MARBLEDALE.
THAT LIBERAL OFFER.

It is a pretty well settled fact that the people of this place, hardly expected to receive word tbat the good folks of New town would care to get any of the snow, "the snow, the beautiful snow" of Mar bledale. Nevertheless, the offer was made and it certainly shows the good will of the Marbledalians towards the historic village of Newtown. This week the offer cannot be renewed, since the snow is largely thing of the past. And since such is the case and as we have had some very disagreeable adventures in travelling over, through and in the snow banks, ought not some lessons to be learned by town officials for their future good and the comfort of people? For in- stance would it not have been wise and economical to have put gang of men to work to clear away the deepest snow banks in the highways? If it had been done while the days were fine, there would have been no fearful water soaked snow banks for poor horses to wade through to the terror of people and the possible injury of mans faithful friend, the horse.

RHEUMATISM PREVALENT,
Caused by the Sudden Changes of
 Temperature.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND RELIEF.

Rheumatism is more prevalent here than ever before
 When this disease fastens upon an in- dividual with it's soreness and pain. swelling the joints, rendering him helpless in his movements. and shattering his use fulness, he is indeed an object of pity.
 The slight pain in the back. pain or stiff ness of the joints or muscles, is warning indication of an Impoverished condition of the blood, low state of health, and if not attended to at once, means rheu- matism.
 Rheumatism ,an now be relieved and cured.
 Since the introduction of Favorite Rem edy, by Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., there has been fewer sufferers than ever before,
 Favorite Remedy drives out rheumatic poison from the blood, restores the circu- lation, strengthens the nerve power.
 The best proof of its value is the good 1t has done. "I was afflicted with infiammatory -rheuma. East Nassau o sexers sf that as or posed to be a cripple for life. Under physicians m Remedy eene geew @ fro Dr. R 1t, and entirely cured me Have felt uo trace of the disease since, and that was three years ago"
 The beautiful daughter of Mr. James MIG f'arland, or DeMoines, la, was help less for months with sciatic rheumatism. After few doses of Dr. Kennedy's Fav- orite Remedy, she began to grow better, appetite impro we'd, slept well, and con. tinuing it's use, was cured.
 "I was confined to my bed with rheumatism near my heart WI ties Mir c. L. Seaver, of Bir mingham, Conn, and used Dr. Kennedy s Favor ite Remedy but short while before it drove tho rheumatism out of my system."
 MT O: Lansing. of Troy, N. Y, hat rheum atism so bad that he-had tn bs turned over in bed After using Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy but a shor while was restored to health.
 F What reason then for suffering witt rheumatism or neuralgia. This medicin will help you if given trial. -

A VALIANT LOVER.

The blockade of cross roads from one town to another still continues. A few main roads have been barely passable. 1t Is three weeks since some of the roads have been passed. At the commence meut of the snow storms young Romeo from out-of-town came to see his flair one,' and at midnight found banks i'm passable and called up a friend to shelter self and horse. For two days "the wind 1t blew and the snow 1t flew" while Gu pid's votary remained weather bound next week another trial. Roads unopen. ed. As love could not go through a stone wall, horse and sleigh carried it over tC the desired destination, only to repeat former experiences. The old adage was verified

AN OLD FASHIONED RIDE.

Editor BEE: While refused to act as your correspondent 1 promised to send you anything that seemed of interest a little out of the ordinary over my sigma ture. The following graphic descrip- ton of a ride from Marketable to Bald win Hill, in the month of March is out of the ordinary and although not writ ten for publication seems worth preserv- ing in your columns for future reference. Last Tuesday F- and N came up and we all went up on to Baldwin Hill on an OK sled and took J--by surprise. Dewitt took his oxen and George his sled. We turned into the sherman Morehouae lot just above the dug way, and then went off back through the back lots and under the old chestnut trees and out through the old barnyard by the lower barn. Then across .he road into the meadow and brought up at the other barn. There was no such thing as going rod in the road then. Every morning for a week past, even the bar ways have had to be shoveled out You ought to have seen the snow drifts around the house! Since then there has been a washout in the gulley and they can't even get through with a sled. We found J. very comfortably but she says she don't want to see any more snow nor have the wind blow. It kept her awake all one night. We car ried nice lot of provisions and got up big dinner and made her the guest of the occasion. It made quite a break for her in the monotony of her "shut in" winter and we all had delightful time.-G A.S.B.

The sudden death of MT Mannering was of such nature as to arouse suspic- ion and the cause of his death is being in- vestigated by the coroner. Mannering was in the prime of life, somewhat

There was also two pigs that died the next day, for some unknown cause I ot yet made public, although they have been examined to learn the cause.
