Phillips Brooks' election at Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts has been ratified by a majority of the diocesan standing committees of the American church. As these committees are generally composed of several of the'foremost repre- sentee clergyman and layman of a diocese the result is an expression of the confidence, esteem and admiration with which Dr. Brooks is regarded by his church at large. It is also a gratifying evidence that that church does not wish to lightly overrule the republican tendencies of its constitu- tion, or to underrate the importance of studying and profiting by the success of this great pulpit orator in touching the heart of the people, and planting there seeds of truth which spring up and bear the fruit of nobler lives. But one more step remains to complete the title of Bishop elect Brooks to the cer- emony of consecration. A majority of the bishops must give their consent. It is in- conceivable that these venerable gentleman should disregard the voice of their church and repudiate a fellow clergyman of stain- less character, commanding intellect, and gifts of grand usefulness, for any reason short of an objection of vital importance. The infamous anonymous attacks on his fidelity to the doctrinal standards of his church have fallen flat; flattest with those who know him best. The one remaining argument, that is not denied because Dr. Brooks has not been in the habit of con- cealing his opinions, is that he does not hold the high church view of apostolical succession. The bishops, however,have already gone irrevocably on record as not insisting upon this interpretation of this doctrine as of vital importance. They distinctly waived it in formulating their basis of church union with other evangelical Protestant denominations, for they asked them to accept only what is known as the doctrine of the "historic episcopate." This is what is so often referred to as the "fourth con- dition of the bishops," the other three conditions involving matters as to which the denominations are already practically at one. The unanimous ratification of Phillips Brooks' election to be one of their number would be the most convincing proof that the Episcopal House of Bishops could give to the other churches and to the world,as to the sincerity of their desire to unite all Christian organizations into one great universal church. Such an op- portunity is not likely to come again in thisgeneration,forthere is only one Phillips Brooks.—Ex. NEWSY SHERMAN. An BROCTON AND PORTLAND. In Summer Paths And By-ways.

Dr. Fen- ner's Kidney and Backache Cure is war- ranted to give satisfaction in every case or money returned. Such a proposition couldn't be thought of if the medicine wasn't superior to all others. The C. L.'s Latest Improvement. All the switches on the Chautauqua Lake railway have been provided with the O'Dell automatic attachment. The engines of the road are now being equipped so ai to guard against the possibility of a trai running into an open switch. The approach of an engine will close a switch that may carelessly have been left open. The appliance will be given a trial this week. Died at 104. Peter Long, Sr., of Amity township, died recently, aged 104 years. His father was one of the Hessian soldiers who were hired by the English to fight against the colonies during the revolutionary war. When the troops were withdaawn he de- serted the ranks and remained in the col- onies. He retained his mental and phy- sical faculties up to his last sickness. He was a farmer, and when 101 tended his little place and raised a garden for his family, and a surplus of 200 bushels of po- tatoes, doing all the work himself. Dur- ing the same autumn he walked a mile to his work and husked 200 bushels of corn on shares.—N. E. Sun. Interesting Letter From a Lively Correspondent .

The Misses Fleming, of Nerth East, were the guests of their grandparents, John Fleming and wife, the Fourth. George Munger and wife left Thursday for a few weeks visit with relatives in Ohio. Grapes never looked more promising in Portland at this season of the year than now. The cultivation generally has been thorough and the grapes show the effect. Currants are looking fine and prospects for good prices for that fruit is favorable. The early apple trees hang quite full, also some varieties of sweet apples, but the crop of baldwins is almost a failure. Curtice & Co. have arranged to erect a large root cellar 40x120 feet, on land se- cured from George Fuller, opposite the Blood house. A. M. Collier has purchased 2 acres of land of E . H .

MELVIN. mmtt Prof. Hall Caned. While the headline may look startling, the act itself was so quietly done as to raise no disturbance, and disagreeable as the first thought of such an occurance may be, there are none in town but are free to say that the Professor got his just deserts to be sure, there are some who think it was proper for the worthy citizens who ad- ministered the caning, to wait until his school wcrk was all over and then do the job in privacy at his residence, but in the main, our people would rather have seen in publicly done so that they might have applauded so worthy an action. The facts of the case are that on his return home from the Alumni banquet Friday evening Prof. Hall found on his library table a beautiful gold-headed ebony cane, suitably inscribed, the gift of his fellow citizens who took this means of showing their ap- preciation of his labors in oar school for the past nine years. Professor Hall looks supremely happy when he* carries his new stick. —Sinclairville Commercial. &*&> ~ Of Interest to the Towns. A question of law which touches all towns and villages in the state, has just been discovered by the village clerk of Sinclairville. Heretofore it has been the duty of all towns to keep in repair all bridges and their approaches. A late leg- islature passed a law which made it the duty of villages to keep up the bridges within their^ncorporate limits. Though this law was published in the session laws over a year ago, it was not discovered until the other day. The town of Charlotte has constructed two iron bridges in the village of Sinclairville the past year, and unless the village settles, it looks as if it would have a law suit on its hands.—Dunkirk Herald. [The above item, which has been ex- tensively coppied, is untrue. No such law ever passed, and the clerk of Simlairville village denies that he started the story.— ED.] The most of our ailments come from disordered liver which Simmons Liver Regulator cures. A Lady's Perfect Companion. Painless Childbirth, our new book, tells how any women may become a mother without suffering any pain whatever. Also how to treat and overcome morning sick- ness, swelled limbs and other evils attend- ing pregnancy. It is reliable, and highly endorsed by physicians as the wife's true private companion.

Those interested please take notice. On motion adjourned until regular meeting July 17, 1891, at 8 o'clock. J. G. FIXLAY, Clerk. Worthy of Patronage. A. G. Fox, special agent of the Massa- chusetts Benefit A ssociation,of Boston,has been in town, looking after the interests of his company. The prospect for a large business in Westfild and vicinity is al- ready very flattering, as some have al- ready had their applications written up and others have the matter Under consider- ation. One thing onr citizens may be as- sured of, no better plan of insurance has ever been offered them, and the different features embodied in the policy contract issued by this association are of such a nature as to make it especially desirable. Last week we noticed some of the spe- cial features referred to, but it may not be amiss to reprint them at this time. They may be briefly enumerated as fol- lows: Cash Dividends to all policy holders. Cash Surrender Values. Non-forfeiture Clause. Continuation of policy without further payment. Issues an absolute policy for a definite amount. Pays one-half of policy in case of per- permanent, total disability. Policies inconte6tible after three years. No restriction on residence or travel. Dividends declared each vear after the first. The record of the old Massachusetts Benefit is one of which any one might justly be proud, and may be summed up as follows: Organized, in 1878. Tue largest natural pn m um association in New England. 26,000 Members. $82,000,000 lnsuranoe in Force. Over $160,000 average proceeds of each mortuary call. 700 000 cash surplus or emergencv fund. Over 160,000 deposited with State Treasurer. $5,000,000 paid in death losses. Issues policies from $1,000 to $20,000. They also point with pride to the com- ments, and kind words from thousands, who have received substantial aid from them, as well as the good opinion of the present membership, has for them. Read the following it speaks for itself. ERIE, Pa., May 27, 1891. To The Public . After a careful examination of many Insurance Companies with special refer- ence to the laws under which they are governed, their system of Insurance and their contract with the insured, I most heartily approved the prominent features of The Massachusetts Benefit Association, of Boston, and took a policy with them in January last. I c*n conscientiously rec- ommend this association to others. A. C. BOWERS, Pastor Wayne street M.E. Chnrch. WESLEYVILLE Pa., March 23, 1891. To whom it may concern: After a careful examination into the system and plan of insurance as offered by the Massachusetts Benefit Association, of Boston, I took Jlast December a $2,000 policy through their Special Agent, Mr. A. G. Fox, and have just decided to take The West Side Park. The opening of West Side Park was all its en*erprising proprietor could have rea- sonably hoped for. The dancing floor was well patronized, the croquet ground was not a place of idling and the bowling alley was in continual use. The weather was agiinst ice cream, but it did its share for both the visitor and the park. On the afternoon and evening of the Fourth a still better business was done. When brilliantly lighted the place has rather an inviting appearance. Put Me In My Little Bed. I am dizzy, dizzy, dizzy; And I want to go to bed, I've no appetite to eat' And headache racks my head. In other words' I am suffering from a bilious attack' but Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will bring me around all right by tomorrow. They often cure headache in an hoar. I hare found them theebest ca- thartic pill in existence. They produce no nausea or griping, bat do their work thoroughly. They are convenient to carry in the vest pocket, and bleasant to take. In vials; 25 cents. —The July Drake's Magazine contains a timely illustrated article on "Metropol- itan Life in Summer," by L . J . Vance. A striking historical sketch is ''Justice or murder." J. H. E. Whitney sends a quaint study, 'A Circumlocution Peddler.' A simple and effectively told story is Rita Lawrence's "The Story of a Dude." Other articles and stories are "A Nova Scotia Sugar-Camp," "Nest Building in Cap- tivity," "Nerve" and "A Tale of a Candle- End." Mrs. Oliphant's story, "The Heir Presumptive and the Heir Apparent," is continued. The poetry of this number in- cludes an unusually fine bit of verse, "A Zephyr in Church," "A Sonnet" and "Yesterday and To-day," by Jean La Roe Burnett. "Jottings" are even spicer than ever, and Joel Benton's article on falling in love, in the Woman's Department is unique. "The Editor Himself" talks to the Young Folks, and "Quacks," the il- lustrated humorous department, is as spark- ling as usual. Price, $1.00 per year. No. 11 Frankfort Street, New York City. Don't Forget the Place. If there is any place that has been changed in ap-.earance in Westfield, in 50 years, it is the late location of the Lake Shore depot. Where it stood a steam shovel is digging up the ground prepara- tory to laying new tracks, while gangs of masons, carpenters and construction gangs are making a complete metamorphosis of that locality. Trains stopped at the foot of Franklin street for the first time Tues- day. The Bird of Wisdom. An owl sat up in a hickory tree, And said in an impudent manner to me "Ter-hoot! ter-hoot! ter-hoo!"

There is no risk in baying a guar- anteed •article. Your money back if it don't benefit or cure. a second $5,000. I can cheerfully and heartily recommend it to any one desiring life insurance at a moderate cost. Yours truly, C. M. CHAMBERS. ERIE, Pa, May 25,1891. I have tried four mutual benefit societies for insurance, aud after nearly two years' experience with the Massachusetts Benefit Association I take pleasure in saying that it has proved most satisfactory.

Rev. BreokV Brethren Endorse Him. Phillips Brooks' election at Bishop of

the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts has been ratified by a majority of the diocesan standing committees of the American church. As these committees are generally composed of several of the'foremost repre­s e n t e e clergyman and layman of a diocese the result is an expression of the confidence, esteem and admiration with which Dr . Brooks is regarded by his church at large. I t is also a gratifying evidence that that church does not wish to lightly overrule the republican tendencies of its constitu­tion, or to underrate the importance of studying and profiting by the success of this great pulpit orator in touching the heart of the people, and planting there seeds of truth which spring up and bear the fruit of nobler lives.

But one more step remains to complete the title of Bishop elect Brooks to the cer­emony of consecration. A majority of the bishops must give their consent. I t is in­conceivable that these venerable gentleman should disregard the voice of their church and repudiate a fellow clergyman of stain­less character, commanding intellect, and gifts of grand usefulness, for any reason short of an objection of vital importance. The infamous anonymous attacks on his fidelity to the doctrinal standards of his church have fallen flat; flattest with those who know him best. The one remaining argument, that is not denied because Dr . Brooks has not been in the habit of con­cealing his opinions, is that he does not hold the high church view of apostolical succession.

The bishops, however,have already gone irrevocably on record as not insisting upon this interpretation of this doctrine as of vital importance. They distinctly waived it in formulating their basis of church union with other evangelical Protestant denominations, for they asked them to accept only what is known as the doctrine of the "historic episcopate." This is what is so often referred to as the "fourth con­dition of the bishops," the other three conditions involving matters as to which the denominations are already practically at one. The unanimous ratification of Phillips Brooks' election to be one of their number would be the most convincing proof that the Episcopal House of Bishops could give to the other churches and to the world,as to the sincerity of their desire to unite all Christian organizations into one great universal church. Such an op­portunity is not likely to come again in thisgeneration,forthere is only one Phillips Brooks.—Ex.

Prof. Hall Caned. While the headline may look startling,

the act itself was so quietly done as to raise no disturbance, and disagreeable as the first thought of such an occurance may be, there are none in town but are free to say that the Professor got his just deserts to be sure, there are some who think it was proper for the worthy citizens who ad­ministered the caning, to wait until his school wcrk was all over and then do the job in privacy at his residence, but in the main, our people would rather have seen in publicly done so that they might have applauded so worthy an action. The facts of the case are that on his return home from the Alumni banquet Fr iday evening Prof. Hal l found on his library table a beautiful gold-headed ebony cane, suitably inscribed, the gift of his fellow citizens who took this means of showing their ap­preciation of his labors in oar school for the past nine years.

~ Of Interes t to the Towns. A question of law which touches all

towns and villages in the state, has just been discovered by the village clerk of Sinclairville. Heretofore it has been the duty of all towns to keep in repair all bridges and their approaches. A late leg­islature passed a law which made it the duty of villages to keep up the bridges within their^ncorporate limits. Though this law was published in the session laws over a year ago, it was not discovered until the other day. The town of Charlotte has constructed two iron bridges in the village of Sinclairville the past year, and unless the village settles, it looks as if it would have a law suit on its hands.—Dunkirk Herald.

[The above item, which has been ex­tensively coppied, is untrue. No such law ever passed, and the clerk of Simlairvil le village denies that he started the story.— E D . ]

Worthy of Patronage.

A. G. Fox , special agent of the Massa­chusetts Benefit A ssociation,of Boston,has • been in town, looking after the interests of his company. T h e prospect for a large business in Westfild and vicinity is al­ready very flattering, as some have al­ready had their applications written up and others have the matter Under consider­ation. One thing onr citizens may be as­sured of, no better plan of insurance has ever been offered them, and the different features embodied in the policy contract issued by this association are of such a nature as to make it especially desirable.

Last week we noticed some of the spe­cial features referred to, but it may not be amiss to reprint them at this time.

They may be briefly enumerated as fol­lows:

Cash Dividends to all policy holders. Cash Surrender Values. Non-forfeiture Clause. Continuation of policy without further

payment.

Issues an absolute policy for a definite amount.

Pays one-half of policy in case of per-permanent, total disability.

Policies inconte6tible after three years. No restriction on residence or travel. Dividends declared each vear after the

first.

The record of the old Massachusetts Benefit is one of which any one might justly be proud, and may be summed up as follows:

Organized, in 1878. Tue largest natural pn m um association

in New England. 26,000 Members. $82,000,000 lnsuranoe in Force. Over $160,000 average proceeds of each

mortuary call. 700 000 cash surplus or emergencv fund. Over 160,000 deposited with State

Treasurer. $5,000,000 paid in death losses. Issues policies from $1,000 to $20,000. They also point with pride to the com­

ments, and kind words from thousands, who have received substantial aid from them, as well as the good opinion of the present membership, has for them. Read the following it speaks for itself.

E R I E , Pa. , May 27, 1891. To The Public .

After a careful examination of many Insurance Companies with special refer­ence to the laws under which they are governed, their system of Insurance and their contract with the insured, I most heartily approved the prominent features of The Massachusetts Benefit Association, of Boston, and took a policy with them in January last. I c*n conscientiously rec­ommend this association to others.

The West Side Park.

The opening of West Side Park was all its en*erprising proprietor could have rea­sonably hoped for. The dancing floor was well patronized, the croquet ground was not a place of idling and the bowling alley was in continual use. The weather was agiinst ice cream, but it did its share for both the visitor and the park.

On the afternoon and evening of the Fourth a still better business was done.

When brilliantly lighted the place has rather an inviting appearance.

If there is any place that has been changed in ap-.earance in Westfield, in 50 years, it is the late location of the Lake Shore depot. Where it stood a steam shovel is digging up the ground prepara­tory to laying new tracks, while gangs of masons, carpenters and construction gangs are making a complete metamorphosis of that locality. Trains stopped at the foot of Franklin street for the first time Tues­day.
