If you have any school books that you are through with, take them there and exchange them for others, or anything in the store that you wish.

 No disease is more common among the people than scrofula. Handed down from generation to generation, it is found in nearly every family, in some form. It may make it's appearance in dreadful running sores, in swellings in the neck or gnitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrance it may be known as catarrh, or developing in the lungs it may be, and often is, the prime cause of con- sumption.
 fest itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla is it's inveterate foe and conqueror. This medicine has such powerful alterative and vtalizing effects upon the blood that every trace of impurity is expelled, and the blood is made rich, pure and healthy.

THE ACADEMY STOCKHOLDERS MEET.

Monday evening the stockholders of
 the Newtown Academical Association
 held their annual meeting at the Acad-
 emy building. The meeting was not
 largely attended, but 57 shares of stock
 being represented. There was no busi-
 ness of importance to come before the
 meeting which probably accounts for the
 lack of interest. In the absence of Pres
 ident Linsley, Prof Platt was chosen to
 act as president pro tenn. The treasur-
 er's report showed that by taking two
 cents out of his pocket, the finances of
 the association stood even. A summary of his report was as follows:

At my audacity. "Oh, dear.
Forgive me- quick I said:

Her injured glance l dared not meet.
But walked with downcast head
So through the shadowy lane that night
We passed in silence, while the light
Fell in a silveTy calm;
And drowsily the summer breeze
Swept DER the snowy clover seas,
And filled the air with balm.
When at the gate 1 coidly said
Goodnight" she raised her graceful
head.
And soft I heard her say
Dear, you might-you might" trembling

Just hurt my feelings once again
