Charles E. liuzzell, of Lako port, X. II., Department Commander of New Hampshire G. A. K., has something of interest to say to the people in regard to the remarkable curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nei -vura blood and nervo remedy. Few men are more widely known than Gen. Buzzell. who is Street C'ommmisioner of Lakeport, and the must prominent builder and contractor in tho State. Tho General says: "I was terribly run down in health and as a result of over-work, became nervous, weak, tired and without my old-time energy and ambition. I to use It because I know it will make them well. " Gen. Rir-pH'K i'Hi iv:is like tboiiH- I amis of others. People from overwork, strain upon brain and nervo or other cause, break down in health, feel that they are phy sically weak and that their nervo strength, energy and power are greatly diminished. Just so sure as night follows day will prostration andilebili ty, the wreck of nerves, brain and body, follow if a cure is not immedi ately sought. Neglect is the fatal thing. Never allow the first symptoms the tired grew so fearfully nervous that I could ! feeling, the weakened nrrves, the los not rest nor sleep nights, but would ! of power of endurance, the lack of be obliged to get up and walk about several times each night. I would get tired and nervous so easily that it be came almost impossiblo for mo to at tend to my business. Attucsamo time I had most severe and distressing backache. "I took Dr. Greene's Xervura blood and nervo remedy and it helped me right away. My nerves were so strengthened and invigorated that the nervousness left me, and I could again sleep soundly nights, and wake morn ings refreshed and feeling strong and vigorous. Tho backache is completely cured. I am now perfectly well and better able than ever to attend to my business. I have recommended this wonderful remedy to several others and it has cured theiii all. I urge people snap and energy to ilrilt you into total loss of health. Take Dr. Greene's Xervura blood and nerve remedy now and it will cure you as it cured Gen. Buzzell, as it has cured thousands upon thousands of others. It is the great curer of disease, the great strengthener of nerves, the great builder up of Idood. the great invig orator of brain and body. It will make you weli. Do not class this most valuable remedy with patent medicines. It is a physician's prescription, and its dis coverer. Dr. Greene, of 31 Temple Place, Boston, Mass., has the largest and most successful practice in the world in nervous and chronic dis eases, and can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter.

'mere wero about U0 voters, seven of whom lived ubout old Fort Dummer, anil from there to William King's, where Iiorenzo Thayer's farm is; 10 lived uorlh of West river; and the rest north west of Anus's. There was a grist mill and a saw mill ou Whetstone brook at the bridge, Ht which uo one lived, and no one lived between Cemetery hill and Mr. Anus's. John Arms was the moderator, Dr. 1 lenry Wells was made clerk, Samuel Wells supervisor. They had no selectmen. Other otllcers required by the laws of tho province of Now York wero chosen, and thus the organization was accomplished. A church had been bngtiu, of which most of tho voters had beconio mem bers; and in that same season they built a house for town mid religous meetings. When the township was surveyed six acres were reserved out of the lot on top of tho hill north of Centreville for public purposes; and tho house was set on that reservation. No road led to tho place, all was forest about it, but little Elizabeth Wells had been buried there three years before. Tho houso was built just south of the west part of the cemetery in what is now the open field. It was framed; was longest east and west, and fronted south. A road was built to it from I the north at that time coming up on I the west side of the cemetery ; one was j built from the east, coming to it across ( the common; onn was built from the south, coming to it on the west side of I the common ; and one from the west ! coininir .ilireetlv to it from the north west corner of the common, Benjamin Butterfield, Jr ,a carpenter, builthim self a house in tho corner between the north and west roads, and took a license as retailer ; A oner hcovel, a farmer, built a houso between the south and west roads ; 1 r. Henry Wells, tho only physician then, lived where Mr. Capon docs: and tho min ister. Abner Reeve, just east of where Mr. Brown now lives, on tho road coming from the east. William Me Cune, a farmer, lived where the build ings have lately been burnt.and Oliver Conk the blacksmith, beyond him on the road coming from the north. Here in this house town and religious meetings were held, and this was the middle of the town till 17HC. In the year that the meeting-house was built William Harris cauie anil settled where now is the southwest corner opposite Mrs. Bigelow's: in 177:! William Ellas where the seminary is, and Lieut. Root Where Mr. Thurbor lives; in 177i Malachi Church built mills on tho brook, and ('apt. John Houghton came and lived in front of where Clark's block is, and in 177S Rutherford Hayes came and settled where Mrs. Bigelow lives and others came and lived in that part of the valley. la 17S,"i the road, now the old road from Marlboro, wat built down through to here. Through West Brat tlcboro it did not come where it now does, but went straight out to where the seminary buildings are and then straight down to tho brook. The support of tho gospel then, by law, rested upon the towns, and the meet-iug-houses for both religious and town meetings wero to bo provided for by the towns. This town voted tu build a new meeting-house, and to set on! this road east of Capt. Houghton's. It was built there, ISO by 48, two stories high, and the north side was just about in the horse path of the present traveled track opposite the present meeting house. The front door was on the south side with another entrance at each end, and a belfry with a steeple was finally built at the west end. Pews were sold to raise money to finish it. Here the town and religious meetings wero held till lSI7.when the house was moved to where tho present one is. The town had then been relieved by law from supporting the gospel, but it still owned the meeting-house subject to the rights of tho pew-holders.

The committee . and the contractor. Joel Bollard, had done their work well : all are gono now but .Mr. Goodhuo; but still there was opposition Finally, after much debate, tho committee wero authorized to borrow ifSoOO for finish ing and furnishing the house and it was completed. When dono it was an appropriate and handsome structure, admired by outsiders, and a source of prido for the town. For 10 yearsjt stood without alteration, repair or sign of decay on the outside, and but little alteration within. Its use during these 10 years was not confined to municipal purposes; but stato conventions, grand concerts and theatrical shows were held in the -n;.: hall; and the coanty clerk's uliicv. lawyer's oliices, book stores and the post ollice were at times kept below. Whatever uso it was put to it stood well. I was asked to speak onlv of what has become historic, which ends with this town hall as it was.

Although Mr. Moody has been ablo to touch the hearts of many a rich mau and has received thousands of dollars which ho has applied to bis schools and other work, lie is not per sonally thought to be worth over 810,000. He gives the royalty which ho receives from tho sale of the hymn books to the schools. This amounts to about 120,000 annually. The ex penses of running to two schools with 000 pupils in attendance amount to 81:20,000, &XI,000 more than is received for tuition. This leaves &!0,000 to be received trom other sources beside tho tuition ami hymn book royalty, and Mr. Moody depends upon the friends of tho work to see to it that it is forth coming. It was a surprise to many this week to know that the Moody family were in such humble circum stances after the death of the father. There were days when the outlook was dubious indeed.' Mrs. Moody's forti tude and courageous spirit kept up hope, and her later years were crowned with the rest and peace which they deserved. Mr. Moody's recollections of the whippings which she gave him when a mischievous lad were interest ing, as was his recaliug tho vigor of the rules which governed the family observance of the Sabbath. Widow Moody's home was n favorite resort for the young women attending the sem inary am! people from homo and abroad at the summer conferences re member the kind-faced old woman. She kept n register where her friends could leave their names and the pages bear tho names of many prominent people. She will bo missed by many who visit Xorthfield the coming sum mer.
