THE ARMIES OF THE CORN.

Rank upon rank they stood, and row on
row,
plumed, tasseled, uniformed In green,
With rations In their knapsacked husks
between
The myriad blades they brandshed at the
foe.
Long held the brave brigades and would
not yield
Till shattered by the destiny OF war.
Then gallant tribute from the con-
querorD
They stacked their arms and tented on the
field.

"wHERE DOCTORS DISAGREE" !"

There has been great deal of disagree
 ment from time to time about the therapeutic value of sarsaparilla. In the main, authori- ties deny any particular medical value to the plant "Its just an old wives remedy" they say. Andin the main they are right. There are about a dozen varieties of sarsaparill. |, sea tered through various countries, and of this dozen only one has any real curative power. So man whose experience might be confined to tho II other varieties might honestly say there was little value in them. The ono valuable sarsaparilla is found in Honduras, c. 4. Monardes. a physician of Seville. records the introduction of sarsapa- silla into Spain as result of the Spanish dis coverfes of the New World, between 1855 and I545. But the root did not accomplish much
 But he adds, "a better sort soon came from Honduras" It is this ''better sortp that is ussd exclusively in Ayers Sarsaparilla. And it is the use of this "better sort" that has giv- en Ayers Sarsaparilla prominence over all other varieties by reason of its wonderful cures of blood diseases.

TOR.
 The largest conhagration since the burning of the factory of the New Mil ford Button Co.,, July 15, 1889, took place here Friday about p. m., by the burn ing of Noble Bennett's grain and feed elevators. The building and it's contents, grain, feed, hay and coal, were totally flames was excessively hot, making it very difficult for the firemen to even pro- tect the buildings close by the one in flames. It was thought certainly that the large double house occupied by Mich ael McNamara and William G. Lathrop with their families must burn with the elevator, but by the hard work of the firemen it was finally saved. The house. hold furniture of both the above named parties was taken out of their respective residences and piled in heaps and scatter ed promiscuously in the orchard on the hill near Andrew M. Booths store. The sight to witness the throwing out house. hold effects from the upper stories of the dwelling was pitiable to behold and the ! injury caused by the hasty work to the articles was lamentable. But every one did the best they could under the circum- stances. Had it been left in the building it would have been ruined by water and steam. The many friends of both the McNamara and Lathrop families deeply sympathize with them in their unfortu nate situation. The house will have to be thoroughly repaired before they can get things back into it and assume it's former homelike condition. The eleva- tor building was owned by Mir McNa- mara and was insured for $7OO0. The gram and contents of the building were the property of Noble Bennett and his in surance is reported at $400O. The lat ter's JOSS must be quite in excess of his insurance and it is also probable that McNamara's loss will be quite a consid erable above his insurance. The burning building created intense excitement and drew a large crowd of people to the scene to witness the destruction by the elements. The tiremen worked heroical- l ly and are deserving much credit for their gallantry. Fortunately no one was in- jured but the firemen were sorry look. ing lot of men after their labors were over. The day was quiet one, there be- ing no wind to fan the flames, which was fortunate for the owners of nearby prop erty. The double house is the property of Noble Bennett and we presume the damage to it by the fire is covered by in- surance. After.the fire had spent it's fury the tall brick chimney was left standing and fearing that wind might rise and blow it down it was deemed advisable to take 1t down and this was done by plac. ing a chain around it's base and attaching a railroad locomotive to it which cut the chimney and let 1t down as nice as could be wished. This fire was the second alarm during the week. The first alarm was at the New Milford Hat Co.'s works caused by gasoline tank catching fire calling out the fremen. Fortunately nc great damage was done.

DANGERS OF THE GRIP.

The greatest danger from LaGrippe IS of it's resulting in pneumonia. If rea- sonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's cough remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for lagrlppe, we have yet to learn of single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that this remedy is certain preventive of that dread disease. It will effect & permanent cure in less time than any other treatment. The D and 50 cent sizes for sale by E. F. Hawley, New town, s. c. Bull, Sandy Hook, W. N. Hurd, Stepney Depot.

WARREN.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF WARREN.
 At the regular meeting sof the Grange on Tuesday evening, the subject was History of the town, with incidents and anecdotes of the life of the pioneer settlers" War. en was set off from Kent by an act of General Assembly of the State at Hartford, the 2nd Thursday of May, l7S6, Tn consideration of memorial of the inhabitants of the town of Kent by their agents Josiah Pratt and Eleazer Curtiss. Only one representative was allowed the town. The first town meet ing was held June 27, 17S6. Jedediah Hubbard was moderator, Eleazer Curtiss was chosen town clerk and Capt Joseph Carter first selectnan. Fence viewers, leather sea.ers, sealers of weights and measures, key keeper, listers, grand jurors and tithing men were appointed. Ephraim Tanners east barn was to be the pound. During the revolution it was part of Kent, called East Green. wich, and during the war we find that Eleazer Curtiss was major, Joseph Car ter and Peleg Sturtevant captains, .Dea- con Eben Tanner, Samuel Carter and Nathan Swift lieutenants. Also in the army were Augustin and Lysander Cur tiss, Dea Fowler, Philip and Eben Strong George Patterson and John Halloway. Major Curtiss was at the battle of Dan- bury and caught Gen Wooster as he fell from his horse in that battle. Among the records of the town is Book of Earmarks" whereby the cattle that run at large, were known to the different owners. For instance there was dia- gram of the two ears indicated as follows. John Taylor owner, square crop of the left ear, swallow fork in the right. In some hole was punched in the upper. part of the left ear and the lower part of the right ear. The town in it's early history produced almost everything the people used. In what is now called Hard. scrabble were various esta blishments, Mills for card ng wool, making cloth, l satinet, making nails, rims of wheels out of pig iron. Leather was tanned in the town, boots and shoes made and also as the making of cider, brandy, and a cup. board in all the homes where liquors were kept. Warren was not an anomaly in this matter. The big wheel and the little Awheel was Hound everywhere The tea drank was not imported, but pre-. pared by the sagacity of the mothers Of the imported tea there was g part of tea pot full, when 320 chests were broken, open and emptied into Boston harbor. Those were the days oi ''Auld Lang Syne" and should never be forgotten by posteriry.
