No family should be without ALLooKs POROUS PLAs- TIERS; their healing powers are wonderful and their efficacy far reaching and lasting. When in Washington last winter l was 1n- duoed to try another much advertised plas- ter for severe pain in my back No relief from the pain, but a sore and blistered back for week. was the result. So soon as the blisters healed I applied two of ALLoooK's POROUS PLAsTERs and they gave me immedi ate and permanent relief. They give addi- tional strength and vitality to the spinal col umn, and they are never failing remedy in my family for Coughs, Colds. Sprains and all Pains and Weakness.

A Tribute to a Former Pastor Of Center
 Church.
 On the north wall of Center church was placed this week an elegant tablet to the memory of former pastor of the church, Rev. Chauncey Whittelsey, who was born at Wallingford, Connecticut, October 9e, 1717. His father, the Rev. Samuel Whittelsey, was she second pastor of the church in that place. man greatly distinguished in his day for his abilities and his public usefulness His mother was granddaughter of the famous President Chauncey of Harvard colIepe From both parents he inherited strong n,er. tai powers which were highly cultivated bv education He graduated at Yale in 17as and continued his classical studies as a ~ass- dent graduate on Bishop Berkeley'B founda- tion. At the resignation of Rector Williams which took place in 1739, Mr. WhitteIsev was elected tutor. He served the public ,u n.. office six years and m.. --4arruction of four classes,
 of which received a great part
 of their education under him. Many of his
 pupils became afterwards greatly distin- guished in the church and in the common
 wealth. President Stiles says of him: ''He was an excellent classical scholar, we'll ac- l quainted with the three learned languages, the Latin. Greek and Hebrew, but especially 1 the Latin and Greek and with the general | cyclopedia of literature. He availed himself | of the advantages of an academic life and 1 amassed by laborious reading great treasure 1 of wisdom, and for literature he was in his l day oracular at college. His pupils always I regarded him with great respect" 1 At time when the affairs of the society had arrived at the greatest perplexity, Mir 1 Whittelsey, submitting to the wishes of the church members, separated himself to the
 work of the gospsl ministry and was in | ducted into the pastoral office ia and over
 the First church and congregation of New | Haven. The church and congregation were per | fectly united in hIm. His ministry was 1 peaceful and pr osperous and at no time was 1 there any division among the people or any 1 alienation of their affection from him. So 1 through the trying times of the Revolution | he was their leader and guide, teaching that l confidence in God which bowed their knees | in prayer and made their arms strong in battle. Mir. Whittelsey survived the termin- ation of the war only about four years, closing his useful life July 24th, 17S7, in the seventieth year of his age.
 The tablet is of polished brass in a beauti- fnl setting of pearl colored marble and bears l the folio wing inscription:
