Judge Robinson Dead.

Judge James T. Robinson. aged 73 years, died at his home in North Adams, Mass. ,on the 21st. inst. after finger ing illness. He had been confined to the house most of the time since the accident which befel him last Decem- Der, in which he sustained broken leg
 Judge Robinson was born in North Adams in 1922 and entered Williams College in the class of lS44 In 1855 the degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by this college. from which, how ever, he never graduated. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1846. He was a free soil man, and later joined the re- publican party when it was formed. In 1852 he was chosen state senator, and again chosen in 1859. He held the office of Judge of Probate from 1859 until the time of his death. In 1866 Judge Robinson bought the North Adams Transcript, which, in connection with his son Arthur, he has since con- ducted with phenominal success.
 Judge Robinson was natural orator, and his patriotic speeches during the dark days of the civil war were of in- estimable benefit to the Union cause. In those days the present editor of the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS was boy and lived in North Adams, but he we'll remembers hearing the 4th. of July orations of Judge Robinson and the late Hon Martin I. Townsend, of Troy. N '. At that time there were many copperheads in North Adams who made a strong effort to prevent the enlistment of Union volunteerA The copperheads created reign of terror in North Adams and came near precipitating a riot. But the fearless and patriotic speeches of Judge Robinson, coupled with his lion-like courage, rallied tho loyal citizens and thus the copperheads were dismayed and a riot and blood shed were prevented. A riot did occur in Troy, and Mir Townsend's house was sacked nevertheless such persecution could not suppress MT Townsend's loy- alty, and in his speech at Norih-1t.@.ams he said "Uncle Sam can whip theSouth- ern Confederacy and its ally, that great, big, bulliken, bully. John Bull" The speeches of Judge Robinson were equal ly fearless, patriotic and emphatic and infused as much courage into the hearts of the loyal men of North Adams and vicinity as would the presence of regiment of Union soldiers.
 Judge Robinson departs this life crowned with years, and crowned with honors richly deserved. His memory is precious. His good name is an un- dying heritage to his family, and to the town where he was born and where his long, active and useful life was spent.

Deafne.. Can. be curea

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars, free.
