YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION.

I
 Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is impure, and without doubt there has been too much over- work or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such condition is plain and simple. The blood must first be purified so that the nervous system, and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people without number have testified that the best blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength imparting medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep and general debility all vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is consistently taken: in word, health and happiness fellow after taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

WEST MORRIS.

A West Morris man has struck new idea, that of keeping the flies off horses and oxen while working in the field, and that is by making smoker out of a large tin pail or milk can with a>spout attached and a rubber hose connected with bellows, and is operated on the principle of a Scotch bagpipe. The ma blast furnace. Phe machine is carried around the field by good strong boy, who keeps on the windward side of the plowboy and team. The flies have been very numerous and troublesome, this year, and we think the farmers will ap- preciate the invention.

A SERIOUS FALL.

Mrs Peck, while her husband went down cellar late in the evening, taking the light with him, rose up to enter her bed room and by some false reckoning went to the second open door and was precip- itated to the bottom of the cellar stairs, the cellar wall being near. She cut a wide gash in her forehead, but broke no bones. With her husbands aid she crawl ed up stairs. He did what he could to allay the flow of blood, then went for help. Dr Marcy was sent for, sewed up the wound, taking nine stitches. She is doing well. It is a wonder the fall was not fatal. I knew of man who visited his son in Lee, Mass. Instead of open ing the hall door he opened the one lead ing to the cellar and went down head first, but without serious injury. Ten years after he made another visit and the mistake this time was fatal. He broke his neck.

A DELIGHTFUL ANNIVERSARY.

A pleasant social event took place last Friday evening. It took the form of a surprise party of his musical friends to Dea James H. Linsley, who are now, or, at various times in the last half century have been members of the First Congre- gational church choir. The call was quite surprise to Deacon Linsley. It was given in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of his admission to the choir, of which he is still member, with music al powers unabated, having joined the choir at the age of 13. For F of the past 55 years he has been the very acceptable leader of the choir. After considerable time spent in social amenities, and the rendering of songs and hymns, ancient and modern, Rev MT Freeman address ed MT Linsley few pertinent remarks and presented him with beautiful god headed cane, which had been procured by the choir and it's friends. MT Linsley replied in happy, feeling and delicious manner. MT Freeman also read paper, prepared by William Cothren and address ed to MrsLinsley as one of the two old comrades of 50 years ago still surviving, calling to mind the history of the choir for the last 225 years, and briefly re- counting some of the beautiful and happy musical gatherings in the last half cen | tury in which they as comrades had stood shoulder to shoulder. Bountiful l refreshments followed. The assemblage was large. Finally after exchanging pleasant greetings, all retired to their homes much pleased with the evenings entertainment.
