The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cue is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

nearly having all the buildings wiped
out by fire. On Friday forenoon the
barn was struck by lightning and in a
remarkably short time this structure
was reduced to ashes. The flames spread
to the shed connected with the house
and it was only by determined fighting
on the part of band of men that the
dwelling was saved. The farming tools,
sleigh, robes, two horses, ten calves, two
hogs and all the hay and grain were
destroyed. Mr.. Boardway had his face
and hands severely burned in trying to
save the stock. Only the barn was
insured, and the loss sustained by Mr..
Way is considerable.

Big Fire Tuesday forming.

Fields Opera House block and c. J.
Hibbard's boot and shoe mandatory
adjoining were destroyed by fire early
Tuesday morning. The fire started in
the retail room of Mr.. Hibbard's estab-
lishment about O'Clock and in one hour
and thirty minutes from the time the fire
was first discovered the two buildings
were consumed. c. N Brady's fine resi-
dence, the Court house, Methodist church
and several other buildings caught fire,
and it was only by prompt action on
part of the fire department that they
were saved. Hubbard estimates his loss
above insurance at $4,000. Postmaster
Brady's loss above insurance is $4,000.
He had just fitted up one of the best
appointed post Offices in the state in the
Field building, at an expense of about
$1,000, on which the loss is total. He
saved all the mail, and the loss to the
government will be slight. The post
office is in the Arlington hotel at present.
The Newport Congregational church
are rejoiced that they have so soon set
tied the matter of pastor as successor to
Rev. E. A. George. Rev. c. E. Fay, late
pastor at Unadilla, N. Y, supplied the
pulpit April II, preaching morning and
evening. All who heard him were so
much pleased that church meeting was
called for Saturday evening last. At that
meeting, which was well attended, it was
unanimously voted to extend a call to
Mr.. Fay at $500 year, with vacation
of four Sabbaths. The result of the meet
ing was communicated to Mr.. Fay, and
he accepted the call and will commence
his labors one week from next Sunday.
He was recommended to us without his
knowledge by Rev. G. H. Bailey, former
pastor of this church. This fact and the
universal satisfaction given by the SER
vices of his first Sabbath, convinced all
that no mistake would be made in calling
him at once. Mr.. Fay has been connected
with the Presbyterians for eleven years,
having had two pastorates in New York
state, one of them three and one of eight
years. He desired to change his connec-
ton to the Congregatonalists, and pre-
ferred to come into New England. The
church are greatly pleased with their
choice and with the strong promise OF
pleasant and successful pastorate. He
also preached last Sabbath and has re-
turned to Albany, N. Y, for his family,
wife and one child, a daughter OF about
three years.
