INDIAN PEACE POLICY
From the time of the first settlement of
this country to this date, for a period of
over two hundred and fifty years, the "In
dian troubles" have been constant troubles,
and the "Indian question" has been a much
vexed question and a seemingly unsolvable
question. The conflict between civiliza
tion and barbarism, for the possession of
this continent, has been a long conflict, b u t
the ultimate triumph of the former has long
been universally claimed by the Whites
and sorrowfully conceded by the Savages.
In its westward course it has always push
ed and crowded .he Indians in advance;
vmetimes its progress has been marked
by all the atrocities and horrors of an ex_
terminating war, while at other times by
finesse or diplomacy it has accomplished
its irresistible and defiant march.
During the rebellion the attention of
the whole country was turned toward the
successes and reverses of our armies in the
Southern fields, but when these were no
longer the absorbing topic, the border dif
ficulties again loomed into sight and de.
manded adjustment. The conflicts between
the border settlers and the Indians were
renewed, the whites were trespassing on
the reservations and the Indians were re
venging real or fancied injuries in their
ancient manner.
Among all the policies suggested, tried
or adopted, none have met with more pop
ular favor nor been more successful than
the Indian Peace Policy inaugurated by
General Grant. Receiving as it does the
material aid and eountenace from the re
ligious denominations of our laud, and the
practical execution of it being committed,
in a great measure, to ehristian men, its
policy, course and suggestions have been
loudly approved by the christian men and
women of the whole nation and the whole
world. This course has been advantageous,
not only to the whites, but to the Indians
and has given the two races confidence in
each other. The careless and malicious
slaughter of the Indians, by our border
ruffians, has been in a great measure stop
ped on the one hand, and on the other
or the white settlers
hand, the
so common, ten or twenty years ago, have
entirely ceased. By it there has been ac
complished an annual saving of three or
four million dollars iu the Indian expen
ditures, (a reduction of about 40 per cent.)
mid the money so spent is so disbursed that
it benefits these wards of the Government
and not the mercenary agents. Under its
benign influences hundreds and hundreds
of these benighted heathen have been in
duced to embrace christianity, and the
triumph of civilization is to be accom
plished by the extermination of the savage
nature rather than of the savages them
selves. Tribe after tribe have abandoned
the bow and arrow and taken up the plow
and shovel, and there is a fair prospect
that the Indians will become good and
useful members of society.
That General Canby and Dr. Thomas
have been brutally assassinated, is.
we fear, unfortunate for the carry
ing out of this policy. Lured into the
trap by specic us promises and treacherous
smiles; influenced by no motives except
to benefit the very men by whom they
were slain, t hese noble, self-denying, tender
hearted and brace men have gone to their
death mourned by the whole country. The
mission which they undertook was confided
to them on account of their known affec
tion and love for the Indian race, and
their slaughter is unparalled for its in
gratitude and atrocity.
The general commanding the army as a'
measure of retaliation, and to strike terror
to the other tribes has ordered that towards
the Modocs a war of extermination shall
be relentlessly and mercilessly pursued un
til the "Last of the Modem" shall sleep
with his fathers. Such treachery demands
the immediate and vigorous punishment of
the offenders, but the passions of the peo_
plc should net be aroused against the
whole race, nor confounding the innocent
with the guilty should all be included in
the general condemnation. The Modoc
Tribe should alone bear the guilt and pun
ishment of the Modoo sin, and the other
tribes, so broadly scattered over the west
ern territories, are no mere responsible for
the treachery and guilt of these Indians.
than are the white citizens of Pennsylva
nia responsible for the massacre of two
hundred negroes by the treacherous whites
of Louisan.
The Policy cannot be deemed a failure
on account of this single instance of Indian
treaehery.
ler The Franklin Repository. in its
last issue, thus lays down the qualifications
of a member of the Legislature : "If Legis_
lators, as a body of law-makers, are not
better qualified than the average of the
people from whom they are taken for the
purposes of their election, it is toe much
to expect their work to be satisfactory.—
This is not disrespect to the people. To
make lavis wisely requires higher qualifica
tions than to execute them. A law-maker
must have ability, he should know what
yaws are needed for public safety, public
convenience and comfort, and public pros
perity. Bat he must also possess integri
ty. If he does not the people have no
guarantee that his ability may not be used
to subvert their best interests for his per
sonal ends, instead of promoting and pro
tecting them. Unless he has established
among these who know him a character
for both of these essential qualities he
should not be entrusted with the responsi
ble power of a legislator."
i. Under the act of Congress, passed
March 3, 1373, the widows of commission
ed offieers, whose husbands died in the
service of the U. S., are entitled to 82 per
month for each minor child, to dute from
July 20, 1866.
aS. The Modoes have escaped from the
lava beds. Several of their famous war
riors are reported killed. The troops are
riming them.

Commissioners, and I met on Wednesday.
I think about 11 o'clock. He said he did

there were about a hall-dozen persons pre
sent. I invited hint and Harris Richard
son to my house for dinner. In the room
he said he bad lists front nearly all parts
of the county. He wanted MC to give hitn
some names from Dublin township. I did
so; gave him some twenty or thirty names.

thirty names front Dublin township and a
few from Huntingdon borough; any nth_
ers ?

No, sir.. I MADE NO SUCH ILE-

Geo. W. Shontz, (Jury Commissioner,)
sworn.
Question. State what you know as to
the making up and drawing of the Jury
for this Court
[Mr. Woods objected to the witness an
swering. Said he had no right to answer
such questions. After a parley between
the counsel the subject was referred to His
Honor, Judge. Taylor, who said : "I think,
for 'his own honor, he should tell all lie
knows about it."] Witness then pro
ceeded :
Answer. I came to town on Wednes
day, about 11 o'clock; was in Mr. Woods'

A. He said it would now do. 1 could
go: We went down to his office. Mr.
Speer was there. We talked some about
the Jury and I went to the Prothonotary's
office to aid in drawing the Jury.
We submit this testimony to our read
ers without further comment. It speaks
for itself. firmest men of Huntingdon
county, what do you think of it ? This is
one of the many ways in which the League
has worked.
/car The Monitor wants to know wheth
er we are in favor of the increase of the
President's salary front $25,000 to $50,-
000 a year. We answer, pointedly, WE
ASE! The fact of the President of the
United States heretofore receiving a
smaller- salary than the presidents of teeny
of our leading railroad companies, we can
only characterize as a reproach and a beg
garly shame. If ninety-seven years ago,
when our population scarcely exceeded
3,000,000 of persons,s2s,ooo was believed
to be a reasonable annual salary for our
Chief Executive, it certainly ought to be
double that amount now, when our popu
lation exceeds 40,000,000, and our wealth
has increased in a much greater propor
tion. The man who would grumble at
this just lives ono hundred years too late.
He belongs to the dead past. But Con
gressmen tying $5,000 on to the tail of
the bill, for their own use, is quite another
thing !
D. Over, Beg., formerly of the Gazette in this
plane, new of the Hollidaysburg, Register, wants
to ho sheriff a Blair county. D. O. has been a
bard worker for his party ever since we first knew
him—a period of twenty years or more—and boo
earned all the favors it can give him.—Lewistoten
Democrat.
All of which we most heartily endorse.
Mr. Over has served the party well if ever
man did. lie certainly ought to be hand
somely rewarded, if the custom of reward
ing those who do the work has not gone
entirely ont of fashion. We hope,he may
get the nomination and be elected.
NI. The Harrisburg papers appear to
enjoy a monopoly of the business of throw
ing dirt and chaff ut the Centennial Exhi
bition.
Dek. How brace the Monitor has be
come lately ! Be quiet, friend, and you
will exhibit a wise discretion.
The Monitor is disposed t twit us ! WAR TO THE KNIFE
for not aiming at larger game than Wood 9;
Laird, Logan, Shearer & Co. Now, the
truth of it that we have no Con gr ,. !i i on :
al bird to aim at, and consequently lei
drive at such game as is iti'view. Bet e
then, .we bring them down by the bag lull
and, there is no trouble in telling where
the wounded ones are by their flutteriugs.
How about your bird ; got hint pretty near
bagged, eh ? What opecies does he belong
to
ta.. We have received the new Pitts
burg daily, the .Evening Telegraph, edited
by our feruier townsman, llon. H. Bucher

pers published in the State. In this res
pect it surpasses the Philadelphia papers.
To any of our subscribers wanting a daily
evening paper from Pittsburg, we would
say take the Telegraph.

rejected by the people.

Constitutional Convention
PHILADELPHIA, April 17.—Mr. Lain
berton sent up to the president the follow
ing letter :
LANCESTED, April 15, 1873.--Flon.
William A. Meredith, President of the
Constitutional Convention—My DEAR SIR:
Permit me through you to tender to the
constitutional convention, my resignation.
The many professional and private en
gagements which demand my attention
during the months of April and May, and
which I cannot postpone without great
loss and inconvenience to others, have ne
cessitated this course.
It is with much regret that I seti•ere my
connection with this convention, assem
bled in response to a call from the people
to execute the work of reform.
So far the action of the convention
meets with my hearty approval, and if in
the end all is realized that a good begin
ning justifies anticipating, the people of the
state will congratulate each other that they
placed a great work in such trustworthy
hands, and all who contribute to the re•
suit will have just cause to be proud.
I have thci honor to be yours, respect
fully. SAMUEL H. REYNOLDS.
The resignation was aceepted, and the
seleetion of a successor was referred to the
delegates at large voting the same way—
Mr. Reynolds being a democrat. This is
the third vacancy which • has occurred
since the convention assembled in this city
on the 7th of January. _ _
A motion to again - change the hours for
meeting and adjourning was debated for a
half hour and then tabled.
The report of the committee on the ju
diciary was made the special order for
Monday next.
The convention then went into commit
tee of the whole on the article reported by
Mr. Cochran, from the committee on rail
roads and canals. Mr Broomall in the
chair.
Ssc. I, whish reads as tbllows, was de
bated at length : "Any individual, com
pany, or corporation, organized for the
purpose, shall have the right to construct
a railroad, orcanal,between any two points
in this state. Any railroad may intersect
and connect with any other railroad, and
no discrimination shall be made in passen
ger arid freight tariffs on persons, or pro
perty, passing from one railroad to anoth
er and nu unnecessary delay interposed in
•the forwarding of such passengers and
property to their destination. The legis
latuie shall, by general law, prescribing
reasobable regulations, give full effect to
these powers and rights."
Numerous amendments were offered and
voted d"wn.
Mr. LEAR made a vigorous attack along
the whole line of the report, which he con
sidered as aimed especially at railroad cor
porations, and was replied to by Mr. Coch
ran, who said that the gentleman front
Bucks did not seem to comprehend the
animus of the article. It was for the pro
tection of railroad companies and the pub
lic alike, and to establish a system of in
ter communication throughout the entire
state. The section was then agreed to.
The next section was then taken up. It
read as follows :
SEO. 2. Every railroad or canal corpora
tion organized, or doing business in this
state, shall maintain a public office therein
for the transaction of its business, where
transfers of its stock shall be made and
books kept for public inspection, in which
shall be recorded the amount of capital
stock subscribed or paid in, and by whom;
the names of the owners of its stock and
the amounts owned by them respectively;
the transfers of said stock, and the names
and places of residence of its officers. The
chiefefficer or director of every such cor
poration shall annually make a report un
der oath or affirmation to the secretary of
internal affairs, which report shall include
a detailed statement of its receipts and ex
penditures, assets and liabilities ' and such
other matters relating to its business as
are now or hereafter may be prescribed by
law, or required by said secretary.
On motion, however, the committee rose
to sit again at three o'clock.
The delegates at large, through Judge
Woodward, reported that they had selected
William Bigler, of Clearfield, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of S. H.
Reynolds. A recess was then taken until
three o'clock.
The constitutional convention assembled
at three o'clock and took up article on rail
roads and canals.
The second section, providing that every
railroad or canal corporation doing busi
ness in the state shall keep an office there
in where transfers of stock shall be made
and books kept open for public inspection
and the chief officer compelled to make
annual report, was taken up.
An amendment was adopted providing
that the books shall be kept open for in
spection of stock and bond holders or any
other person having a pecuniary interest
therein.
A discussion followed upon the provis
ion requiring cm annual report upon the
receipts, expenditures, assets, liabilities,
tote., of railroad and canal corporations to
be made to the secretary of internal affairs
The section was adopted, thus : "Every
railroad or canal corporation, organised or
doing business in this state, shall maintain
an office therein for the transaction of its
business, where transfers of its stock shall
be made and books kept for inspection by
any stock or bondholder or any other per
son having a pecnninry interest in such
corporation, in which shall be recorded
the amount of capital stock subscribed or
paid in and by whoin, the names of the
owners of its stock and the amounts own
ed by them, the transfers of said stock and
the names and places of residence of its
officers."
Pending a vote on the third ceetion, the
convention adjourned until tomorrow
morning.

No further particulars of the Nodne

The Secretary of the Interior to-day re
peated that he should ask for no mercy
whatever for the Modoes. He did not
think the nrssacre would seriously affect
the peace policy, which protected friendly
Indians but punished those that were hos
tile. General Canby was in accord with
this policy, and had been entrusted with
the management of the proceedings con
nected with the Mode° mission, and his
decision was to be final.
The following is the official Statement
of the purpose and powers or the Modoe
Peace Commission, being a letter under
and in accordance with which the instruc
tions of the Commissioners were prepared
by the Indian Bureau :
WASHINGTON, January 211. 1873.
To the Acting Commissiene; of Indian Af-
Airs
SIR :—Referring to the difficulties that
have arisen and still continue to exist be
tween the troops of the United States and
the Modoe Indians in Oregon, I have to
inform you that I have determined to send
a Commission to the scene of the difficulty
fey the purpose of examining into the
same. This Commission will consist of
three members, whose names will be here
after furnished you. It will ba required
to proceed to the Modoc country as rapid
ly as possible and before entering upon
any active discharge of its duties will con
fer with General Canby of the United
States Army, and in all subsequent pro
ceedings of the Commission it should con
fer freely with that officer and act under
his advice as far as it may be possible to
do so, and always with his co-operation.—
The objects to be gained by the Commis
sion tare these : First, To ascertain the
muses which have led to the difficulties
and hostilities between the troops and the
Indians. and, secondly, To devise the most
effective and judicious measures for pre
ventino. the continuance of these hostili
ties, and for the restoration of peace, It
is the opinion of this department, from the
best information in its possession, that it
is advisable to remove the Modoe Indians,
with their consent, to some new reserva
tion, and it is believed that the coast res
ervation in Oregon. lying between Cape
Lookout on the north, and Cape Perpetua,
on the south, and bounded on the east by
coast range of mountains and on the west
by the Pacific ocean, will be fund to
furnish the proper location for these In
dians. The Commiksion will therefore be
directed to make an amicable arrangement.
locating the Indians on some portion of
this reservation, provided it is possible for
it to he so, and provided that s 'id Commis
sion is not of opinion, after fully investi
gating the case, that some other place is
better adapted to accoMplish the purpose
of the Department. In either of which
events the Commission will, before finiilly
concluding the arrangement with
. the In
dians, hold a communication with the
Commissioner of Indian Affairsandreceive
further advices.. The Commission will in
no wise attempt to direct the military
authorities in reference to their move
ments. It will be at liberty, however, to
inform the commanding officer of the wish
of the Department; that no more force or
violence be used than in his opinion shall
be deemed absolutely necessary and proper
it being the desire of the Department in
this, as well as in all other eases of like
character, to conduct its communications
with the Indians in such manner as to se
cure peace and obtain their confidence if
possible, and their voluntary consent to
comply with such regulations as may be
deemed necessary for their present
.and future welfare. The commission
wiil be directed to keep the Department
advised as frequently as possible of its pro
gress until the work which is assigned to
it shall be accomplished. or its further
progress proven to be unnecessary.
Very respectfully your obedient service.

Letter From Kansas ,
MattairroN, April 8, 1873.
Mn. EDITOR :—The past winter has
been extremely old, naive snow tell than
has in any one winter since ISSB, the time
came here. The thermometer was more
times below zero than it was ever known
to be in any one winter since I have been
in Kansas. Money is scarce on account of
the short crop of wheat. Vary little wheat
went over ten 4ushels per acre, more went
under five than over ten. A great deal
was plowed up in the Spring. Oats and
to:n are in abundance. My can averaged
seventy bushels per acre; Oats, forty-five.
Grain commands the following prices :
Wheat, $1.55; Corn, 20 to 22 ; Oats, 15
to 16. There was very little wheat sowed
last fall compared with the fall before, but
what was sowed promises the best crop
this year that ever I saw this time of year.
There has been a great deal of oats sowed
this spring, there will be more oats and
corn planted this spring than ever was
known around here in one year. Some'
have sown oats a month agog but it com
menced raining Saturday afternoon and
on Sunday had some showers; when the
wind got round North the weather got
cold and we had.snow yesterday, and to
day, it has just quit snowing (four o'clock
P. at.) The snow is about three or four
inches deep. LA; out for mud when the
snow melts. No plowing for ten days or
two weeks. Not much corn will be planted
before the first of May. H.
Letter from Mercereburg.
MERCERSBURG, Franklin co., Pa t
April 14, 1873.
Me. EDITOR:—As Huntingdon county
Is represented here, perhaps a line or two
from this place may be of interest to the
readers of the JOURNAL.
Although Mercersburg is not the most
noted town in the world, it is not by any
means the most insignificant one.
It is situated in Cumberland Valley, a
short distance from the Southern Pa. R.
accessible to it by a branch road by
which the mail is received daily.
The town contains a population of near
ly two thousand, and from the number of
its inhabitants, and the wealth of the town,
there is mere than ordinary interest mani
fested in it. The business portion of the
inhabitants, appear to be an enterprising
stirring class of men indeed, there appeats
to be more trade and stir here than in many
towns of three or four times tke popula
tion having better facilities and opportuni
tea. and situated along the Central road,
however the wealthy Valley surrounding it
is of very great advantage to it.
The people are intelligent, refined and
peaceable,
even the editors are "at peace
with each other," though perhaps it is be
cause there is only one.
They show a spirit of enterprise in their
public buildings; they have seven very
fine churches, aarge brick school build
ing. for four schools, besides a room in
which to educate the race there being quite
a number here. Mercersburg is also the
seat of Mercersburg College which is in
successful operation and in its eighth year,
contains at present about ninety five stu
dents, of which seven graduated at the
close of the year, an increase of four on
last year. The institution is under the
care of an efficient faculty, and is steadily
becoming stronger. The situation is all
that could be desired for a college, a inure
healthy place could not be selected; nor a
place freer from vice and temptation which
are due to college life.
Adieu, for the present,
M ELA S.
Letter from Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, April 10, 1873.
EDITOR JOURNAL. :—I have again chang
ed my base, and am now in the heart of
the enemy's camp, where daily strife is
the order of the day. Each party still trying
to predominate in the rural districts, but,
as usual, the Kellogg party is in the as
cendency, and soon the entire State will
recognize his authority as Governor of
Louisiana. Then we look for a better state
of things, a better feeling, both social and
political. Thus far the troubles in this
State have caused a stagnation in immi
gration, but it way be presumed, with the
utmost confidence, that Louisiana will be
favored in an eminent degree by a spun- 1
tanoous, healthy and invigorating influx of
immigrants.
Those who think that the political trou
bles will deter people from coming to this
State must fail to consider the part which
immigration has heretofore played in the
settlement and development of' the State,
and must fail also to consider the geograph
ical, commercial and political circumstan
ces that will conspire hereafter in favor of
society, industry and material prosperity
in the Mississippi delta and co-terminus
regions. It is therefore only a dream of
morbid despondency to suppose that this
magnificent territory, forming the base of
the Mississippi Valley, and containing the
seaboard metropolis of that valley, is to be
abandoned to social decay and semi-sav
agery. Its existing population would not
be permitted to plunge it into irretrieva
ble ruin, even if they were madly bent on
so doing. The country at large has too
much interest in its salvation and improve
ment. Too many Northern men have set
tled among the "white Southern trash"
for a retrograde party to accomplish much.
An association was formed, a few months
ago, in New Orleans, called "The Louisi
ate Immigration and Homestead Compa
ny." The specific purpose of this Company
is to facilitate the disposition of real estate,
in eligible parcels and with adequate im
provements, among an intelligent, virtuous
l and thrifty class of people, native or for
reign, who desire to settle upon secured
homesteads. Its capital stock is $1,000.-
000, with the privilege of increasing it to
$2,000,000. A share of this stock is only
$5, so that. persons of the very smallest
means may become stockholders and make
their influence felt in the management and
policy of the company. Among its incor
porators, and alas on its first board of di
rectors, are such men as Gen. Beauregard,
Dr. D. W. Briel , el—a large stockholder
in the Picayune Company—Louis Schnei
der, a city official and millionaire, and other
prominent citizens of Louisiana. Such an
organization deserves encouragement, and
judiciously directed cannot fail to give a'
new and wholesome impetus to immigra
tion and the development of the agricultu•
rzd and mineral wealth of the State.
This is ono of the movements that has
not waited upon the uncertain political
eventualities. 1u inteliigent board of di
ractors, armed with moral and material
power, have already retrieved a part of the
political misfortune, and 'will eventually
command the political destiny of Louisiana.
Quite a number of milli - ons of acres of
laud are now open for homesteads in this
State. Now is the time, to secure a home.
Cnoci us.
The Climax of Disorder in Louisiana.
So long as the Louisiana trouble was
confined to the intrigues for power of sel
fish politicians. the nation was simply dis
gusted ; when it threatened the overthrow
of law and order, the country became in
dignant, but no that it has resulted in
wholesale murder, the entire Union will
be moved with righteous anger. There is
more in the story we print this morning
than appears from the simple facts, start
ling though they are. It is strangely like
the dreadful tale of Fort Pillow, to be told
of negroes being shot down and killed as
they ran from a burning building in which
they were beleaguered Yet this is what
happened at Colfax, Grant Parish, La., en
Sunday last. 'The details of this fiendish
deed are simply these: Some 400 negroes
.etre4ted into the Court-house, and it was
find. as the only metes of disledging
them. One hundred of their number wer e •
sh..t . as they fled, and after the melee not
a negr,, was t be seen for miles :ironed.
About 100 are said to have escaped. The
fate of the 300 can hardly be considered
as anything but a horrible certainty.
But little interest will be felt in the
causes which led to this fearful massacre
The nation that supposed the rebellion had I
been suppressed and peace restored, is
suddenly startled by an outrage that has a
parallel only in the darkest scenes of that'
woful strife. It is confronted, not with
the question of how this carno to pass, but
with the problem of how the new peril it
involves can be averted. It is idle to sup-
pose that such a high-handed outrage as I
this can happen without endangering the
national peace. Nothing is so powerful as I
example, and the uneasy Southern States
must be moved from their apparent quiet
by such events. Two antagonistic races,
intermixed over a vast expanse of country,
constitute a mine that any untoward inci
dent may explode, and no Government can
permit the match to be applied to it with
out becoming recreant to its first duty — 1
Louisiana cannot be convulsed, and the I
nation remain undisturbed. Murder and I
rapine cannot be hourly incidents there,
and life and property be secure elsewhere.
The prese;vation of the national peace
and honor demands that the supremacy of
the law shall be restored instantly in that
distracted State. But how shall this be
done The State authorities, if there be
any, have allowed affairs to drift from bad
to worse. The troubles beginning with
the wrangles of ambitious demagogues have
almost reached that worst of human calami
ties,
a war of races. During all this time
there has not been a single vigorous, effec
tive exercise of lawful local authority.—
Confronted by this condition of affairs,
must the nation permit society in Louisi
ana to be utterly disintegrated and other
States to be involved in the disaster ? Pre
sident Grant has now before him one of
the most serious questions he has ever
been called upon to decide, and we think
the country can safely trust to his sagacity
and patriotism. He must know that to
allow such events as that of Sunday to be
repeated, is to bring great calamities upon
the country, and he must be convinced
that there is much danger they will be re
peated unless some power steps in much
stronger than any which has yet interve
ned in these troubles. Not until the last
extremity is reached would the General
Government be justified in interferinz di
rectly in Louisiana afiliirs. But not rever
ence for State rights can justify the Fed
eral authorities in allowing a State to be
destroyed and the safety of the nation im
periled.—N. Y. nres.
Centaur Liniment
There is no pain which the Centaur Lniment will not
relieve, no swelling it will not subdue, and no tamalese
which it will not cure. Thin in strong language, but it
true. Whore the parts are eot gone, its effects are mar
velous. It has produced more cures of rheumatism, nen
mlgia, lock jaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked breast.,
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, Sm., upon the human
frame, and of strains, spaviu, gall, do., upon animals in
one year than have all other pretended remedies since the
world begun. It is a counter-irritant, an all-healing pain
reliever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the lame
walk, poisonous bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without a Ewer. It is no humbug. The
The recipe Is published around each bottle. It in selling
as no article ever before sold, and it mils because It does
just what it pretends to do. Those who now suffer from
rheumatism, pain or swelling, dmerse to suffer if they
will not use Centaur Liniment. More than 1000 certifi
cates of remarkable cures, including frozen limbo, chron
ic rheumatism, gout, running tumors, Or., have been re
ceived. We will send a circular containg certificate., the
receipt, dc., gratis, to any one requesting it. One bottle
of the yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for spavined or sweenied horses and
mules, U. for screw-worm from sheep. Stock owners—this
