Beware OF Ulntments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces, Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable ply
sicians, as the damages they will do
is ten fold TO the good you can posi-
bly, derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by + j Cheney &
Co., Toledo, o., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surface of
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure, be sure you get the genuine. 1t

The town was much excited, Sunday, by the report that Dr c. H. Osborn, wife and daughter had been killed in the aw- ful railroad collision at Battle Creek, Mich. The Associated Press had sent out the following telegram: ''C. T. Beardsley of Springfield, Mass, one of the passengers on the wrecked cars, says Dr Carter H. Osborn and wife of Southport, Conn.,, and Castor Rice of Brookside,> Vt., were in the car with him. He has searched for them unavailingly since the wreck. They are supposed to be among the dead" It was hoped that he was not passenger on the train, but a telegram sent to Niagara Falls, said he left there on the wrecked train. It was then supposed that Dr Osborn and family were among the unidentified dead. Telegrams were Sent to the Con- necticut building and other places in Chicago. On Monday, letter was re- ceived by Mrs Edwin Sherwood from Dr Osborn saying that he and his family were in Chicago uninjured, but greatly shaken up. He says the scene was hor- rible and will never be forgotten. It was indeed a very narrow escape, as they were in the car which was so badly wrecked. pr Osborn's many friends are greatly relieved and rejoice over the good news.

the common paupers of the town. The true facts of the case are as follows: At the time of the death of Johnson B. Ward Ca soldier of the late war) while making the funeral arrangements with Undertak- CT Sherman, he informed the writer that "Every soldier, at time of death, was en- titled to $35 from the state, towards fun eral expenses" The amount was accept ed in the same spirit that soldier or his widow accepts pension, but not as town charity, as aid was not solicited from the town. The seleetmen were in error in signing such an illegal bill, for the law reads, "When a soldier shall die, being at the oirne of his death legal res- idec. of this state and not having suffic- tent estate to pay the necessary funeral expenses of his burial, the state shall pay the sum of $33 towards such funeral ex- penses," etc. With such a law, which was enacted in 1889, how could the se- lectmen sign the bill, and then the town clerk pay it? As Johnson Ward died possessed of real estate and personal property, the state would not rey the bill, and without notifying the writer, the selectmen, to clear themselves, as the bill had been paid, chased it among the common paupers of the town, thus subjecting the family to undeserved dis tress and modification. The heirs of said Johnson B. Ward have returned to the treasurer of the town of Easton ,$35, not because solicited by the seectmen to do so, but as debt of honor, and in jus tice to all concerned this lengthy expla- nation is written.-[ Estella NJ.
