"For -three years I suffered with cvariau trouble, having inflammation and an abscess on riirht ovarv. Had Euch pain in my back and head, and at times was unable to walk. Had sev eral doctors, but they did not do me much good. One doctor said that I would have to have an operation and have the ovarv removed. I became discouraged and gave up all hopes of getting well. I began taking Lydia ti. I'lnunams vet-eta ulc Compound. I wrote to Mrs. Vinkhamand followed her directions faithfully, and am bet ter than I have been for three years.

Hood had passed away. lie went from this place a few weeks ago to the home of his parents In Maiden, Mass., in tho hope that a change, with the aid of tho best med ical skill, might save his life, but ho grad ually failed and death came as a relief to him in his terrible sufferings. Mr. Rood was born at Port Hllford. Nova Scotia, Dec. 20, 1809. Ho studied for tho ministry at Newton Theological seminary, preaching at Shirley, Mass,, meanwhile. lie was oiiiained at Shlrlev Juno 17. 1807. and began his labors with the Baptist church in this placo tho foilowlnc week. Ho was married at East Boston March 31, ISO", to Miss Sadlo E. fcuse of Pennsyl vania, who survives him. His fatal ail ment was valvular disease of tho heart. During Mr. Rood's residence In Wilnilnc- ton he won tho universal esteem of all. no was a gentleman at all limes and under all circumstances. He was a zealous pas tor and labored unceasingly to build up his society. Now that ho has gone from our couimuifity, ho leaves behind him that wuicli is of more valuo than any earthly possession, which Is better than aught else, a good name. The sympathy of tho com munity goes otlt to the young wife. Tho funeral services were held at Maiden Thursday, March 15, Rev. II. O. Hlscox of that place officiating, assisted by Rev. James h. orcro9s of Amesbury and Rev. ii. u. uocKweu of Allston. Kev. Mr. xor- cross was a classmate of Mr. Rood. The burial was In Woodlawn cemetery. E. B. Bulfum, C. M. Ware and E. B.

The place was not noted for its fertility, out by uini ot bard wort, frugality and In dustry, Sir. Ware accumulated a hand some competency. Mrs. Ware died Dec. 31, 18S4, and since then Mr. Ware has lived with his children. Mr. aud Mrs. Ware became members of tho Methodist church at this place early in life and ever maintained a deep interest in the church of their choice, contributing liberally In support of services. Five children sur vive: Orrln O. and Herbert A. of this place, L. A. of Baltimore, Harvey S. of New York and Mrs. Hattie E. Merrill of Brattleboro.

Mrs. Houghton was largely in strumental In organizing the junior league and until her removal to ltraltleboro this week, has performed very faithful seivice as its superintendent. The appointment of Frank L. Fish, now of Vergennes, as bank examiner of Ver mont, Is of course very gratifying to every resident of his native town oi -ewiane. We who knew Mr. Fish as a boy and young man have not been surprised, as we have noted his steady and substantial ad vance in positions of honor and trust. We arc expecting to share in further and larg er honors evidently in store for him. The Dennis A. Dickinson farm of 320 acres, near this village, has been bargained to Charles W.

The statistics given by tho speaker relative to the recent gain of Mor- monism in numerical strengtlt in sever al states, exceeding the gain of several of the largo religious denominations com bined, came as a surprise to most of the audience. Dr. Marble evidently considers this questions one of the most menacing that confionts our future as a nation. He would first have our people become thor ouelilv Informed in regard to the sub ject, this information to be followed up by activo agitation, and by uio thorough sup nortof all missionary and other enter prises now workinc to counteract tho evil in its strongholds.

Every year there is held at Tuskegce, Ala., the seat of Booker T. Washington's industrial school for negroes, a "Farmers' Congress." The black men and their wives drive in from all the country around to have a talk-over about what they have been doing during the year. Mr. Washing ton Is always there to help and encourage. His remarks at one of these "Congresses" recently held, will pleasantly recall to those who heard Mr. Washington in Brattleboro the past winter his common-sense way of treating his subject: "What are you going to take home with you in the way of Inspiration'.' We are a great people for 'getting happy.' We llko to encourage each other by soncs and groans an J different kinds of expression; but the better way Is to take the Inspira tion home with us, and put it into prac tice. "You are getting homes for yourselves. but it is not enough to get a home: it is important to keep and improve it, and have it in good repair. We are a great people for believing in the command, 'Take no thought for the morrow.' No people- ap preciate that command as we do. Rut that does not mean that we must not lav bv anything. We are terribly afraid of that part of the Ulble which says something about Its being Impossible for a rich man to get into heaven. But I never saw a col ored man in danger of going to hell on ac count oi ms riches. That verso simply means that we must not worship money and wealth. It does not mean that we are not to put money Into the bank." The report from which this extract is taken coutines: "Then he gave them good advice about Increasing the school term, keeping school- nouses in good order, staying away from courts, planting a variety of crops and other things. Speeches and reports from many farmers followed, showlnc a decided' improvement In their condition over live years aco. Cotton has sold better this year, and many are out of debt. There is less mortgaging of crops and lands and a greater proportion of those who have bought land. "There was a good deal of criticism of certain idle colored women who banc about tho court houses in some of the towns, and one of the brethren was a little hard on them. Ho thought there was real 'wroiigncss In them, and that every bad woman ought to tote her own burden, and not bring disrespect on the colored people by her wrongncss.' He thought there were bad children, too, and accounted for It by saying that 'de debble kin tell a chll' to do wrong, as well's he kin a man.' 'One man who has acquired some prop crty showed, in what the Germans would call a pair of words, the effect It had had on me community. 'As toon as the white folks found 1 had money in the bank, they quit callln' mo 'Bob.' Ho was introduced to the audience as 'Mr.' 'A second day was spent in a conference tor tue 'workers' teachers, business men, tradesmen and artisans, who are working to improve the condition of the colored race." Klght 11 1 g Hhlpi. The Washington correspondent of the lioston uiobe is authority for the state ment that the new naval program to bo recommended by the bouse committee on naval affairs is as follows: Two large bat' tleshlps of 13,500 tons each and of the highest practicable speed and costing about $0,000,000 each; three big armored cruis ers of 13,000 tons each, of the highest practicable speed, costing about $0,000, 000 each ; three largo protected cruisers of buuu tons each, high speed, and to cost about $4,500,000 each. These recommen datlons will require a total expenditure of from foo.OOU.OOO to f50,ouo.O0O. none of which will have to be appropriated at this session of Congress because it will take, nearly a year to draw up plans for the ships, and not till then will appropriations ue needed for tnelr construction.

Gauge Rnll- Miotr IMon- ami Ttro 1. nellies Derailed Ihe ".Nnlinoii Ilnle"Iasienf;tr Train Stalled Alioe Jniimlca, The heavy snow storm of last Thursday night gave the narrow gauge railroad a hard tussle." Traftlc on the road was at a stand still from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon and It was only by hard work on the part of the trainmen that connection between Urattleboio and Londonderry was established. Tho passenger train reached Londonderry Thursday night with little difficulty, but trouble began when It start ed for Brattleboro Friday morning. At Pratt's bridge, four miles nortli of Jamai ca, immense drifts were encountered. Some, of the train hands walked to Jamai ca and telegraphed to llrattleboro for as sistance, and the snow plow and one engine were at once despatched. The relief train left Brattleboro about 10:30 Friday morn ing but "got stuck" between here and West River bridge, and It was about - o'clock before It got started again. With tbe aid of a second engine the relief train reached Jamaica at 7 o'clock, going through drifts from eight to VI feet high. From S to 12 o clock was spent in open ing tho half-mile of track north of Jamai ca, work finally being discontinued on ac count of tho exhausted condition of the train crews. The stalled passenger train was reached about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The plow and locomotives then backed to Ja maica, theio allowinc tho passenger train to pass them, and then slarted to clear the remaining live miles oi track, reaching Londonderry at 0 o'clock. The passenger train continued its downward trip without further mishap, reaching Iiratlleboro soon after 4 o'clock, over 32 hours late. On Sunday morning the snow plow aud tho two locomotives started on the re turn trio Intendinc to "wing out" the road, that is, to push the snow back from tho sides of the track with tbe wings on the plow. This was a slow process as tho track had not been "winged" at all din ing the first of tho winter, and it was near ly 10:30 when the train reacneu aaimon Hole bridge, a short distance beiow lowns- hend. As the train was rounding the 2o degree curve at the soutu cnu oi tue onuge tho snow plow "took to the woods," to to speak, running about 80 feet on the ties and wlndlnc up with Its nose In a sand bank. The engines followed the plow's lead and soon came to a halt behind It at nearly rieht ancles with tho track. Tho pilot of 103 was demolished and a brake, beam and some castings broken on No. 2 The derailment was probably caused by Ice which formed between the guard rail and one of tho main irons. Had tho plow taken It into its head to turn to tho left instead of the right when it left the rails the whole train would have plunged down the steep embankment Into the river and loss of lifo could not have been averted. Immediately after the accident a tele' phono message was sent to headquarters and the one engine left on the rails was sent to the scene from Londonderry. Mat ters were finally set at right and the train proceeded to Brattleboro after a delay of 14 hours, reichlnc hero at 1 o'clock Mou day mornlnc. thus closing an eventful three days in the history of tbe road. It would seem that the numerous accl dents which have occurred on this road the past winter could not bo laid entirely to tho large quantity of snow. Passengers who have occasion to ride over the road complain of tbe bad condition of the rails and roadbed. Admiral and Mrs. Dewey left Washing ton Sunday night for a trip South. They probably will not return to Washington until tne latter pari 01 next monui, at which time, It Is eatd, they will sail for Europe, visiting tbe exposition some time during tue summer. FRANK L. FISH RECOMMENDED. ormer flrnlllrhoro T.atv Stluleut Will He Hank Kinniliier for Vermont. The entire Vermont delegation In Con gress has recommended the appointment ft rank L. rlsh of Vergennes, formerly f Urattleboro, as bank examiner for Ver mont. Mr. Fish was born in Newfane, in 1S03, and was educated at Leland and Gray seminary at Townshend, and Ver mont Academy at Saxtons River, graduat ing from the latter in liS&ii. lie taught tbe graded school in bouth Londonderry, where he began the study of law with Senator A.

Ue completed his legal studies with Judge Lavant M. Read of Bellows Fails, and was admitted to the bar In October, 1SS0. In the January following he opened a law of fice m Vergennes. In December, lb'Jl, ho was appointed state attorney for Addi son county, succeeding w. 11. liliss re signed, and held the office by repeated re elections until the present time, and would probably have received a re-election this year If he desired It. Mr. Fish has distinguished himself as one of the leading lawjers in western Ver mont. He has always participated In poli tics, and at the last Republican state con vention he was spokesman for Hon. D. H. Lewis, who was a candidate for state treas urcr, and made a forcible speech iu behalf of his candidate. He has been sclectod by the Republican state committee to preside at the convention in Burlington, Apr. lb, to elect delegates at large to the Republican national convention.
