Eureka Medicine Co., Gents: — ’ Tis with pleas ure I write to let you know what Eureka has done for me, and I deem it my duty to your medicine and the public. I have suffered for over 30 years with kidney difficulty I suffered severe pain in my back and could not lay on my right side in bed, my right limb pained me a great deal and the joints were badly swollen; had to get up several times during every night to urinate which had a deep sediment to it of brick color tinge. A friend persuaded me to Eureka, which I did with the following success. Before I had taken all the first bottle the pain had all left my back and the swelling had all disappeared from myHimb.and I could go to try bed and sleep all night without having to gel up, and before I had taken but very little of the second bottle 1 could lay ou either side in bed; was entirely free from pain and to-day am very happy to say I consider myself cured of the trouble I have so long suffered. I recom mend it to all ladies suffering with like com plaint, as physieiaraf^vith which I have doctored told me my ease had become chronic and in curable. Bespectfully, M rs . J ohn I. C lapper .

The Philomathean and Beta societies met at Edward Smith ’ s according to appoint ment, to debate the question of labor unions. Dr. Ira M. Garrison acted as chairman. Mr.- C. Van Salisbury, Mr. Finch and Mr. D. Barringer were accepted as judges. After a debate of four hours the matter was submitted to the judges, a majority of whom gave the Beta society credit of having the better argument. Mr. Van Salisbury, however, submitted a minority report, and it was understood afterwards that one of the judges who de cided affirmatively wished to change his decision, hut it was too late. Mr. Charles Winne gave the oration and Mr. Jesse Brockway gave the argument for the Betas. Mr. H. W. Bertbolf very creditably closed the argument for the Philomatheans. The Doctor-makes a good presiding officer. There is a feeling among the Philomatheans that the third judge had made up his mind before he had heard the arguments. -SCHODACK DEPOT. ; STREET, CHATHAM. Miss Minnie Graves is visiting friends in Philmont. Mias Almeda Warner is being entertained by friends in Albany.' Dr. Brooks, of Providence, was a guest at M. Warner ’ s, Easter week. Miss Jennie Rector, of East Albany, made her parents a short visit last week. There was a meeting of the farmers at the house of William Westfall oh Satur day, for the purpose of taking some definite action on the creamery question. The Beta Literary society accepted the challenge given by the Philomathean society of Nassau for a joint debate, which was held at Mr. Edward Smith ’ s, South Schodack, last Wednesday. The subject debated was: “ Resolved, That all labor unions should he discontinued, and that more evil results from them than good. ” The Beta society took the affirmative and the Philomathean the negative side of the question. The judges chosen hy the socie ties were Messrs. S. Finch, D. Barringer and 0. Van Salisbury. The leaders of the Philomathean society brought with them nearly all the arguments advanced by Powderly, but these were easily refuted by the leaders of the Beta, who presented much stronger and superior arguments which made their opponents waver and finally give up in despair. The judges in about five minutes gave their decision in favor of Beta society. It is thought that the Philomathean society will never chal lenge their superiors again. SOUTH SCHODACK. SOUTH BERLIN.

Miss Maggie Stover returned from a visit to her home and resumed her school yes terday. Herbert Jones has been dangerously sick with inflammation of the bowels, but is said to be recovering. Ned Cranstop met with an accident last Monday morning that was generally thought would prove fatal. He left his team standing for a little while in front of S. Derby ’ s blacksmith shop while he stepped inside, leaving the reins in the hands of his boy. The horses becoming frightened started to riin. Cranston sprang out and caught one animal by the head, and in an instant was hurled with tremend ous force, face foremost, against a tree. One of the wheels smashed his face in a terrible manner, leaving some of his teeth by the tree. He then rolled into the river and was taken out insensible. Dr. Sands was sent for and was soon on hand and found the front part of his jaw badly broken. A telegram was sent to Mr. Cran ston ’ s relatives requesting them to bring a surgeon from New York.

Miss Mamie Ready, of Schodack Depot, has been spending a week with her sister, Mrs. Currie. .Leap year has struck this place the wrong way. The young men still pay for the suppers.

Path- masters are too busy repairing fences to fix roads. The present condition of things should be remembered ’ at the time of the next town meeting. WEST STEPHENTOWN.

Y., have been spending a few days here with Mrs. Miller ’ s mother, Mrs. Harriet Best. Mrs. Miller will ex tend her visit indefinitely. From present appearances there bids, fair to be quite a lively time in town over some stolen property. The time has come for action. The villagers are no longer caring fpr the reputation of law-breakers or fearful of consequence?. . L. O. Mansfield, *our enterprising : land lord, bas been taking an extended tour through the west, visiting Kansas City, Omaha, St.- Louis and other large and im portant cities in his jaunt through the country.

They dag up some wild parsnip by mistake and after eating it manifested symptoms of poison ing. Medical aid was fortunately at hand; and their lives were saved. It was. a close call, however. AMMONIATED BREAD. Ammoniated baking powders — that is, baking powders in which carbonate of am monia is used as an ingredient, and which: exhale an odor of ammonia when ’ heated- are classed by eminent physicians and sani tarians as superior to all others. Professor Hassell of London, who is recognized as ; highest authority on the subject of food hygiene, commends in the strongest terms the use of carbonate of ammonia as a leaven ing agent, stating its great advantage tp be ■ in its periect volatility, whieb permits it to be, by tbe beat of baking, entirely tbrownu into leavening .gas whereby, tbe bread is ; raised. The experiment with beat would ; seem to indicate the superior, hot ttie in- ferior, value of.sucb baking powder. The little heat tbatls imparted to it when held over a gas jet, ’ lamp, or stove, suffices to resolve the carbonatoof ammonia into leav ening gas and throw it off. The first beat of baking, tberefore, Brill effectually de- . velop all the gas, thoroughly leaven the .loaf and dissipate the. gas .producing ingre dients of a powder of this kind; and this is. the highest test of a; perfect, baking pow der. Where other alkalies alone .are uSed they are not infrequently retained, unre solved, through the whole process ^of baking, and remairi an unwholesome in gredient m the finished bread. The car bonate of ammonia cannot be used as a sub stitute for cream of tartar . — York 'Weekly Tribune. ■ ■ /■:lf ■ -im ^18 I j! '=$; mi - 7 ‘ ,-Spg ,|ig!gi V >3
