 Few Notes In Circulation.
 Thursday. Feb. Is, 1S65.--Withir1 the past few weeks there has been a great dinlinution in the amount of legal ten der notes in circulation. This is said to be the result of disposition on the part of country banks, bankers and individuals to hoard greenbacks and shows a gratifying increase ot confidence in the financial measures of the government coupled with the be- lief that there is soon to be a great decline in gold and consequently q relative increase in the value of these bills.
 No recruits are now accepted at the Provost MarshaPs offices in the state for the First and Second Connecticut Artillery regiments, orders to that ef- feet having been issued by the war department.

 Monday Feb. 13, 1S60-One volun- teer for killingly was accepted at the provost marshafs on Saturday. As the draft is set down for Wednesday several of our citizens had best begin to reduce their Wardrobes to what they can put in a knapsacl1,. and the less they put in it the more sensible.
 There was an alarm Of fire~Sunday night caused by Q. chimney catching fire in the residence of Joseph G. Lamb at the corner of Franklin and Bath streets. The chimney. which was full Of soot, was set on fire from a stove i'll one Of the rooms, and bla2ed fierce ly for some tirne threatening serious results, but the flames were finally quenched by a ppofuse application Of water by the neighbors.
 Dead Baby on Doorstep.

A SAFE, WAY TO
 STOP INDIGESTION
Without. Fear Of Weakening the stom- aca--Eyofks Fine fin Any Case and RrIngs Relief sn Ten Minutes.

RrInEB Relief Sa Ten Minutes.
 The greatest folly of today Is com mitted by people with weak dyspeptic stomachs who take artificial digesters to cure indigestion.
 Artificial igesters-pepsin pills. etc. simply encourage a lazy or tired out stomach to shirk it's work by doing most of It's work for it. TAls is fine pepttc knows, artificial dIgesters soon lose their efficiency. Where one once did the trick three or four are now re- quired. and the poor old stomach itself Is worse off than ever:
 Your stomach must be strong enough to expand and contract with a sort of churring movement so as to mix it's digestive juices with your food. If your stomach isn't strong enough to properly churp your food, you will every meal until you make it strong
 There is one stomach remedy that every dySpeptIc can depend on as sure ly as that the sun will rise tomorrow, Stomach Tablets. Most stomach reme- dies let the stomach rest and digest the food themselves 81-O-na don't digest anything but 1t will strengthen and stimulate the stomach and make it do It's, own tdig9sJ1uS- It stops stomach pains, gas, blOatiug, burning, belching, etc. in ten minutes and does still better by making the Habby, lnt1amed and 1n- active stomach walls grow strong and elastic and able to do their own churn- ing. Mi-o-na Tablets never lose their effect and unlike mere artificial di- gssters need not be used forever. A few weeks use is generally sufficient to put any stomach in fine shape and leadine druggists hereabouts sell it with that understanding. agreeing to refund money to anyone who does not get complete relief.
