ENOUGH EXCITEMENT FOR ONE WEEK.
 This village enjoyed last weeF, tV 0 public events, pleasing to the sense s and which for a short time shook us out of the torp0r and monOf Ony so usually prevalent here at this season of the year. First, the republican rally at Pavilion hall on Thursday evening, arranged and successfullyc completed through the ef- fort of our postmas CT, Frank J. Hos = ford. Rev H. Upson was chairman If the meesiDg and entertained the audi ence in his opening remarks with brief recital of his personal political viewF, closing the same by introduci 2 as fir [ speaker Hon o. H. Platt, tne United native of this town. Mr Platt epoke earnestly for 45 minutes and reviewed $ few of the political issues as maintained by the republican party during the pres lSent campaign. After he had finished amid great applause Hon E. J. Hill of Norwalk, our present congressman, was irt oduced and deeply interested his au- dienced for nearly one hour and half, His fund of information and general knowledge, as well as personal know ledge of the political aspect seemed by
 no means exhausted when he finisheo
 but time or ly seemed to compel him tC 
 plauded ss Senator Platt, probably be. cause his audience were so interested i
 his arguments they all forgot to cheer. 1 He surely held the cl SC attention of ai from start to finish and we hope every. l body felt favored greatly, in being able

Saving wood, working in his garden, walking three times day to and from his place of business-these form part of the daily routine of Edwin R. Tripp, Post master of Middlefield Centre, N. Y. He is past his seventieth birthday.
 Nearly fifty years blacksmith; thirty two years Justice of the Peace; three years town clerk, then postmaster forty-six years a resident of the town he now lives in these are the bare outlines of usefm life.
 Mr. Tripp's career is a type. His story will be read with heartfelt sympathy by thousands. His hearty endorsement of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People will be echoed by tens of thousands.
 He said:
 ~In March, 1892, I was attacked by what afterwards learned was 1ocomotor ataxia.
 1.-Two ski11fu1 doctors did everything they cou1d for me. I steadily became worse. Was unable to dress myself.
