Bronchitis and pneumonia were also

la grippe.
Diarrhnal diseases had largely disap-

LitchfieId,s Dead Bodies.

Last week we mentioned the finding of two dead bodies at Litchfeld, They were the bodies of Jackson Tompkius and Patrick Lavin. Coroner Higgins has held an inquest, but has not yet made his report.
 A bottle has been found in the field, where the men were working, which contained a small quantity of fluid which smelled like cider brandy. Med ical Examiner Belden thinks that the poison was oxalic acid. The stomachs of tine two men and the bottle, with its contents, have been sent to New Haven for chemical analysis.
 LATER. Prof Herbert E Smith, dean of the Yale Medical school, New Haven, after examining a portion of the stom- achs and intestines of the men, said: II regard the case as very mysterious one. My examination thus far has pro- duced no clear indications ' of poisoning whatever, as the general impression was that it would. hope, however, to be able to submit report to Coroner Hig- gins of Litchfeld county in few days" !"

0OLLLNsVILLE'S NEW ROAD.

As was stated last week Dr George F. Lewis, of Collinsville, invited Mir s. O.
 Bsckley to go to that place and take an observation of practical road making
 MT Beckley's engagements would not admit of his accepting Dr Lewis invita- tion, and so MT D. l.. Peirce, with char acteristlc public spirit, kindly consented to go in the place of the editor.
 MT Peirce informs us that he was most hospitably entertained at dinner by Dr Lewis, who also took him on 8 drive to Canton.
 MT Peirce's report of the road making is as follows: By way of an experiment 900 feet of the worst road in the town has been Macadamized. The section selected is that which leads from the railroad station to the watering trough. This road has heretofore been almost impossible in the spring. John s. Lane, formerly roadmaster of the H. R. R., is the man who has done the work. This gentleman has steam crusher at Meri- den, with which he crushes 300 tons of stone daily. He also has portable crusher. His method of making roads is as follows. In the first place, the road bed is graded nearly level, but still little higher on the sides. Then this surface is covered to a depth of eight inches with crushed 21 inch stone. The stone is moistened and rolled down thoroughly with 10 ton steam roller. Next, layer about It inches thick, of crushed stone, about the size of walnnts, covered with little earth, is put on, moistened and rolled down. And lastly, top dressing of fine stone screenings is applied and, after moistenin0, the the job is done In this case five days sufficed for the work. MT Lane claims that his roads are absolutely impervious to water and will lastfor years, though used for the heaviest teaming. The road is IS feet wide, little higher in the middle than on ~the sides. and smooth as parlor floor. All the ma terial had to be'transported from Meri- deE. The expense of this piece of road has been S1192 The citizens, including taxpayers, are all delighted with the re- suit. and are urging Dr Lewis to have a meeting called and an appropriation made for another section of Macada m road. ..~-a#

What the Editor Gets.

When child is born into the world the physician IS represented and gets about ten dollars for officiating at that important event. The editor heralds the advent of the stranger and gets a cursing for making mistake as to the sex and date of arrival.
 After while the child becomes 8 man, the minister is called to perform the marriage ceremony and walks of with ten-dollar bill in his pocket for his trouble. The editor is again called on to chronicle this event by drawing on his imagination to make the bride and groom the most respectable people in the country. His only pay is to be asked for few extra copies of his paper to send to some absent friends.
 In time the once baby, once happy groom, but now a man we'll advanced in years, is brought down to death. Again the physician is called in and makes his bill, the undertaken is pres ent and officiates at the funeral, and in time wants $100 for performing the last sad rites, while the editor is expected to complete the drama by holding up the deceased as model gentleman, and one who at present is flying up the golden stairs. The probabilities are, at the same time, that the baby, the groom and the dead man have been so internally stingy that he has stinted his wife and children and has never contributed one cent to the support of his local paper.
 What does the editor get? He gets left.-Middletown (Pa) Advocate.

MRS. HARRISON.

The Berkshire Courier in it's issue of Oct 27 paid most beautiful tribute to the memory of Mrs Harrison. It seems to us that we ought to lay it before our readers. It is as follows:
 The wife of President Harrison died at 40 Tuesday morning.
 The messenger who makes no apology for intrusion, or draws no line of dis tinction between the palace and the hut, has darkened the doorway of the high est home in the land, and taken away from Der loved ones, the most promin- ent woman of her country.
 Mrs Harrison was typical American woman. One who has never been dis courage by trial, or fattered by success Her crowning glory was her devotion to the noble purposes of wife and mother true womanly grace added to the charm of B perfect lady made her ever well comed in the highest circles of society, but never won her from the dearest place on earth; her home.
 An end has at last come to suffering and pain, but not to life from which has emanated stream of influence and sweetness that has gladdened and bless ed many lives to nobler purposes. It is true that great cloud hangs over the presidential residence in Washington. and the heart of the chief magistrate is bowed in the deepest grief. yet after the cloud shall come the rainbow, and after the anguish the unalloyed memory of a life consecrated to all that is pure and ho- Iy in this world of endeavor and victory
 Benjamin Harrison stands at an open grave, but not alone. The tears of na- tion fall with his, and the arms of his countrymen are extended in brotharly sympathy to him in this hour when great public distinction counts as nothing and only the touch of humanity blends with the consolation from God.
