AN EARNEST ADVOCATE OF TEMPERANCE
 "WOodbury's apostle of temperance'' is title which might be appropriately given to the genial blacksmith, M. F. Skelley, who for 42 years has pounded the anvil in this town. His voice is fre- quently heard in the temperance meet ings in this town, and he is not afraid to state plainly where he stands. Mir Skel- ly is a member of the Catholic Total Ab- stnence Union of Connecticut and was for thr6e years treasurer of that organi- zatiOn. He is also member Of the Ma tiOnal Catholic Total Abstinence Union of Amerlca, and was a delegate to the national convention in New Haven in August, 1885. He hates intemperance in all it's forms, and is anxious to see the power of the saloon on the wane. What is needed is more men of MT SkeIly's stamp ill all the towns, then there would be not the spirit of deadness on temper ance. 1t is strange so many people are afraid oI this question, when the liquor traffic is running hundreds of men every year, Three cheers for MT Skelley, and may he live long to wave the temperance tanner!

 Every river has it's eddies, so every day has it's neap tide and flood tide. Health gives place to sickness. The grip and measles areswith us. Fanny Humphrey, on her second year as teacher in South east Cornwall, was suddenly taken with the grip, attended with paroxysms of coughing quite remarkable, has been un- der her mothers careful nursing, and was able to ride home on Wednesday of last week. There is some prospect of her being able to resume her school again in week or two, Ella Eaton is down with the measles in the Northeast dis trict. Some of the families have taken their children out of school to the great discouragement of the teacher, Miss Patterson, who has succeeded in gather ing very large school for the district. The measles are never welcome guest. however favorable the season may be. Many people are reluctant to run into them, for sometimes 1t requires years to outgrow the effect of them, even with. the best of care. The same disease is. also in the College Farms district.
