 Advertise in the NEWS. Last week 1T C. Dean invested 50 cents with us for an advertisement and now mark the result; this advertisement brought him 10 customers and he sold the property advertised. Another party contracted for SIG advertisement in a Hartford paper, but withdrew it after half the time had expired and no benefit been received, but the same advertisement that we publish for S4 in the NEWS proved a profitable investment and brought them many customers.
 -"Attention all right face! forward march !" says Post Commander Van Deusen in his new advertisement this week. We visited his store last Friday and found him and his help very busy waiting on customers, While waiting an opportunity to transact business with him, We took occasion to inspect his stock, and found every department well supplied with new and desirable goods. His advertisement enumerates only & portion of his stock. It will pay you to call and examine his goods and prices.
 All the churches in this town ob- served Easter and the services were of unusual interest. The floral decora- tions at each church were beautiful and any description that our space would permit could not convey an idea of their beauty. The evening service at the M. E. church consisted of singing and reel tations by the Sunday school scholars, reading by the superintendent and a short address by Rev Phillips. The Easter eggs containing the money col lected by the scholars to purchase books with were broken, the B eggs banned out S35.1S.
 Mir Nathan Curtiss of West Stock bridge, Mass, brakeman on Conduc- tor Arnold's train on the Housatonic railroad, while coupling cars last Friday night at the siding near Barnes lime kilns, north of this village, was caught between the dead woods of the cars and badly squeezed. It was necessary to uncouple the cars before he could be released. He was unable to walk, but was placed aboard the train and brought to the Warner house and Dr c. W. Camp summoned, who made an examination and decided that no bones were broken but the hip had been badly bruised and squeezed. The next day MT Curtiss was removed to his home

The boy was attempting to get on moving car. We don't sup pose that any boy who sees this will be deterred from doing the same thing the first opportunity the boy can get. P.S. The boy Is dead. Windsor Locks Jo,Gm- al. April II.
 History sustains Neighbor Addis in his conclusions, but it would seem that the accidents daily occurring to those who attempt to get aboard moving trains would be a warning to others. F. B. Young had narrow escape at this station last Friday. He attempted to get aboard moving train; his foot slipped, but brakeman seized him and prevented his falling under the wheels.
