A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS.

It will be remembered that year ago E. W. Seeley, one of Roxbury's leading young men, nearly met his death by hay ing fin arm caught in an engine he was tending The arm was badly mutiIated, but was saved by the skill of the attend ing physicians. This year he has had another close call. Not long since while attending this same machine, his foot in some way was caught in the belt, and be- fore he was aware of it, one leg was drawn around a pulley. His father saw his predicament, and whipping out a knife, he cut the belt. This saved his life. His toes had come in contact with the boiler and were badly burned. No bones were found to be broken, but he was very badly bruised. His friends have advised him to consigu the engine to a scrap heap. A few days later hi- father, E. G. Seeley, while feeding corn to a cutter came near losing a hand. A man above him threw down a bundle of corn, which pressed his hand on to the revolving knives. It struck the end of his thumb and before the good deacon was aware of it the end of that member had gone to make ensilage. We congrat- ulate them both on their escape from more serious injuries.

Among the out-of-town guests were Mir and Mrs David Wooster, MT and Mrs L. D. San ford, Mrs l.. 5. Weeks and sons from Bridgeport; Mrs Eleanor Mallory from Woodbury; Rev and Mrs Austin Isham from Roxbury.

A most interesting paper of remi ntsceuces prepared by Mir Sanford was read by Miss Anna Stewart of Sherman, followed by addresses from Rev Austin Isham, Rev W. ". Wallace, Messrs Starr Caufeld, l.. D. Sanford, Daniel Garfield and A. II Gillett. "Auld Lang Syne,' led by the Bridgawater quartet and the solo, five wandered to the village, Tom, sweetly sung by Mrs C. A. J.

To submit to an operation, is to vo1un- tariIy eudanger ones life, without the slightest hope of being benefited.
 MT. William WalpOle, is a wealthy planter residing at Walshtown, South Dakota, and is well known all over the state. Under date of January 2Oth, 1896, he writes; "Aboutthree years ago, there came under my left eye little blotCh about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly, and for the. past year, shooting pains ran in every direction. became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it cancer, and said that it must be cut out. This I would not consent to, having little faith in the in- discriminate use of the knife, though I was alarmed at my condition. Reading of the many cures made by S.S.S., determined to give that medicine trial, and after had taken it few days, the cancer became irritated and began to dis charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped of, and only a healthy looking little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway Words are inadequate to express my gratitudeto the great blood purifier, s. s. S., and write this hoping that itmay bethe means of leading other sufferers to cure"
 Cancer is not iucurab1e, but the only means of curing it is to rid the blood of the disease. S.S.S. never fails to do this, but it is the only remedy to be re- lied upon. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any other disease of the blood. Other blood diseases often develop into such a1arrnr ing conditions that the doctors think an operation necessary. Scrofula, for in- stance, often diseases thegIands of the neck to such an extent that an operation is looked upon as absolutely the only relief. This is also a grave error, as the disease is in the blood and real blood remedy is the only cure.

The Zu lus in their native state used spears, bu they are not allowed to do that now The boys become quite skilIful in throw ing the stick, which is two or three fee long. In her section snakes are found and these snakes climb fruit treet, ba nanas or oranges, to find birds nests, anG the native girls and boys know when { snake is up tree after bil s:eggs, by thu noise of the parent birds and then th' boys expect some fun.
