When the boys reached the tramp, who was very meek and shamefaced, they saw daubs of honey on his garments, and not far off among the leaves of the ravine lay the luscious products of the Buttonwood hives
 Dan Gillet was released from the bear trap, but the settlers held him in custody, for he confessed that he was the "bear'' that had plundered the pens and hives of the neighborhood, and that the partner ship trap caught him with his last plunder in his hands. <
 The tramp was kept at the settlement until his lacerated limb healed, when he was ordered off with stern reminder to come back no more, an order which he faithfully obeyed, though he gave. the owners of the partnership bear trap dark, revengeful look ere he departed. few days later very old bear was shot some distance from town, and the trap was brought home.
 Dick and Hiram, backed by the settlers agreed that it had fulfilled it's mission. Il had caught the real Buttonwood bear.

I have been afflicted with catarrh for 20 years. It became chronic, and there was a constant dropping of mucous matter. It ex- tended to my throat, causing hoarseness and great difficulty in speaking, indeed for years was not able to speak more than thirty min- utes, and often this with great difficulty. I also, to great extent, lost the sense of hear ing in the left ear, and of taste. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm all dropping of mucous has ceased and my voice and hearing has greatly improved W.

 Rockville cor. Hartford Times Dur ing the past two years, or since W. Frank Fay resigned the office of prosecuting at torney, there has been no restraint on the | liquor sellers in Rockville. Saloons have been kept open at all hours of the day and night, Sundays as we'll as other days. Drunkenness, fights and disturbances have been frequent, but not single prosecu. tion has been made during the two years. Immediately on MT. Fay's reappointment as prosecuting attorney he sought to cor. rect these evils. Saturday he caused g circular to be sent to each licensed dealer, to the effect that many complaints of sell. ing liquor and beer on Sunday were on file in his office, as we'll as for delivering beer in pails to minors, and notice was given that he should prosecute to the full extent of the law any and all violations occurring from and after date. The effect of this work of the new prosecuting attorney is very manifest Yesterday not drunken person was seen on the streets.

where 1t was, aud she said in a bureau

Stackhouse, who found it fully loaded. He
