NORTH HYDE PARK.

Our place has been considerably stirred
up of late by the efforts TO suppress intern
perance. Complaints have been issued
the past week against seven parties (two
fol selling and five for drunkenness)
Alonzo Taylor, arrested for selling, paid
his fine; Chas. Emerson was arrested
Monday morning for the same offense.
He has evaded the officer several times
but Constable Cobleigh finally caught
him. His trial is set for the Goth. Calvin
Foss plead guilty last week to drunken
ness and disturbing public gathering
and paid up his fine. Chas. Parker, for
drunkenness, paid up once and is now
wanted for similar offence. Michael
Kinds, Lyman Peck and Herman Stearns
were also arrested. Kinds paid up and
the others will have trial. We hope the
good work will go on and that a stop will
be put to this illegal business.

The directions were that.he should make an
ointment Of the herbs mentioned and apply
them 10 his back for one dav. He did so.
The second day he was to put bandage
around his hips, which was to remain halt
an hour. another on his chest, which was TO
remain an hour, and at 5p M. nc was to be
restored to health. He followed the direc-
tons of the dream to the letter. At the
appointed time light came to the sightlesS

and he was completely restored. Five min
utes after ) o'clock he got up and walked
and to-day he is lively and active.
