June 1B, 1876.

All singers in the vicinity-remem Der and go to the Hollow tomorrow evening, and rehearse for the monster open air concert at Holland on the 4th of July.
 A considerable party of the young people of this village made a surprise visit to MT. and Mrs. A. w. Tuthill on their return from their bridal trip last Friday evening. A neat little note of welcome and we'll wishes was read, accompanied by the presenta- tion of a beautiful castor, in behalf of the young friends. Other presents were exhibited of silver and silver plated articles. After an evening of pleasant enjoyment and partaking of refreshment, etc., the party broke up.
 On Tuesday evening about sixty of the ladies and gentlemen of the vil- lage made a friendly call at the Springs House, and partook of a sup per which they had ordered provided there. The object of the visit was to show a friendly interest on the part of the villagers to the hotel as now kept by MT. and Mrs. Woods Upon the call of Julius Converse, be- fore arising from the table, several persons made brief addresses. Rev Dr. Church was first called upon. He was followed by R. D. Davison. Esq.

The building in which this idea is carried out in @ most attractive man. ner is without question one of the finest commercial structures in the country. The architect was George P. B. Alderman of Holyoke, who de- signed the Holyoke building of the company, a notably fine structure. The location of the Springfield build ing is in the very heart of the shop ping district, on the east side of Main street, at the corner of Hillman, the lot extending back to Barnes street, 1pon the farther corner of which stands the well-known Highland hu- tel. The site is about midway be- tween the Haynes and Forbes 6 Wal lace stores and is next to that of Meekins, Packard 6 Wheat. The building which this replaces was owned by E. O. Clark and occupied in part by him as a grocery store.
 The new building is, in it's exte- rior, of pure Greek design, the front being executed in white Indiana lime stone, the stone structure being car ried around the corner on Hillman street for about 25 feet. AS shown in the cut, the building is four stories above the basement, the lower story being of unusual height, and all of the stories above being higher than is ordinarily found in store buildings. It is superbly lighted. The block has a 5O-foot frontage on Main street, and in the lower story this width is en- tirely in plate glass. The large panes are 9 feet high by nearly 16 feet long, and the plate glass construction extends along Hillman street for about an equal distance, to the carriage en- trance. What the windows are above is shown in the cut, all the large panes swinging perpendicularly on their centers and the transoms lifting horizontally. The block extends back 12O feet, far enough to receive light on it's north side, making the rooms fully lighted on three sides and partly

stock and sample rooms, the heating finely equipped toilet rooms for the help of the store.
 On the first floor are carried silk, dress goods. umbrellas and parasols. notions, laces, gloves, leather goods, white and wash goods, shell goods, neck wear, ribbons, veilings, and handkerchiefs. At the left, as one enters, is a large wall showcase, panelling and full of fine umbrellas. On the floor in front of it is a plate glass counter case of gloves, and against the side of the store is the glove section, extending hack about 30 feet, to the main staircase. Above an orderly arrangement of several hundred glove drawers ill what is called Hedge case'' of plate glass, about five feet high, for special dis plays.
 Next come the stairs and elevators, back of these the white and wash goods department, extending for 60 feet and occupying a part of the rear, followed by large space devoted to silks, and this by the lace and hand kerchief department, which extends to the side entrance on Hillman street. Between this and the front entrance is the department of ribbons and veil ings, occupying about 40 feet of coun- ter room. Through the center runs a double line of counters, given to the special display devices of much inter- est. The floor is thus traversed lengthwise by two broad aisles and crosswise by a 1O-foot aisle which reaches from the side entrance to the elevators and stairs. On the north side, above the wash goods depart ment, is the cash gallery, of ample size and containing the motor for the cash carrier system and desks for the cashier and assistants.
 The staircase and elevators are a fine feature. The woodwork of the stairs is in oak and the landings are many, making the rise from floor to floor very easy. Upon each landing is mirror reaching from floor to ceil- ing, il. a broad futed frame with Cor inthian capitals. The newel posts are hexagonal with conical top and are beautifully carved. Between the hand rails and treads is scroll work in black iron, from the Cheney Bigelow wire works of Springfield. The ele- vator ironwork is carried out in sim pie design, and upon the panels on each floor is bronze shield bearing

"NO CURE, NO PAY."
How finders Jacobsen Sells Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.

finders Jacobsen has an unusual offer to make to our readers, one that will be of the greatest value to many.
 For some years finders Jacobsen has been watching the results from the use of Hyomei,a a treatment for catarrh that cures by breathing medicated air, absolutely without any stomach dos- ing. The results have been so uni versally successful that he feels iusti- fled in making a public offer to treat the worst case of catarrh in Stafford with the understanding that if Hyomei does not cure, the treatment will cost absolutely nothing.
 People who have spept large sums with catarrh specialists, deriving but little benefit, or the many who have swallowed stomach remedies in the vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex- perienced almost immediate relief from the use of Hyomei, while the continued treatment for a short time, has resulted in a complete and lasting cure.
 The regular Hoymei outfit costs only one dollar, and consists of a neat pocket inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest pocket, medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei. If this is not enough for a cure, extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents
 finders Jacobsen positively guaran- tees cure, if Hyomei is used in ac- cordance with directions, or he will refund the money.

Poison I'm War.

The use of poison in war was once considered not only permissible, but commendable, and was defended by no less an authority than Wolff. There are reported instances of wells, springs, ponds and streams being pol soned as a military measure. Even in our time instances are numerous of the intentional defilement of drinking wa ter supplies by throwing the bodies of animals into the stream or pond.

The Sen Otter.

The sea otter combines the habits of a seal with the intelligence and anus ing character of the otter. When met in herds far out at sea, which is but seldom now, they are commonly seen swimming on their backs. They even eat their food lying in this position on the water, and nurse their young ones on their chests between their paws, ex- actly as a south sea island mother swims with her baby in the water When swimming in this attitude they even shade their eyes with their paws when the sun daZZles them.

s.raat crovd. Tn cor.ca..

One of the features of the city of Ga racas, Venezuela, that most strongly impresses a foreigner is the rapidity with which a crowd gathers in the streets. This is best exemplified when some of the many wandering musi- clans, in whom Caracas abOunds, pre- pare to give an impromptu open air concert. Their first notes no sooner echo through the neighborhood than there gathers to listen vast throng that almost blocks up the thoroughfare. The cobblers and all the other tenants of the entries, having no doors to open or stairs to descend, are on the spot al- most instanter. They eagerly drink in the music, but at the same time bear a wary eye upon the hats of the musi- clans, and no sooner do they observe the slightest indication that one is about to be taken off for the purpose of taking up a collection by passing 1t around among the crowd than they dis appear even more quickly than they came.

 diseases come be- fore Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail. Mrs. Pink ham is the daughter-in-lawo of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her de- cease she has been advising sick women free of charge.
 Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con- fidence of women, and every testimon- ial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as she has been.
 Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of SIS Boyce Street, Chattanooga, Tenn, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "Three years ago life looked dark to me- I had alteration and inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition.
 "My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that if l was not op- erated upon would die within six months. l told him would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against 1t but sent for the medicine that same day and began to use it faithfully. Within i've days felt relief but was not entirely cured until used it for some time.
 "Your medicine is certainly fine. have induced several friends and nefghbors to take 1t and know more than a dozen who had female troubles and who to-day are as well and strong as am from using your Vege- table Compound"
 Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always help ful.

Lincoln the Lawyer.

It is conceded by all his cOntempO- raries that Lincoln was the best all around jury lawyer of his day in H. linois. Undoubtedly his knowledge of human nature played an important part in his success. He possessed an other quality, however, which is all most if not quite as essential in jury work, and that is clearness and sim plicity of statement. His logical mind marshaled facts in such orderly se- quence and he interpreted them in such simple language that child could fol low him through the most complicated cause. and his mere recital of the is sues had the force of argument.-Fred- erick Trevor Hill in Century.
