The next entertainment OF the Branch
society will be box sociable at Joseph
Tilson's, Saturday evening, March 10th.
Everybody is cordially invited.
The poverty sociable at j. Battles will
long be remembered BY those present.
Those who had any scruples about their
dress were at once relieved when met at
the door by Miss ida and Mrs. Dana Bat
ties. The grand march can best be de-
scribed as twenty five travelling scare
crows. The humorous recitation by Miss
Celia Williams and the witty little speech
on Fashion" by George Flint were well
received. Next came the inspection of
costumes by the judges, which created
much amusement but brought in small
returns. The prize was awarded Frank
Campbell, although there were twenty
Others that only lacked one degree. The
BOBBY prize was given F. H. Cleveland.
There were several other well-dressed
people present but all thought best to
gain the goodwill OF the overseer of the
poor. The refreshments consisted OF
"bean porridge hot" pickles, pumpkin
pie and gingerbread served in the help
yourself style OF our ancestors. Soon af-
ter, the visitors donned their ANTIQUE
outer garments and departed satisfied.

Then DR.. Greene, in behalf OF the medi-
| cal brethren, presented an elegant gold
headed cane to DR.. Huntington and gold
eagle to Mrs. Huntington. The staff, he
said, was emblematic OF the Doctors life,
upon whom SO many have leaned in times
Of weakness. The hope was expressed
that the doctor might never use it of me-
cessity, but always as luxury. The Doc
tor feelingly responded, expressing his
| qualification at the presence OF his bret b.
rem, and for this token saying that he had
never used a cane except when recovering
! from severe Illness, and that twenty-five
years ago. He hoped to continue in his
beloved profession so long as physicarand
mental powers remain unimpaired
Drs. Haviland and Smith and others
spoke, expressing both the warmest per-
sonal friendship and the highest profess
sional esteem.
DR.. Huntington graduated at the COL
lege OF Physicians and Surgeons Of New
YORK, Mar. A, 1S45. He enjoys telling the
story OF his journey home, quite part OF
which was made on foot. He began prac-
tice with his father, for nearly fifty years
in the early half OF the century physician
in this place. It Is interesting to note, al
so, that his son, DR.. W. d. Huntington, is
likewise physician with his father, "the

Another alludes to the great changes that

bas been made in the practice OF medicine |
and surgery since his entrance upon its |
practice. DR.. Huntington, through his /
faithfulness, integrity, manliness and
and devotion to every WORTHY |

place in the hearts OF the people such as
few in any station or community are able
to attain. This town is noteworthy for

Perhaps you would not think so, but a
very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from carelessness about catch
ing cold" says Or. Cyrus Edison. at is
such simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless ii is a case OF pneu-
monia, pay any attention to cold. There
are great many cases of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin in this
neglect Of the simp lest precaution Of every
day life. The most sensible advice is,when
you have one, get rid Of it as soon as pos
sible. By all means do not neglect it.'
DR.. Edison does not tell you how to cure
cold but we will. Take Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t will relieve the lungs,
aid expectoration, open the secretions and
soon effect permanent cure. % and So

Know the story of her recovery; for the
benefit of those who do not we publish it to-

Eight years ago she was taken with nerv-
Gus prostration, and in few months with
muscular and infammatory rheumatism.
1t affected her heart, then her head. Her feet
became SO swollen she could wear nothing
on them; her hands were drawn all out of
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut more
than half the time, her knee Joints terribly
swollen and for eighteen months she had
to be held up to be dressed. One limb be-
came entirely helpless, and the skin was SO
dryand cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated by
score of physicians, and has also spent
much Time at Ann Arbor under best medi-
cal advice. All said her trouble was
brought on by hard work and that medicine
would not cure, and that rest was the only
thing which would case her. After going
TO live with her daughter she became entire
ly helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night The inter
