The Berkshire Courier of December 4th says:
 A large and apprecistive audience was en- tertained Friday evening at the Dewey Me- morial hall in Sheffield, with highly in structive lecture by Hon. L. s. Munson of New Haven, Ct. The judge has several times appeared during the past few years before the Historical and other literary soci- ties in Berkshire county, and on each occa- sion his lectures have received well -merited praise. Mr. Munson's subject Friday even ing was "The Louisiana Purchase" whereby all that vast territory west of the Mississippi river was ceded by France to the United States in 1908. The lecturer laid before his hearers c minute statement of the causes winch led to the requirement of the vast domain, from which twelve States have al- ready been admitted to the Union. The paper abounded in vivid descriptions of the scenery and great resources of the country, and in addition to the historical data, con- trasted the past with the present.

 was troubled with catarrh for over two years. tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of physi- clans, but received no benefit until I began to take Ayers Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured me of this troublesome complaint and com. pletely restored my health. ."-J Jesse M. Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. 0.
 "when Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec commended to me for catarrh, I was in- clined to doubt it's efficacy. Having tried so many remedies, with little ben- eft, I had no faith that anything would cure me. I became emaciated from loss of appetite and impaired digestion. I had nearly lost the sense of smell, and my system was badly deranged. Twas about discouraged, when a friend urged me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and re- ferred me to persons whom it had cured of catarrh. After taking half dozen bottles of this medicine, I am convinced that the only sure way of treating this obstinate disease is through the blood." Charles H. Maloney, 113 River st., Lowell, Mass.

 Judging from "An Act for the speedy
 raising of forces for removing encroachmsnts made by the French at Grown Point, passed
 at the legislative session in 1755, there was some indifference in Connecticut as to what

brought in yesterday morning. by
German family named Schwin,
feldt, living in the suburbs OF
this ci'r who tell the the following
remarkable story in connection
with the creature.
A few months ago they w-re
2. ouscd one night by shrill
tcream ofpain from their year,old
baby. Rushing TO the cradle moth,
ing was seen CT heard, but the next
morning, while bathing the child,
the mother observed two red spots
on the arm near the brachial ar
terry, looking as if hey had been
puncturcd by needle. The arm
swelled a great deal and sas still
very sore. In about a week the
baby was found dead in its cradle
and bathed in Blood. The jugular
vein had been bitten through.
The physician who was called
in, eli seeing the small but fatal
wound which consisted of "A hole
the size darniug needle might
have maGe,and hearing the history
OF the swelled arm, imme lately
said that Doth bites had been infic>
ted by rat. Attei the baby's burial
the Schweinteldts naturally deter>
mined 10 rid their house Of dam
gerous rodents, aud consequently
traps Of every fashion were placed
about. Many rats were caught
and drowned. One light, several
months after the death OF baby, the
a rat was heard running about its
narrow prison, and simultaneously
the crying OF child was heard
near by. The head Of the family
procuring a light, rushed to the
place whel ce the cries seemed to
come. TO his establishment
il proceeded from tie rat trap il
which could be PLAINLY seen one
of those animals.
Taking up the trap he exam

WHY THIS OFFER is MADE

Desiring to show in some lneas>
ure at least my appreciation of the
liberal patronage | am enjoying
this season | have been looking for
somo method Of expressing my
thanks in a manner that would be
pleasing to my patrons. While l
would much prefer to present to
EVERY caller some kindly token of
regard, the number Of gifts neces>
sary to 90 around would be so reat
that each separate gift, of necessi>
ty, could not represent much value.
| have therefore Determined to
combine all in one, and once every
month present to some one of my
customers a PRESENT WORTH uAy-
ING. No favoritism or partiality
will be shown in the selection Of
the customer who is to receive the
gift, as that difficulty has been
avoided in the following simple
but effectual manner.
During the month every person
who, at any one time, pure. asses
goods from me to the amount of
81 90 or upwards, will receive a
numbered tickle which entities
them to place among the persons
to. be selected from. Separate cards
with numbers corresponding to
those on every ticket given out,
will be placed in "a glass jar, and
after they are thoroughly mixed,
Il little child or some disinterested
person will draw numbered card
from the sack. Whoever holds the
ticket which corresponds with the
card drawn will receive the beau>
tiful oil painting framed complete.
