While out for drive the other day, the writer visited the old cemetery at Stevenson, near the Methodist church, on the Oxford side of the river. The oldest stone we found was erected to the memory of Thompson, son of Will liam Dawsin,: who was drowned in 1911. Another small stone erected over the grave of Reuben Spring, who di ed 1915 Gideon Northrop, who died in 18ls is buried there. The church nearby has recently been repaired and is in nice condition. The cemetery is grown up to weeds, grass and brush and evidently needs attention.

 September 10, 1903. Editor of THE VIEWPOINT BEE, Dear Sir: Referring to THE BEE of August 21. In relation to Lake Waramaug, would say that my grandfather, Bird sey Beardsley, gave Holy Spring it's name.

It has been called by that name ever since. AS native of New Preston I shall take pleasure in showing your article referring to the Lake to my friends. With best wish es to yourself and THE BEE I remain, Very truly,-[J. H. Lyman, 38 Brin- kershotf street, Jersey City, N. J.

An Ancient Foe

To health and happiness is Scrofula - as ugly as ever since time iinmemorial.
 It causes punches in the neck, dis figures the skin, infames the mucous membrane, wastes the muscles, weak ems the bones, reduces the power of resistance to disease and the capacity for recovery, and develops into con- sumption.
 "A bunch appeared on the left side of my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced, and became running sore. I went into a general decline. I was persuaded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. and when had taken six bottles my neck was healed and have never had any trouble of the kind since." MRS. K. T. Sre<EsE, Troy, Ohio.
