POSITION OF NEW STAR,

If any Montpelerite is curious to see the
new star, whose piercing white light in the
northern heavens seems to be slowly dimin-
ishinR, its location can be indicated by a
single diagram. According to the right as
cension, as furnished by the observatories
the new star is on the meridian between
and o'clock in the afternoon, so that it Is
more than 30 degrees west OF the meridian
by the time night falls, about o'clock.
From that time to midnight it works
in an oblique circular path toward the
northern horizon, and about ten O'Clock
1t forms with the brightest neighboring
stars perfect symmetrical figure, the new
star being almost equidistant from the
three corners OF an equilateral triangle, the
variable blue star, Algol, being directly be.
meath it. The star Algol is at the bottom;
the brightest star In the sword OF Perseus
is at the right hand corner, and the small
star Epsilon is at the left hand corner. In
vertical line above Algol and slightly BE-
low the line adjoining the corners OF the
equilatersl figure Is the new star, not so
bright as when 1t was first seen, but still
much brighter than the other three, and
conspicuous enough to attract notice In the
region where it had never appeared before

The RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
toes or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as o curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit

at his home about nine o'clock Tuesday even
ing. Mr.. Denny was born in 1910. being the
youngest OF nine children in the family OF
David Denny, who was one Of the earliest

In the town history we find the following:

upon farm four years. About this time
he commenced the tannery business at
Berlin Corners, which he afterwards ex-
changed for hotel there, and also bought
his first farm, which occupation he always
followed In connection with his other pur-
suits. About 1841 he entered into the mer-
camille business, which he continued in
Berlin till 1847, when he moved his goods
to Mortified Center, and filling store
there he continued in business five or six
years, when he sold out and turned his at
tention more particularly to farming. In
1856 Mr.. Denny again formed partnership
with j. q. b. Thayer In the tailoring busi-
ness, aud also with George III. Crane, Esq,
In general merchandise, continuing with
him some three years. In the fall of 1860
he formed a partnership with his oldest
son, and remained with him until he re-
moved to Worcester, Mass, who was sue
ceeded by the next son, the business con-
tinuing under the style OF y. Denny Co."

general feeling that Mr.. Morgan would
not enter into a transaction involving
only one line, but no definite informa-
ton has been received in this city, SO
far as could be developed by thor
ough canvass of other lines, which Mr..
| Morgan has in view. 1t seems an ac-
cepted fact, however, that the Allan
tic transport will be included. There
seems also a growing belief that the
International Navigation Company
will be included, though Mr.. James
Wright, vice president of the company,
still denies any knowledge of negotia

line had not been sold, and was not
