OUR ROADS.

Several of our citizens have recently spoken to us in regard to the very un- satisfactory condition of the highways in this town, and expressed the wish that the NEWS would say something on the subject. We therefore declare with all due editorial solemnity and earnest ness that, in the language of 8 venerable divine, our roads are "damnable ," They are not only very sandy, but there are numerous rocks in them, which have come to the surface, and are not removed. In fact nobody will pre- tend for one moment that we have good roads in Canaan or that an ything is be- ing done to secure permanently good roads.
 Of course the roads cannot all be made good in one year; the work must be done gradually year by year. Our town ought every year to devote DOT ton of the sum, appropriated for the highways, to making one section of the roads permanently good. say by carting on gravel, and the remainder of the ap- propriation can be used in keeping the roads generally in decent condition. This is the best we can do, but we can do this, and if we do it we shall have good roads in time.
 We hope that at the next town meet ing some wise and energetic course will be taken in the matter of our highways.

FOR AVOIDING CHOLERA.
A Circular of Information on the Sub.
 ject from the State Board of Health.

A Circular of Information on the Sub-
 ject from the State Board of Health.
 In circular No 61 issued by the State board of Health most explicit directions are given for avoiding the cholera and preventing its spread. Cholera cannot exist unless the germ gains access to the intestinal canal. The tendency to infection varies among individuals. The normal acid juices of the stomach can destroy the infections. But by any in- discretions of diet or other influence the digestive powers are impaired or en- feebled. great multiplication of the germ becomes possible. Hence the impor- tance of regular habits of life-of care ful preservation of good digestive pow CTS. Particularly avoid drinking water between meals.
 Personal precautions are few and sim pie: A plain nutritious diet, meals at regular hours; indulge in no excess of eating or drinking, especially of alco- holio stimulents or ice water; never eat without washing the hands; avoid high excitement, great fatigue and taking cold, and keep cheerful Persons who are in vigorous health and live cleanly, regular lives rarely take cholera. Its victims are mostly among the dissipated and dirty. Finally the thorough boiling of milk or water before using it, while cholera is prevailing, is never to be neg lected. In the presence of an epidemic all food should be eaten freshly cooked, because the heat kills the infection.
 For the disenfection of the excreta of the patient the formula is: Fresh chlo- ride of lime in solution, parts to 100. Corrosive sublimate, permanganate of potash, of each | of an ounce to a gallon of water. Of either of the above solu. tions, a half pint or more should be placed in the bed-pan or chamber-pot before the patient uses it.
 For washing the hands, and the gen. eral surface of the body of the nurses, and of the convalescents when changing their clothing to leave the sick room, either the above solutions of chloride oi lime or of carbolic acid, or: The solution of chlorinated soda, diluted with parts of water q to 10.)
 To disinfect garbage heaps, ,cesspools drains, etc., use 50 pounds of copperas (sulphate of iron, green vitrIoD to bar rel of water, or II pounds to gallon It may be used freely and repeated as often as odors arise. It is cheap snd efficient. About four gallons are re quired to disinfect au ordinary vaul used by one family. A smaller quantity may then be poured in occasionally For sink pipes and water closets, ont pound of nitrate of lead to a gallon O water. Use freely.

The Cholera.

We hope and believe that the health authotities will succeed in preventing the spread of the cholera by strict quar- antine regulations, as was done in 1845, but it is we'll to know that the disease can only be caught by taking the bacilli into the stomach in some way. These bacilli usually find their way into the system in the food and drink. The bacilli are always destroyed by great heat and by frost. It follows, therefore, that by eating or drinking nothing that is not thoroughly cooked, not even milk or water, and being particular in regard to personal cleanliness, (washing the hands especially the danger of taking the disease is very much reduced.
 Sir Edwin Arnold, who has passed much time in the East, says that five drops of hydro chloric acid in cup of ten every second morning, is sure pre- ventive of cholera.

DeafDess Can't he Cured

by local applications, as 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 infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and wien it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's 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.
