WEST BRATTLEBORO.


beautiful evening, pleasant surround
ings, and bright prospects, is the happy
combination under which the wedding
ceremony of Edwin Ector Gobe to Eliza
beth Maud Harris took place Wednesday
evening, The home of the brides parents,
at which the event occurred, was beautifully
decorated with everlasting, goldenrod and
evergreen. The spacious grounds were
lighted with dozens of bright lanterns. As
the guests arrived they were met at the
gate by the ushers, Wallace Harris broth
er of the bride, Ed Coleman and James
Little. A place of interest was the sitting
room, in which were placed the wedding
gifts, and there was an abundance of every
thing, from money through the list of sill
verware and glassware, furniture and pic
lures. Among the gifts was a set of chairs
and tables from the grange, of which both
bride and groom are members.
At 1880, as the bridal march was played,
the wedding party descended to the parlor,
preceded by little Lucille Perry as maid of
honor, strewng sweet pea blossoms in
their path. The ceremony, with the ring,
was impressively performed by Rev. f. S.
Smith, under bower of evergreens and
hydrangeas, in the centre of which was the
monogram II. G.. The bride wore a hand
some gown of white India silk. Mr..
Gobie's sister Lena of Lebanon, n. H.,
acted as bridemaid, and wore a white wool
gown with trimmings of silk ribbon. A
brother of the bride, Julius Harris, was
the best man. After the ceremony the
parlor was packed to suffocation with con-
graduating friends. Coffee and cake was
| served and each guest was given portion
of the wedding cake. At 8 Mr.. and Mrs.
Gobie took their departure mid an ava
lanche of congratulations and rice, which
prevented their seeing the rich profusion
of ancient foot wear with which their car.
riage was decorated. The remainder Of
the evening was spent with games and
amusements of various kinds. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gobie will spend a week at his home
in Lebanon, n. H., then returning, viii
live for the present with the bride:
parents. A large circle of friends wish
them much happiness in their new relation
Mrs. Will Harris of Lakeport, n. H., anC
Matte and Nellie Harris of Ashland, Mass
were among the 200 or more guests present

A New pleasure PRrk.

d. p Prescott has leased of Chas. Clark
tract of land, for ten years it is under
stood, on the south side of the brook oppo-
site the new iron bridge, for the purpose
of converting it into a picnic grove and
amusement park. Workmen are already
engaged in clearing away the brush and
trimming up the trees. Although the
plans are not fully perfected as yet, it is
proposed to put up a pavilion about 40X100
in size, and with it have kitchen and
dining room. On the hill back of the pine
grove is large field which can be used as
a ball ground and near by ample room for
croquet grounds and tennis courts. We
understand that Mr.. Prescott has had sew
eral chances to sublet the grounds, but
will not permit anything to be done unless
in substantial manner. Such resort,
no doubt, would be an advantage to both
the town and railroad company, if properly
conducted, and would afford a place of
amusement where money could be kept in
town. A bridge is to be constructed across
the brook at a convenient place, and the
grounds will be but short walk from the
track

Small Beginnings

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments tina
are apt to consider trivial often grow through
neglect, into atroclous maadies, dangerous in
themselves and productive of others. 1t is the
disregard of the earlier indications of i'll health
which leads to the establishment of all sorts of
maladies on chronic basis. Moreover, there
always desirable to fortify the system after ex-
posture to the conditions which produce them.
Cold, damp and miasma are surely couuteracted
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. After you have
incurred risk from these influences, a wineglass-
full or two of Hostetter's Stomach Btters directly
afterward should be swallowed. For malaria,
dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney and bladder
trouble, nervousness and debility 1t is the most
deservedly popular Of remedies and preventives.
wineglassful before meals promotes appetite. =

The vender of fruit at West Brattleboro,
who surprised that small gang of down
town sneak thieves last Friday evening,
wishes to congratulate them upon their
having one gentleman among them who
wise enough to stop and settle when caught.
1t is always a good plan to invite in fl
nancial man on such occasions, as it might
be rather inconvenient not to have one
along. 1t would have been better for some
of the rest if they had stopped instead of
going through the barbed wire fence so I'M
tremendously. Our advice to the boys is
not to go on making fools of themselves in
this way. We have had quite too much of
this kind of business up here of late. We
like to have the boys come up and have
good time-but goods sold as those
were the other night are likely to come too
high.

Suffered Under Criticism.

Mme. Feuillet gives us a lively idea of her gifted husbands suffering under the hands of the critics:
 While tho public received his works well, the journalists were sometimes cruel and unjust, and on the day after the first representation of a new piece my poor hus- band was often overwhelmed. The favor able articles, and they were many, could not make him forget the unfayorable ones. These last gave him keen suffering, yet he could not refrain from reading them. The smallest provincial journals passed under his eye.
 One article particularly malevolent, by Jules Janin, produced veritablc fit of ill., ness. For some time 1t was feared that he was struck with some disease of tho heart.
 In all his life he had but one real failure, and that came near to killing him. The piece was ono with which he was particu- larly delighted, and its reception fairly lacerated his heart and his nerves. I shall never forget the night that he passed after s its performance, when some misses had made themselves heard.
 He walked his chamber like crazy man, refusing all my cancellations and swearing that ho would abandon his career. My at- tempts to soothe him only irritated him the more and was obliged to withdraw to my own chamber. Even there l could hear him walking and signing, and l suf- fered so much from sympathy that ended by escaping to the staircase and passing the night there.

The Secret of Contentment.

The most contented people are those who abide by the old and tried; the old is so satisfactory that the new cannot offer any inducement for change. Now that is just why Simmons Liver Regula- tor has maintained its popularity these many years, notwithstanding the many limitations and interruptions dealers who have done everything possible to draw the people away from Simmons Liver Regulator. The people of the south have too much good sense to turn away from an old friend, especially when the old friend is so far superior to everything that is new. To take Simmons Liver Regulator means long life and a happy life. But twill be a short life and mis- erable one to any who allow themselves to be persuaded by dishonest dealers to take any of the limitations or counter feits. Stick to the old friend with the Red, z on the package, the real simon pure article.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BLIND.
Ren to wboE, the Loss of Vision Seemed
 to Be Unimportant.

nen to wboEi the Loss of Vision Seemed
 to Be Unimportant.
 A unique career was recently brought to a close in the suburbs of n great American city It was that of Il man totally blind from early childhood. who, by force of an inflexiblc will, had succeeded in becoming scientific anatomist.
 Although deprived of sight, ho trained himself by muscular exercise to be an ath lete. The loss of ono sense only strength ened his determination to preserve all his other faculties in tho freshness of pcrfec tion. His own success in muscular excr- else brought a group of young men around him, and before ho was 21 years old he was training master for athletic sports of ev- cry sort. He opened a gymnasium with apparatus designed to carry into practice theories of his own respecting tho develop ment of tho human body.
 He taught large classes, led i:l exercises of all kinds, and performed the most diff cult foats with unerring accuracy. His fla cility in using the apparatus and moving about the gymnasium was amazing. Visit ors could hardly be convinced that the cx- pert md fearless teacher was absolutely sightlcss ssfe
 His gymnasium was gradually converted Into n school of health. By physical excr- cises conducted under his supervision, he 1, undertook to remedy deformitics of the body and to cure patients afflicted with diseases of lungs, digestion and disordcrcd nerves. He became in fact, if not in title, physician of recognized skill and applied many original theories to the treatment of diseases, devoting the best years of his life to n minute study of the mechanism of the human body, with n view to remedying the physical defects of other men.
 Whether it is the blind boat builder de signing the finest yachts or the blind en- tomologist making scientific discoveries, or the blind statesman discussing in par liamcnt the intricaeies of finance and con ducting the most laborious executive de- partment, only the most resolute natures can win such victories as these:
 MT. Fawcett, when he met with an acci- dent in his youth by which he lost his sight, was student with an ardent ambi- ton for public life. A weaker nature would have given up the first fight as hope less, but with unflinching courage he fol- lowed the career he had marked out for himself He continued his study of polit- ical economy by tho aid of other mems eyes; trained his memory until he could carry complex tables of statistics as easily as other mon could read the figures from the printed page and achieved great dstinc- ton as a university professor and polit- ical leader So complete was his conquest of his infirlnity that Mir Gladstone was the only man who could rival him in parlia- ment in the exposition of statistical ques- tions.
 "I we'll reme'1ber, wrote Mir Prescott, the historian, "the blank despair which l felt when my literary treasures arrived and saw the mine of wealth lying around mo which was forbidden to explore" He was virtually blind, but with unconquer able patience hc went on with his work year after year.-Youth's Companion.
