance is not an illuminator, but
just what its name would imply, porta-
BILE lighter. A small spirit lamp with the
wick near the point at which the flame is
produced may be instantly ignited, and
there are spirit holders for little torches.
which may be used for lighting lamps or
cigars. The manufacturers claim that
twenty-five cents worth of chemicals will
produce 5000 lights. They furnish an at
tachment to the lighter by which it may
be also converted into burglar alarm, its
special duty being to strike light and
ring a little bell when the burglar enters
the door or window. To the man or wo-
man who habitually gets out of bed three
or four times of night to hunt for burg
lars this apparatus would be worth its
weight in gold. As simple lighter it is
a blessing to all mankind, for who has not
many times in his brief career gone on an
exploring expedition for matches in the
dark and fallen over seven rocking chairs.
or one rocking chair seven times, which is
just as bad, only to find solitary and
unsociable match in the box, and it with
no head on it? Its advantages of safety
and convenience, when compared with
matches, ought to bring the "Portable
Electric Lighter" into popular favor.
This is free and unsolicited notice we are
giving it, for we are willing to do almost
anything in our power to encourage a con-
trivance that promises to drive out of use
in the household the old-fashioned. had
smelling, eight-hour blue-headed match
or that swapping, red-headed internal ma
chine, Familiarity known as the parlor
match. The lighter costs five dollars,

The Lyceum.

The Irving Lyceum had very pleasant
meeting on Monday evening. About sixty
persons were present. President Lewis
was unavoidably kept away and DR.. Ken
nedy presided. Several new members
were received. The evening was devoted
principally to answers to questions per-
tanning to English literature or important
historical events by which the literature
of early England was directly or indirectly
influenced. The exercises were very en-
tertaining and instructive. The period
covered by the questions was that known
as the Anglo-Saxon period. Questions
covering another period were given out to
be answered two weeks hence. The audi
ence was entertained by pleasing instru-
mental music played by Miss Lille Maui
dain and Miss Jessie Wilson. Original
papers, select readings and music are
promised for next Monday evening. All
who are interested in the society's work
will be welcomed at any Of its meetings.
