RURR HApTo OBEY.

The Vice President Was stopped on SUM
day by the Tithingman.
A relative of Deacon Highly. the
old tithingman of Milford Conn,
tells the story Of an encounter with
Aaron Burr when the latter was trav-
cling from Boston to New York while
he was vice president of the United
States. 1t has been told many times
but seldom accurately until now.
Deacon Highly. as tithingman. was
accustomed to sit between sunrise and
sunset every Sunday in the front gal
lery of the old Plymouth church on
the turnpike in this place From the
window he could command a view OF
the road for several miles east and
west and if any traveller passed on
pleasure or business bent he was
halted and compelled to stop over un-
til the sun had set. Mr.. Burr arrived
at Milford on Sunday morning. Dea-
con Highly saw the imposing equipage
coming toward the church. and ran
out to stop it. The positions drew
up at his word OF command. and Mr..
Burr asked. What's the matter?'
Deacon Highly told him that he
was breaking a law OF the state by
travelling on Sunday. and that he
must put up his horse and wait until
sunset Burr was somewhat aston
ished at the command, and after look
ing at the tall and imposing figure of
the tithingman who stood at the
horses heads he remarked as If
expecting to settle the question: But
am Aaron Burr vice president Of
the United States"
The deacon was no respecter OF
persons With an obeisance, he
replied: 1T makes no difference if
you are vice president of the United
States In the name of the God
serve and the country honor / for
bid you to pass through this place
until the sun has set
Burr instead OF defying the law.
obeyed the command and had his
horses put out and he and his retinue
took dinner in Buffers tavern, staying
until after the sun went down.
Deacon Highly often related the
incident to his friend and physician.
DIR. l. n. Beardsly. who repeated it
to the relative WHO tells the story
now. 1t removes the imputation that
Burr refused TO obey the law. and is
due to the memory of Deacon Highly,
who. in the performance of his duty,
was undismayed by show or title.

STARTLING EXPERIENCES.

He had stood on the footboard for

in the country he could tell where
were located the bad curves the weak

every town Of Importance. He was a

like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's cough remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When
this remedy is taken as soon as cold
has been contracted and before it has
become settled in the system; it will
counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, and it is
the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature
and aids nature in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretiOns, iquefying the
