GREAT HARRINGTON.

A special meeting of the Fire District was held at the town hall last Saturday
 afternoon. Merit I. Wheeler was chosen for moderator. This meeting was called for the purpose of voting more money for the continuance of work on the proposed system of sewers. Twelve thousand dollars have already been expended and it is estimated that twelve thousand more will be required in order that all necessary parts of the Fire District may be connected with the sewer. H. c. Joyner made motion that the sewers be completed at an expense not to exceed $12,OOO, but, after debate which lasted for an hour and a-half, the motion was lost by majority of three votes. The reason for the failure of the appropriation is SUD- posed to be the dissatisfied labor eIe- ment who determined to boycott the work because several men were dis charged while at work on che sewers the present summer . St Peters total abstinance society had very pleasant time at their picnic in Riverside park July 4th, and the gate receipts will more than pay the expenses. There were various sports and dancing, with excellent music on the piano, violin and cornet. A children's entertainment

instead of the snarl of the fat Dutch man, I heard the sweet voice of the daughter of one of the friends saying, elf thee will follow I will show thee all." It is needless to add that I surrendered myself to the guidence of the trim gray-clad figure. and perhaps I thought the hard, unpainted benches more luxurious and the -hitewashed walls less bare because the demurely beautiful maiden ushered me through them. However that may be fingered as long as my engagement with my friend would allow, and it was with Q feeling of regret that I left the sweet face framed in the shaded doorway and boarded an uptown car.
 have not space to tell of the charm ing time I had with my friends that evening, or my adventures next day, but I will say that I shall ever hold Quakers and the Quaker City in grate- ful remembrance

THE HERO OF CHAMPLAIN.

Thirty years ago we were in the habit of daily passing within a few feet of the plain family monument erected to the memory of Commodore McDon- ough. Some years ago we went to the spot and found the weeds in undisturb- ed possession. Last Saturday we were there again and the daises outnumber- ed the spears of grass. The old grave yard by the side of the Connecticut river is to be given over to the railroad, and then the weeds and monument will alike disappear.
 But with Q monument to Putnam on Bushnell Park at Hartford, and an equestrian one in the village of Brook lyn, what should the state do otherwise than commemorate the Hero of Lake Champlain with monument on the park at Middletown? Or cannot Middle town, which has so heavily bonded itself extensively for railroad enterpri- ses, afford to commemorate her most distinguished citizen? It would be no affront to the millionaire son-in-lsw whose residence is in full v1ew of the park.
 Middletown is the only College city in Connecticut without such 8 struc- ture and should erect one to inspire the students from the various states, as we'll as its own citizens, by vision of 8 monument commemorating the Hero of Champ1ain. Naugatuck Review.

Benedict, of Southfeld, preached in the school house here Sunday afternoon, a good practical sermon It seems strange that so many people do not improve the opportunity to hear some of these good sermons when they come so near to them. The Fourth passed off very quietly here, only few fire crackers, and the sound of guns in the distance, to break the daily monotony. A few of the old neighbors from Winsted visited friends here. J. M. Shultz had peas and new potatoes, raised in his own garden, for dinner. Clarence Waugh, Jr., of Pittsfeld, visited at B. Stanard s last week.

Purify Your Blood.

Bodily and mental health depend upon . healthy condition of the blood. The blood particularly in the spring and summer months, becomes clogged with impurities, which poison it and generate disease. A harmless blood purifier is necessary to restore 0 healthy tone. The best purifier and tonic known is Swift's Specific (S. s. S.). Of its won- derful purifying and tonic powers we give a few testimonials:
 MT. Wm. A. Siebold, with George P. Powell & Co.,, 10 Spruce Street, New York, writes: "I feel it my duty, for the benefit of others who may be af. f1icted as was, to write you this letter, which you can use in any way you choose. l suffered great pain from boils, all over my neck; I conld not turn my head without acute pain. After trying all the usual remedies, and lind ing no relief, I used one bottle 8. s. S., and very soon was entirely relieved of my Jobs Comforters.' Now not a sign of my afdiction can be seen."
 Mir. M. 8. Hamlin, Winston, N. C., writes: "1 use it every spring. It al- ways builds me up, giving me appetite the hot summer days. On using 1t l soon become strong of body and easy or mind.n
 MT. c. E. Mitchell, West 23d St. Ferry, New York, writes: II weighed l16 pounds when began taking your medicine, and now 152 pounds. I would not be without s. S.S. for several times it's weight in gold"

THE TROPICAL DA UGHTER.

To the home of his father returning.
 The prodigal, weary and worn, Is greeted with joy and thanksgiving,
 AS when on his first natal morn A "robe' and "ring" are his portion, The servants as supliants bow; He is clad in fine linen and purple, In return for his penitent VOW. But ah for the Prodigal Daughter,
 Who has wandered away from her home Her feet must still press the dark valley And through the wild wilderness roam; Alone on the bleak, barren mountains The mountains so dreary and cold ' No hand is outstretched in fond pity >a' To welcome her back to the fold. But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy Still follows his sheep, though they stray, The weakest and cen the forsaken,
 He bears in his bosom alway; And in the bright mansions of glory,
 Which the blood of his sacrifice won, There is room for the Prodigal Daughter
 As well as the Prodigal Son.
