AUREvoIR.

Michael Brennan, proprietor of the Goshen house, who was arrested for the selling of liquor without license, was tried before Justice John Fl. Wadhams, the trial lasting two days, the 18th and 14th. The case was dismissed and the costs thrown on the town. The twelve indictments against him were cut down to four. The principal part of the evil dence against Brennan appeared to be the number of teams driving in and out of his yard with fish-poles in their wagons ..--. ... ..-..a

Feed far R@N@eaaWm.

The editor of the New Milford Gazette has figured that the amount expended annually for drinks in that town is $63, ,882, and that $42, ,588 of this goes for beer, the rest for intoxicants. Against this he estimates that the amount of the charitable collections in the four churches in the town is $32OO. The number of workingmen's families of four each who could subsist comfortably on the drink money is set down at 159. These figures contain food for reflection, as New Milford with her nearly 4OO0 in habitants and nine licensed drinking places, is probably fair sample in this respect of other manufacturing towns. -Neao Hartford Tribune.

4 LETTER FROM BEN R. ABBOTT.
To he Editor of The Neus.

To hbe Editos. of Ihe Ne,rss
 first learned from the columns of your paper that the Improved Road ma chinery was in successful use in New England and, knowing the unfavorable conditions existing there, concluded that I was fully warranted in providing our township with at least one machine, as we might justly expect better results on our prairie roads than could be pos sible in rocky or mountainous regions. I accordingly bought the heaviest and strongest grader I could find and can report that our expectations were more than realized and we are now making our roads at one-twentieth of their for mer cost, to say nothing of the splendid condition we can keep them in by time- leveling after seasons of continuous rain.
 Our people have exchanged the 'shor- rible" for "splendid" and road making with us is no longer dreaded as of yore. Of course we soon found that the grader would slide when called upon to do big work, as with all machines, as all per sons that ever held blow will readily understand. To show you how over come that difficulty enclose sketch of Q device that does the work effectual- ly and increases the working capacity of the grader. Please let your road super intendent and others interested in good roads see how the device is applied.
 Our farmers are well pleased with present prospects and will have good crops of oats, corn and potatoes. Wheat is much better than was expected and those that plowed theirs under In the spring regret it. Grass Is light, but the quality is above the average. Cattle are doing we'll No hog cholera reported.
 Our farmers are paying much atten- ton to horse raising and many carloads are sent from this station every month. The ponderous Norman is the speciality. Being quite railroad centre, business with us is reasonably good and, if any thing, is on the up grade.
 BEN. R. ABBOTT.
 Bloomington, Ia., July 13, 1885,
 The device referred to was invented by Mr Abbott and patented June 30, 1885. We have already shown the sketch to one of the selectmen of this town and he thinks it valuable invention. We shall be pleased to show the sketch to nll interested in road making. = ED. NKvs.

"corpu1ence and Its Treatment" !"


DSome years ago Banting's treatise on
corpulence and the dietary method of
treatment was extensively read. The
remedial plan suggested was, on the
whole, o. safe and good one. There was
nothing new in it. Every well-read and
experienced physician was familiar with
the theory, aud many had prescribed
the remedy in their practice But the
monograph attracted considerable at-
tention, and there were not a few who
adopted the suggestions with varying re-
suits depending upon the strictness
with which they adhered to the rules
laid down. It was clear enough that
corpnlency could be reduced in q great
number of instances without any det-
riment to health, but with an actual
gain on that score.
DR.. Wilhelm Ebstein, professor of
Medic inc in the Royal University of
Goettingen. is the anthor of o treatise
on "Corpulence," which has been trans
lated by Emil W. Hoeber, M. D., a
member of the Medical Society of New
York. The writer holds that the Bant-
ing cure was nothing more or less than
the starvation cure. That is hardly q
fair designation. 1t discarded all such
foods as contained fat, or fal-makine
