A Substitute for Morphine.


 Let any one who feels limp and out of sorts go to some hilly place where there are woods to fill the air with oxygen, and there sit in a sunny spot with narrow bag of ice on the spine. The chest will expand and the lungs put forth all their power to inhale. If there be microbe in the system (so copiously is oxygen let in) it must almost directly be burned up. The sense of vitality is so great that one is under the illusion of being youth ful again. general warmth pervades all the body; the sky looks bluer, the trees green CT; one is more alive to the exuberant joy of the song bird, to the brightness of the flow CTS, to the fragrance of the country; and if the coarsest fare were served at the next meal, so sweet would it taste that one would feel inclined to say grace after meat in a hearty spirit My advice to fashionable women is to drop morphine and betake them selves in rural solitude to this ice-treatment. Le premier pas coutera, but when once taken, all will be enjoyment after.

Eccentric Harvey Wakefield

Harvey Wakefield died in Colebrook, July 24th, at the age of eighty-two. He was al ways eccentric, talked little, saved every thing that came into his hands, and was apt to indulge in queer manifestations of his peculiar characteristics. In his barn is a huge pile of newspapers, and it is said that every newspaper he had received in sixty years lies in that heap. All the paper collars he wore were packed away in bags when they became soiled, and he conveyed the bag when full to the barn. At his death the collection was large one. Once year he allowed his room to be cleaned, and stood by during the annual process. After the opera tion was completed, no one was allowed to enter the room, and this rule was strictly en- forced. His will was read soon after his death. Though not religious man, and said to have been in a church not over once in three years during his life, the will gives the Episcopal, Methodist, Catholic and Congre- gational churches of Winsted s1 ,000 each. Some small 1egacies are left to relatives, S1, 900 to the borough of Winsted, and the rest of his estate to the town of Winchester.
