BABIES BENEFIT BY
 NEW SKIN DIS C0vERY
Stops Itching immediately, soothes
 and Comforts the Little Ones.

@to SSHtfOfho tnc @ieoS O'~o'
 A demonstration of the efficacy and entire harmlessness of poslam, the new skin discovery, is afforded when 1t is applied to the tender skin of in- fants who are tortured with rashes, ehahngs, scaly aggravations. Its effect is soothing, the itching stops at once, the skin heals and is quickly restored to normal condition.
 In the various forms of skin troubles in both infants and adults. poslam produces beneficial results from the first application. Eczema. acne, herpes, rash, letter. etc. yield readily to its remarkable curative properties. Occasional applications will quickly banish plmples, blotches and complex ion blemishes and will relieve and cure itching feet, scaly scalp humors. etc.
 Poslam can be had for fifty-cents at any reliable druggists. particularly Lee & Osgoods and Smiths Drug Store in Norwich, Larue's in Putnam, Woodwsrds in Danielson and Chese- bros in Willimantic. who make a spe- cialty of 1t. Or the Emergency Lab- oratories, No. S2 West 18th Street. New York City. will send a trial sup ply free by mail to any one who will write for it. This is sufficient to show results in A hours.

 At Northrop's Corner the snow was piled so high on either side of the troll ley tracks that at different times on Monday two sleighs were overturned. One of the horses ran.

WRITES A MARCH.
Roy c. Phillips Puts Forth His Sec
 ond Composition.

Roy c. Phillips, who scored success about a year ago with a musical com- position, has just placed another to his credit and it is now in print from the press of Boston publishing house. This latest composition by MT. Phil lips is a march twostep in 6S time, written with two movements and a trio and of such arrangement as to make it easy for ordinary players. A point of distinction for MT. Phillips was that the manuscript was accepted just as he presented it and the piece is print ed just as he wrote it.
 The new twostep, which has an in spring swing to it, is named Uncle Sam's and has an appropriate and pretty cover page. MT. Phillips former composition referred to above was the Billy and Betty waltzes, in which he collaborated with Prof. Franz Jahn.

MAILS DELAYED.
Late in Arriving Here and Because of Late Christmas Presents Extra Carriers Were Needed.

The mails had not become straight ened out on Monday and were late in getting here. causing quite an extra burden for the carriers, as much of it was delayed Christmas matter, and it became necessary to send out substi- tutes to help the regulars. Only two deliveries outside the business section could be made because of the hard travelling. As in other cities, the post cards piled up by the thousand and gave the carriers much extra work.
 The rural carriers found it hard go- ing on Monday and they were late in getting back from their long deliveries with the extra amount to be carried.
 Postmaster Caruthers had planned better than many offices for the hand ling of the Christmas mail, so that except for the delayed mails all was out of the way with the ending of Christmas.
