Mr.. Harris's experience In the use of " Gold

one. Thousands Of eminent people in all
parts OF the world testify, in just as emphatic
language, to its marvellous curative powers
over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and
kindred diseases.
Eminent physicians prescribe "Golden
Medical Discovery" when any of their dear
ones lives are imperilled by that dread dis
case, Consumption. Under such circum-
stances only the most reliable remedy would
be depended upon. The following letter is to
the point. It is from an eminent physician Of
Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark. He says !:
Consumption is hereditary in my wife's
family some have already died with the dis
ease. Ny wife has sister, Mrs. e. A.
Cleary, that was taken with consumption.
She used DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, and, to the surprise Of her many friends,
she got well. My wife has also had hem
orrhages from the lungs, and her sister In
sisted on her using the Golden Medical Dis.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
Laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
nfactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

Birds That Can Sew.

Sewing seems so ingenious an art
that it must be reserved for the human
species alone Yet the tailor bird, the
Orthotomus longicauda, and other spe-
cies possess the clements of it. They
place their nests in Il large leaf which
they prepare to this end. With their
beaks they pierce two rows of holes
along the lower edges of the leaf; they
then pass Il stout thread from one side
to the other alternately. With this
leaf, at first fiat. they form Il horn in
which they weave their nest with cot
ton or hair. These lahorS of weaving
and sewing are preceded by the spin
ming of the thread. The bird makes
it itself by twisting in its beak spiders
webs, bits of cotton and little endS of
wool. Sykes found that the threads
used for sewing were knOtted at the
cnds.-Popular Science Monthly.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST RESID ENT OF
 NEWTOWN.

Jeremiah Troy, the oldest person in Newrown undoubtedly, died at the home of his sister-in.law, Mrs Hannah Troy in Berkshire, early Sunday morning. He had been ailing sometime, but was not compelled to take the bed till about 10 days before his death. The demise was the dissolution incident to old age, there being decay of physical powers, though his mental power was not entirely dull until in the shadow of death. He knew his attendants an hour before his death. Jeremiah (better known as Darby Troy), the deceased, was born in Ireland in 1793, being the eldest of four brothers and one sister, all of whom are dead but James, who is now living at the age of S4 in Ire land. He learned the trade of tailor in his county of Limerick and worked in New York at 1t for several years after emigrating to this country, which event happened to him as it did to many in the famine year of 1S49. Over 35 years ago he took up his residence here with his brother, Patrick, where he lived till hls death. He worked at his trade in this town for number ot years. His funer- al occurred Tuesday from St Roses church and was largely attended. The pail bearers were old neighbors: Martin Kelley, Jerry Carey, William Shea, Michael Haugh, Patrick Heating and Timothy Costello.

BURGLARS AT THE HOOK.

THEY TRY TO GAIN ADMISSION TO THE
 STORE OF WARNER, TAYLOR & CURTIS.
 THEY CARRY NOTHING AWAY SAVE A
 DOSE OF GUN SHOT.
 The series of burglar ies in Watertown, North Woodbury and Southbury, this week, caused people to believe that this town might not be omitted fro m the un- welcome visitation of the night prowlers, and such proved to be the case. On Tuesday evening on going to supper, Mir Taylor, of the firm, noticed near the bridge several very suspicious looking characters. Later in the evening one wis., ited the store of Warner, Taylor & Cur tis and begged for some tobacco, while a second asked for loan of half a candle at the store of Terrill, Betts & Co. He desired to write letter. Bearing these things in mind Mr Taylor, MT Curtis and Mir Bull, on coming from the donation at Rev Mir Wright's, repaired to the store of Warner, Taylor & Curtis, where they se- cured their guns, remarking in a joking way that they might come in use. They next went to Mir Bulls store and teie- phoned up Street, enquiring at what time the last tramps were put in the lock-up. Messrs Curtis and Taylor then repaired to the residence of s. F. Glover. About 1.l5 a. m., they heard a noise at the store anu iOohiI& Oub ulsCoNSTSu utu Ou the stoop, trying evidently to gain ad- mission by the door. Raising the win dow, one of them shouted What's going on down there." The burglars didn't stop to answer, but started on a run down the road. Messrs Curtis and Tay- Tor stepped out oL the grouCd and the former fired his gun at them, whereupon the burglors returned the compliment with some pistol shots. Mir Taylor then shot twice, and both Messrs Taylor and Curtis are sure they marked their men, although they didn't bring 'em down. It Ia possible that these burglars were not the toughs seen on the street the evening previous. Tursday evening the operator at Hawleyville overheard three tramps talking about "Doing a job at Sandy Hook" He immediately telegraphed his suspicious to the Hook operator, who was alone and unabls to secure anyone to take the message up, although he made the effort. There is little doubt but that the same parties are concerned in this series of rural burglaries, and the sooner they are brought to bay the better the public will appreciate it.
