DEATH OF MICHAEL CONlkINS.

Last Saturday night, near Boston Corners, N. Y, as Michael Commins, son of Patrick Commins of this place and brakeman on the P. R. & N. E. road, was stepping from one low car to another he somehow missed his footing and fell between the cars across one of the rails. and his body was cut in two, four cars passing over him. This IS one of the saddest affairs we have ever had to record. Michael vas an only son and had always been a good and dutiful one. As boy he was bright and intelligent and good scholar, and as young man his life and conduct have been most commendable. Every body who knew him seems to have had an especial liking for him. We are in formed that he has been in the habit of giving all the money he could save out of his earnings to his parents to help pay off the debt on their place.
 The funeral took place on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, and was unusu- ally we'll attended The procession was headed by about forty men on foot and between forty and fifty teams followed the hearse. The church was nearly filled, a large number of Protestants be- ing present. The Rev Father Ramon celebrated High Mass of requiem, and afterwards read the burial service over the body, in the usual form. The floral tributes were very abundant and beau tiful. We noticed a pillow with the word "Rest" on it and large bank of flowers two by three feet square. The pail bearers swere six stalwart young trainmen, friends of the deceased, their names are: James Keeuan, Dennis O'Niel, William Shields, William Briggs, of this place, and Martin Riley and Frederick Daniels, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Martin Riley was talking with Michael just before he fell between the cars. The face of the young man as he lay in his casket looked very natural, though somewhat bruised, and wore a sweet, peaceful expression. as though asleep. It is seldom that one sees such expressions of deep sorrow as were manifested at this funeral.
 The blow falls heavily on his parents, who are no longer young. The two sisters of the deceased, one of whom is married and lives in New Jersey, were present, as we'll as the brother-in- law. All feel the deepest sympathy with this b-reaved family.

Deafness Can'r be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing, and When it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

How to Treat Summer Boarders.

Summer boarders, rightly handled, are about the most profitable thing the farmer can cultivate Don't feed them on beefsteak. for they don't want it. Give them plenty of berries. baked po- tatoes, boiled eggs and mush and milk and they will be much better suited. Keep them away from the house by get ting them to go fishing or hill clim mbing, and then they can't say it was your mos quitoes that bit them. What they wish is something new to eat and something new to see. Give them these and they pay we'll for the trouble.
