DR.. Dio LOWS in his magazine
gives a rule for the cure of stam-
mering, which is certainly simple
enough, and which the Doctor says
has cured three fourths of all the
cases he has treated, The STAN
merer is made to mark the time in
his speech, just as it is ordinarily
done in singing. At first he is to
beat on every syllable, He sould
begin by reading one of the Psalms,
striking the finger on the knee at
every word. "Time can be mark
ed, says the Doctor "by striking
the fingeron the knee, by hitting the
thumb against the forefnger, or by
moving the large toe in the boot. 7"
The writer belives the worst case OF
suffering can be cured if the victim
will read an hour every day. with
thorough practice of this remedy,
and observing the same in his con-
versation.

 At East Canaan cemetery the Post were addressed by Rev MT Thompson whose remarks were patriotic and ap propriate. It is hoped that next Me morial day our citizens will close theil places of business, at least while me morial exercises are taking place. It il justly due M Shultz to mention tht fact that he closed his place of busines, during the day, and went with the Pos1 and citizens to the different cemeteries thus showing his respect for the veter ans and their deceased comrades. Tht absence of some members of tn. Post was noticed and regretted. AS W, listened to the speeches in Village I'm provement hall, this sad thought came to mind. The members of the G A I must decrease while the number of sol diers' graves must increase, in a fev years all the veterans will occupy sol diers' graves. None will be living t.
 honor their departed comrades memory
 This duty will then devolve upon tn boys and young men who are now com : ing on the stage of action, and who ar
 to guard and perpetrate the glorious in stitutions of our country. In view 0 this solemn fact, it behooves us to edu cate our boys to realization of the du
 ties that will soon devolve upon them To instill into their minds by precep and example patriotic sentiments an, , principles and prepare them to take ou
 places and yearly assemble, honor tn soldiers memory and decorate the so diers' graves.

IF THE citizens of Connecticut choose to dodge the tramp question, they will find themselves unable to dodge the tramps. In another column of this paper will be found an able article con- corning tramps. It is from the editorial pen of the New Hartford Tribune and we think all should read it and appre- ciate the timely warning given. It is, however, very strange that this state of affairs exist. Every town is bewailing the presence of tramps, yet they seem to overlook the fact that they are sitting with folded hands, waiting for neigh boring towns to arrest and imprison the trarnps. Let every town do it's du- ty and in A hours every tramp in the state would be under lock and key. North Canaan will do her duty. The tramp law has not been repealed. We do not need more legislation; all we need is efficient officers in every town to enforce the present tramp law. We ask the press of the state to give notice that on and after the 18th or 20th of the present month the tramp law will be strictly enforced, and we think the tramps will disappear like the morning dew.
