months | weighed 1914 pounds, an un-
usual weight for me. have had better
health ever since and have felt better
this summer than have for years.
MY little daughter was away from
home on visit, and came home looking
as if she had had hard sickness. Invent
right away and got her a bottle of
Paines celery compound, and she has
had better health since than she ever had
III her life, eats hearty and is growing
fast"

can in justice to herself and her family
fail to take Paine's celery compound when
its power of restoring health is so
abundantly proved.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
famation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case OF deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Hon. o. M. Barber Married,

The wedding of Miss Alice Mabel

publican candidate for state auditor oc.
Cured at Bennington, June 80, at the
home Of the bride. The attendance was
limited to the immediate family and a few
intimate friends on account OF the recent
death, of the father OF the groom. The
groomis one Of the most prominent men in
Vermont, having filled many town county
and state offices. The bride is a descend.
ant OF a family that settled here over a
hundred years ago and which has con-
tlnuously been represented in business
here since. Following the ceremony was
supper and reception. Mr.. and Mrs.
Barber, upon their return from their wed.

Hugh Henry assumed charge of the

During his term as pension agent Col.
Thomas Cogswell has disbursed between
$12,OO0,000 and $13 100000.
OF all the salaried or presidential post
offices in Vermont, there are only twelve
this year that show an increase over last
year in the salary of the postmaster, and
one of them is Hyde Park. whichis raised
from $1,000 to $1,000. 1t is only eight
years since Hyde Park became a "Presi-
DENTAL" office. Before that time the
postmaster received less than $1,000. The
growth in the Hyde Park office runs
practically parallel with the growth of
ex.Gov. Pages calf skin business; $1,000
salary means business of $1,000 to
5000, and $170O salary means a
business of $4,000 to $4,000, an increase
OF nearly 800 per cent. We think no
other town in the state approaches Hyde
Park in its ratio of growth in this de-
partment.

Mr.. Walter Brock. who came in the
year 1776, built the first sawmill and the
first dwelling house. He was the first
town clerk. Among the first houses
built are those now occupied by Mr..
George HASTE, Mr.. Horace Moore and
Mr.. Conant. The house now belonging

stores in one of which is the post Office,
The grist.mill is an old building, having
