IN PRIVATE PRACTICE.

Such strong proofs of the marvellous cures made by Dr David Kennedy's Fa- vorite remedy have been brought to pub lie notice lately through the various newspaper investigations, that it has be- come now the standard medicine for the diseases for which it is prepared.
 pr G H. Ingraham. of Amsterdam, N. Y, states where the regular prescrip- tions used in a case of kidney disease and gravel utterly failed, he prescribed Dr kennedy's Favorite remedy, and 1t cured the patient.
 pr illiam Smith, of Jewett's Heights, N. Y., prescribed Favorite Remedy for Mrs Casper Brooks, of Athens, N. I., who was suffering from kidney disease, alteration of the stomach, complicated with sickness peculiar to her sex; after the second day, steady improvement was noted, aud final permanent recovery.
 Dr Kennedy's favorire remedy acts di- rectly upon kidneys, liver and blood, in cases of nervousness, dyspepsia, rheu- matism and Bright's disease; it has made most pronounced cures, after all other treatments have failed. Druggists sell it.

THE NEW PEDDLERS' LICENSE LAW.
 Considerable dissatisfaction is being expressed by peddlers going into towns whose off cials have taken advantage of the license law enacted by the last gen. eral assembly relative to non residents selling goods. In some towns the rhagis- trates have placed the license fee for vendors at $l00, while others consider 800 or $90 as sufficient tax. In many in- stances the officials are merchants in the town and when man applies for li- cense to sell goods whose line is the same as they sell, they will charge him whose sales will not materially interfere with their interests is let off easily. The dissatisfaction is where such partiality is shown. Favoritism has cropped out at intervals since the creation of man, but more frequently has not been placed on exhibition at all. In this case, however, the law, if enforced at all, should treat every man liable to it's penalty alike. Officials elected by the people are their agents to carry out their wishes and not to serve their own selfish ends, as is fre- quently the case where this law is ap- piled. The framers of the law, no doubt wished to rid the towns and cities of the basket peddlers who have grown nu- merically strong for the past few years, but if it works in all places as it did in Ansonia, when, a few years ago, she passed city ordinance prohibiting non residents selling goods without license, it will prove miserable failure. At that time most of the vendors of stocking yarn and cheap jewellery came in from New Haven and returned with the days proceeds. After the law came into force many of them moved into town and set tied on the Sand" and, as a result, have not proved very desirable residents
 The magistrates here have decided not to take any action on the state law at present if at all. A peddler who travels through the Naugatuck Valley informs your correspondent that in one towr where he has been for the past l7 years | they cuaTSeu ulHl uuueI tile neW ItS liut at the rate of S2 per day or Sl00 year as it was good field he concluded to gc to work and make the people make goo(
 his license by overcharging for his goods
 This is one instance where the people ar,
 reaping the benefit of the new law.

A FLAG RAISING.

The Diamond Hill school was the first in town to send the stars and stripes floating to the .breezes. Monday, Octo- Der 3, about 30 friends and neighbors as- sembled at the school house at 2.30 D. m,, for the pleasure of listening to the exer- cises on this occasion. The program was as follows: Singing, "America ;' read ing, "Origin of the Flag" Miss Eloise Selleck; recitation, Oliver c. Banks rec itation, Barbara Frietchie," Miss Mat tie B. Field; song, EsStar Spangled Ban ner;" recitation, Joel F. Selleck: recita- tion, Florence l.. Banks; reading, Miss Grace Boughton. After the exercises, the pupils filed out of the room and sta tioned themselves at the west of the flag pole which had been set just north of the building. Then the smallest scholar, Or rin Platt, raised the flag which was sa- luted by thes school, the prettiest feature of the afternoon. Hon E. P. Shaw then delivered speech in his usual able man. ner and three cheers were enthusiastical- ly given for "Old Glory.'' The school house was finely decorated with flags, autumn leaves and flowers and the schOl- ars wore the national colors. Much credit is due Miss Carpenter, the teacher, for the success of the program and the day will long be remembered by the pupils of Diamond Hill as the one on which our flag was flung to the breeze as signal of patriotism to them in their future.
