TANDEM. —The sporting men of our town '

turn-outs. They are entirely too long drawn

horse is far more desirable.
HALE way up Lookout Mountain, the place
where memory is stirred by a thousand thrill
ing associations, and where the brave boys
: of both armies met and fought hand to hand,
where the blood of both friend and foe was
mingled together and ran down the moun
tain-side in rivulets, is a smooth faced rock,
upon which a poor, wounded soldier inscribed
! the following :
"S. T.—1860 X.—Early in the battle I
i was wounded, and carried to this spot by two
clever 'Yanks.' They bade roe farewell, and
as they supposed, to die, for I was so weak
from the loss of blood that I could but faintly
j thank them for their kindness. They left in
I my canteen a part bottle of PLANTATION BIT
! TEBS, to which I owe my life for it strength
ened me, and kept life within me until help
I came and my wound was dressed. God bless
; them for their kindness, and for the PLAXTA
| TION BITTERS."'

THE Universal cry, "What shall I buy for
Holiday Presents" can be answered best by
j Parker k Co., 98 k 100 Summer St., Boston,
who have an immense variety of Holiday and
useful articles, such as all kinds of Fancy
Boxes, Writing Desks, Glove Boxes, Albums
in Morocco and Gilt and Velvet bindings,
real Morocco Shopping Bags, Furnished Ret
icules, Silver Plated Ware, and Cutlery of all
descriptions, Jewelry imitations of the latest
styles of solid gold, which cannot be distin
guished from the real, Ac., Ac., and hundreds
of the latest and most entertaining Books.
Their stock contains almost everything nee
I essary to supply the wants and gratify the
tastes of everybody, and they claim that their
snperior facilities tor buying these goods en
ables them to sell at very much under the
regular prices paid for each articles. They
want Agents everywhere, to whom they offer
most liberal inducements. We call attention
to their advertiesment in another column.

TEACHER'S INSTITUTE. —Next week a teach
er's institute will be held in this place. We
understand that arrangements have been
made to have a very interesting and benefi
cial session. Certainly there is not a teacher
in the county who wishes to prosper in the
profession, who will not be willing to give
bis aid and his presence on that occasion,
and surely there is no school board in the
county having the interest of the schools
at heart, that will not sanction this enter
prise. We think all teachers and directors
should feel it their duty to attend the insti
tute, for that is the place to discuss school ques
tions, and an interchange of opinion while
it can do no harm, may be the means of a
great deal of good to our school system.
THE WEATHER. —At six o'clock on Satur
day morning it began to snow, and twelve
hours later, we had a bed about fifteeD iches
deep. During the night the wind arose and
the snow drifted so much, that on Sunday
and Monday, the roads were almost impassa
ble. Since then, the roads have been broken
and sleighing and sledding have been pretty
good. On Tuesday it grew colder, and blew
fine snow all day, increasing in fury after
sunset. About midnight the wind fell, and
toward daylight it began to rain, and on Wed
nesday morning our deep bed of snow was
converted into slush and water, which ren
dered travel very disagreeable. Since then
it has been raining pretty steady, and we
have no signs of quitting as we go to press.
Now is the time to insure. When money
is stringent, business men should not forget
to insure their property. For many a man's
wealth is bonnd up in his dwelliag, or bis fur
niture, or bis stock of goods. The In
surance Company of Hartford Connecticut is
certainly the most reliable company in which
to place the risk of all your wealth. This
Company offers superior inducements to
farmers to insure their dwellings or barns.
M. A. POINTS, Agent.
SUDDEN changes of weather are productive
of Throat Diseases, Coughs, Colds, Ac.
There is no more effectual relief in these dis
eases to be found, than in the timely use of
"Browns Bronchial Troches." They pos
sess real merit, and have proved their efficacy
by a test of many years, having received tes
timonials from eminent men who have used
them.
WlNTEß. —Tuesday 21st, was the Winter
Solstice, or the Sun's greatest declination
South, and marked the beginning of Winter,
according to the division of the year into
seasons. In point of fact, winter has been
upon us for some time and we are prepared
now to welcome the frost king with about
eighteen inches of snow and fine sleighing.

QUEER preparations with queer names, are
now a days compounded, almost without
number, many unquestionably worthless, and
many still worse, absolutely injurious. The
A'.isma is, we are convinced, an exception to
either of these categories. We have seen it
tried and know it will do as recommended,
restore gray hair to ite original color and lus
tre, and at the same time perform every func
tion of a perfect hair dressing, which neither
injures the texture of the hair, nor colors the
linen or skin. For the purpose designated,
we believe it to be the very best preparation
in use.— East Saginaw Courier.

\ yKR , B~CHEBBr PECTORAL,
For /fracases of the Throat and Lunge, euch as
Coughs, Culde, Whooping Cough, Ilron
chitie, Asthma, and Uonsustption.
Probobly never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series of years, anl among most
of the races of men it has risen highor and high
er in their estimation, as it bos become bette.-
known. Its uniform character and power to cure
the various affections of the lungs and throat,
have made it known as a reliable pr tector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the saino time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for inci
pient consumption, and the dangerr us affections
of the throat and langs. As a provision against
sudden attacks of Croup, it should bo kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all arc some
times subject to colds and conghs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry l'ectoral. So complete is its mas
tery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat,
that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Pectflral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great protec
tion from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured fay taking the
Chei ry Pectoral in small and frequent doses,
So generally are its virtuegknown that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do
more than asoure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
AVER'S AGUE CURE.
For Freer and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Vnmb Ague, Period'
ical o> Bilious Fever, d~c., and indeed
all the affections which ariee from
malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As it name implies, it does CL'RB, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, ijuinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral ur poisonous
substance whatever, it iu nowise injures any pa
tient The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, arc literally beyond account,
and we believe withont a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments wc receive cf the radical cures
effected in obstinate coses, and where other reme
dies had wholly failed.
I'n acclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the Ague Cure daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
'.be Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
tuarkable cures, where other medicines had failed.

upon the irritated surface of the lungs and
throat, penetrating to each deceased part, re
lieving pain and subduing inflamation. It is
the result of years cf study and experiment,
and it is offered to the atSicted with positive
assurance of its power to cure the following
diseases, if the patient has not too long de
layed a resoyt to the means of care: —
