Good Itenolvoti. . ...
It is never out of season ' to reform,1
leave off bad habits, or form good reso
lutions, provided they are lived up to,
but jthe New Year is a peculiarly.
good time to make these resolves. ' It i
a period when we seem to start afresh in.
the battle of life. Now therefore all you
young people, ' and older ones, if you
hare done well in 1867, strive to do even
better in 1 868. If you have done poorly
or badly, or wc will say wickedly, why
yew have even a better vote to gain
from,? and now is your time to take a
nfew start. " Itesolve firmly, and stand by
your faith, and your- faith will stand by
ybu: If you are addicted to dissolute or -
badltahiu-and who among vs have not
some-sow is the time to-shake them off,
and emancipate eesclves. T Resolve .to
be temperate, not inooebot in all things.
To abstain ' from intoxicaUng drinks is
good and important, and 'yet ft' will
prove a failure if you , allow other vices
to canker in your social life, and es
pecially if you allow them to Increase in
the proportion to which you decrease a
single one. ' Resolve then now, to leave
the evil and seek die good. We dq uot
spocify,-you all have a monitor that will
do that,-and above all make these reso
lutions practical! ,. ,

The people of Springfield have always
handsomely patronized the Times- a
fact which we tli ink we appreciate. Those
who wish to subscribe oe continue their
patronage will find our -steadfast friend
and agent Mr. Geo. C. Porter, ready
to attend to their wishes at his store." The
people of that place now have, in part
at least, a village paper of their own, to
which they ought and doubtless do give
a liberal support. ' We mean of course
the Springfield edition of the Vermont
Record. - Let them support their home
paper, and then do what they can for the
rest of us. That's our doctrine.
Speaking of our agent above reminds
us of his store, where we believe business
is done under the firm of Geo. W. Por
ter & Cos and where may always be
found a good assortment of groceries,
hardware, dry goods, 'Ac,.- and all our
readers who do business in that "place
should make them a call. It is one of the
long standing and reliable stores in that
enterprising village.
The New Kptseopal Church.
Tho new Church which has been pro-
jeeted for several years is after many
vexatious delays at last completed, and
was occupied for the first time on Christ
inas day. It meets tho approval of its
friends and the admiration of all who
see it. It is built of stone in Gothic style,
after the M Upjohn model," ijnd is a fine
imposing looking edifice, and will be pro
nounced one of the first in the State in
point of architectural beauty and design.
The roof is slated ornamentally with tri
colored slate, and gives the exterior an
attractive appearance. The inside of the
house we wish to mention more particu
larly. It is finished to the roof and the
walls stained a delicate fawn color.
The arches and pillars which support the
roof are highly ornamental, and are
made of carved chestnut. The slips also
are chestnut, finished with a moulding of
black walnut. The carving of the pulpit
and altar are very fine, and particularly
the symbolic letters from the Greek
Alpha, Chiro, Omega.. The furniture of
the chancel is all of carved chestnut, the
wainscoting and embrasures of the win
dows of butternut, which would give the
house a sombre look, but for the most
beautiful part of the house the windows,
which for rare symbolic expression and
coloring can hardly bo surpassed. The
roso window at the west end of the
church is In memorium Mrs. Elmira Webb
Baxter and presented by Sidney Bax
ter, Esq., of New York. The exquisite
taste with which the symbols and colors
of this window are arranged, combine
artistic skill and a true appreciation of
tho emblems of the church. The " rose "
embraces the symbols of the crown,
phoenix, pelican, lamb triumphant, Bi
ble, and triangle. The " children's win
dows" aro directly beneath, four in num
ber and being tho gift of the Sunday
School arc particularly appropriate, the
fiist has a font 'with a lily and the in
scription beneath, " Blessed are the pure
in heart," the second has a cherub, with
oar Savior blessing little children, and
the inscription, " Of such is the kingdom
of Heaven," the third is a cherub with a
figme of Christ as the "good Shepherd"
and the in scription " Feed my lambs."
The fourth is " the cup " a passion flower,
and the in:icription, "By faith are ye
saved." The windows in the alcove of
the chancel njo very fine, two are memo
rials, and tho third, though intended for
011c, and finirdicd for that purpose, is not
appropriated. The emblems of this win
dow are the ark, mitre, patriarchal staff,
and keys. The window opposite this, is
In' memorium. Wentworth, which name
synonomous with benevolence, and by
whose gen erosity the beautiful window is
Added to the church. The emblems are
the dove, crown, Bible, and anchor. We
presume the window in the centre behind
the altar would be pronounced the ehefd-
ocuvre of tot. This is the window In mc
morium Atkinson, the figures are faith
and hope, w ith the inscription, By faith
7 ...-I," jb " XRjuiue in nope.
Those figures are the most beautiful con
ception of art, the coloring of the dra
pery, we never saw equalled, and the eye
may look ai id never tire upon these love
ly colors ani designs.
The churc h will be highly appreciated
by the society, the more so from the fact
that the old one has become so uncom
fortable, ami we trust the friends who
worship in th is beautiful edifice may long
enjoy the privilege.
Chester.- The Festival, Christmas
Eve., by the Ladies Episcopal Society of
Chester was Ii irgely attended, and proved
a pleasant til ne for those present and a
profitable affair for the ladies, their gross
receipts being $220. The Hall was hand
somely trimmed and lighted. The Christ
mas tree ancl tables were loaded with
fancy articles. Santa Claus distributed
his small wares freely to the children.
Cakes, Confectionery and ice creams were
furnished in the Hall and hot oysters,
Ac- in the dining room. The decant
dressing-gown was drawn by G. P.

the audience and make the entertainment
full and complete.
Christmas . Evening the Universalis
Society tri mimed and illuminated their
church and Tiad an address from their
pastor, Rev.'IMr. Guernsey, with music by
the choir. ' Thursday evening they had
a Christmas tree for the children of their

ents ; their pastor was also presented
with the elegant dressing gown, made by
the Ladies Episcopal Society and drawn
at their Fair by Mr. Spaulding.
The Annual !Masonic Ball will be giv
en at the IngraJiam House, Wednesday,
Jan. 15th. Mjusk by Kecne Quadrille

Lodges, and can be had of the Secreta
ries, or by applying to anV of the order.
Friends who are not members of the fra
ternity are cordially invited to join with

Cambridgefort. The people of Cam
hridgeport feel much regret that the
Woolen factory there is to be stopped.
The present company took the Hotel in
to their possession last spring, and have
not oniy kept an excellent public house,
but kept it on strict temperance princi
ples, and since which there has been a
marked change for the better in the
place.
They have a young minister at Cam-
bndgeport of much talent and energy,
and a revival is now going on and sev
eral conversions are announced.

Liquor Case. A liquor suit again&t
diaries Towns, of the Island House, and
which wo understand was commenced
some time ago, was brought to a focus
on &tturday, before Justice Hyde. It
appears that the witnesses found it con
venient to be absent on the day of trial.
-The plaintiff appeared and was of course
ready to proceed and also plead for a
jury. The prooeoutnm haxmg ste- wit
nesses, aked to have the case continued,
uL.lt the court refused. 1 They then
asked to enter a notto Lirh the
plaintiff resisted, on the ground that a
jury having been erapanneled they were
entitled to a verdict. The court sustain
ed this view and the jury immediately
returned a verdict of not gnilty. The
case excited some interest and we have
endeavored to make a brief statement of
it. The number of highly respectable
gentlemen who so suddenly Btampeded
out of town on tho day of the court
caused no little amount of amusement

Dr. Uraxk Dear Six: I was for a long time
troubled with Sciatica, for six weeks suffered Intol
erable pain. I tried all the remedies ottered, aa well
as 1'hyxicians, but of do avail. 1 heard of your suc
cess in treating disease! ; with great difficulty I went
to your i) thee. With the help of two men I got op
stairs. After one treatment I could go up ami down
stairs as well as ever, and now, after six months, 2
am entirely well, and feel no inconvenience whatev
er. Can walk and got about as well as before I was
taken. If any are afflicted in the same way. I would
teoommend trfrm to try one treatmeut. and know for
themselves. With much respect 1 am stmn. Ac.

WONDERFUL CURES. f; . ' . i

Dn. URAgg Dear ISir-One year ago 1 was an al
most helpless sufferer frem spinal disease; whicfe had
so entirely prostrated taf newous 4&lHtm ihtC I was
unable to leave my ro"m; could bear no bout and
but very litUo light without greet pain. -
Ly strength was rapidly foiling, and fortnonthsl
had not been able to see any one excepting Lhoea
who had the care of me. -
At this time a notice of yonr visit td BrettIebo-o
appeared, and, as all the means at hand for my re
covery had been used without any relief, my friends
immediately consulted yon to ascertain your mode
of treatment. Attheirreoaest 1 consented to d!m
myself under yonr care, though without any hope of
oeneui irora sucn means, since ine regular oourse of
treatment had failed to effect anything for me.
The result exoeeded the expectations of the most
sanguine. After one treatment 1 waa able to take
my meals with the frmily, sleep well at night, and
ride and walk daily.
From that time, by elosHy and perse verlngly fol
lowing your directions, my recovery has been so rap
id and constant as te astonish every one who knew
my condition. It is with the greatest pleasure that
1 take this means of recommending te the sick and
suffering everywhere the same means which hare
proven so bcnenciai te ma, and would specially urge
nil njffiictfd sts was to secure your services without
delay.
