BBOOKFIELD.
JUST A GENTLE BINT.
The question is being freely asked at
this time, Where are the selectmen? Are
they hibernating? If so, wont this thaw
bring ' them out. Those of our people
who have to go to the Junction from the
lower part of the town ask why the road
leading from the school house In Whisco
nler to the Junction has been blockaded
now for 13 days without any effort
on the part of the town authorities to
open it to travel. The people in this part
of the town have their road tax to pay
and why cannot their roads receive prop
er attention. Let the authorities turn
over and sleep on the other side, dream a
little, rub their eyes, get them wide open,
shake themselves and go to work.
Mrs Horace Beers is quite indisposed
from the effects of a severe cold
The measleB still have full sway in

The first of the week closed the holi
day vacations for our out of town .schol
ar?, who returned on Monday and Tues
day and everything in the social line has
relapsed into the ordinary every day rou
tine. Not in a great many years has
there been so large a percentage of our
young people away at boarding schools.
A. S. Mansfield has bought Charles
Pinckney's windmill, which he is having
set up on his stock barn for cutting feed,
etc.
The few who harvested their ice, last
week, are congratulating themselves on
their good luck, as the first crop of ice is
usually the best. Every thaw and rain
washes on more or less mud and other
undesirable material.
The New Year's party at Mrs Weld's
was In every respect a very pleasant af
fair, about 75 being present. The chief
entertainment was dancing, and as the
music was good, with every facility for
dancing that could be desired, the enjoy
ment of all present was assured.
The January thaw, always to be ex
pected and right up to time, has come
and gone ; now, perhap?, we shall settle
d jwn to some regulation winter weather
and good traveling. It may be too strong
a temptation for resistance, the concert
given by the. New York Male Quartet
Company in the Town hall of Newtown,
next Monday evening, Januaryll, at 8
o'clock. This is a regular number of the
winter course there, and the company is
spoken of as being unexcelled by . any

A PREACHER'S EXPERIENCE.
"Three months ago, I took a vio
lent cold which resulted in an attack
of acute bronchitis. I put myself
under medical treatment, and at tv.e
end of two months was no better.
I found it very difficult to preach,
and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle rave me
great relief ; the second, which I am
now taking, lias relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms,
and I feel sure that one or two bot
tles more will effect a permanent
cure. To all ministers suffering from
throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Brawley,
