NEWTOWN, FRIDAY, JAN. 8- CIRCULATION: Janiury 1, 18S2. 610 Last Week. 8100 In Litchfield. County BETHLEHEM. THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF BETHLEHEM GRANGE. The following paper was read at thp anniversary meeting of Bethlehem Grange, Monday night, by Amos C. Lake, who for four years has been the efficient treasurer. Six years ago 35 of the inhab itants of this town met together and formed the Bethlehem Orange, making an obligation implied and understood, to be just and true to each other and labor for the best Interests, improve our moral and Boeial condition, benefit our finan cial interests and to labor for tbe com mon good of all. It is well for the mem ories of the past to be like a pun dial, only marking the hours that shine. Tbe six years of the life of Bethlehem Grange have not passed by without bright and pleasant events, and the accomplishment of some good. The development of the ability of Its members to express their views in public has been one of the good things accomplished. One fact that came to my notice illustrated that point. At a social gathering In our town some time since there was present from out of town a person, a native and for some time a resident of this town. Several of our patrons responded to tbe call from the toastmaster of the evening In a very pleasant manner. This person remarked co me that they did not know as we had so many men that could speak so well. I replied that it was the Orange that had brought out their ability. We have be come better acquainted with our fellow townspeople, and by gathering in Po mona meetings have had an opportunity to meet people in adjoining towns. This has given us a chance to rub againsteacb other and wear off the rough corners of our make.up, gathering Ideas, increasing the activity of our mental powers and ad vancing with the rest of the world in thi progressive age. Socially our Orange has been a success. We have been enter tained by our neighboring Granges, and in turn have entertained them. Financi' ally we have made some progress. Bu our greatest benefit in that direction has been probably derived from our trade cards. This may be due to the fact that a large number of our members go to Waterbury for a market and naturally will do a large amount of their trading there, although there is no question in my mind but that we have reduced the merchants profits In more than one case. There are many ways we might buy to getner and make a good saving if we would, and I hope we may grap the op portunity in the near future to do so. It is with a feeling of sadness and regret that I look about tbls hall and see tbe va cant chairs and miss the presence of so many of our absent friends, once mem oers woo Dave withdrawn irom our Orange, many of them active and useful brothers and tisters. If each member who has withdrawn from us was obliged to write on the back of their chair the cause of their withdrawal, .what would we find written on several of them? will leave that for each of you to imag ine. But 1 fear It would not bring pleas ant recollections to our mind. Tbe time has come for us to seek a remedy for all this. Let us arise in our might, good and true brothers and sisters, put aside all hatred and malice In our minds and have only one thought in our minds, the good and true welfare of our Grange' We have enough of the right kind of blood left In us yet to sustain and maintain the Orange. Let us arise in our might and a bright future Is before us. Warren Taylor has sold his oxen, an extra good pair, to Ackerman Judson.

A QUIET NEW YEAR'S TIME The New Year was ushered in here with all the quietness of a Sunday Hardly a call was made among neigh bors. But few greetings were heard in the street. The place of business here kept open but customers seemed to be by no means plenty. Oa account of the mild temperature of that day, the skat ing on the lake was poor and sleighing on the highways out of the question. Altogether New Year's day seemed very dull and monotonus. A dancing party was enjoyed at W. C. Beeman's spacious barn on Wednesday evening of last week, participated in by old and young. W. C. Beeman was among the last .to give up sleigh riding here, last week.

' A Symptom of Something; Far Tore S.rl- ons Mrs. Harris, of Beaver Springs, He. lates Her Experience. The spasm at top ot wind-pipe, or in brocshial tubes, tht " ball rising in ths throat, " violent beating of the heartj laughing and crying by turns; mu cular spasms; throw ing the arms about, etc, tell of a derangement of the female sys tern. Any female complaint may produce hys terica, which. must be re- yarded as a. Symptom only. The eauso, what ever it may bo yields quickly toLydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Com pound. It acts at.once upon tbe organ affected, and the nerve centers; re moves tbe causa, and dispels effectually tbe symptoms. Mrs. Barris relates Her experience for tbe benefit of others. "I had been sick with ulceration of the womb, causing all kinds of dis agreeable experiences, Such as irrita bility, sleeplessness, faintness, and at times hysterics. My physician said it was the worst case he ever had. My back ached, leucorrhoea very profuse, and I had a severe bearing-down pain. The physicians thought I should never recover, and as the iast remedy, they procured your Vegetable Compound. I had not taken mora than one-fourth of a bottle, before I was more com fortable. I eon tinned its use, also the Sanative Wash, and Liver Pills. - After ' using four bottles, I was able to be oat, and do almost all my work. 1 tnink tbe Vegetable Compound -is the only medicine that will cure female complaints, and it will rea&h the worst eases in a very short time. I know 14 saved my life. "-JifjM. JC Bask. Beaver Falls, Pennsyf vania, ' AVi drag' fiats. - j i 6 v-7 V i 1 1 MM I Y Ministers Should Use Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. THERE IS NO PROFESSION, whose laborssoseverely taxthenervoussys tem, as that of the ministry. The de rangement of the nerve centers of the brain by over work, frequently brings on attacks of heart trouble, and nervous prostration. . Eev. J. P. Kester, M. D., Pastor TJ. B. church, London Mills, Ills., himself a physi cian, writes Feb. 26, 1895: "Heart affection and nervous prostration had become so serious last fall that a little over work in thepulpit would so completely prostrate me TV. lVTilfc' that It seemed certain I Ul . lUlIfcS must relinquish tne worfc Hedrt Clire of the ministry entirely. Heart palpitation became ReStOreS so bad that my auditors tloolh would ask me if I did not I1C111I1...... have heart disease. Last November I commenced taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure alternately with Dr. Miles' Nervine and derived the greatest possible benefit. I have just closed revival work of 10 weeks, preaching nearly every night and twice on the Sabbath. I can speak for hours without suffering as I formerly did. Hard working ministers should keep Dr. Miles' grand remedies on hand." Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is sold on guarantee, first bottle will benefit or money refunded. considering the advisability of severing his relation? on April 1, with the Elm Shade Mills in this village. We truly hope a satisfactory arrange Dents may be i meted between bim and tne owner of the property before that date so that he may be satisfied to remain. Master Ned Lyman reached home, last Saturday evening, from a 10 days' stay in New Haven. William Warner of Lanesville is con fined at E. J. Cable's home with measles. Twin girls were born at Remus Cogs well's on Wednesday morning of last week. WAEEH. THOUGHTS ON THE PASSING TEAR. The change from 1896 to 1897 was not discernable, and only to-be known by consulting the almanc. It hardly seems possible that we have approached so near the end of the century as 1S97. The year will be what we make it personally We are the architects of our own for tune. We build our own characters and are the arbiters of our own destiny. It has been wisely said that ' 'He builds too lw who builds bensath the skies." It the reason is asked, the answer plainly is that the building we rear we shall oc cupy forever. '"If we sow to the flesh, we sh ill reap corruption, but if we sow to the spirit we shall reap life everlast ing." The difference 13 wide; the condi tion is manifest. Ia the hardware busi ness there is a lock called "The Janus Io2k," which means "face both ways That is, the same lock could be adjusted to doors intended to shut either to the right or to the left. January, tbe opening month of tbe year is named from the god Janu3, who had two faces. Now to make the most of the year to come it will be useful to look backward, to make or take survey of the old year, what it has done for us, what of unfinished plans and pur poses, which may have been arrested from circumstances untorseen. This will furnish U3 with a kind of momen tum, a start that will carry us further on our Journey. Everything is in the dark. The book which lies before us is sealed with seven seals. There is no One in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth able to open the book, neither to look thereon. These closing words seem to startle ns like a clap of thunder at noonday with a clear sky. What is meant? "Neither to look thereon?" Can it be that a brightness is reflected from it above the brightness of the sun, such as persecuting Saul encountered on the way to Damascus? Perhaps so. He way using time as if all belonged to him. He was mad against the infant : church. He expected to have his own way, but a moment of time came which entirely changed his plans. There was a light from Heaven that suddenly shone around him. Somebody was opening that won derful book. It was tbe lion of the tribe of Judah. With this dark black cloud before us and sealed, in so far as we are personally concerned, we need to focal ize all tbe light of the pas' upon the pres ent hour, and ask ourselves how we shall nse it? Our times are not in onr hands, but in His, who is able to unseal and open this wonderful book of Provi dence. 1 While it is so, yelr the year,, so long as it is ours in time, ' will be what we make it. We must have a high ideal and only the highest is worthy1' of ns. To multitudes 1896 was the last, so to multitudes 1897 will be the last. If it shall so prove to be to us, what will be the end? Look to the end, provide for it and all will be well. A nobleman once kept a fool and one diy gave him a staff to keep until be should meet a greater fool than himself. - Some years after the nobleman was taken sick, even unto death. Tbe tool went to see his master, who said to him, "I must shortly leave." V Where are you going?" said tbe fool. "Into another world." "When will you return,' within a month ?" "No, oev- er." "What provisions have you made tor entertainment there?" "None at all, for with all my folly, I am not guilty of such folly as this." CHURCH INTERESTS.
