Tbe R. C.

The building was lighted by the Consolidated Lighting company the past year, free of ail expense to the hospital, and when their year expired it was stated that Mr. Viles would do likewise.

He, however, refused to do the lighting on those terms, the result being that bids were called for. There are those who are of the opinion mat me trustees, unner tue circ*mstances, should not bave asked for bids. The lawn party given last Friday evening Dy ine uuptist ana uetiiany unrisuan endeavor societies on Bethany-lawn was a success from every point of view.

This amounts to an assessment of 50 cents on a dollar of tbe stock, 32,700 of which is held Montpelier and vicinity, and thestockhold ers are given until September 13 to pay the assessment. Atter the conference with Mr.

Manley the general impression was that the assessment will be paid.

I was obliged to keep her hands tied at night and it was necessary to watch her during the day. She would scratch her-selt whenever she had the chance, until her clothes would be covered with blood. We concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, because 1 had great faith in it, and after awhile, we could see that she was getting better. People often asked 'How did that child burn her and they said she would certainly be left with scars, but she was not.
