A Good Templar's lodge will soon be in working order in this place. We wish it God speed, and that much good may result from its establishment. We understand the school board adopted Mr. Williams' plan for the new school house. Never having seen the drawing we can say nothing of its merits. Several of our Greenback friends, inform us that they are rejoiced at the death of the Nationalist, and affirm that the paper did their party more harm than good. A large book-case, of unique and beautiful design, has been placed in position, in a room in the court house, in Hollidaysburg, to hold the law library of Blair county. When you want any job printing—not &tub ing—the JOURNAL Job Rooms is the place to get it. First-class work, at low rates is our motto. Give us an order. A covey of quail, thirty-two in number, supposed to have died of starvation; were found underneath a pile of railroad ties near the old water station, Greensburg. The citizens of Huntingdon are not a show going people, as is proven by the empty benches at the different entertainments which held forth here during the winter. The Altoona City Baud, one of the best in the State, will number twenty-four members during the coming summer. Altoonians have reason to feel proud of their bands. An attempt was made a few nights ago to burglarize the Osceola post-office, but the would-be burglar was frightened away before he succeeded in gaining an entrance. During the coming season the Cambria Iron Company propose to erect over one hundred houses in Johnstown. Wish lluntingdon had a Cambria Iron Company within her borders.

Some four or five of the prisoners now in our jail have their wrists adorned by "brace lets." Owing to the dilapidated and insecure condition of the prison this precaution is ne cessary. A trio of drunken rowdies disturbed the quiet of our neighboring town of Smithfield, on Sunday afternoon, by exhibitions of bru tality towards a poor old horse they were driving. The large steam flouring mill of Anderson & Metzgar,situate in the vicinity of Broad Avenu e and Nineteenth street, Altoona, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour on Saturday morning. The Commissioner of Pensions has so ar ranged for the payment of the arrears of pen sions that claim agents will bave nothing to do in the matter. The Bureau pays direct to the claimant. Over in Bellefonte, within the last ten days, some fifteen or twenty dogs have been sent to the bow-wows by a dose of "cold pizen," ad ministered by the hand of some hater of the canine race The several sessions of the Women's Foreign Mission Society, held in the Presbyterian church, io this place, last week, were largely attended, and the exercises were •highly in teresting and instructive. That North Carolina editor expresses our opinion exactly when be says that 'the man who will read a newspaper three or four years without paying for it will pasture a goat on the grave of his grandmother." If you want to get the worth of your money buy your segars at the JOURNAL Store, where none but the best in market are kept for sale. The two-for-five sold here are equal to half the five cent segars in the market. As only a couple of weeks intervene before the time for the legal taking of trout arrives, those disciples of old Isaak Walton who love to trail for the "speckled beauties" can look about them and gather up their tackle. A couple of Altoona's soiled doves were c aptured by the police, the other night, and caged in the lock-up, but when morning came the doves were invisible, having flown back to their cote during the wee sma' hours. Our old Teutonic fellow-citizen, Henry Hun - stein, who has been living at the alms-house for some time past, died at that institutiou on Monday, aged about 80 years. His remains were interred in this place on Wednesday. Van Stan's Stratena Cement at the JOURNAL Store. The best in the market for mending all kinds of articles, from the tiniest piece of china to a sett of harness. Only 25 cts. per. bottle. Every family should have a bottle. Two or three prisoners who escaped from the Fulton county jail, on Sunday morning a week ago, were recaptured and lodged in their old quarters.

The M'Veytown Journal entered upon its seventh volume last week, and "Coony" is proud of the success of his enterprise since its advent into the world of newspaperdom. May its future prosperity be all that its editor could desire. PERSONAL.-Should this meet the eye of the individual who created a disturbance in church last Sunday by his continued coughing, he will confer a favor on the congregation by procuring a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, which will cure him. Mr. Samuel Nosker, residing half way be tween Freedom and Claysburg, in Blair county , was found dead in his bed on Friday morning. The deceased was aged 70 years, and when be retired to bed the previous evening was en joying apparent good health. Our friend "Coony," of the Al'Veytown Journal, has gone to the trouble of counting noses of the old maids, widows and bachelors who reside in that town, and he gives the re sult of his labors as follows : Old maids, 29 ; widows, 37 ; old bachelors, 16. The Philadelphia Express, on Saturday night, snapped a steel rail in twain, opposite the Shoe Factory, as though it had been a pipe -stem, but fortunately no harm resulted from the accident. The rail was replaced by a good one on Sunday morning. The rowdy element of our town will save themselves a peck of trouble by mending their ways henceforth. Officer Westbrook has pnt the lock-up in excellent repair, and we under stand that it is his intention to arrest and con fine all persons caught misbehaving. We hear that the room above the post-office has been leased for school purposes during the coming summer. We hope the rumor is unfounded. The acquisition of fifty or sixty school children is not a very desirable addi tion to the population of any locality. Daniel Keller, ofWilliamsburg, Blair county, who had been employed as a freight brake man on the mountain division of the P. R. R., feel under the wheels, on Friday last, and was ground into a shameless mass, almost beyond the recognition of his most intimate friends. The little daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Schell, of Coudersport, has been lost, and the mother offers a reward of $2OO for information that will lead to her recovery. The child has light complexion, blue eyes and light hair, with a slight disfigurement of the neck on either side. Men in official position should "play the game fair" with those who were largely in strumental in securing them place ; and they should also remember that their lease of office will not last forever. To use a popular phrase of long ago, "Play the game fair, Ilogmire." Col. Bob Allen launched his row-boat on the placid waters of the "raging canawl" a day or two ago, and from this time on he can make up his mind to be annoyed by fellows wanting it "just to take a little ride." And Bob's so clever that he can't find it in his heart to re fuse them. We teara that our f tvid former 'owns man, Howard Carmon, who went to Fort Worth, Texas, last summer, is engaged in buying and selling cattle, shipping them from Fort Worth to New Orleans. We are pleased to know that "Tucker" is meeting with su:- c7 , ss in his new home in the Lone St r State. The copy of the Orbisonia Leader which reached us last week most have been printed with a very inferior quality of apple-buttar• We were not able to read more than half a dozen items in the.paper, and guess we could not have deciphered those had we not written the same items for the JOURNAL the week pre VIOUS Last week some jukist started the stury that five hundred Chinese laborers were being shipped here to work on the penitentiary reservoir, and there were any number of peo ple silly enough to give credence to the re port. It was really amusing to listen to the different views expressed in regard to the matter. We see by the programme of exercises of the approaching M. E. Conference, published in another column of to-day's JOURNAL, that our fellow-townsman, Rev. F. 13. Riddle, has been selected to preach the Annual Missionary Sermon on Friday, March 21, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Mr. Riddle is fully competent to discharge t he duty assigned him. Down in York county, the other evening, the members of the A. NI. E. Zion church, in that vicinity added a new feature to a church festival being held under their auspices. It was the slaying of a lamb in presence of the audience Every mother's eon of them, and daughter, too, should have been arrested and punished for cruelty to animals. An old German cordwainer, of Hollidays burg, whose head is silvered by the frosts of over sixty winters, has been arrested and held to bail to answer the charge of a breach of promise of marriage said to have been enter ed into between himself and a fair damsel of seventy, hailing from I►uncansville, in the same county. The naughty old man. The cellar under the store of Denny R Mc - Murtrie, corner of Fourth and Allegheny streets, was entered by thieves, on Monday night, and a sack of flour, 125 pounds of chop feed, oue side of meat, and a quantity of salt fish stolen therefrom. An entrance was ef fected by forcing the door. The robbers got away with their booty without detection. From the number of persons who are having their names enrolled as subscribers to "the handsomest and best paper in the county," we are led to believe that our efforts to get up a readable paper are fully appreciated by an intelligent public. We have room for all who come, and the more the better we will like it, Terms, only $! per annum, or $1 for six months. Roll in ! Our merchant friend, Mr. Bcuj. Jacob, went eastward on Monday night, to purchase his spring stock. While in New York and Phila delphia be will purchase goods for the mam moth Clothing and Gents' Furnishing Store he proposes opening in the room formerly oc cupied by Sammy March. But he will tell you all about it through the •olumns of the JOURNAL when he arrives at home. Huntingdon borough wants a new school house. One can be built to suit the place for —what? Will ten thousand dollars put it up —Perry County Freeman. No, sir. We expect the building to cost at least fifteen or eighteen thousand, independent of heating, seating, and furnishing. The new structure will be first-class ill all its appoint ments, and our people will not stop at a thousand or two to have it so. The "Huntingdon Poultry Association" was fully organized on Tuesday evening of this week, by the election of the following officers for the ensuing year: President. John Read; Vice President, Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh ; Secre tary, J. Hall Musser ; Treasurer, Wm. B. Zeig ler ; Directors, lion. Alex. Port, Dr. R. R. Weistling, C. C. North, Wm. Lewis, and S. E. Fleming. We will give full proceedings in our next issue. Huntingdon gave a large Republican ma jority at the recent election, and a resident of that place lost fourteen chickens the other night. The two items seem to have a sort of natural connection.—liollidaysbury Standard. They have, when we remember that the chickens were stolen from a part of the town thickly populated by Democrats, and the only Democratic ward in the borough, which "ac counts for the milk in the cocoa." There is a swindler traveling through the country soliciting subscribers for the Chris tian Messenger. His way of doing business is to make the subscriber pay twenty-five cents, the price of the paper, in advance, but the paper never appears.—Harrisburg Telegraph If he should make his appearance in our county we hope the readers of the JOURNAL will in form him that they have beard of him before, and understand his mode of doing business. Brother Over, of the Hollidaysburg Register, was a Mexican soldier. He don't get a pen sion, however—Congress didn't have a pen chant that way.—Johnstown Tribune. Besides being a good soldier, Brother Over is a sound Republican, one that has ever fought in the front ranks of the political bat tle of his party, and the Republicans of Blair county should nominate and elect him Sheriff, thus showing that if republics are ungrateful political parties are not. Some of the farmers, in a couple of town ships, down in Mifflin county, have taken the time and trouble to ascertain the acreage sown in wheat and oats, the number of bushel s of seed sown per acre, and the number yielded. The report is highly interesting, and if any of our agricultural patrons will take it upon themselves to gather the satistics of their re spective townships we will take pleasure in laying the same before our thoesands of readers. A little two-year old child of M:. Jacob Bar rick, of this place, had its arms, up to the elbows, badly scalded, on Monday last. The mother bad taken a boiler of scalding water off the stove and set it on the floor until she could replace the griddle on the stove, And while she was engaged in doing so the little ono toddled to the boiler and tumbled into it. It was immediately rescued by its mother, but not in time to prevent it from being severely scalded. We received a handsomely printed pro gramme, from Philadelphia, the other day, giving the order of performace at a concert to be given by the "Unique Orchestra," of that city, of which our young friend, I-larry W. Long, eiq., is a member. Barry occupies the responsible position of first coronet player, but being a first-class musician he will have no difficulty in performing his part to the en tire satisfaction of all concerned. - As "Flip" used to be one of "our boys" we feel a pride in his advancement. Here is an item of interest to tax collectors! which we copy from the Cambria Freeman : "Mr. Michael Quinn, tormer tax collector of Conemaugh borough, pleaded guilty at last session of our eounty Court to the charge of embezzling certain moneys collected by him in his official capacity. On Tuesday of last week, at the special term of Court, be was called before Judge Dean and received his sentence, which is a fine of $2,500 and im prisonment in the Western Penitentiary for a period of fourteen months." There seems to be a screw loose somewhere in the postal service, as scarcely a week passe s that complaints do not reach us concerning the late arrival of the JOURNAL at some of the offices off the main line. If the force is not sufficient for the proper distribution of mail matter between stations, the Government should at once remedy the evil by employing more help. There are plenty of "patriots' loose -.7110 would be williag i. assist the Department out of trou h le The Cassvillia.ns arc leaving Huntingdon sportsmen in the background. Seeing sever.' articles iu the JOURNAL recommending the sowing of wild rice seed along our streams, they at once set to work to make arrangements for the purchase of some, and at a meetia of their c'nb, one night last week, enough moiler wes in 7 ,serib - A and paid to ("table thew to send off fur several of sacd fur this put pose, which they did, and which they will sow at the proper season. Their prompt ac tion in this matter is worthy of imitation. The C'onferenee News, published at Harris burg, an organ of the M. E. church, dissents from the judgment of the clerical court that suspended Rev. Renben E. Wilson, of Mifflin town, from the ministry, and emphatically reiterates its belief that "he is guiltless of the crime charged." The case of Mr. Wilson will come up before the approaching Annual Con ference, where the gentleman will be impar_ tially tried, and we hope, for his sake, the sake of his friends, and the sake of the church, that he will he able to establish his innocence. A case that should be well advertised is thus reported in the Agitator of Wellsboro : A subscriber informs us that at the recent commissioners' sales a valuable farm, owned by a sharp business man, was sold to another person for $5O, the man holding the title not even knowing that it was offered for sale. When a neighbor expressed surprise that the owner didn't look after it, and asked him if he hadn't seen it advertised in the paper, he said no ; he hadn't spent a dollar for newspa pers since he was of age. This being the case, of course newspaper men are not called upon to waste any regrets over this sharp business man's loss. The following from an exchange hits several persons hereabouts to a hair line : We are often told : "You never give us a notice in your paper, while you are always puffing so and so." My dear sir here is the explanation: You do not do business with us ; perhaps you don't even take the paper; how can you ex pect that we should take. any interest in your business? whereas, those we do notice are people who trade with us ; the more of their business they give us, the more we strive to help them along, and those who give us all their business we consider it our duty to do all we can for them. You cannot expect an editor to be continually giving free notices to those who don't patronize him. A friend informs us that he was present at a public sale, several miles distant from this place, on Friday last, where he witnessed more hoggishness and bad manners than bad come under his notice for a long time. It is ens tomary, on such occasions, for the person sell ing, to get up a free lunch for the bidders in attendance. In this case the gentleman bad provided bountifully ofgoutl things, and when lunch was called several persons started for the table on a run, and when they reached it their conduct more resembled the actions of hogs, when called to a trough to feed, than that of human beings. They handled every thing within their reach, quickly filing their pockets, and with both bands full, hog like, retreated a little distance to gulph down their food. such conduct is disgusting to good mannered people. WELCOME BACK —Wesley W. Gary. caq., the inventor of the magnetic motor, and the man who has caused considerable excite ment in the scientific world during the last couple of years, after an absence of almost three years, returned to onr town on Sunday morning last, whither his family had preceded him a couple of weeks, and whore he received a warm welcome from his host of friends. We were pleased to take him by the hand and to learn that be was enjoying excellent health We do not know what length of time Mr. Gary will tarry with friends here, but presume his visit will not be an extended one. lie has worked hard and unceasingly for years to bring his motor to perfection, and although lie has not accomplished all that be proposes to do, he has at least demonstrated to the world that it will do all that he claims for it, and at last his labors are crowned with success, and he is reaping some pecuniary benefit for the years of worriment and toil he has devoted to his invention. A company was formed in Boston, with ample means, who have pur chased a half interest in another invention of Mr. Gary's which is on the eve of revolution izing the telegraphing system of the world . By the use of this invention no battery is needed, and by the saving of the heavy ex pense of keeping up the batteries the different companies having the right to use this patent. would be able to bring down the price of tele graphing to a mere song. For this half in terest, which is indei , endent of his motor, Mr. Gary received $23,000 cash, and is retained at a handsome salary to superintend the man ufacture of the instruments necessary to the working of his invention. Mr. Gary informs us that he is desirous of erecting in this place suitable buildings for the manufacture of these articles, and that if a company can be formed, and the money raised, of which he will put in his share, he will do it at once, and that al ready the demand for them is sufficient to em ploy from forty to fifty men in their manu facture. Just here ge would intimate that perhaps this proposition might be worthy the attention of our Board of Trade, and we re spectfully invite the wide-awake gentlemen composing the Board to look at and examine it. T'ue many warm personal friends of Mr. Gary wilt be pleased to bear of his good for tune, and they will be doubly pleased if such arrangements can be consummated as will enable him to establish his proposed manu factory iu our midst. GOING To "PUSH THINGS."—Our awake and clever friend, J. A. Brown, esq., proprietor of the largest and most complete Furniture and Carpet Store Outside of the large cities, has secured the services of Ferd Koch , one of Huntingdon's most energetic young men, to assist him in his largely increasing trade. During a portion of the time Mr. Koch will travel the county to measure rooms and take orders for Carpets, Wall Paper, Furniture, &c., from samples and illustrations. This is a new feature, and we think a very good one , which will enable people at a distance to pur chase just what they want without coming to town. Messrs. Brown and Koch are accom modating gentlemen, and they deserve success in their efforts to "push things." Persons givings this house their order can depend upon their goods being exactly as represented. TO COFFEE DRINKERS.—Be rareful when you get or buy your coffee. I have found that unless you buy your coffee green and roast it yourself, you will not get it good. I knew a coffee merchant who bought a cargo of coffee. It appeared as if it was only fit to be thrown on a dunghill, being mouldy and as black as coal. He put it in a large cylinder' ten bags at a time, introduced steam. and then put in red paint. lie turned the cylinder 300 revolutions and it came out something like coffee, the red paint, of course, not being visible. It would perhaps, bring about three cents a pound. I said : "Are you not afraid of poisoning people ?" His answer was : "That is the way to make money." Now take a friend's advice : buy your coffee green, and roast and grind it yourself, the old fashioned way ; then you will have good coffee. Discard all those plans of purchasing all kinds of so-called roasted and ground coffee.—Ex. WALL PAPER and CARPETS, fresh from New York and Philadelphia; splendid styles and low prices, at BROWN'S CARPET STORE. march 14-2 t. A ettri LIT KO 1; Y E!'tDICT. —A session of court Reid in Ilifilintown, Ju niata county, i.,st week, for the purpose of trying a case, upon a change of venue from Mifflin county, in which a number of our cit izens were financially interested. The case was that of tine bondsmen ofJackaon Lamber doll againstthe county of Mifflin ; to recoverscv crg.l thousand dollars wh;ch:tbey claitneti dile :hem oa thee,otraLt of lire NUlltrilentq or the Isridge rpanninp• tin; Jut.iara at Lewistown. la lieu of v.:iat we might say in giving a history of the case we copy the following from the Juniata Tribune of last week : "Jackson Lamberson had entered into a con tract with the Commissioners ofMiftlin county to furnish material and erect the piers and abutments of the county bridge at the west end of Lea istown Borough, and Ira Jenkins, Joseph R. Cannon, George A. Port, Thomas W. Montgomery, William L: Bricker, and David Mingle, the plaintiffs in this case, be came his sureties for the performance of his contract.. After Lamberson had done part of the work he failed, and .was unable to com plete his contract, and the plaintiffs, his bonds men, completed the masonry included in Lam bersou's contract, and did extra work which was made necessary by a change of the plan of the bridge. The plaintiffs aver that the Commissioners released Lamberson from his contract by consenting that he should quit work, and that at the time he quit there was due to him for extra work $555 and percent age retained on contract, $1,480, and that at the time or shortly after Lamberson quit these plaintiffs were notified, and that they met the Commissioners at their office, in Lewistown, and claimed their release upon several grounds, the principal of which was that they (the commissioners) had prevented Lamberson from finishing his contract by not paying him at the times specified in said contract, so that he could pay the men who worked for him, who, for his failure to pay, refused to work for him. That then the Commissioners made a new contract with these plaintiffs, by which they were to complete Lamberson's contract, and also to do the extra work at a certain price per perch, and that under this contract the work was completed and the result ac cepted by the county, and that there was due to them over and above all eredits the sum of $5,000, of which defendant disputes $2.500. • "The defense admit the contract with Lam bersou, but deny ladies upon their part by any default of payment or otherwise, and aver that they urged Lamberson forward in the work, and assisted him to obtain materials by becoming responsible to those who furn ished these materials ; that Lamberson failed to complete the work in the time specified in the contract, and finally abandoned it alto gether ; that they notified his securities, who came on to see about it; that these securities undertook to complete the Lamberson con tract to save themselves ; that they did not promise to pay these plaintiffs a percentage retained, but said it would be due to Limber son or whoever completed the contract when the contract was completed; that they did not contract with these plaintiffs or Lamber son to build the abatmeut on the north side of the river, but that it was built by Kephart, and under a direct contract with the Commis stoners and was not extra work, provided for in the contract. That Lamberson had given orders to his working men and had entered into an agreement with Leahey and Duffey, his sub contractors, that he would leave in the hands of the Commissioners a sufficient sum of money to pay those for their work, and that when the masouery was completed there al ose a dispute as to who was to rec eive this money, Lamberson, Leahy and Duffy and the workmen or these plaintiffs, and for that reason the part of the money in controversy is disputed as being due upon the building of the piers, etc., is withheld. R. Milton Speer, Marks and Duty, Sr., for plaintiff; Reed, Utley and E. D. Parker, for defendants." The amount claimed by our townsmen was $6,200.00, but the jury, after mature delibera tion, awarded them $4,972.06, being $1,227. 94 less than the original claim. While they think that they were justly entitled to the full amount claimed, they n3vertheless are content with the verdict. This sum will about let them out without personal loss, without allowing them any remuneration for thei r time and trouble in preparing and trying the case PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL CONFERENCE. Tho M. E.

I dont deny I was a green Backer, but we do not know what is in store for us in this world. We have been in great trouble in Union here every Since the Election last month. We put our ledear, we thought the best man we had, one that had Sacrificed every day and hour he could in defence of his Country for the last three years, went days, and many miles to lit• tle Road views, &C, where the Connty would not have lost a cent, but See how Careful—and dont you think when we asked the People to elect him justice of the Peace, they Shame fully Sacrificed him on the aulterof his Coun try And when our extreeme grief was just sub siding a leetle, Our beloved orgin, the Nation aliat, failed to Come to time. another blow, seemed to rest upon our devoted heads, but I tried to Comfort our friends and told them Bro Doyle I thought might get an appropria tion, or something turn up for the poor thing yet. But oh amagine our felinks, when we bor rowed your Paper last friday, and their saw it was dead. And I jest thout Shereden School House, where we had rich good meetins last year, a Suitable place to heve the meetin Called, and sent wurd to our frends in eass to meat us thare to pass resolutions, &C. of course, under the aflicting Circumstances the meetin was small, and in deed I dident sea a dry eye in the [louse. I tried to be as Com posed as I could, and red the hytn, 'Hark from the tombes a doleful Sound,' &C., and reques ted Some one to rise the tune. but all, of all acord, seemed unable to suppress there emo tion, and it were a very meltin time in deed. 1 never did see the force of that pasage of scripter before, which says they "hung there fiddles on the wilier trees." I then tried to State the objeck of the meet in; sayin as this was last year the Green Spot of Green Backiam in this co. I thought it the most Suitable place to assemble on this occa sion. I was jest then interupted by some 'fast' Boy back in the Corner calling out "Green headism." I jest wondered if his father was their how he must feel. Well, as all Seemed too much rought on, it was imposible for me to quiet there feeling, and a Commitee of two of the Brutheren from Cass and two from Union were appointed to draft the folerin resolutions, which was passed magnimousiy ; 1 Resolved, that if Bro. Doyle Comes to Huntingdon, and Preaches the funeral of the departed, we will attend en mass. 2 Resolved, that all the members in good Standing in these Townships, Sympathise with our beloved Bruthrin in Huntingdon, and that we still retain full confidence in them that they will interduce to the very next hum bug, or side show, that Comes along. 3 Resolved, that in the loss of our Moses, we will try to bear it with fortytude, knowing in the language of Job, that '•his loss is our eternal gain."' Amen. There were several other motions but could not be acted on inteligently under the present aflicting circumstances and general broken hearted ness. _ _ . One feller moved that we all jine the Repub lican party ou probation, which would have carried, but another feller said he believed Speer would take us into full membership at once. Resolved that these proceedings be printed in the HUNTINGDON JOURNAL, as we can do no better, and a copy sent to each Candidate that we elected in Huntingdon Borough the last election, the only place in the county that we could make ourselves felt. Respectfully Youres, GREEN BACKER, In Afliction EDITOR JOURNAL have heard it said that in Harrisburg we now have the greatest Gas factory known in the United States, except the last Congress. We have wondered that in all their blowing and snorting, they don't acci dentally blunder on some little fool thing that would be a benefit to somebody. If they would just pass a law excusing all the consta bles in this county from running to the coun ty seat every Court to make returns, unless they have something to return, and also, an act to prevent the County Commissioners at tending every little road or bridge view in the county, at the expense of the county, as they seldom, if ever, know what toe report wiii ue till it is returned, when they have ample time to see it ; and we Lever heard of a commission er's presence changing the minds of six mea under oath, would be doing more for this coon ty than we realize out of nine years out of ten as a general thing by legislation. They seem greatly exercised to devise means to raise the taxes. Whv Dot a little attention by some good, libemil soul to try to save a little ? From their course they uia.t thiuk we imagine it a glorious privilege to pay taxes, even trying to ding in our sewing wiienineq.

Its symptoms are alwobt infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and despondent victims of the diseases often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of every known malady. This is due, in part, to the close sympatay which exists between the stomach and the brain, and in part also to the fact that any disturbance of the digestive function necessarily disorders the liver, the .bowels and the nervous system, and aiTects, to some extent, the quality of the blood. 3566 50024 28323 E.
