Standing on ladder ana palntlng

 Silas Knickerbocker is painting Hum

 An !! The post ofice-that explains 1t. We have received copy of the Manning (Iowa) Monitor of Nov. 20, with the following item marked for our perusal:-
 MT G. S. Dunning of East Canaan, Conn.,, Is in town visiting his old friend, J. l.. Ives Mir Dunning is merchant and postmaster and of course repub- ican. He attributes the defeat in Con- necticut to bolting republicans and St. Johnites He will remain here over Sunday.
 -Barnum Richardson Co.'S. upper fur mace was blown out last Thursday for the purpose of putting in a new hearth. It will be put in blast soon as possible and probably one of the lower furr aces which has been repaired will also be started soon. The company have no iron on hand and recently have been unable to fill their orders. Iron made in Alabama and other southern states can be placed on the market at lower figure than Salisbury iron, but the quail ity is inferior. A workman in a large car wheel shop in Pennsylvania recent ly told us that notwithstanding the manufacturers of southern iron claimed it was equal to Salisbury iron they could not substantiate their claim and it was necessary to mix steel with the south ern iron to get the strength requisite for car wheel, and he furthermore said they were obliged to use more or less Salisbury iron and it made the best car wheel and the southern iron could never equal or supersede the Salisbury.
 MT William Adam died last Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock.

Besides the large circle of and friends in Canaan, who as- sembled to manifest their love and es- teem for the departed, a large delegation | were present from Pittsfeld, Lenox, Salisbury, Falls Village, Poughkeepsie and other places. The services were brief but very appropriate and impressive. Aquartette sang hymn ! 1908, found in Songs for the Sanctuary" beginning
 6 It is not death to die
 To leave this weary road.
 And mid The brotherhood on high,
 To be at home with God" Rev Atwood read very appropriate pas sages from both the Old Testament and New Testament, and selected his text from Job, V, 26: C. Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, like as shock of corn cometh in in his season." The sermon was full of comfort and re- plete with scriptural illustrations show ing the similarity of the departed to the righteous men of old. The services at the house were concluded with prayer A large number followed the remains to 1 the lower cemetery. The pail bearers were Judge Granger, Miles B. Tobey, Daniel L. Peirce, James l..

MAKING i HUMAR3 FACE
Thirteen Years of Experience
undeY a Surgeon.

From the New York sun
In 1871 Thomas Colt, then y years

After the course Of the disease had
been checked the process Of building up
was begun by cutting away the FLESH
from the edges of the uriIlcc where the
nose had been. Then the inside Of the
large iugcr of the right hand was hay-
| cd, and the fresh cut wound was fitted
where the nose should he. The hand
was held in place by by bandages and
plaster paris until the finger had grown
last to the forehead and checks of the
patient. In the meantime the mouth
MAS covered nv the hand, and II silver
tube was inserted into the lads throat,
through which he was fed and through
which he also hrcalhcd.
When the grating of the lnger to
the face was completed, and circulation
was established, the finger was amputa-
ted near the knuckle, leaving two aud
II half joints attached TO the face. The
operations 50 far had required ab'"t II

Gon'tTax our Noble Dogs.

Once, in the State of Poduck,
The legislators met.
Oh! they we're wise as serpents,
And sweet as doves, you bet;
They Icgislated lively, and the treasury
being low,
They taxed each dcg;fve dollars,
Ere the folks could say whoa ! whoa!
CHORUS.
Don't tax our noble dogs,
twill make the people weep,
Tax horses, land or hogs,
Aye! Kill those dreadful sheep;
'Iwoull ruin me and jim,
And sister Nan aud cousin,
To tax each dog five dollars,
When each enc keeps Il dozen.

Would frighlcn Watch or Carlo
