MR HOLLlSTER RECALLS AN IN-
 TERESTlNG INCIDENT
WHICH CONCERNS COL HURLBURT OF
 ROXBURY.

Editor THE VIEWPOINT BEE, Dear Sir: l notice in your last weeks issue that neOf your correspondents called at the home of George Hurlburt in ROXbury and that though 93 years of age and oyer he was able to saw wood to keep up the family fires. This fact brings to my mind an incident wherein that gentleman figures that I would like to relate. In the fall of the year 1865 the writer was driving over the hills between Bridgewater and Rox- bury, when near the latter village he saw near the highway a man consider ably past middle life with yoke of oxen hitched to drag of poles that he was soon to move on to the highway. Being a little near-siabted he could not tell who the man was but thought he looked like Col George Hurlburt. So pulling rein, he called out: ''Is this Col Hurlburt?" The man replied cheerily: "Well, these are his re- mains" This quaint reply and his pleasing manner brought a broad smile to the countenance of the ques 6ioner and left an ineffaceable impression on his memory. And now after an inter- val of more than 3S years, in which the parties have not seen or heard of each other, the writer wishes to cOngra tu- late the veteran Colonel upon the ''staying qualities" of those remains" and express the hope that.he may live to round out his full century of life before that partnership shall be dis solved.-[F F. D. Hollister.

MT. Yeisley was much discouraged till a friend recommended Dr. David Ken- nedy' S Favorite Remedy and it cured him.
 MT. Yeis1ey writes:

 The Rev. MT. Yeisley is the pastor of the First Reformed Church of St. Paris, Ohio, and is as we'll the editor of the St. Paris Dispatch.
 There is no question that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine in the world for dis eases of tho kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation, as well as the weaknesses peculiar to women. It quickly relieves and cures inability to hold urine and tho necessity of getting up a number of times during tho night and puts an end to that scalding pain when passing urine.

 The concentration of business and the continued process of combination which threatens to engulf all lines of manufacturing and mercantile en- deavor, is held to close to young men ali the avenues by which they may hope to rise by merit and individual effort. But the fact that almost every great combination of business to-day is headed and managed by young men goes toward disputing, at least, the first assertion. Young men have many chances open to them in these days, and especially now when Meigs x Co. are selling young mems suits and overcoats for such small sums. in the big January sale of broken lines.
 TheHillside club whist party, which was scheduled to to take place last evening, was no doubt the most enthusiastic and largely attended whists of recent date. Considerable time has be spent to the arrangements and the !effortS of the club members were warmly appreciated by the whist playing public. The merchants in Danbury, Bridgeport and Newtown very cheerfully contributed handsome prizes, few of which were silk um- brella by J. F. Keane & Co. Bridge port; handsome brass clock :by G. W. Fairchild & Son, Bridgeport; cracker case by Peck x Lines, Bridgeport;:Tay- Tor, Curtis & Co.,; mirror, R. H. Beers & Co.,; l.. c. Morris, box of cigars; en- broidered suspenders, gold plated buck les, Globe clothing house, Danbury; solid bone whip; jewel case and many other valuable articles. The club rooms were handsomely decorated with flags and greens. A light lunch was served at the conclusion of the play ing. The affair was under the imme- diate management of Attorney Beech CT and c. G. Peck and to their efforts are due the great success of the affair.

Great consternation (not to say ter rOr) was spread throughout the town by the announcement of case of diphtheria having broken out in the household of J. w. Daley of Hawley vile, Miss Ada VenesS being the vic tim. Immediately the whole town seemed to be in quarantine. The Lake George school was closed, the teacher dismissed, nor was this considered Suf- ficient precautiOn, for some gentleman of leisure reported the case to the town authorities, who summarily re- manded Miss Keane's sister from the Newtown High school, while Miss Margaret Keane, who teaches the Han over scnool, was also requested to take a vacation. Necessary precautions are always cOmmendahle in contagious diseases, but it strikes the writer that these were unnecessary ones, done, as it undoubtedly was, by persons who are only too prone to spread disease. As a prominent doctor of a nearby town said: "One would think this town never had a contagious disease instead of having them liberally sprinkled (as all towns do) throughout it every win ter. ."-[ -[Lake George Citizen.
