From paper read by Hon. Jas. NJ.
Tyler before the Brattleboro Profession
al Club we excerpt: "An Obvious means
of developing the State is by having it
traversed by the best practicable public
highways. During the last 60 years the
people of this country have been intense
ly engaged in building railroads and per-
fecting their railway systems, which now
surpass all others in the world. In the
meantime the common country roads, the
medium of communication for every
class of people, and especially for the
farmer, in going to mill, to market and
to meeting-those most important links
that bind communities and even states
together-are sadly neglected. Not in
all localities, but generally, and as sys-
TENS having in view the best interests of
the people they are neglected. All the
farms cannot be near the limits of villages
and cities. Most of them must be remote,
therefore it would seem plain PROPOSE
ton that the best highways practicable
should reach out from the business CEN
tiers into the agricultural districts. No
more effectual means could be employed
by towns, that are from their location
centers of trade, to cultivate and increase
their business and promote their own in
terests, than by inviting the farming
population to them by easy and attract
i've roads. The main roads leading to the
surrounding towns should be made so
good that the traveller would know by its
quality when he struck a road leading to
Brattleboro, just as the roads were recog-
nized that led to ancient Rome"

A lady customer OF ours Miss Fanny Atwood
of Caroline Depot, N. " has been cured Of a
stubborn case of skin disease by the use of CUT
cura Remedies. She remarked that her case had
baffied the skill of many well-known physicians.
They unanimously pronounced 1t Eczema, with
Rheumatism lurking in the blood. Some pre-
dicted that any treatment strong enough to cure
the Eczema would surely increase the rheuma-
tism. She used two sets of the Cutcura Rene
dies. The effect was marvellous Her case OF
Eczema was not only cured, but her rheumatism
was greatly relieved during the treatment. Six
years have elapsed since the cure was performed
and her rheumatism has since never increased by
the treatment, but rather diminished, and she
sees no symptoms Of the return Of the Eczema
which once so completely took possession of her
face and body. Miss Atwood delights in telling
of the good effects that the Cuticura treatment
had upon her. and recommends unsolicited the
Cuticura Remedies for Eczema and all kindred
ailments. Your preparations fine ready sale; in
