HAPPENINGS AT TRE CONGREGATIONAL
 CHURCH.

All the members of the church and congregation are urged to bring to the church either on Friday afternoon, or on Saturday, of next week, liberal donations of apples, potatoes or any kind of vege- tables or fruits. These will be used in the decoration of the church for the Har- vest Home service on the following Sum- day morning, October 2S, and immedi- ately afterwards will be sent to the or phan asylum in Bridgeport. As in this institution there are generally some little children suffering from acute diseases, contributions of jellies, or whatever deli- cacy might be used in the sick room, would be especially acceptable.
 The sum of $4.25 has been sent, the re- suit of the collection at the missionary meeting last Sunday evening, through the American Board to the native school in the Bihe mission, West Central Afri- ca.
 The committees on decoration and pro- gram have been very busy the past week in planning the Harvest Home service, which is to be given in the Congregation al church on Sunday morning, October 2S. All who attended this service, last year, will recall with pleasure the great pyramid of vegetables and fruits which equalled the gallery railing in height. A surprise, which, it is hoped, will be a most pleasant one awaits the people, this in, hn lanorofsnn nf ho church. The children of the Sunday school will have the major part of the service and some novel and pretty fea- lures will be introduced into the pro- gram. The exercises begin at II o'clock the usual hour of morsing service. Let the parents make special effort to come and bring the little ones.

A JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

Fifty years is long time-much more than the average lifetime. Men, therefore, natu rally note such periods Just now Messrs Perry, Davis & Son, of Providence, R. l., the proprietors of Pain Killer, are celebrating th' jubilee of that good old household remedy and have doubled the capacity oftheir botttes without increasing the price. This will O course made Pain Killer more popular than ever. For Fifty years it has been the family medicine chest in countless homes in every country on the globe. Once given trial ii stays in any home, where, when anything happens. the bottle is reached for.
 When one reflects that two years is the av craze life ot 8 patent medicine. these fit. years prove very plainly that if Pain Killei had not been all that it claims, it would have gone into oblivion long years ago. The olt limitations of Pain Killer have gone the way of all substitutes, and the newer "just a. goods" are following on, for as long as som' things are recognized as better than others Pain Killer will be recognized as the best an, quickest relief for internal or external pain when anything happens to you or yours nine times out of ten yon can cure it yoursei with Pain Killer.

THE srILLsoN HOUSE BURNED.

Sunday night about half past ten, the family of Alfred and Luther Stillson were awakened by the smell of smoke and on Investigating discovered their house was on fire. A strong wind was blowing and soon the house and shop nearby, were mass of flames. The family were unable to save but very lit- tie of the furniture or clothing. About 40 bushel of potatoes in the cellar were destroyed. MT Stillson lost his mason tools, besides lot of carpenter and farming tools. It is supposed the fire originated from the pipe or chimney in the kitch n. It is a serious loss to the family as their property was not insured. The house was built about 100 years ago by David Stillson. They are living in the Crofutt place for the present.
