ASPETUCK.

The citizens of this place and vicinity were deepley pained and saddened to hear of the death, Sunday morning, April 26, of our popular miller and post master, Frank Gould. Just as the day was breaking, the spirit took it's flight and an expression of peace and quietness settled over the features that had so recently expressed the pain that the body felt. It was a beautiful day that dawned upon us, but how much more beautiful must have been the eternal Sabbath that dawned upon him, as he passed from earth to his eternal home. Mr Gould was universally esteemed and respected wherever known and but few ever dealt with so many people with so few ene- mics. The verdict we hear upon every hand is, s'There is no one to take his place" and "No other man in this yicini- ty would have been so much missed. 5 While the loss falls heavily upon the community, it falls most heavily upon the widow and aged father, but it is well to remember that the Great Ruler of the universe makes no mistakes.
 Frank E. Gould of D. B. Gould & Son died, Sunday morning at a m, aged 30. He was not considered dangerously ill until Friday afternoon, when his disease developed into pneumonia.

He leaves wife and one child, aged father and sister who have the sympathy of neighbors and friends in their great affiiction. Funeral. We'd nesday afternoon; services at the house at l 30, 2 p m at the church. Rev Will liam Cogswell conducted the exercises.

A New Hampshire church was in need of new hymn books. While in this con- dition, they received and readily accept ed an offer from an enterprising firm to furnish them books, if they would toler- ate harmless ad. in them. The books were received in due time and, to the deacons' surprise, they found no ad. on the covers, inside or out. It was sup posed that a mistake had heen made. The next Sunday, three verses of hymn 2S6 were sung with great enthusiasm by the congregation, rejoicing in their new hymn books, but the fourth verse nearly caused a riot; it ran something like this
 IIark, the herald angels sing,
 Beecham's pills are just the thing;
 Peace on earth and mercy mild,
 Two for man and one for q child.
 If the hymn had been sung in Bridge port and II. N. Ayres's name had been inserted in place of the other firms, to- gether with praise of his fine shoes, there aeeuld have been no disturbance, for it would have been such a self evident truth that no one would have felt like taking the least exception.

You who have pains about your body and a sense of lang,uor and exhaustion; a feeling as if you would sooner die than suffer longer from Dyspepsia, Con- stipation, Hemorrhoids, Neuralgia, Nervous prostration, Those pain full Tumors, Periodic pains, Irregularities, Displacements, Lacera- tions, Alterations, Granulations, Offensive discharges, Deranged Liver, Bladder, Kidneys, the deadly Cancer, and many other diseases peculiar to your sex.
 Dld you ever stop to think that your complicated organization has become deranged by overwork, neglect or dis ease?
 Or that, what you suffer is but the outery of nature warning you that something is wrong and to stop and investigate your condition before you are at last obliged to give up and go to bed with prolonged illness.
 Are you not tired diagnosing your complaints and trying to treat them yourself? Why not in preference go to one who has made the sixty odd diseases to which you are subject special study for many years: one who has given half his life to this branch of practice.
 One who can accurately diagnose your eondi- tion or disease, and tries no vain experiments, but gaining thorough knowledge of your case can give you the treatment most suitable to your disease and condition.
