HIM. HIS wIFE's ENTHUSIASM.
There is one remedy that will cure
rheumatism in any of it's forms and SO
thoroughly eradicate the disease from
the system that the cure is perma-
nent. This remedy is DR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and proof
of the statement is found in the en-
perience of Mr. T. S. Wagar, of No. -
Academy street, WATERFOWL, n. y.
He says:
"The pain was in my joints and MY
suffering for over two years was he
yond description. There was an in
tense pain in my shoulders that pre-
vented me from sleeping and | would
get up and walk the floor at night.
When ! began taking DR. Williams
Pink Pills the improvement was grad
ual, but after had taken four boxes
1 was entirely cured and l have not
had the slightest touch of rheumatism
since that time"
Mr. Wagar'S wife is also enthusiastic
IN her endorsement of DR. Williams
Pink Pills. She says; 81 have tried
the pills myself for stomach trouble
and have experienced great relief from
their use. My daughter. Mrs Atwood,
of Gill street, Watertown, has used
them for female weakness and wa S
much benefited by them. regard DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
as an extremely valuable family medi-
cine.''
DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are successful because they at
tack the disease at it's root. Other re-
NEEDLES act on the symptons-these
marvellous pills remove the cause of
the trouble. They have proven them
selves specific for all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood
and weakened nerves-two fruitful
causes of all the ills to which man is
heir. DR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are sold only in boxes at
| fifty cents box, or six boxes for two
dollars and fifty cents, and may be
had of all druggists, or direct by mail
from DR. Williams Medicine Co., Sche-
nectady, N. Y.

LONGEVITY IN NEWTOWN.
| WILLIAM G. HAWLEY IN THE ACADE-
MICIAN OF SEPTEMBER, 1851.

NewtoWn and vicinity has always
been celebrated for it's remarkable
Salubrity of climate. This cannot be
better illustrated than in the lives of
two very ancient inhabitants of the
district of Lands End. These inhab-
itants are an old negro and an old
turtle.
The negro is known as Jack DibbIe
believe we cannot claim him as
native; he was born in Africa, and was
brought as slave to Virginia, where
he was sold many times. He says he
remembers going to a neighboring
town near where he lived, to see Gen
Washington's Amy pass through. He
has now resided in Newtown about
so years. His age is not exactly known,
but it is supposed to be about l2O years.
Upon being asked, he always says he
is 81, and this has been his answer as
long as | remember.
Now for the turtle. This old fellow
was born in Lands End. He was seen

good attendance there was a surplus Of
goodies, which were disposed of at auc-

along together; and we shall have to
grin and bear it, Let us reflect then,
that the end OF the law is love: and
that one OF the commandments of God
may be just as sacred, just as impor-
taut, and just as binding as another.
The moral law is one universal law
which Christ expresses in love to God
and love to man. To break any one of
the commandments is to violate the
love of God. AS St James says: (2:12)
"For whomsoever shall keep the whole
law, and yet offend in one point, he is
guilty of all"
1t is singular fact that man who
violates the third commandment by
horrible profanity, will hound his
neighbor with the most persistent,
self-righteous zeal, if he has a suS-
picion that he is breaking some other
number of the Decalogue. A man who
will lie about his neighbor, never
thinking perhaps of the ninth, will
manifest the warmeSt indignation
against thief who has violated the
eighth command. One who covets ev-
erything his friend has, may entertain
the most holy horror, so to speak, OF
murder, or the Dissertation of the
Lords Day. Ignorance and emotional
piety exhibit some very strange freaks
of conscience. 1t is neither crime nor
sin for some to get drunk; while others
will not eat vinegar made of cider be-
cause cider will intoxicate. And
have even heard of men who cut down
their orchards so that no fruit could
grow to be made into alcoholic drinks.
The quickest way in which to cure
evil is to cut off the head Of every per-
son as soon as you can catch him in
any wrong-doing. Then when there
is only just very few of the best of
us left what a blessed time we might
have together, if only we should hap
pen to agree.
Seriously, we must not presume to
do evil that good may come as the re-
suit of our Impotence with abuses
which are possible in the divine econo-
my of this life. To violate one law of
nature in order to punish the abuse OF
another is neither good sense nor good
religion. To dishonor one command
ment of God in our zeal to enforce
another is neither science nor good
morals. The Kingdom of Heaven
must at least be consistent with itself,
and at peace within its own borders or
it cannot do its perfect work. We
cannot expect to promote the right
eousness Of God by doing wrong. "Be
not overcome of evil, but overcome
evil with good" is the divine law of
Christian morality.
Publicity may be a virtue, or it may
be vice. But let us remember that
the end of the law is love; and as the
Apostle declares: Glove covereth
multitude of SINS"

OF COM S IN
NEWTOWN.

AN EARLY INDUSTRY IN NEWTOWN,
NOW ENTIRELY A THING OF THE
PAsT.-FROM THE ACADEMICIAN OF
MARCH, 1858.
Among the many different manu-
features in our town, that of horn
combs employs the most persons, and
is carried on to the greatest extent.
The combs which are manufactured
here, are principally fancy back and
side combs, worn by the ladies to orna-
ment their heads. The processes
through which the horns pass are
numerous, and 1 propose brief des-
cription of them.
In comb making there are three de-
partments: The pressshop, where the
raw material is got out; the makers
shop, where the teeth are made, and
the carving and open work done; and
the finishing shop, where the combs
are rubbed, colored, polished, bent and
packed.
In the press shop the horns are first
softened in cold water, and then the
external surface is scraped off and the
horns sawed into pieces of different
dimensions, according to the pattern
to be made. The pieces are put into
warm water short time, and after
wards immersed for about five minutes
in whale oil and heated to the boiling
point. They are next placed in a
heavy iron press, kept hot by charcoal,
and subjected to great pressure, for
about the same length Of time as they
were in the oil. The press works by
screw with large wheel on it, and a
lever to act on the wheel. This presses
the horn fiat, and reduces it to a more
uniform thickness. The oil and hot
press have the effect of making the
horn semi transparent. The pieces are
next passed through dies which cut
them the right shape, and large enough
for two combs. Then they are placed
under iron plates till cool to keep them
from warping. The pieces are now
ready for the makers shop. In this
shop the pieces are first soaked in
water for "a hours. This softens them
so that they can be worked easily.
They are next shaved down to a suit
able thickness. For this operation
several instruments are used, the
principal one of which very much
resembles curriers' knife. The next
operation is that of cutting the teeth,
which is done by machinery. The
pieces are first heated on a fine, which
makes them soft. Then the teeth are
cut through the center of the piece, SO

PRIVATE ownership OF public service
corporations is responsible for the dis

lature Of Illinois. ALI this trouble ,disor.
der and alleged dishonesty are the out
growth of an effort Of corporation ridden
Chicago to resume control OF that which
rightly belongs to her. The desperate
effort made by the street car corpora
tiOns to defeat the will OF the people
was never more manifest than in this
instance. These great corporations are
outlaws, anarchists and criminals in
every sense. The Chicago incident
only illustrates the magnitude of the
struggle that is to be between the peo-
pie and the corporations In the future.
