John Benedict, who now lives at 21
River street, tells us of his vivid re-
membrance of the terrible September
gale that swept over the country Just 70
years ago. He had been to "‘ training”
at New Canaan, the first Monday of
September, 1821, and on his way home
that afternoon was overtaken by
the devastating hurricane of wind
and rain. He passed the night
at the old Deacon Seth Hick-
ock house, and on going home in the
morning his path through the woods
was strewn with broken limbs and trees,
and all the valley up to Grupe’s was
flooded. The swollen stream carried
away all the bridges and dams between
Grupe’s and Norwalk Bridge, and the
disasters on the water were heart-renu-
ng. He was then nine years old, but
ays he will never forg et the terrors of
hat night.

How Often.
We see some young man who has
squandered his money and ruined his
health by excesses, and before 30 years
of age is an all broken down and played
out man! In such cases I prescribe
nature’s tonic and nervine, Sulphur
Bitters. ° The supply food for the
brain, strengt en the nerves, and are
successful in nine cases out of ten.—
Old Physician.

Something that will quiet the nerves,
giVe strength to the body, induce re-
freshing sleep, improve t 9 quality of
the blood, and purify and brighten the
complexion, is what many persons
would be very glad to obtain. Carter’s
Iron Pills are made for exactly this class
of troubles, and are remarkably suc-
cessful in accomplishing the ends de-
sired, as namedabove. They are useful
for both men and women. Price 50
cents a box.
If sick headache is misery, what. are
Carter’s Little Liver Pills if they will
positively cure it ? People who have
used them speak frankly of their worth.
They are small and easy to take.
