The following, talks Of Rev Mr.. Morse Of
Brookield and Rev. Mr.. Bates and DR.. Nut
ting of Randolph Center, made the after
noon meeting one OF the best.
Our citizens, some of them, were rather
startled on Thursday morning last on read
ing report Of meeting in the city Of
Barre relative to new water works there.
1t was stated at that meeting that by virtue
OF an act of the last Legislature the city could
help itself to the waters of Willamstown
for its needs, il it is should wish to. "What
could such statement mean?" was the
query that went around here. Did we not
send some of our wisest heads to confer
with legislative committee, in Montpelier
last fall, to prevent any such wholesale ap-
preparation of our fluid? And we were rest
ing securely in the happy thought that they
had succeeded. But look at certain leg
islative acts of the last session, amending
the city charter of Barre tends to some what
discomfort US, since 1T seems to imply that
that virgin city can, rather loosely speaking
lay its hands on almost anything we have, Of
an aqueous nature, not heretofore appropri-
ated by any municipal corporation" And
as we thus look, we can smile, and, may be,
even commend "the worldly wisdom" Of
the honorable speaker at that meeting, who
urged haste in action, lest coming legisla-
ture should cut off some of their present
privileges. While our citizens will endeav-
or not to cry till they are hurt, they will re-
joice at the free advertising of any of the
many good things, las pure water, pure air,
etc. Williamstown possesses, and which it
desires to share, more particularly right
here on the ground with the whole world.

N. Y.-Gents From my personal knowl-
edge, gained in observing the effect of your
Shiloh's Cure in cases of advanced Con-
sumption, 1 am prepared to say it is the
most remarkable remedy that has ever been
brought to my attention. 1t has certainly
saved many from consumption. Sold by W.
