To ije Exposed. It is said that
those highly virtuous individuals who
send money to the New York "saw
dust swind3e.iV' in the hope of receiving
a return of counterfeit money are likely
to come to grief. Their letters are to
be retained and opened at the New
Ycrk post office, and the name of the
writer forwarded to the poet master
where written, with instructions to post
it conspicuously in the office with a
statcment of the fact?. The idea is a
good one, and if carried out, some rich
dcvelopemeuts may be expected.
Smalt. Pox.
A rilivsiiMn !n Rlniir
J I
City, Iowa, uses an ointment made of
charcoal and lard to prevent pitting in
small pox. This is applied freely over
the surface of the face, neck and hands
as soon as the diseased is distinguished,
and continued until all symptoms of
suppurative fever have ceased. The
application always allays the itching,
aid seems to shorten the duration of the
disease, and leaves the patient without
a yeniish, the eruption protected by
tlitTotBttuent not even showing signs of
postuktion, the charcoal preventing the
action of light and the lard that of air.
Wk learn from the Gazette that our
neighboring town, St. Mary's, has taken
htcps looking to the organization ot a
i fire department in that place, and that
I ut a meeting held on the 19th inst., of
R which Charles Luhr was chairman, and
IVjleo. Ed. Weis secretary, it va .
f olved that Cifteeo responsible citizens
be appointed, who iu ia conjunction
with the Town Counoil of the Borough
to constitute a Fire Department. The
Chairman then appointed a committee
with instructions to report progress be
fore a publio mcctinL' to be called l v
C - -
hem. This action speaks well for St.
Mary's. How many fires will it take to
:auae Ridgway to take Bimilar action?
In another oolumn will bo fouud

for the purpose of choosing delegates

Notice ito Postmasters. Post
masters returning letters or papers ad
dressed to persons who have moved
away should explain if possible what
has become of the person addressed or
what is his present post office address.
It is not fHifficient to say thattho letler
or paper is uncalled for or is not lifted.
The reason of its not being taken out
should also be given or, if a letter,
should be sent to tho proper address.
The Latest Dodoe. Ouo of the
reeent tricks of swindlers is to send out
a statement lrom some pretended hotel
to parties'statiug that a friend of theirs
had died suddenly at the hotel leaving
valuablo baggage, money, jewelry,
watches, &c, and winding up by saying
that all these valuables would bo for
warded on the remittance of a small
sum of mouey to pay charges. Look
out tor them.
Singular Coincidence. The Cin

The Reason Wuy. The immedi
ate cause of premature lading or blanch'
in" ot the hair is an obstruction of the
oil vessels which afford the coloring
matter. The remote causes may be
general ill health, trouble of miud, etc.
lutico. in order to restore its natural
color and beauty the oil vessels must bo
restored to their unrinal condition. If is
on this principle that Nature's Hair Re-
storstivo is compounded, and it hus
proved a complete success, wheievcr
faithfully applied. It is not a poisonous
dye, consequently the ellect is gradual,
and in several cases two or three bottles
are necessary to produco the desired
suit. Sec advertisement.

Cure for Corns. Take a lomon,

pare it away to a great extent. Two or
three applications of this will make a
poor cripple happy for life.
To Remove tue Taste of Wood.

of emigration. Crossing Illinois and
Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river at
three points.
These three points are the gateways
into three great sections of the trans
Missouri region.
The Northern gate ia Omaha, where
the great Pacific road will take you to
tho land of gold and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
Tho middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska,
south of the Platte river, a region un
surpassed on tho continent 'for agricul
ture and grazing. Just here are the B'
& M. Railroad lands, concerning which
Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur
lington, Iowa, can give you all informa
tion, and in the heart of them is Lin
coln, the State Capital and present ter
minus of tho road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connection with the St. Joe Road at
Hamburg, running direct to St. Joe and
Kansas City.
ine trains ot the Uuriington run
smoothly and safely, and make all con
nections. It runs the best of coaches
Pullman Palace and Pullman dining
cars, and thould you take the journey
for the journey's sake alone, you will be
repaid; cr take it to find a home or a
farm, and you cannot find cither better
than among the B. & M. lands, where
you can buy on ten years' credit, and at
a low price. vln2yl.
