l)ear Sir, —during the past five years I have had
a.nip.e opportunity to judiw of the merits of Vege
-1 1 i N j ‘ r y W .^ e liiß US(J d it for complaints attending
a lady of delicate health, with more beneficial results
than anything else which she ever tried. I have
given it to my children under almost every circum
stance attending a large fainiiy, and always with
marked benefit. I have taken it myself with such
great benefit that 1 cannot find words to express my
unqualified appreciation of its goodness.
While performing roy duties as a Police Officer in
this city, it has been my lotto fall in with a great
d*al ot sickness. I unhesitatingly recommend Veg-
Etine, and I never knew of a case where it did not
prove all that, was claimed for it. Particularly in
cases of a debilitated or impoverished state of the
blood its effects are really wonderful; and for all
complaints arising from an impure state of the blood
it appears to work like a charm, and 1 do not believe
there are any circumstances under which VEGF.TLNE
can be used with injurious results, and it will always
afford me pleasure to give any further information
as to what I know about Veoetine.

One of the gieatert calamities that
could befall a people. Those far re
tro ved from this sections visited by
this fiightlul epidemic, can form no
coriect conception of its effect upon
tho country it visits. The mental suf
fering in many instances is more dis
tres-ingx than the physiosl. The
homes of the rich and poor, the young
and the old are alike broken np by its
sudden visitations. It goes into homes
and often takes out the father and
mother, leaving the helpless children
to perish for want of proper caie and
protection. A letter ef recent date

A Good Story.
The following story is represented
to us as true, and wo believe it has
never appeared in print:
In tne oiden times, when all the
convicts were kept in the penitentiary
at Milledgevii e, li-v. Mr. B-antly, a
Methodist minister, was appointed
chaplain to the penitentiary. Soon af
ter his appointment ho was walking
about the penitentiary, mingling with
his new paiishoners. One of them
was inclined fo he quite talkative, anil
in tho conversation this dialogue oc
curred :
“You are Mr Bnt!y, I believe;
our new chaplain.”
, Yee / sir,” said Mr. B
“And they tell we you are a Meth
odist, M’. Brai.tly.”
“Yes I am a Methodist.”
“Well, lam so '.dad to hear it. I
am a Methodist myself, and there ere
a good many Methodis” in here. In
fact, most of ns ate Methodists.”
Mr. Brandy walked off, wrapt in
meditation.— Union Sf Recorder.
Horses Stung to Death by Bees.
Mr. Moses Hulet. of Shafreob'iry,
on returning lrom church ‘on a Sun
day afternoon, hitched his horses for
a lew moments till he could go over
to one of the neighbors, some fifty
rods distant, near two swar nsot bees.
He h and scatceiy arrived at the neigh
bor’s house, when Mis. Htilet dis
covered that the bees were stinging
the horses, and she gave the Alarm.
Mr. Hulet and one of the neighbors,
N. Graut, and Mi. Milo Mattivon, of
Bennington, who was with Mr. Hulet,
hunied to the team and found it com
pletely covered with bees. The horses
were floundering and plunging ic the
greatest agony The men rushing in
to extrica'e them were sevetely stung.
Nevertheless the beises w're cut
loose, but not in time to save them.
One of them died in a few hours, and
the oilier is in a precarious condition.
Fortunately neither of the men weie
seriously injured. The horses were
sweatit g and wete hitched so that the
wind b'ew frotn the hotses toward
j the bees, which is supposed to be the
cause of the attack. — Vermont Chrotu

“I’ll sell you this yaller one for

“I think my boy would like the
spotted one the best but you ask too

“Twenty-five cents for that spotted
