BURGLARY AT BOTSFORD'S.

Last Sunday night the store of A. B Blakeman, at Botsford Depot, was enter ed by burglars. The thieves gained ad- mittance to the store by getting in one of the cellar windows and up the cellar stairs. They secured 20 or 9 pairs of gloves, pair of shoes, pair or two of boots, one-half dozen pen knives, $2 in postage stamps and about 50 pennies, amounting to about $25 in all. The track walker met man below Trum- bull, about 40 years of age, with a bun dle under his arm, walking the track towards Bridgeport, early in the morn ing. He also found a new glove just be- low Trumbull depot, and another about one and onG-half miles below Botsford Depot. It. would look as if the thief came outA from Bridgeport. Evidently ne knewY situation, as every night ex- cept Sugday night, the telegraph opera tor remains there all night.

Ex- Sheriff ot L lster County.
Hon David Winne Owes His Health to Dr David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.

Shandaken, N. Y.-One of the most prominent men in Ulster county, is the Hon Davis Winne, of this town. His reputation is not confined alone to this county where he held the office of sheriff for three years; he was also this distrit's representative in the New York state Legislature. For years Mir Winne has been suffering from complicated case of kidney and bladder trouble and con- gestion of the liver.
 Upon the advice of friends he decided | to try pr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. He was not disappointed, for in a short while after he began it's use, he was in better health than he had been in years | before.
 In speaking of Favorite Remedy to 1 your correspondents, Mr Winne said ''It | has done more for me than all the phy. sicians I ever employed, and I most un. hesitatlngly recommend it to anyone suffering from kidney, liver or urinary troubles, for it will relieve their suffer ing and cure them"
 l Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is to. day the acknowledged specific for all dis eases arising from acidity of the blood and will cure dyspepsia rheumatism, kid ney, liver and urinary troubles, scrofula eczema and all ailments brought abou by this cause.
 In a recent issue of New York Med ical Journal, Dr w. H. Morse, F. B. S.. of the New York City Medical Institut, says; "I must endorse Dr Kennedy Favorite Remedy, for have knowledg' of it's efficiency"
 Rev l. w. Hill, Pastor Methods Church, of Accord, N. Y., says; (" have used Dr Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy, and it cured me of blood disease and can speak of it in the highes term.''
 No man or woman can afford to trif with health and life. Putting off treat ment when dangerous symtoms exist, i only slow suicide. To avoid their fata effect, there is but one way, and that i by the aid of Dr Kennedy's Favorit Remedy; it has restored thousands t. health and strength. Try it and be con vinced.

Burn Your Own moke.

Eastern sages can be at times impress
sive The Talmudists often are, and some
fine sayings are quoted from Sa a'di--this,
for example:
''When thou interest not a word, thou
hast laid thy hand upon it. When thou
nast uttered it, it hath laid its hand on
thee
Quarles, we observe, has said the same
= thing, not quite with so stately an air:
& "Give not thy tongue too great a liber-
ty, lest it take thee prisoner. A word I'M
spoken is like thy sword in thy scabbard.
If vented, the sword is in another's hand
If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise
as to hold thy tongue"
But both sayings attach a certain exag-
gerated Importance to the utterance Of a
transient thought, as if that utterance
necessarily committed him who utters it to
act upon it throughout lifc. Modern think
ers make more allowance for speech as |,
sort of safety valve for surplus steam.
Goethe used to say that he gave utterance
to certain morbid feelings to get rid of
them, and certainly he got rid of his
Wertherism in that way. We do not think
that it was n very good way.
Perhaps Sadi and Quarles are the bet
ter advisers when they recommend you to
consume your own smoke without giving
it to the world But if you have given
utterance to an unwise view, as Goethe
did to spasmodic sentimentalism in
"Werther," it would be a great mistake
to regard yourself as bound in honor to de-
fend it after you had found out it's unwis-
dom. Levity Of speech is bad, but to let
levitH of speech lead to Ievity of action is
much worse.-LondOn Spectator.
