The number of Easter cards sent through
the mails this year has been much larger than

They. seem to have taken to some extent the
place of Christmas cards and valentines, in
which there has been a considerable falling

sent through‘the post office are in book form,
with illustrations by well-known designers.
The poems “Abide with Me” and “Home,

The correspondent of the Bridgeport
Stand/mi recently sought to show that the
dwelling near “Shercrow” school house into
which Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Staples have
moved, and which we had said intbe GA-
zsrrn was the oldest building in town having-
been erected about the year 1732, is incorrect
and that the “Aunt Milley” place, near
Capt. Joe Nash’s and owned by Rev. James
E. Coley, is far the oldest. His 'report is
based one more guess, without facts to
support it, and while we have no desire to
hurt the correspondent, it becomes our
painful duty as a sort of Samson in annihila-
ting his Philistine statement to employ an
aged tree as a jawbone. The elm in front of
the aforesaid dwelling is more than one hun-
dred and twenty-five years old, the writer’s
great grandfather, Daniel Nash, father ,of
the late Uncle Daniel Nash having brought
it on his shoulder from Stony Brook about
the year 1760 and set it there. He died in
1824, aged 44 years, and is known to have
said during his life time that the house in
which he then lived was the most. ancient in

riate as commemorating the anniversary of a
risen Saviour was performed. Earnest
worshippers were in every congregation, and
the lessons the great days coming and going
taught were not wholly lost. Turning from
the religious to the secplar side, ladies ele-
gant bonnets, despite the chance to follow,
appeared with bright trimmings to greet the

Mr. Joseph'G. Hyatt, the accomplished
teacher of the West Saugatuok school, who
has often been complimented in this colu um

too last week. as having turned a scholar
out of school. Mr. Hyatt, after reading the
item departed from his style of elegant and
choice grammatical language by proclaiming
in aloud, defiant voice, "The whole thing is
a lie,” adding that the writer of the item,
might get his head broke, etc., but when
asked if he did tell the boy, as we had said,
“take your books and go home," he replied,
‘.‘No," but I said, “take your hat and go."

nature and effects -of Catarrh. It is one of
the most loathsome maladies, and has been
pronounced incurable. Eiy’s Cream Balm
may be described as a gigantic tidal wave
which has submerged that theory. This

"I had catarrh for fifteen years," said 0. Z.
Warren, Rutland, Vt., "with distressing
pains over my eyes, gradually'the disease
worked down upon my lungs. Ely's Cream
Balm cured me." All who use it speak in
the same grateful strain. 2t12
