Mt. Union Republicans, the issues involved in the coming election of your county ticket, after being nomi nated by the delegates who may be chosen by you, in connection with your Presidential and State tickets, are of the highest consideration and im portance, and you are earnestly urged and re quested to act accordingly. All depends upon your action and votes in securing the results of victory after the nominations have been made. Your principles and policy, which, for years past have successfully, in war and peace, guided and controlled the government of our great and grow ing Republic, should again win the fight. Shall your principles again win in the coming contest, or shall those who have always opposed them triumph over you, depends for their solution on your action and votes for Gen. Garfield in Novem ber next. JOHN W. MATTERN, Chairman of Co. Committee. ORGANIZE a Republican campaign club in every election district in the county. llANcocK's letter of acceptance is yet to be written, and Jerry Black thousands of miles away ! TILE N. Y. Tribune says that "the Dem ocrats have reduced the army to one 'su perb soldier.' " WE have not heard of a single Republi can in this county who will vote for Han cock, and we don't believe there is one. THE confederacy has crawled into a West Point uniform 'thinking to conceal its gray clothes, but the ruse won't win. A DEMOCRATIC Justice of the Peace, down in Dauphin county, committed a man to prison for calling him a copper head. TUE blue and grey don't blend together, hence the odd spectacle of the Confederate Democracy throwing up their hats for one of "Lincoln's hirelings." A MEETING of the Republican State Central Committee will be held in Phila delphia, on Thursday of next week, for the purpose of organization. THE Egyptian ;obelisk arrived at New York on Tuesday morning in good condi tion. The stone is about seventy feet long and weighs two hundred tons. CIIASTINE Cox, the negro who murder- ed Mrs. Dr. Hull, in New York city, on the night of June 10, 1879, was hanged, in the same city, on Friday last. Losr, strayed or stolen—The Hancock boom. The fellows who used to call the "superb" such ugly names find it an up hill business to shout his praises now. WHEN Chicago was flame.swept, Mr. English, the Democratic nominee for Vice President, who is said to be worth $2,000,- 000, donated the magnificent sum of one dollar to the relief fund JUDGE BAKER'S Perry County Free man came to ns last week dressed in a new suit and sporting a handsome new heading. The paper is stalwart Republican, and merits the apparent prosperity attending it,. TILE boys in blue know the rebel yell when they hear it, and they know what that yell implies. So the rebel yell for Hancock which we hear coming from the South will not gain him any votes up North. FORNEY iS now busily engaged eating the "crow" cooked by himself when he was editor of the Press. Poor Forney ! Andy Johnson and the Democracy were pretty near the mark when they called a "dead duck." TUE Bedford Gazette, in speaking of Forney's political flip-flop, says :that "his last service tc the Democratic party was as chairman of the Statc committee in 1856.'Y The Gazette is either ignorant of the fact that Ferney was a bitter opponent of Gen liartranft in 1872, or it gets down to base falsehood in its endeavors to make political capital. It is of small moment to Repub- licans where Forney is found, his political somersaults have been so frequent that he has no influence in any party: DON PIATT'S Washington Coint,,/, which seldom has anything good to say of Republicans, comes out on the side of Gar. field. In the campaign of vituperation that has been inaugurated against bim, Piatt says : "We advise the mud-machine, called partisan papers, that attempts at blackening Gartield's character will be signal Iltilures, and will be met by pro tests from such eminent Democrats as the Hons. Jeremiah Black, Allen Thurman and Justice Field, who have already put, themselves on record in his behalf. Gar field's purity is so thorough that it gives him a perilous confidence in men, and has got him into trouble precisely as a confi ding boy gets into scrape.. In that Credit Mobilier affair, fur example, we know, and have so testified, that at the very time it was claimed he was scheming to enrich himself through Ames' rascility, he was 'shinning' about Washington striving to borrow $3OO to pay house rent. He has not only lived in the open air, but has occupied positions, where, like other lead ers, he could have winked himself into millions. lie holds to-day the honored position of being the only poor man among political leaders." Editor. GEL HANCOCK, in Democratic estima tion, has greatly improved since 1865. The Democrats did not speak of him then exactly as they do now. He was a "mili tary tyrant," a "Lincoln hireling" and "murderer" then when he was stringing up Democrats and choking them to death on the gallows, in pursuance of the orders of a military court. When he disregarded the habeas corpus writ of a military court in Washington, and refused to deliver the body of old Mrs. Surratt until the wind was choked Gut of it, the Democratic journals were not loud in praising Han cock's lofty views of the supremacy of the civil over the military laws ! A change has come over the spirit of Democratic dreams since that hanging day. WE have flung an American flag to the breeze from the third•story window of the JOURNAL building, bearing upon its folds the names of the next President and Vice President—Garfield and Arthur—and we give fair notice that if any rebel feels like paying us a visit he will have to walk un der it, for we will not lower that proud rag as Hancock did at New Orleans to satisfy the traitor Beauregard. The man who would disgrace the banner of his country to please a whipped traitor is not a fit person to entrust with the affairs of this nation. ... 3 Garfield was once a mule-whacker. while Han cock was always a gentleman.—Boston Post. The hard fisted sons of toil can see by the above that the Hancock masters look with disdain on the laboring classes. The "mule-whacker" is the architect of his own proud position, while Hancock was educa ted at the expense of the Nation. Such snobbery will receive a fitting rebuke at the hands of the toiling millions of the North next November. IMPUDENCE UNPARALLELED !—Robert Hanna, a rebel soldier belonging to Com pany G, Fifteenth Regiment South Caroli na Confederate States of America, who lost an arm in fighting against the Union, has just applied for a pension through the pension agency of W. Fitzgerald, esq., of Washington. D. C. If Hancock could be elected every disabled rebel soldier in the land would be granted a pension. GEN. GRANT was in Denver, Col , on Monday, and in an interview said : "I can say without hesitation that I will give General Garfield my hearty support. There is no reason why any Republican should not vote for Garfield. I know him to be a man of talent, thoroughly accom plished and upright. I have nothing against General llarreock, but Garfield is the man for the office." Break the radical lines at every point.—Altoona San. The fellows who nominated Hancock at Cincinnati tried to break our lines at Get tysburg, and their effort to do so in No vember will be as great a failure as it was on those memorable July days when the gallant Hancock was lying wounded and bleeding from the effects of a Democratic cannon ball. HARRISBURG has lost one of its wealth iest, most respected and useful citizens by the death of Wm. Calder, which event oc curred in that city on Monday last. The deceased was a prominent Republican, and stood high with his party, having been chosen a Presidential Elector in 1572. He was born July 31, IS2I, and at the time of his death lacked a few days of being fifty-nine years of age. WE would call attention to the excel lent oration delivered by Milton S. Lytle, esq., at the Pennsylvania State College, during the commencement last month, which will be found on our first page. It presents the most advanced views upon some of the leading questions of the day and will repay close and careful perusal. QUITE a severe storm of wind and rain prevailed over eastern portions of the State on Tuesday afternoon, doing much damage to property and crops. In several places numbers of cattle were killed by lightning, the roads flooded and travel impeded. July seems to be noted for its violent and destructive storms. EVERY person should read the manly and able letter of Gen. Arthur, published in another column. lle don't mince mat ters in the least, but speaks out boldly in defence of the principles of the party which saved the country from destruction when assailed by traitors both North and South. HORACE GREELEY once wrote : "No commander in the Southern States has in terfered with the civil authority more than Gen. llancock." This was his idea of statesmanship. Greeley was the Democratic candidate for President in 1872. lle ought to be good Democratic authority. IT is not promotive of sectional affilia tion and reconciliation for the Democrats to threaten us with a solid South. The rational answer to a solid South is a solid North. No other response is conceivable, and that will be our .response in Novem ber. THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES.—The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Re serve t',.rps wls hell in Harrisburg on Thursday of last week, and was attended by about one hundred and fifty members. Owing to severe indisposition Gov. Hoyt was unable to take part in the priteeedings. The oration of the day was delivered by I R. M. Henderson, or Lebanon, and addres•;es were made by Mayor Patterson, of Harrisburg; S. Wiley Crawford, United States army ; General Robert Patterson , Colonel William B. Mann, of Philadel phia, and ex-Gdvernor Curtin. Letters of regret were received from a number of prominent persons, am on g th em G enera l s Garfield and Hancock. The present officers were re elected. BellefOnte was selected as the place of meeting next year, the date to be fixed by the board of officers. QUITE a number of Republican editors are just now engaged in championing the claims of their favorites for Mr. Wallace's place in the United States Senate. They had better devote their attention to getting the party in fighting trim so that we can elect the Legislature and thus secure a Republican successor to the coffee pot manipulator. GEN. HANCOCK is likely to discover that the l'residential bee which worked its way into his military bonnet when ho went to Louisiana in the interest of "my policy," as laid down by Andy Johnson, was not to his advantage in point of reputation as a soldier. THE Tyrone 11 , ruld put in an appear ancc last week with a patent outside and greatly reduced in size, but this state of things will not exist longer than brother Jones can get his office equipped with new material, when the Herith/ will be itself again. TILDEN 13 reported to have given his cheek f9r $lOO,OOO to help along the .'h.st cause" by the election of Hancock. We presume this sum is part of what he defrauded the Government out of by his false revenue returns. . _ The National Capital. A GLIMPSE AT THE SITUATION-POUT• IC.%L POINTS AS THEY SEEM TO POINT OUT. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 10, 1880. EDITOR JOURNAL: It Seems, to a Republican, almost an impossibility to sit quietly and read the many virtues of the great Democratic party that are daily being heralded to the world through the lying press of that party. One would think that the country had gone to the d-1 already, and will be sunk to perdition should Republicans retain control of the Governtnent another four years. Let us take a glance at the condition of affairs, during the past four years, and see how the ruin has been brought about: In 1860, after twenty years of Democratic rule, a Government six per cent bond sphl for eighty nine cents. In 1880, after twenty years of Re publican rule, a Government four per cent. bond sells for £l.OB. In 1860, under Democratic rule, $18,000.000 loan exhausted the market for six months, and at the end of twenty years, of Republican rule, a loan of $150,00d,000 was taken in a single day. In 1860, after a Democratic rule of twenty years, the balance of trade against the country was over $20,000,000. In June, 1880, atter Republican rule of twenty years, the bal _nee of trade in favor of the country was over $162,000,000. These are facts. How do they look ? In 1500, after twenty years of Democratic rule and teaching, there was a question whether or not this was a Nation. These were days when Jere miah S. Black was the adviser of the old fogy, Jae. Buchanan, the same gentleman who now furnishes the statesmanship for General IV. S. Hancock, and who announced, through his legal opinion as At torney General of the United States, that "there was no power in the Government to coerce a State." leaving the inference that Jeff Davis and Alex. Stephens could send the country to the devil for all that James Buchanan, as President, could do to prevent it. No doubt that same Jeremiah Black, Alex. Stephens and others, would give con siderable to have the people forget their acts and deeds during those trying times. This kind of ruin is rather popular in this country. The people like it, and call for more of the same sort, and no doubt they will have it, too. Can General Hancock give that sort of ruin ? We fear not. It would, indeed, be a sorry sight to see Presi dent Hancock, once a Union General, fighting for the supremacy of the Nation, endorsing and car rying out the nullification schemes of the Southern Brigadiers, and undoing all that he, as a patriotic soldier, fought and struggled to maintain. Yet we should not doubt his inclination to do so. His famous General Order "N 0.40," while commanding the Fifth District of the department of the gulf, makes it very manifest that he is fully capable of so doing, and that be will do it, if elected, there is no doubt. Ilanceck's election would be the triumph of principles which once so nearly de stroyed the Union, and would place in power the men who fought to destroy it. Gen. Hancock represents the Democratic party, which was the party of the Rebellion, and is now, so far as the relics of that bloody attempt to overthrow the Be public continues to exist. So, in that, he repre sents ever murder that has been committed in the name of the Democracy since the war, every out rage upon the rights of freedom and citizenship, every false count and every wrong that has been perpetrated by the Democratic party. The popular admiration of a soldier—a Union General—has been taken advantage of by the Cincinnati Convention, and no doubt will be one of the great themes in their campaign. Of course, no orator of character will seek to depreciate the services of the opposing military candidate, unless their failure as a general was conspicuous. They are regarded as the representatives of a certain policy, hence it follows that personal criticism is made solely upon the ground of political sentiment or action. From this--a kind of idolatry—a very grave mischief may easily spring. A soldier, no matter how good or able, is not of necessity a good civil magistrate nor a statesman, coming as he does from the military camp. Indeed, there are: reasons why General W. S. Hancock should be a peculiarly poor statesman. The law under which he has been trained is military law, and military law is despotic. Now the security in many cases heretofore has been in the fact that the military heroes are only civilians having been re-absorbed into civil life when the war ended.— Grant, it is true, had 3 West Point education, but was a tanner in the spring of 1861. Sherman was a banker and Barnsides was a railroad man. All had mixed in politics, but not so with Hancock. He was a West Point graduate, and has been in the army ever since. There was indeed a strong prejudice against West. Point when the warbegan, not because it was doubted that young men there received a good military education, but because the Political influence of the school was believed to be unfecarable to the Satiunal Gurernment.— The influence was thought to have helped foster the silly notion that it was gentlemanly to be a rebel and indifferent to human rights. Conse quently the Military Academy was a hot-bed of treason, especially if a cadet chanced to be a Dem ocrat, as most all were that had been appointed for twenty years prior to 1560, Haw:look included, who is the aristocrat of them all. But on the other hand, we find thousands of officers of the war who did not receive their education at West Point, who, as commending trenerals,•were as successful, if net more so, than West Pointers, not only as military men, but as civilians and statesmen.— One, for instance, whose praise is on every one's lips, whose career, as a soldier, had not his equals, and whose record, as a statesman, cannot be sur passed. I have reference to General James A. Garfield, the Republican nominee for President of the United States. General Garfield is a typi,al American citizen, of strong native sense, of great natural knowledge of men, and long and faithful experience as a statesman. One of the ablest statesmen, an earnest and effective representative in Congress, with lion like spirit opposing the beginning of the Rebellion, one of the earliest soldiers of the war, and one of the asset efficient and successful. General Gar field respects his double star enough to give his tongue in all his acts in Congress, whert he gave his sword and his blood, and has maintained, by eloquence, the principles which he defended in battle. Such men as Generak Garfield are the strength of the country, arid the country knows it. A nation and a party, at the head of which stands General James A. Garfield, can well he trusted. The intelligence which saved it from forcible overthrow will secure it against being outwitted. The strong sense that was deaf to Leo's cannon at Richmond, Petersburg and Ap pomattox, will hardly be persuaded by the glib tongues of his soldiers, trained Representatives and Senators, nor by the action of their northern allies, as sanctioned by the Convention at Cincinnati, June 24th, ISSO. To every soldier of the war I say stick to your guns. Vote as you shot—against the Democratic party. Already the brigadiers of the South are circulating in the North. Already the agents of the "Lost Cause" are building on the hopes of draining the public treasury. To my Republican friends I would say c work, work, work, and make sure work. We do not want a"7 to 8." The National Congress must not settle the question this time—the people must settle it—aud in order to do so, they must be up and doing. VIATOR. GEN.AIITHUR ACCEPTS. Lett©r of Acceptance of the Republican Candidate for Vice-President. An Able and Interesting Document---Leading Features of the Letter---Rebel War Olaims Denounced—Popu lar Education Advocated---Internal Improvements Endorsed---Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Eto., Etc. sE W YORK, oly Is, I eso.—Pear : I accept the position assigned um by the great party whose acti, n you antiounce. Tnis acceptance implies approval oft he principles declared, by the Conven tion, but recent usage permits we to a Id same ex pression of my own views. The right and duty to secure honesty and order in popular elections is a matter so vital that it must stand in front. The authority of the National Government to preserve from fraud and force elections at which its own officers are chosen is a chief point on which the two parties are plainly and intensely opposed. Acts of Congress for ten years have, in New York and elsewhere, done much to curb the violence and wrong to which the ballot and the count have been again and again subjected—sometimes despoiling great cities, sometimes stifling the voice of a whole State, often seatine, not only in Congress, but on the bench and in Legislatures, numbers of men never chosen by the people. The Democrat ic party since gaining possession of the two Houses of Congress has made these just laws the object of bitter, ceaseless assault, and, despite ali resistance, has heged them with restrictions cunningly con trived to bafile and paralyze them. This aggres sive majority boldly attempted to extort from the Executive his approval of various enactments destructive of these election laws, by revolutionary threats that a constitutional exercise of the veto power would be punished by withholding the ap propriations necessary to carry on the Government. And these threats were actually carried out by re fusing the needed appropriations and by forcing an extra session of Congress, lasting for months and resulting in concessions to this usurping de• mand, which are likely, in many States, to sub ject the majority to the lawless will of a minority. Ominous signs of public disapproval alone sub dued this arrogant power into a sullen surrender for the time being of a part of its demands. The Republican party has strongly approved the stern refusal of its representatives to suffer the over throw of statues believed to be salutary and ju.t. It has always insisted, and now insists, that the Government of the United States of America is empowered and in duty bound to effectually pro tect the elections denoted by the Constitution as National. More than this, the Republican party holds, as a cardinal point in its creed, that the Government should by every means known to the Constitution, protect all American citizens every where in the full enjoyment of their civil and po litical rights. As a great part of its work of re construction, the Republican party gave the ballot to the emancipated slave as his right and defense. A large increase in the number of members of Congress and of the Electoral College from the former slaveholding States was the immediate re sult. The history of recent years abounds in evidence that in many ways and in many places— especially where their number has L beeu' great enough to endanger bemocratic control—the very meg by whose elevation to citizenship this in crease of representation was effected have been debarred and robbed of their voice and their vote. It is true that no State statute or Constitution in so many words denies or abridges the exorcise of their political rights; but the modes employed to bar their way are no less effectual. It is a sug gestive and startling thought that the increased power derived from the enfranchisement of a race now denied its share in governing the country— wielded by those who I ttely sought the overtohrw of the Government—is now the so e reliance to de feat the party which represented the sovereignty and nationality of the American people in the greatest crisis of our history. Republicans cherish none of the resentments which may have animated them during the actual conflict of arms. They long for a full and real reconciliation between the sections which were needlessly and lamentably at strife; they sincerely offer the hand of good-will, but they ask in return a pledge of good faith. They deeply feel that the party, whose career is so illustrious in great and patriotic achievement, will not fulfill its destinyuntil peace and prosperi ty are established in all the laud, nor until liberty of thought, conscience and action, and equality of opportunity shall be not merely cold formalities ot• statute, but living birth-rights, which the hum ble may confidently claim and the powerful dare not deny_ The resolution referring to the public service seems to me deserving of approval. Surely no man should be the incumbent of an office the duties of which he is for any cause unfit to per form, who is lacking in the ability, fidelity or in tegrity which a proper administration of such office demands. This sentiment would doubtless meet with general acquiescence, bat opinion has been widely divided upon the wisdom and practi cability of the various reformatory schemes which have been suggested and of certain proposed regu lations governing appointments to public office. The efficiency of such :osculations has been dis trusted mainly because they have seemed to exalt mere educational and abstract tests about general business capacity and even special fitness for the particular work on hand. It seems to me that the rules which should be applied to the management of the public service may properly conform in the main to such as regulate the conduct of successful private business. Original appointments should be based upon ascertained fitness. The tenure of office should be stable. Positions of responsibility should so far as practicable be filled by the promo tion of worthy and efficient officers. The investi gation of all complaints and the punishment of all official misconduct should be prompt and thorough. These views, which I have long held, repeatedly declared, and uniformly applied when called upon to act, I find embodied in the resolu tion, which of course I approve. I will add that, by the acceptance of public office, whether high or low, one does not, in my judgment, escape any of its responsibilities as a citizen or lose or impair any of his rights as a citizen, and that he should enjoy absolute liberty to think and speak and act in political matters according to his own will and conscience, provided only that he honorably, faithfully and fully discharges all his official du ties. The resumption of specie payment=—ono of the fruits of Republican policy—has brought the re turn of abundant prosperity, and the settlement of many distracting questions. The restoration of sound money, the large reduction of our public debt and of the burden of interest, the high ad vancement of the public credit, all attest the abili ty and courage of the Republican party to deal with such financial problems as may hereafter de mand solution. Our paper currency is now as good as gold, and silver is performing its legiti mate function for the purposes of change. The principles which should govern the relations ,of these elements of the currency are simple and clear. There must be no deteriorated coin, no depreciated paper. And every dollar, whether of metal or paper, should stand the test of the world's fixed standard. The value of popular education can hardly be overstated. Although its interests must of neces sity be chiefly conflded to voluntary effort and the individual action of the several States, they should be encouraged so far as the Constitution permits, by the generous co-operation of the National (lovernment. The interests of the whole country demand that the advantages of our common school system should be :brought within the reach of every citizen, and that no revenues of the nation or of the States should be devoted to the support of sectarian schools. Such changes should be made in the present tariff and system of taxation as will relieve any overburdened ,industry or class, and enable our manufacturers and artisans to compete successfully with those of other lands. The Government should aid works of internal improvement national in their character, and should promote the development of our water courses and harbors wherever the general interests of commerce require. Four years ago, as now, the Nation stood at the threshold of a Presidential election, and the Re publican party, in soliciting a continuance of its ascendancy, founded its hope of success, not upon its promises, but upon its history. Its subsequent coarse has been such as to strengthen the claims 'which it then made to the contidencte and support of the country. On the other hand, oonsiderations more urgent than have ever before existed forbid the a.ccessson of its opponents to power. Their success, if success attends them, must chiefly come from the united support of that section which sought the forcible disruption of the Union, and which, according to all the teachings of our past history, will demand ascendancy in the councils of the party to whose triumph it will have made by far the largest contribution. There is the gravest reason for apprehension that exorbitant claims upon the public Treasury, by no means limited to the hundreds of millions already covered by bills introduced in Congress within the past leer years, would be suocessfully urged if the Democratic party should suoceed in supplementing its pr,sent control of the National Legislature by electing the Executive also. There is danger in intrusting the control of the whole law-making power of the Government to a party which has in almost every Southern State repudiated obligations quite as sacred as those to which the faith of the Nation now stands pledged. I do not doubt that success awaits the Republi can party, and that its triumph will assure a just, economical and patriotio Administration. I am, respectfully, Soar obedient servant, C. A. ARTHUR.

I I I • In a far-off I.:Astern rite, A pretty mail let Who, was determined neter Iler hart and hand to give To, a living human ereate,, Unless almost. dlviue ; She had a pour opinion oof The gender mescaline. First a young mechanic asked her It she would be his bride. "No! I'll wed no poor mechanic," She haughtily replied. "I was born for something better, I'd have you understand ; You are bold in your presumption To ask of me my hand !'' Then a beardless dandy wAm.si her Ile had an oily tongue, But as no mustache had started, Because he was so young. She gave him such a gentle hint, As led him to infer That he must raise some whiskers ere, He raised his eves to her. Overwhelmed with disappointment, And almost in despair, That his chance to win the maiden Hung on a ajar/is hair, He went off and took a julip: In that he drowned his woe; He did not blow his brains out, for Ile had no trains to Glow. Then there came another suitor To win the maiden fair; He was not a tear-faced wooer, But muzzled like a Gear; He had a fine imperial, Moustache, and whiskers, curled, And a lordly air about him, As if he owned'the world. 'Twas said he was a foreign count, Incognito while here, And had at brine a shady park, With room for one more dear. He thought the maiden of our song Would find herself in luck For, wedding him, the happy dear Would get a fine young buck. They met, and when the fair one gazed Upon his whiskers fine, She felt that she bad found at last The paragon divine. They courted through the summer months, And married in the fall; She gave her heart and hand, and he (lave heard, moustache, and all. One night they passed in pleasant dreams, A happy wedded I air ; But ah, alas ! the next morn's light Brought sorrow and despair. The count arose and washed his face, But fear o'erwhelmed his soul : The glue had started, and he left His whiskers in the bowl. The wife looked up, she saw his face Smooth as a new-mown lawn; Save here and there a single hair, Ills whiskers all were gone. She swooned and fell upon the floor, Her reason overthrown ; The COUlli secured her jewelry, Aud left . /..)r parts unknown.

KENDALL'S SPAVIN CURE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL. REMEDY ever discovered, as it is certain in its effects and does not blister. READ PROOF BELOW. From Rev. P. N. Granger, Presiding Eller of the St. Albans District. ST. ALBANS, VT., Jan. 20th, 1880.—Dr. B. J. Kendall & Ca., Gents:—ln reply to your letter will say that my experience with "Kendall's Spav is Cure" has been very satisfactory indeed. Three or four vears ago I procured a bottle of your agent, and with it, cured a horse of lameness caused by a spavin. Last season my horse became very lame and I turned him out for a few weeks when be became better, but when I put him on the road he grew worse, when I discovered that a ringbone was forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spa vin Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so that he is not latne,neithercan the bunch be found. Respectfully Yours, P. N. GRANGER. PERSEVERANCE WILL TELL STOUGHTON, Mass., March 16th, 1880.-11. J. Kendall d• en., Gents :—lnjustice to you and my self, I think I ought to let you know that I have removed two bone spaying with" Kendall's Spavin Cure," one very large one, don't know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take tbe large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is entirely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does for all what it has done for me its sale will be very great Respectfully — Yours, CHAS. E. PARKER. KENDALL'S SPAVIN CORE is sure in its effects, mild in its action as it does not blister, yet it is. penetrating and powerful to reach every deep-sea ted pain or to remove any bony growth or other enlargement, such as sprains, splints,curbs,calious, sprains, swellings, any lameness and all enlarge ments of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in man, and for any purpose for which a liniment is used for man or beast. It is now known to be the best liniment for man ever used, acting mild and yet certain in its effects. Send address for Illustrated Circular which we think gives positive proof of its virtues. No remedy has ever met with such un qualified success to our knowledge, fur beast as well as man. Price $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $5. ALE.
