OBITUARY..

News has been received OF the death at his
home in Newark, o., on the 18th inst, OF John
". Benedict, aged Is years. His ailment WAS
heart disease. He was born in Weybridge,
June IS, 1917. OF a family OF nine children.
two only now remain, Dea. j. B. Benedict OF
Middlebury and his twin sister, Mrs. Chester
Pratt OF Bridport. John W. Benedict went to
Newark 20 years ago and passed the remainder
OF his life there. He had been in the hardware,
grocery AMI coal trade and was tor some time
interested in wooden mill. Impaired health
ecessiated his retirement from business
four years ago. He was married in 1874 to a
Newark lady, who survives. No children
were born to them. local paper says: THE
deceased was Il member OF the first NJ. 4.
sistent Christian. He was a kind husband
aud an excellent citizen, who won the love
and respect OF all with whom he came in
business or social intercourse"
The people in the northern part of the
county sustained a serious loss in the death
OF DR.. II +. Cram, which occurred Mt his
home in Ferrisburgh IN Saturday. He had
been i'll all winter with form Ut heart dis
ease. His age was 30 years. lie was educat-
| ed at the old academy near his fathers home,
eX-GOV. Stewart being among his early teach
erS, and at thu university of Vermont where
| ne took the regular college course, and from
which he graduated in medicine in 1883 In
| 1860 he began practice in FerriSDurgh, sue
ceeded his father, ana continued in the work
| till his health failed in the early winter. He
was an enthusiast in his profession II man of
exceptionable natural ability and widely
! read. HIS practice was large. probably too
large tor any one man to carry on. He al
ways worked beyond his strength. and quite
| likely his days were much shortened by his
undue exertions. He never married: A
brother, Henry NJ. Cram, who died in Bur
lingtOn some ten years ago, left two daugh-
tiers, who are all that remain OF the family
| DR.. Cram represented his town in the legls-
lature OF 1874. The funeral was from the Con.
gregationsl chirc in Ferrisburgh at II o..
| clock Tuesday morning.

to be provided for. The assets of the
district were $4597.09, leaving the sum
of $3923.63 to be paid by tax. The estl-
mated expenses for the next year were :
Teachers, 5000; anitor and cleaning,

of the old five per cent building orders,
for $500, had been paid during the year,
leaving the building debt $1,000. Mr..

buttons had been over 800 and were
the largest in the history of the school.

were accepted and adopted.
The old officers were reelected, as fol-
lows: Prudential committee, A. j. Mar
shall, c. NJ. Wilds, L. +. Mellen, Prof.
7. E. Boyce, E. II. Thorp; treasurer, c.
<. Pnney; collector, M. A. Munroe
auditor, B. S. Beckwith.
Mr.. Beckwith said that tax of 30
cents on the dollar of the grand list
would raise about $4,000. That tax was
accordingly voted. 1t was voted, also,
to allow a discount of per cent on taxes
paid on or before Sept. /.
The voters thought 1t was not best to
pay any of the building debt this year,

MRS. MILLIONS RIDE.

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she
travels forth in state,
Her horses, full of fire and pride, &c
prancing from the gate;
But all the beauties of the day she
views with languid eye,
Her flesh In weakness wastes away, heT
voice is but sigh.
For Mrs. Million is in an advanced
stage of catarrh, and all the luxuries that
wealth can buy fail to give her comfort
She envies her rosy wating-maid, and
would give all her riches for that young
womans pure breath and blooming
health. Now, If some true and disinter-
ested friend would advise Mrs. Million OF
the wonderful merits of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, she would learn that
her case is not past help. $500 reward
is offered by the manufacturers for a
case of catarrh in the head which they
cannot cure.

medicine. All my family join me in one
great health giving remedy! have told
every one of my friends, far and near,
and you see they cannot help believing
for here am a living witness TO show
what has been done for me-"
Can anything be added to this?
The sick and suffering should certainly
use so marvellous health glver as this
great remedy appears to be. Especially
should all use it now for it is the most
excellent of all spring medicines to in
vigorate the blood, strengthen the nerves
and regulate all the organs. 1t is purely
vegetable and harmless, and druggists
keep it for 81 per hottie.
Doctors recommend and prescribe it
because it is the discovery and prescrip-
tlon of an eminent physician, DR.. Greene,
of "a Temple place, Boston, Mass. the
successful specialist in curing all forms
of nervous and chronic diseases. The
doctor can be consulted free, personally
or by letter.
