Pvtbian Razar.

The Pythian BaZar, which opened III
the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, has
been we'll attended, considering the I'M
favorable weather and muddy roads
The hall is very attractive with its decora-
tions of evergreen, its display Of fancy
work and the exhibits of several Middle
town merchants. W. H. Moore q Co.
have display of carpets and rugs, S. M.
Reynolds & Co. exhibit fancy goods, w.
II. Johnson displays an attractive board
Of cutlery, w. w. Wilson shows hand
some case of smokers goods, G. W..
Stephens has very fine display of canned
goods, G. w. Wilson displays furniture,
John w. Makens displays wall paper
and J. w. Ridgway and Harry Davis
each exhibit stoves. The young folks
have much enjoyed the bazar. Refresh
ments in great variety are served by the
attentive ladies. But few Of the drawings
for the articles to be disposed of by chance
have taken place. ]. s. Crouch got a
barrel Of -four last evening on an invest
ment of fifteen cents. The bazar will be
continued this evening and Saturday
evening. A town lot, a carriage, sleigh,
several sets of harness, a set Of furniture
and many pieces Of fancy work are yet to
be disposed Of. Though the weather has
been very unfavorable, it seems probable
at this writing that the bazar will be
success financially and otherwise.

The IIvnarnn.

Those who attended the Irving Lyceum
meeting on Monday evening were much
entertained, though the program arranged
for the evening was cut very short by the
absence of several who were to have read
or recited. Kind friends as well as honor
ary members of the Lyceum gave their
aid, and mainly through their assistance
the meeting was made very pleasant
one. Miss Winnie Lynch, whom Middle
town folks are always glad of an oppor-
tunity to hear, sung two delightsome
ballads, and Miss Emma Cotton sung
sweetly and read in way that greatly
entertained her audience. Her selection
was "The Soldiers Reprieve." Master
Fred Donnell read a bright little selection,
and several questions were answered IN a
way that interested the audience. These
questions that are given out weekly by
the Lyceum frequently bring out answers
in the form of neat and well constructed
essays, the preparation of which must be
profitable to the person preparing them as
we'll as entertaining and instructive to
those who hear them read. Itseems to us,
therefore, that this question exercise is
one the best, especially for the younger
members, that the Lyceum has adopted.
The time spent in searching in books for
information and in putting thoughts into
words to read before such society as
the Irving Lyceum is we'll spent indeed.
Readings recitations, answers to questions
and music are promised for the regular
meeting next Monday evening.

Concerning Something Better than Mrs.
TOOdles' WheelbnFrOW-Andt the
Reasons WHY,

Reasons Why
When certain Commissary- General com
planned to the Duke of wellington that Sir
Thomas Picton had declared he would hang
him if the ratiOnS for that Generals division
were not forthcoming at certain hour, the
Duke replied:
"Ah! did he indeed go so far as that? Did
he say he'd hang your"
Yes, my lord.''
"WeI General Picton is just the man to
keep his word. You'd better get the rations
up in time,n
But to get rations or anything else up in
on them. AS Mr.. Toodles said about the
coffin which he had bought at auction and
brought home to his wife:
IF anything should happen, my dear, 1t
will be so handy to have in the house"
Being in the great wholesale drug house of
William Hart, in Elgin, Ill, one day, Mr. G.
II. sherman, the photographer of that place.
remarked, concerning PARKER'S TONIC II
have used it in my family for two years, and
l unhesitatingly pronounce it the best medi-
cine we have ever used. 1t is handy to have
in the house, and we are never without it,
Culled from the mass of reasons why Mr..
Sherman was right be good enough to con-
slider these: First, PARKER'S TONIC is de-
licious to the palate; second, it fnvigorates,
but does not promote q toUe for strong drink ;
third. it cures Coughs and Colds by melting
the torpid organs into healthy action, and
opening all the pores Of the skin; fourth, 1t
purifieS the blood, thus curing Kidney, Liver
and Lung diseases and Rheumatism; fifth
But take it into your house, and it will
speak for itself. Once used, you will change
it for nothing else. Physicians commend it.
