Does your Cake Dry up
 Quickly ?

If so. your baking powder is adulter- ated with ammonia or alum, ingredients which are injurious to health and are used by interruptions manufacturers simply to lessen the cost of the powder and increase their profits.
 Housekeepers who use Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder know that food raised with this pure cream of tartar powder keeps moist and sweet, and is palatable and wholesome.
 "Cleveland's Superior" has the peculiar property, possessed by no other baking powder, of producing light, wholesome bread, biscuit, cake. etc., shat retain their natural moisture and sweetness. This desirable quality, in baking powder shown by the Official Reports. to be the strongest of all pure cream of tartar powders, makes Cleve- lands Superior Absolutely the Best"

 .-.'Shameful, disgrace to the town, ? is the language of visitors to the old cem- etery. Except some half dozen lots that are neatly kept. the coarse grass, briars and bushes covering the enclosure are in- deed sight to behold.
 News was recently receiyed that Mrs. L. D. Ide was lying at the point of death in Philadelphia; being taken ill there on her way to Florida.
 Mrs. Hyde is sick at Lncius Preston's.
 The services in the Baptist church to- day call to mind the ordination in thasame place, not long since, of Rev. Lester L. Potter, now pastor of the Park O0ngrega- tional church, Hartford.

 The recent queer change of the postal car on the N. L. N. railroad causes decided dissatisfaction among the patrons on route ssNo. 5214, which affects its three Vii. lington post offices and the one at Vest ford. For instance, the mail of one patron at the Hill office, who sends and receives on an average more pieces per day than any ten individuals or more than any one company in town, has to lie over at the depot 24 hours. Correspondence is now going on with the department at Washing ton that may disclose the lnwardness of this matter.
