ITEMS FROM THE STAFFORD
 NEWS LETTER.
June Is, 1889.

| 1t is our intention to print under this head from week to week, items of interest from the old Stafford News Letter
 ON SUNDAY last, after the mOruing ser vice at the Congregational church, let ter of acceptance, received from Rev. A. w. Ide, West Medway, Mass. was read to the church and people, iu reply to an unanimous invitation extended to him to become their pastor,
 THE WEST DISTRICT SoHOoL.-The dir faculties existing in this school district have grown out of some misapprehenson between the prudential and superintcnd- ing school committees, we should think, rather than the want of ability and quail form their work. It is alleged with how much truth we know not, that the former | has trenched upon the duties of the latter in prescribing the kinds of books to he used and the courses of study, and by too | frequent visits at the school rOom-t that he has gone beyond his administrative and legitimate duties, and not confined himself to prudential matters, which was of the board a strong resolution was pass ed recommending the said prudential com mittee to resign, and furthermore, S we are informed, that they would not apprO- bate any teacher which he might hrreaf- ter engage. He has not seen fit to obey their recommendation and they decline to approbate, and thus the schools remain suspended in stGtW QaG0 Of the latter clause of the resolution, if such is the fact, we should very much doubt the pro priety, as it will only have tendency to widen the breach between them, and sac rif1ce the best inte1e ests of the school for the time being.
 NAME TO BE CHANGED.-The act incor- porating the bondholders of the New Lon don, Willimantic and Palmer railroad, changes the name to the New London and Northern railroad. Palmer and Will limantic are nowhere in the new act, but the road will run to Palmer nevertheless
 A WOMAN MIssING.-A young ~xoman IS years of age, the wife of John Warren, who has lived since she was married with J. Hancock, of Willington, Ct, disap- peared on Thursday, two weeks ago, un- der somewhat peculiar circumstances. We are informed that Warren, ever since his marriage, instead of being faithful hus- band, has bestowed his affectious on another. She left the house on Thursday, as above stated, without any prep lration of clothing, went to the field where he was at work, and has not been heard from since. She has friends residing at Belch ertown, but they have had no tidings of her. The neighborhood is being aroused to more diligent search and inquiries, as the whole matter seems shrouded in mystery.

Here is Good News For Men Suffering
 From Nervous Debility, Weakened

Powers and Exhausted VigOr.
 Weak men suffering from nervous de- bility, weakened power and exhausted vigor, can now take new hope. Here is something which will powerfully interest them. It is a fact that until now sufferers haze been debarred from seeking a cure by the great specialists in these con- plaints owing to the cost of travel to the large cities and the high fees charged by these eminent physicians.
 Here, therefore, is a chance for weak men in our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St.. New York City, who has the largest prac- tice in the world, and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing this class of diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all weaken ed, vigorless and nerve-exhausted men. You have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing your complaints, and he will, after carefully considering your condition, send letter fully explaining all your symptoms, tell ing you everything about your complaints so plainly that you will understand exact ly what ails you. He will also give you his advice, based upon his vast experience and wonderful success in treating such cases, as to just what to do to get cured. All this will cost you nothing, and you can thus have consultation with the best known physician and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world, without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The Doctor is the discoverer of that greatest of medicines, Dr. Greene's Nerv- ura blood and nerve remedy, and he has discovered many other most valuable special remedies. Write to him now, for this is the chance of lifetime to get cured which you may never have again.

THE IDEAL PANAoEA.-James L. Fran cis, Alderman, Chicago, says II regard Dr. Kings New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physician's prescriptions or other prepara- tions." Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk Iowa, writes: II have been a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for 50 years or more, and have never found any thing so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr. Kings New Dis covery." Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now. Trial Bottles Free at B. K. Taft's drug store. 6

WHAT WILL DO IT?-Medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is positive proof that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream B~lm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 21.-No definite un-
Outstanding has yet been reached be-
tween Hon. George Washburn of the
peoples party, representing Vice Presi-
Dental Candidate Watson, and Chairman
Jones of the democratic national execu-
tive committee. The conference of last
night was followed this morning by an
other consultation, and Mr. Watson was
advised by wire of the results of Mr..
Washburn's interviews with Senator
Jones. 1t is not probable that any ar

his full support to the democratic ticket
without feeling that he had stultified
himself, can be effected before this even
