Grace Church Items.

   The Right Rev. Frederic Dan Huntington, S. T. D. Bishop of the diocese of central New York, will visit this parish for the purpose of administering the Apostolic rite of confirmation on May 10th, 1891. A number of persons are already looking forward and preparing to receive confirmation at that time. The rector hopes to see and talk with all unconfirmed persons in the parish, but if he should overlook any one he would be very glad if they would make known their desire.

   Mr. C. H. Gaylord has been busy distributing a novel advertising sheet this week. It is in the form of a checker board, thus confining pleasure and profit to the recipient. By pasting the sheet upon a board you have a tasty game for the home, and can make your choice of moves to the business houses whose cards appear on the squares.
   Rev. S. H. Haskell, of Braman's Corners, Schenectady county, solemnized the nuptials binding Mr. Jay S.

A large gathering of friends were present and many tokens of esteem were left to the happy couple.
   The very best entertainment of the season was presented by Frohman's Lyceum Theatre Company in the Opera House, last Saturday evening. ''The Wife'' is a society drama, and is interesting from the beginning to end. The special scenery was fine, and the cast was a most excellent one in every particular. It would fill the house should it be presented here again.
   Mr. Geo. I. Crane took possession of the Hotel Windsor, in Homer, the first of the month, under a long lease, and will hereafter conduct the same. Mr. Crane has had several years' experience in hotel keeping, and is well known to the traveling public as a model landlord. That the house will be well kept under his management goes without saying. We understand he will continue to act as auctioneer whenever his services are required.
   The Board of Trustees met last Monday evening and removed Jas. E. Edwards, who was appointed policeman at the previous meeting in place of Albert Goldsmith. The latter was then appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Edwards. It is understood that the trustees were a tie on the vote, and that President Walrad cast the deciding vote. There was never any good reason for Goldsmith's removal, and the citizens will be glad to know that he has been reinstated.

Look Out for Them. [Paid Advertisement]
   "My kidneys are all right, I have no pain in my back." Mistaken man! People die from Kidney disease of so bad a character that the organs are nearly destroyed, and yet they have never had a pain or an ache. Why? Because the disease began in the interior of the kidneys where there are few nerves of feeling to convey the sensation of pain. Dr. Kilmer's "Swamp-Root" is the great specific for "Bright's disease," urinary troubles and kidney difficulties.
 

A Pleasant Herb Drink. [Paid Advertisement]
   The best cure we know of for Constipation and Headache is the pleasant herb drink called Lane's Family Medicine. It is said to be Oregon grape root, combined with simple herbs and is made for use by pouring boiling water onto the dried roots and herbs. It is one of the best spring medicines, and is remarkably efficacious in all blood disorders. It is now the sovereign remedy with ladies for clearing up the complexion. Druggists sell the packages at 50c and $1.
