WELL.-ST. JoHNsBURY VT, May 2l.-
There is much excitement il regard to
the finding Of the body of an infant in a
we'll across the river in what is known as
Summerville. The we'll is located in a
pasture on side hill above the village,
and several families use the water from
it. The body was considerably decom-

Judge Tillen,

Hon. Harvey Tilden. Judge of probate
for the district of Washington, died at hi.
residence in Barre last Saturday.
Mr.. Tilden has not been in robust
health for some years, but has seen to his
office work regularly until within II few
months since which time he has been
confined to the house and has made but
few visits to his office in this place. He
was born in Williamstown July 20, 1912,
and was consequently nearly II years old
at his death. He has been engaged in
business in Mortified and Barre and
represented the latter town in the legsa-
ture in 1919. In 1856 he WIS elected
judge of probate and held the Office for
two years aad was again elected in 1870
and has held the Office continuously to the
date of his death; but he lately made up
his mind that he would not soon be able
to resume the duties of his office and on
the 9Th of May sent in his resignation to
the governor to take effect June 1st.
In his younger days Judge Tlden was
actively engaged in business, but always
exhibited the same sound judgment
and pains.taking care and integrity
which has characterized him in bis later
years and has made his books models of
their kind,and it was fact that caused the
Judge to take a little pardonable pride in
that though not a lawyer in
profession, still his judgements in impor-
tant cases that came before him were
noted for being sustained in greater
number of cases when they were brought
before the supreme court, than was the
case in many places where a lawyer occu-
pied the judges chair.
He was married to Miss Maria Cook, of
Barre. who with two daughters, one of
them Mrs. A. G. Averill, of Montpelier,
survive him. His funeral was from the
church in Barre, Tuesday,
and was attended by large number of
friends. Rev. j. Edward Wright, of
and Rev w. M. Kimmcll,

A little IL year old girl in Knoxville
Iowa. was frightened to death by n severe
thunder storm few nights ago. She had
been quite well the day before, but awoke
during the storm and besought her mother
to take her to bed, "for she was afraid of
thunder" Her suppications were un.
needed, and soon the mother was aroused
by the child's difficult breathing. APP
preaching the bed with a light, she found
her dying, and in II few moments she
breathed her last.

an historical fact. In summer the stages

twenty five miles. Six days was IL quick

A RUBBER BAG.
MAY 81, 1888

This most remarkable statement was made by
MIR, Frank B. Lee, clerk In the office Of N. Y.
q. & II. II. X. II. Little Falls, NY, on the sth
OF June, 1883.
Mr.. Lee says: My father has been trouled for
over twenty years with severe kidney and blad-
der disease, ru ferlng the most acute pain when
urihating. lie became so bad that he was OBJ
liged to give up all business. His condition
was such that his urine would drop constantly,
and he was obliged to use rubber bag, the
weakness was so great. He used many kinds Of
medicine without deriving any benefit, until he
was urged by one Of our druggists In Little Falls
(Mr. SkInner) to use Hunts Remedy, as he had
known Of Its being used in many cases with
great success. 1 purchased one bottle, and ho
commenced using it., and he was so improved
that he got along without the rubber bag He
used in all twelve bottles, and It has entirely
cured him. Father is sixty tao years old, and
we consider 1t n most wonderful cure, and cheer
fully recommend Hunts Remedy to all AFFLICTED
with kidney, liver, or urinary troubles.
All the evidence published in regard to Hunt 8
Remedy can be relied upon; 1t is true In every
particular
