1t is our sad duty to announce the
death of w. II. Bishop of this place, who
died Wednesday June IS, and by whose
death Norton has lost a good patriotic
citizen. He was born in Syracuse, n. Y.
He served through the civil war, was in
the famous Sherman march, and was
wounded at the siege of Vicksburg.
After his discharge he married Margaret
Henderson of Quebec, who survives him.
He moved to Norton in 1880, being in
the employ of A. NJ. Stetson; from that
time until his death nothing but good
! can be said of him. Those who knew
him can say he was an example, an
earnest Christian, loving father and a
good husband. He leaves behind to
mourn his loss two daughters and four
sons. Funeral was held Friday June 30
at 5. Paul's Church, Stanhope, Rev. Mr..
Murray preaching the sermon, which
was most impressive. Friends and fell
low workers filled the Church, and after
the services members of the G. A. r.
bore their comrade to the grave. The
choir began the service by singing the
beautiful hymn, Zone sweetly solemn
thought" sweetly rendered.
"Now the laborers task is DER;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.

Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.

The Diet Fad.

Sensible people have learned that the
best diet is a variety of wholesome food.
If the digestive apparatus is out of order
no amount of starvation diet will
regulate it, but will tend to aggravate
rather than remedy the ailment. Ii you
are bilious, dyspeptic, liver torpid, bow
els constipated, yellow with jaundice, or
have sick head ache, cure yourself with
Baxter's Mandrake Bitters, and then eat
reasonably of wholesome food and enjoy
it. After you are cured an occasional
dose of Bakers Mandrake BitterS will
keep you well. Price % cents per bot
tie, also in tablets same price. All drug
gists guarantee it to cure or money back.

Frogs Hibernate In Holes.

According to Simon Henry Sage, the frog does not hibernate in leaves or the trunks of trees, but in dry hole in the ground not likely to freeze. He scratches the hole with his hind feet and enters backward. Once inside, there is apparently no trace of the fact outside Frogs found under frozen leaves are still able to move about. MT. Sage has found hibernating frogs with their extremities and skin frozen, but their vital organs were still intact, and they recovered their activity on being liberated.
