Sunday it was seen there and Sunday afternoon Jerry Finn went to see about 1t and found the ground all dug up around it, which showed that 1t had been there for some time. It was taken to John Bentley's where it was properly cared for. The horse was tied so short that it could not lie down, and was so weak that 1t could hardly walk.

There was a we'll filled house at the Methodist church last Sunday evening as the Memorial services were held there. The Gen J. G. Barnard Post and Womsns Relief Corps were in at- tendance. The pulpit and altar rail and it's surroundings were banked with flowers and many flags helped to deco. rate for the occasion, so 1t seemed more like festive day than memorial. Rev l.. 0. H. Adams gave the address and an excellent one it was, too. Rev G. W. Grover offered prayer and Rev J. S Ellis read scripture. Good music was furnished by the choir, the congrega. tion joining
 Memorial Day was commemorated in usual manner on Monday. Dinner at Hotel was served to the G. A. R mem- bers after which the school children led by Superintendent Brockway, the drum corps from Pittsfeld and many others marched to the cemetery return ing to the Town Hall, which was we'll filled. Commander NJ J Smith was in charge. Prayer was offered by the Rev l. 0. Adams, singing by the pupils of the High School, and Miss Devine's school at Ashley Falls. They also gave from the platform a very pleasing exer- else suited to the occasion. Then Dr F. l.. Smith, member of the school Board, introduced Rev M Holden of Ct., who gave very pleasing and in- teresting address and held the close at- tention of the audience all through. Everybody was charmed by his manner and felt the time was altogether too short that was given for the address. He began with the landing of the Pill grims on our shores and took up the epochs in history as they come from that time until now, as we are again sending our soldiers to battle with a foreign nation for the liberation of op- pressed humanity.

The l.. A. w. Road Book.

With the advent of the country rid ing season which is now beginning, prospective tourists will do we'll to take under consideration the many advan- tages to be derived from membership in the League of American Wheelmen. One of the principal things essential to the cycling tourist is thorough know. ledge of the routes and roads to be trav- eled and in no way can this knowledge be better or more readily acquired than through the medium of good road books. In Connecticut the State officers of the l.. A. ". have prepared what has been pronounced by competent critics to be the best road book ever put out for cyclists use, and it is given free to all new members joining from this State. It is alone worth the cost of ini- tiation and membership fees as it is an invaluable aid to the tourist and veri- table "path finder" in all that the name implies. It is perquisite of member ship and delineatss with accuracy every route of travel in the State, also show ing the routes to be preferred and care fully noting the conditions of the roads. In the back of the book is published 8 well prepared list of hotels which give special rates to l.. A. ". members, and list of local officials, whose duty it is to furnish all additional information at their command concerning local condi- tions. The fact that the division has spared no expense to make the book as exhaustive and complete as possible is self evident guarantee of its worth.

LA A EyHLLk.

Memorial Day was duly observed by all our people and the public buildings aud many private houses were elegantly decorated with flags and bunting. The parade started in front of the Holley block for Salisbury about l o'clock in the following order: Marshals H. ]. Bissell and W. W. Norton on horseback, Knights of Pythias band.

Twichell, orator of the day; Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias; Forestsrs Lodge, omnibus carrying children with boquets, and large number of citizens in carriages. The Knights of Pythias band played excellent music, and the several companies with their beautiful flags and their handsome uniforms pre-. sented fine appearance which pleased the many people that followed them to Salisbury. Everybody seemed 10 be out doors to view the fine procession. The address by the Rev J. II. Twichell is highly spoken of by all who heard it. The universal opinion is that Decoration Day was never better observed here and the graves of the departed heroes were never decorated with hsndsomer flowers or by prettier girls all dressed in white, than this year.
 Memorial services were held last Sun day morning at the NJ. F. church. The altar and pulpit were resplendaut with Old Glory flags. The G A k Post, $. of Y. Camp and w K. Corps were present in body.

According to report just issued by the British government the United States has about one-seventh of the for eign trade of China. We are, next to Great Britain, the largest importers, Im- porting fifty per cent. more than Ger many, who stands third on the list. Our trade is principally in cotton goods and kerosene oil. Russia is the only serious rival of the United States in the importation of kerosene. Our com merce with Japan has grown more rap idly during the past year than any other country. Only three countries: Great Britain, China and British India, made as large sales to Japan as did the United States, and in no case was the increase in importations as large as that from the United States.

It is interesting in looking over the newspaper comments regarding Glad stone and his life to note that they all agree in saying that he was first and al- ways for the betterment of mankind at large. Mir Gladstone's desire that Eng land should be right made him enemies of those Englishmen who desired only that she be successful. This fact gave him moral power over an immense constituency who believed that it could not go wrong in following him. The New York Tribune says that the world has lost it's greatest citizen and he was the greatest Englishman since Cha tham and Pitt.

Deafness Can't De Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutiona remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inhamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless : he inflammation 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 inilamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
