4 DOUBLE BEREA VEMEN7,

The family of the late James H. Chase, of Huntsville, have met with another sad bereavement in the death of Mrs Caroline 4. Chase, which follow ed just twelve days after the death of her husband. She wes quite feeble on the day of her husbands funeral, but the family did not feel alarmed, as anxiety over his sickness and death had greatly prostrated her, and it was thought in short time she would be all right again, But two or three days Saturday night, the 2d inst, she quietly passed away. The illness of Mrs Chase was similar to that of her husband al though up to the last moment it was thought she would recover. The de- ceased was 65 years of age, and during her long compsnionship with her hus. band she had been a loving and devoted wife and mother, and was beloved and respected by all who knew her.
 The funeral occurred from her late residence in Huntsville on Tuesday the 4th inst, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by the Rev MT Hanna, who delivered 8 feeling dis course, and there was singing by quar- tette, The attendance of relatives and friends was very large. The remains reposed in handsome block cloth-cov' cred casket with silver handles. The floral tributes were handsome. They included wreath from Mrs WmH. Blod. gett and Miss Mamie Blodgett; calla lilies from MT and Mrs Fred Kingsley, of Pitts6eld, and others. The bearers were: Messrs Charles E Chase, Sam uel 0. Chase, Seth W. Morris, Chauncey R. Morris, Sidney Morris. Jr., and Wal ter Chapin, all relatives of the deceased. The remains were inferred in Sandy Hill cemetery alongside her late husband.

Boys, a Word With You.

For the benefit of a few boys about town who are sowing rather bountiful crop of wild oats, and just beginning to take of the cup that inebriates on the sly, we will present them with this pie ture, passing over all the steps that lead up, or rather down, to 1t. A drunkard is the annoyance of modesty, the spoil of civil;ty, the destruction of reason, the brewers agent, his wife's sorrows, his children's trouble, his own shame, his neighbours scoff, a walking swill tub, the caricature of beast, the mockery of a man. Isn't 1t a pretty chromo to look at? Gaze long and feast your eyes upon 1t. Now you don't want to become such an object as we have portray ed and you don't mean to. Oh, yes; we know you are smarter than other boys, and will leave off bye and bye. You have heard older persons say they were going to too, but how many have you known to do so? The dirt and sod of the graveyards in this state cover the remains of mil lion people who could not turn back when they thought they could. It is easier to stop now, boys. .-Gowanda | Herald.

The Government Buying Royal Bak-
 ing Powder.
New York Tribune.1


 Large purchases of baking powder have recently been made by the United States Government. In one lot 80,00O lbs were bought of the Royal Baking Powder Company.
 During the last year, including the contract just made under date of March 5, the Royal Baking Powder Company has supplied over 212, ,000 pounds, or 1O6 tons, of baking powder for the United States Government and its Army and Navy officers.
 For many years the Government has given its orders for Royal Baking Pow der in preference to all others, it being found that this is the only Baking Pow der that will keep and retain its strength in the various climates to which it is sent by the Department.
 Whenever the Government wants the most trustworthy article and the best in quality It prefers the Royal, as this brand was found to be superior to all others in leavening power by the off cial chemical tests, made at the instance of the Government, in the Agricultural Department, at Washington.

The Spring,

Of all seasons in the year, is the one for making radical changes in regard to health. During the winter, the system becomes to a certain extent clogGed with waste, and the blood loaded with impurities, owing to lack of exercise,
 close confinement in poorly ventilated shops and homes, and other causes.
 This is the cause of the dull. sluggish, tired feeling so general at this season. and which must be overcome. or the health may be entirely broken down.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite Spring Medicine, It ex- pels the accumulation of impurities through the bowels, kidneys, liver,
 lungs and skin, gives to the blood the purity and quality necessary to good health and ovsrcomss that tired feeling.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The First Nomination for Judge of Pro- bate.


 Editor of Me Ne,os:
 Dear Sir,
 am sure everyone regrets the la- mentable death of Col Harden bergh, an honest citizen, an upright Judge. We have other honest and upright citizens but it seems to me that the number is limited in the Probate District of Canaan who are qualified by nature and training to take the Colonels place as Judge. For years Judge Hardenbergh' s pre-eminent qualifications for the office secured him the united support of vot- CTS of every party, Democrats, Republi- cans, Prohibitionists and even the apos- tie of Truth" laid aside all political differences and voted for the best man. So ought it to be now. Party politics ought not to enter into our considera- ton when we elect Judge of Probate. Proper respect for the memory of a just Judge demands that we put our best man in his place. It seems to me LudI udu IS DdflU V. W Iul Whittlesey is well known to us all; he is identified with the interests of this dis trict by birth, years of residence and family ties. and his eight years of law study and practice make him peculiarly fitted to fill this position acceptably. He would also be most appropriate choice in view of the fact that he began his law studies in the Colonel's office. Let the mantle of the learn ed preceptor fall upon his worthy pupil.
 NoN-PARTISAN. Canaan, Conn.,, April 12, 1892.
 The senior editor of the NEWS hearti- ly endorses the foregoing letter, and also wishes to state that during Mr Whittlesey's connection with the NEWS he has performed his duties with the utmost fidelity. We sincerely hope that this Probate district will honor it. self by electing David 0. Whittlesey Judge of Probate. s. B.
