ALWAYS SAFE AND SURE.


1t is safe to take BRANDRErH's PILLS at any
time, but to get the best results they should be
taken on an empty stomach before going to bed.
For Constipation or Dyspepsia one or two taken
every night will, in short time, perform an abso-
lutte cure. 1t is well to take pufgatiye at least
once or twice month as preventive OF disease
BRANDRETH's PILLS are entirely vegetable and
the safest and most effective purgative ever intro
duced to the public. They have been used In this
country for over fifty years.

He spoke of the home life, lived there for more than half Q century. and the principles inculcated there of hones- ty, integrity and the fear of the Lord, which had sent out honest workers into the world, scattered almost all over this country.

GREAT HARRINGTON.

The old house at Kellogg terrace which has been occupied by Mrs Hop- kins Searles, previous to the building of her Few mansion, has been torn down the past week. This old house has had an interesting history. The land on which 1t stands was purchased about 1761 by two brothers, Joseph and Elias Gilbert. who between 1761 and 1764 peared for ever from our village street
 Here Elias Gilbert lived until 177O when he sold the place to David Inger- soil, Jr, native of Great Harrington, Sept 26, 1742 and graduate of Yale college-1n 1771. He was lawyer and resided for while at Sheffield but re- turned to this village and in 1767 was appointed justice of the peace In TITO he represented Sheffield. Great Barring ton and Egremont in the general court. He was prominent in town affairs and 8 supporter of the Episcopal church. When the Revolutionary struggle broke out he espoused the cause of the king, which SO enraged the people that in August 1774 he was taken by Q mob and sent as a prisoner to Connecticut
 Re was soon released however, but in 8 short time his house was besieged and his enclosure laid waste. Years after wards, when the house came to be re- paired. bullet was found to be imbed- ded in the hall, which bullet was probably fired at this aristocratic tory. Mr Ingersol now went to Boston where he mortgaged his place and sailed for England. where he died in 1796 In that country he married Frances R. Ryley who died the same year leaving two sons. Phillip who died in 1898 and

1eainiseence of Con. Lafayette and
 Aaron Burr.

Few men now living remember Aaron Burr. Many years ago. was in Albany during the session of the New York legislature, and stopped at the Mansion House near the capitol. In the evening the corridor was filled with gentlemen. noticed an old man walking aimlessly about, occasionally casting side glance from his deep-set, keen, black eyes. No one spoke to him or appeared to notice him. Asking who he was, I was told he was Aaron Burr.
 In 1924 I was at the reception oi Gen Lafayette. in Albany. The broad street from the capitol to the river was . mass of human beings. When Lafay- cite landed from the ferry boat, cheer after cheer, from tens of thousands, greeted him. What 8 contrast in the reception of the two men, who few years before were so conspicuous in the history of our country ! For the one, unbounded enthusiasm for the other, utter silence and neglect. The moral is obvious.
 It is not probable that there is man living, except myself, who was on board the horse ferry boat when Gen. Lafay- cite crossed the river from Greenbush (as it was then called) to Albany, sixty five years ago. s. s. ROBBINS.
