Searchers after deer continue to be
plenty. AT the time of writing it is re-
ported that one shot was secured at long
range, the deer going off in disgust.
a couple of bold hunters from Middle
bury came here few days ago to huut
deer, and as it came out it looked as
though the deer hunted them; for when
they got tired of the chase and came
back they found deer tracks in the marks
they mad made.
few nights ago Mrs. Harriet Ripley
left her home, where she lives with j. +.
GoodrO, after $50, and went on foot to
her brothers, a. n. Fisher, in Middle
bury, distance by the neares. road of
seven miles, ARRIVING at midnight. She
had given no intimatiOn of her intention
to go, and when in the morning Mrs. G..
discovered that her room had been unoc-
cupied it created some little consterna-
ton. A search resulted in finding her,
but what puzzles all is her going afoot
and alone, when she could have had a
team by asking for it.

out life, ambition, energy or Appetite
1t is often the forerunner of serious ill-

troubles. 1t is a positive proof of thin

necessity of taking Hoods Sarsaparilla

to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Remember
