 Charles Smith has opened a meat market al Staffordville.
 Albert Washburn has sold his refresh ment saloon at Staffordville, to E. Col burn.
 The meeting held Friday last, to see if the town would accept the petitioners proposition for building the proposed road east, and save the expense of trial before the commissioners, proved fail ure, notwithstanding the call for the meeting was approved by nearly all the business men, and principal taxpayers up the valley to Staffordville. Lt.Gov. Hyde was moderator. G. M. Ives explained the object of the emeeting-that it was not got up by the petitioners but by some of our heavest taxpayers, and who thought the best way was to accept the offer pro- posed, and build the road. The petition CTS made two propositions: First stating what each would do, over whose land the road was to pass, comprising about 12O rods of the first part of the road, equiva- lent at $4 rod to giving $485, besides the land and fencing. Second-the peti- tioners will pay all the road will cost over $1200. The first proposition is by many considered equal to building the road for one thousand dollars or less. But the special efforts put forth by the opponents of the road were too much, and 1t was soon evident from the feeling manifested that no proposition wouldsbe accepted. In fact men were heard to say that if the road was built and fepced free of cost tc the town, they would vote not to accept it.
 The commissioners appointed at the last term of court for adiudging the con tested new road are now in session at the Springs House. The case is managed for the town by Messrs Lippitt of Nor wich and Bill of Rockville and for the petitioners by Messrs West and Fairfield of Stafford. It is likely to be severa days before the evidence is all in, anC probably the whole of next week will bt occupied by the hearing. The com missioners have viewed the route of the new road, and have been over the othe roads leading in the same direction, and they have seen for themselves convincing proof of the justice of the petition.

Old, Young People.

People age quickly in this American life, and instances of preservation of youthful strength and vigor in mature years are pointed to as remarkable. We are educated to believe in early decay of physical beauty and strength, especially in our women, and permit the decline to continue with passing sigh. Most wom- en have a worn look in the early twenties, the figure loses its roundness, the face the glow of youth, and from that time on they age rapidly. All this is wlong and unnecessary. Let everybody to whom this word may come, men and women alike, consult Dr. Greene, and learn from his great experience the cause of your trouble, and secure his invaluable advice. Dr. Greene, discoyeIer of the famous Nervura, and many other wonderful rem- edies, invites consultation at his office, 35 West 14th Street, New York City, either by personal call or by letter through the mail, and in either case he will give you advice absolutely free of all charge. This offer is for everybody, old and young, rich and poor, and thousands of happy people testify, to-day to the practical .na- ture of the experienced advice of this great specialist and the marvellous cura- tive power of his remedies. Don't be satisfied to grow old prematurely when the advice of this famous physician is at your disposal for the asking, wholly free of charge.

A Woman Matadore at Cordova.

Now comes the denouement, for upon a final flourish of trumpets the matadore
 who in this particular performance was a woman, steps forth with brighter red flag or cloak on a staff in her left hand and a good Toledan blade in her right, hidden beneath the eright edge of the red flag. The bull makes dash fo1 the woman Our ladies turn their heads and ask me what see, and I report a calm. deliberate and skillful step to the left by the female .matadore, a quick flash of the sword, bend of the body to the right and oyer the bulls neck a squirting of blood, not very copious. and the sword has pierced the anin-ul'ssre ek close to- the shoulder.

The fourth assistant postmaster general in his annual report" recommends the making of special stamped envelope of strong material to hold the registered matter sent through the mails, as great CT protection against less. This will make meddling with letters more difficult and to; a degree restrain clerks who may be tempted to tamper with them. The idea is of sufficient merit to commend it. self. .., ... ..-. :.
 He also urges @ severer penalty to be provided for employees found guilty of en- bezzling or destroying newspaper mail. There is scarcely publisher in tho coun- try who has not suffered more or less from the carelessness, criminal or other wise, of postof1ce agents in the handling of newspapers going through the mall. There Is not publisher, therefore, who will not subscribe to this recommendation. As an aid to bringing dishonest postal clerks to trial and conviction he asks con- gress to make the offenses of clerks con- tinuous,. so that it, will not be necessary to allege in what state or county q crime was committed, which it Is always diff. cult to fix and prove, but simply to allege on what run the offense was perpetrated.

High Heels.

Women are more often too short
than too tall, and consequently try to
gain height by putting on high-heeled
shoes. and these do, undoubtedly, give
dignity as long as the wearer STANDS
still, but in motion they are graceiess,
even In a room, and deform the rect.
Thus women are made to minister to
a very short-lived fancy, and, from
physiological standpoint, we cannot
recommend them. American women. as
a rule, have too small feet, which do
not add to their beauty. The better
shape q foot is the smaller 1t will look,
but in the disproportionately small foot
there is always involved an awkward
gait. The foot of large woman
should be larger than the foot of a
small woman or slenderly-built woni-
an and usually-to her unnecessary
sorrow-she has large one. The foot
in length should be the length OF the
nina a bone In the forearm. which ex'
| tends from q lump in the outer por
! tion of the wrist to the elbow. O1
| course the ulna is longer In tall people
| and to be graceful the foot should Ds
! also. Most people would be surprised
| that the foot should be as long as th'
forearm. and would be inclined to dis
/ mute the fact unless proven by expert
ence. Large women pinch their Zee
z n fight shoes because they are asham
"a to have them In proportion to thei
bodies: thus In time they deform ther
until they are ont Of all proportion {
