Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, April 16.-The week in dry goods
has been more satisfactory in its tendencies, if
not in it's actual results Sellers have found that
buyers are willing to make concessions in order
to clean up stocks which will be useless in a
few weeks. In fact such class has shown
easier dealing tendency and a generally better
feeling prevails. The actual business passing has
been small and irregular from day to day. Re-
orders have been light and in general confined to
actual needs Cottons have not bettered their
conditions in any grade Prints are irregular and
cloths have sold fairly WELL but not well enough
to equal the output at Fall River. The quotation
is still &c for extras with a limited demand
recorded.

Friday, October 23, 1868.

The lyceum next Monday evening, dis cusses the relative importance to the country of agriculture and manufacturing. the claims of agriculture being sustained by Dr. A. Field and L. E. Dimick, and those of manufacturing being set forth by John Slater and H. 0. Mclaughlin.
 The M. E. society of this village, will at once commence the building of par sonage, on the corner of Prospect and Church street, in the rear of their church edifice.
 Captain Solva Converse is about to build & house on Prospect street, on the next lot west of the contemplated par- sonage, and will remove the small house already standing there on to the lot corn CT of Prospect and west-Main streets.
 G. H. Baker has enlarged his furniture shops by the addition of a second story to the easterly building.
 The first mill in America for making sewing silks and twists by water power, was built by Rodney Hanks, in Mansfield about fifty-eight years since and the first silk made by machinery in the United States was made in 1899 in Mansfield. In 1914 silk rose to $3O pound. The census of 1910 gives as the value of the silk manufacture and raw silk of Massa- chusetts and Connecticut for the year $29, ,121. In Windham county, the value of these products in 1925 was $54 .O90. In 1881 Mansfield produced $S1 ,OOO worth of silk.
 Last Wednesday was an unpleasant, rainy, chilly day. All over the county the qu. stion arose. "Shall we attend the Grant < Colfax Tnlland county mass meeting. Numbers decided to brave the indictment weather, and the meeting was a success despite all draw backs. It rained during the entire forenoon, and the long processions which poured into Holland from the various towns, carried umbrellas as we'll as banners. South Coventry Ellington and Staffordville each taining dazzling array of beauty groups of young ladies representing each a state, the whole arranged about a pyramid, on the apex of which stood the Goddess of Liberty. A large procession went from Stafford headed by the Stafford Springs brass band, accompanied by many teams from Union and Wales. Willington sent sixty teams. Somers came in headed by Hazardville band with a company of boys in blue, many teams, flags and banners. Columbia, Eastford, Ashford, Vernon were well represented by uniformed con- panies. Rockville brought the third regi- ment band of Norwich. The speakers were Senator Wm. A. Buckingham, Gen. Wm. Clark of Texas, c. R Ladd oi Springfield, Julius L. Strong of Hartford and Ex- Governor Hawley.

A wINTRY LANDSCAPE.

Not summers self was ever half SO fair
 As this white winter wrapped in ermtns
 fleece,
 A royal silence breeding everywhere
 And all the world a voiceless dream of peace. Amber and opal, faintest pearl and roses
 Orange and purple in the sunset sky; In fiery hues the wide west flames and glows, Nor fades till stars shining out on high. Ger steel blue lakes the sheen is bright like
 mail, The trees in naked beauty lift their limbs, The wind is hushed that erst did sob and vail Softer its tones than mothers cradle hymns Strange, silent winter, fair beyond belief. White robed and fair and dreamy as the night, Forgetting pain and care and jay and grief, Creeps solemnly apace and shrouds the hght-

of despair. Day by day my trouble grew worse, and dark indeed was the day before my deliverance.
 "A friend of mine told me about Dr. VII EamS' Pink Pills for Pale People and what they had accomplished for others in my condition.
 "It was the first glimpse of the sun of hap pineSs through the dark clouds of misery.
 "I bought box and took them. Even then felt their effect. bought more and continued to take them until was well and strong.
 "They liberated me from the most terrible bonds that ever tortured woman. They brought me new life when death was welcome.
 "I recommend them to my friends, and do not hesitate to say to every suffering woman in the world that Dr. Williams Pink Pills will cure her."
 Dr. WiIliams' Pink Pills for Pale People are a specific for all forms of weakness. The blood | vitalized and becomes preg- nant with the clements of lie. The ner- vous system $ reorganized, all irregularities arc corrected, strength returns and disease disappears. So remarkable have been the cures performed by these little pills that their fame has spread to the far ends ot civilization. Wherever you go you will find the most important article in every drug store to be Dr. Wlhams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Just A woman's story.

yust q woman's story.
 Not strange because it happens every day, not romantic or thrilling, but just story of misery and suffering such as only women know.
 For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, of Peru, Indiana, carried burden of pain. Night and day, without respite, she suf- frrsd the most dreadful experience that ever fell to the lot of woman.
 That she did not die Is almost beyond belief.
 That she is well to-day Is a miracle.
 Mrs Bowen's trouble requires no deserip- ton beyond the symptom, which every woman will instantly recognize.
 In describing them Mrs. Bowen saysi
 "For eighteen years l suffered with weakness peculiar to my sex.
 "I was a broken down piece of human ityI a shadow of a woman.
 "My brain was tortured until could re- member but little. could not sleep or cat and was reduced in weight to a mere skele- ton. What little did eat could not be Gi- gested in my weakened state, and caused me untold misery.
 My skin was muddy, my eyes were heavy. was dizEy all the time and to- tally unfit for even ordinary houSework.
 "Doctors prescribed for me without avail. Medicine was recommended and taken in quantity but 1t did no good.

Gold Mining In San FrmncisOo.

For over IT years a gold mine has been worked right in the city of San Francisco. How much gold has been taken out none but the two. miners themselves can say. One of them is sup posed to be on his deathbed, and the other one disappeared on the day that his partner had to be taken to the hos pital and the secret of their mine be- came generally known to the commu- nifty.
 Nelson Shoots. the discoverer of the lead, found the mine over IF years ago while trying to locate the fountain of the gold dust found along the beach. He was practical miner at the time and we'll versed in all the secrets of get ting all the gold possible out of reffac- tory ores. .-.t
 That he succeeded in doing this in his Ingleside mine there is no question, for not only did he make a good living during the l7 years, but he paid $s, 900 damages once for injuring the Spring valley water main while blasting. He and his partner lost large sums of money at the race tracks, and they were known as "spenders" among the resorts in the western side of the city. All the while they passed as hermits, with barely enough to live on--San Erancia0o GsA
