A POl'ULAR REMEDY.
The promptness and certaiuty of its
cure have made Chamberlain's Cough
lieuiedy fatuous. It is intended espec
ially for cough?, colds, croup and
whooping eougb, and is the most effect
ual rentf-dy known for these diseases.
C. B. Main of Union City, Pa., says: "I

A DAIRYMAN'S OPINION.
There is nothing I have ever used for
muscular rheumatism that gives me as
much relief as Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does. I have been using it for about
two years four bottles in all as occa
sion required, and always keep a bottle
of it in ray home. I believe 1 know a
good thing when J get hold of it, and
Pain Halm is the best liniment I have
ever met with. W. B. Dennv. dairvman.

A LAKE GEOEGE CITIZEN IN DANBUET.
I. 11. Smith and daughter, Miss Mamie,
of Lake George district, drove to Dan
bury, last Saturday morning. Their
horse, usually a docile animal, was
hitched under the shed in the rear of the
Baptist church. Mr Smith hitched him.
as he thought, strong and fast. But in
some way he became untied and dashed
up the main street of Dunbury at a furi
ous pace. The top of the carriage was
lett in front of the City hall, as a special
mark of respect for Mayor Andrews. At
the corner of West street the horse fell
and wa caught. The animal was slight
ly cut by coming in contact with a hy
drant and the carriage wa3 wrecked.
Tw ) children who were crossing the
street near the City hall narrowly escap
ed bi?ing run over. Mr Smith, who was
bu-y making purchases, came on to the
scene of action in time to gather up the
f ragruents. The horse was not so serious
ly injured but that he could be driven
h-m . Mr Sin th had no idea in the
umrumg of the notoriety he would at
tain before night, for the Danbury news
papers, (always hungering and thirsting
for a sensation). gave full particulars, and
o he was saved the trouble of giving the
details to his many Hawleyville friends.
Thwre la no doubt but that tome rascal
unhitched the horse, and so a runaway
resulted
BUILDING aND LOAN SOCIETIES.
The annual report of Commissioner of
Labor Carroll D. Wright, relating to
building and loan associations, says that
the States of New York, New Jersey,
Ohio, Illinois, and some other States, re
quire such associations to make annual
returns in the same manner as savings
banks. While building and loan associ
ations had their birth from 1840 to 1850,
the report shows that the average age of
all associations is only a little over six
years. The total number of building as
sociations in the United States ia 5838.
Hampshire 17. There are no returns
from Vermont. The net assets ot the
building societies all over the country
exceed four hundred and Arty million
dollars. Their profits are estimated at
eighty million dollars, and it is claimed
they have helped to build over 400,000
houses.
A MEMORABLE SEEVICE.
The praise service, last Sunday even
lug at the Congregational, was one which
will long be remembered by all who had
the privilege of being present. t form
ed a fitting close to the day, whose ser
vices were all marked by earnest partici
pation aud keen spiritual enjoyment.
The lilacs, roses and other flowers which
were massed in profusion about the plat
form and pulpit still remained from the
morning') service, and added no small
part to the beauty of the scene. The
beautiful new VQcalion organ, In position
now for the first Sunday and handled by
one who proved himself a thorough mas
ter of its sweet tones and harmonies, was
the admiration of all eyes. Gustave
Bolze of New Haven, who held the place
at the organ and who generously gave
his services for . the day, deserves the
hearty thanks of his audienqe ; it is sel
dom indeed that Newtown people are fa
vored with music of such an order. The
grand masters, who wrote the sacred or
atorios, were certainly men of genius,
even more, they were men touched with
a spark of heavenly fire, that by their
compositions they might faintly Raggest
to 11s what the swelling music of Heaven
shall be. After one has heard Handel's
Messiah, he feels ready to say
The mosio In my heart I bore
low? atter It was heard no more.
Among the selections pl yed were
Beethoven's "Andante in E major," "The
Pastorale" from Handel's "Messiah" and
an improvisation of 'Nearer my God to
Thee." The last was especially flne its
grand full tones holding all In rapt en-
j riy menr. The pastor of the church; Rev
uus vv , iiarKer, aoring trie service rela
ted some touching incidents connected
with some of our best loved hymns and

told how they came to be written! These
thoughts put the old hvmns in anew
light and doubtless led the audience to
sing them with unwonted zest and feel
ing. "Just as I am, without one plea'
was written by Miss Charlotte Elliott in
1STZ. An eminent clergyman from Ge
neva, Dr Malan, was visiting atherfath
er's home in the West End cf London
One evening he asked her if she were a
Christian. The young lady replied that
religion was a suDiect she did not wish to
discuss. The matter was not again refer-
rea to tnat evening, but the next morn
ing Miss Charlotte apologized for her ab
ruptness and said that she wanted to be
a Christian, but did not know how to find
Christ. "Come to Him iust as you are.
answered the minister, little thinking
tnat 111s reply would be repeated hi song
by the whole Christian world. His an
swer solved Miss Elliott's problem and
led her to a life of trust. She had liter
ary tastes and became editor of a maga
zine, to -which she contributed several
hymns anonymously, among tbem "Just
as 1 am, without one plea. A philan
thropic lady, at once recognizing its
beauty and value, had it printed in leaf
let form and distributed through the
Kingdom, it soon became very popular.
and all the Christian world is singing it
10-aay.
Connected with the familiar hymn,
"Jesus, I my cross have taken," there is
this inspiring incident. When Gen Sher
man was mustering hi troops for his fa
mous march to the sea, the Christian
Commission held religious services
among the men which resulted in many
remarkable conversions. On one occa
sion 400 converts sat down to a commun
ion service. Impressively was sung this
hymn, "Jesus, 1 my cross have taken,"
and how they sang it, those gallant boys
in blue. Commissary bread, currant
wine, tin plates and tin cups were the ac
companiments of the feast ; hut such did
not keep the Master from His table, nor
hinder the baptism of the Spirit upon
these men, whom God was preparing for
the fearful baptism in battle of blood
and of fire.
"There is a fountain filled with blood."
The poet Montgomery severely criticised
this hvmn of William Cowper, saying
that a fountain springs up, it is not filled.
Montgomery ended by entirely re-writing
the hymn, expecting that the Christ
ian world would at once adopt his ver
sion. But the church has decided
against Montgomery, while Cowper's
hymn has steadily advanced in favorand
will not cease to be sung
Till all the ransomed chnrch of God
Be saved to sin no more.
During the evening the choir sang two
very appropriate and beautiful selections
of praise, which were thoroughly in
keeping with the rest of the service. It
was a day long to be remembered in the
history of the church, and large congre
gations were present, both morning and
evening.

HOW EOESES BEST.
Horses can rest standing, provided the
position be reasonably easy, but not ful
ly rest except recumbent. It is known
of some horses that they never lie down
in the stall, though if kept in pasture
they take their rest habitually in a re
cumbent position. It is well to consider

whether the habit has not been forced
upon the horse by some circumstances
connected with the stall he was made to
occupy, in that it had a. muddy earth
floor, or one made of dilapidated plank,
uncomfortable and offensive to the horse
that had been accustomed to select his
own bed in the pasture. If the horse can
have the privilege of selecting bis own
position for resting on his feet he can
sleep standing; but while his muscles
may be to a certain degree relaxed and
get rest in that position, what can be said
of the bearings at the joints? Without re
lief through the recumbent position the
lomt surfaces are forced continuously to
bear a weight varying from 1000 to 1SO0
pounds. This must act unfavorably, es
pecially upon the complicated structures
within the hoofs, which nature intended
should have periods of rest each day.

COUGH 13 A H0ESE.
A gelding, six years old, has had a
cough at times since he was a colt:
dam who was at least 20 years old
when he was foaled had a cough, but
it did not seem to affect her spirits or
working power. For the last three
months cough has become much worse.
A month ago we gave hiui for seven
nights in succession boiled oats, with
linseed meal and molasses and ginger
mixed with them, which relieved cough
very much, but being exposed to a heavy
rain storm soon after, the cough came
