ANTICS OF THE LIGHTNING.

The lightning struck several places around town, during the heavy shower last week. An elm in front of Lewis Curtis residence was visited for the sec- ond time. It followed the wires into the hardware store and burned out the tele- phone. The Housatonic club house was also~struck and the man in charge stun ned, and the blacksmith shop at the gravel pit had some of it's windows knocked out. No very serious damage in any case.

MeSSrS. EditorS,-A LADY, rightly remarka
that 1t is not necessary to bind yourself
down hard and fast to the directions for
the ElectropOise. When first saw these
directions, 1t II ade me think the article was
another of the many f, auds that are nm
scrupously put upon market of pain and
trouble. However l did not like TO throw
IL over without trial, not only becauss
II promised so much, but because il was so
wei and lptiuentially backed
need hardly say that the trial has given
more than satisfaction. MY wife and have
been now in this trying climate over q
year ana had not one days illness. and
during this time we have not taken one
drop or grain of medicine
ne Electropoise is worth its weight in
gold II 1t only cured as medicine does. but
II does more, 1t prevents sickness.
e use 1t just when we feel weary. and
generally for four or five nights in success.
ION while this is not exactly ACCORDING to
directions do not want to eI courage anv.
one to depart from the directions but
only "lsh 10 show that like any other good
arIIcle u e directions are a little pliable.
From my experience with the Electro
poise, l am persuaded thatif directions are

what 1t can do by adaptation or to what
extent IL can be adapted remains to be

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR
Is 9 4.


The CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
has an established character and
reputation, which will be faithfully
maintained, as a representative of
evangelical religion and of the
principles and polity of the Pres
byterian Church. We are gratifed
by the commentator it has re-
ceived in every part of the Church,
and by the assurance that it is pre-.
eminently the religious paper for
all the Christian families into
which it has been introduced. We
ask the aid of pastors, church ses-
sions, and all our present subscrib-
ers to increase it's circulation and
secure its introduction into the
families not already supplied.
There are many families in every
congregation in which no religious
paper is taken, and every such
family is deprived of one of the
most necessary agencies for health
full religious life and active Chris
tian work. The effort to secure
subscriptions will succeed, wher-
ever made.
We make the following special
offers for 1894, viz:
1. Any subscriber who will, with
his own subscription, send the name
of new subscriber, shall have the
paper sent, for one year, to the two
for 81. If he will send the names
of two new subscribers, the paper
will be sent, for one year, to the
three for SIS. Any one who may
not be able to secure another sub
scriber to unite with him, may,
however, send the paper to some
family not able to pay for it and
who would greatly prize it.
2. To any one who will send us
hoenty nelo subscribers we will pay
$26.
3. For Is new subscribers we will
pay S18 for 10 we will pay SO
for any number less than 10 We
will pay a commission of ST for
each new subscriber.
New subscribers for 1894 will re-
ceive the paper from the date of the
subscription to January next with
out any additional charge. We
hope there will be many responses
to these offers. 1t is only with the
expectation of retaining these new
names as permanent subscribers,
that we can afford to pay these
large commissions for the first year.
