cdy cures the worst cases of
chronic catarrh in the head,
catarrhal headache, and "cold

In perfect faith, its makers,
the Worlds Dispensary Med
ical Association of Buffalo,
N. Y, offers to pay $500 to
any one suffering from chronic
catarrh in the head whom
they cannot cure.
Now if the conditions were
revcrsed-if they asked you to
pay $500 for a positive cure
you might hesitate. Here are
reputable men, with years Of
honorable dealing; thousands
of dollars and a great name
back of them and they say
1--WE can cure you because
we've cured thousands like
you 81 if we can't we'll pay
you $500 for the knowledge
that there's one whom we
can't cure"
They believe in themselves.

Death of Mary Barnes.

Miss Mary B. Barnes, daughter of Mir Henry 0. Barnes, died suddenly at the residence of her parents, in this village, about o'clock last Wednesday evening. Her age was 2l years and 8 months. During the first week of last November she was attacked with hemor- rhage of the lungs, but had recovered sufficiently to be about the house aod receive visitors. For several days previ- ous to her sudden death she had felt remarkably we'll and on Wednesday it seemed unnecessary for more than one member of the family to remain with her, so that afternoon her sister went skating with some companions while her mother took the opportunity to take tea at Mir B H. Barnes in this village. Mary's brothers, Irving and Clinton. were persuing their studies at New York and Norfolk respectively. | While Mary and her father were taking tea together Mary was suddenly, with out moments warning, attacked with aprofuse hemorrhage of the lungs. Her father left her momentarily with the servant. Miss Hanora Britt, and, with out waiting to take off his slippers and draw on his boots, he rushed across the street to summon Dr Camp, but the doctor was away. MT Barnes quickly recrossed the street, put on his boots and then ran to Dr Church's office, a few rods distant. Dr Church responded immediately, but before they could reach Mir Barnes house Mary expired. Miss Britt was alone with Mary when | she breathed her last. which was within less than five minutes of the attack
 Mary Barnes possessed rare combi- nation of christian graces. She was an active and exemplary member of the Pilgrim church and faithful teacher in its Sunday School. Gentle in disposi- tion yet earnest in every good work a most devoted daughter and sister a kind and agreeable companion, loved and respected by all who knew her. l She has gone to 8 brighter and happier land to join her elder sister, who crossed the river the 18th of last April. Unlimi- ted sympathy is expressed for the fami- ly, who have twice been bereft within less than year. ..e
 The funeral was held at her late resi- dence on Saturday at ? 30 p. m. Rev D. O. Stone conducted the services. His remarks, based on the text, " For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" were very comforting and impressive. The daily walk and conversation of the deceased have been continual sermon from, or illustration of, the first clause of that same text. The very large attendance at the funeral, including friends from Ct Burlington and other places, manifested the esteem in which the departed was held. The floral offer ings were beautiful and profuse. -.

 We hope our readers, especially our towns-people. will not fail to read the letter, published in another column, calling attention to the variety of vege- table growth and mineral species found at North Canaan. The letter is very interesting, and is particularly timely, lnasmuch as there Is considerable talk of forming @ scientific society here.
 We are indebted to Secretary Walsh for 8 copy of the Connecticut State Register and Manual for 1890. In. it's enlarged and improved form this yearly register will be more valuable than ever One new feature IS the list of state officers and members of the legislature who have died during the past year. MT R. s. Hinman, chief clerk in the secretary's office, deserves much credit for the time and labor he has expended in compiling the volume.

 Such is fame. Yes, it is striking illustration of fame when we consider that Editor Hickox and the late Geo. W Peet were brother lawyers, both mem- bers of the Litchfield bar, and resided within less than 20 miles of each other. It shows how we'll public men are acquainted with each other or their families, and it also shows how far the fame of F. A. Peet (the only son of the late Geo w. Peet) has extended. Edito, aickox evidently has never heard of Geo. c. Peet (of the firm of Ferguson & Peet, of Bridgeport who is the only son of Joseph w. Peet, Canaan mer- chant.
