A prominent New l'ork physician lately
complaimd to DUNDAS DICK & CO.,
about their Sandalwood Oil Capsules,
stating that sometimes they cured miracu

them without effect. On being informed
that several imitations were sold, he in

taking DUNDAS DICK & CO'S.

PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Caspusles will continue to do so, for Ihey

DUNDAS DICK & CO., use more Oil or
SAndallwood than all the Wholesale and

United States combined, and this is the
sole reason why the pure Oil is sold
cheaper in their Capsules than in any
other form-
OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast supered
ing every other remedy, sixty Capsules
only being required to insure a safe and
certain cure in six or eight days. From PO

the Niagara Excursion.
About the 15th of Jul; last, a meet
ing was huld at the M.E. Church for the
purpose of orgaoiiaiog an excursion to
Niagara Falls, the profits ii any to be
applied on payment of salary due Rev.
Win. Martin. The meeting Was or
ganized by appointing the Rev. Wm.
Martin, president, and J. 0. W,
Bailey, secretary. After a dis
cussion as to the manner of conducting
the affair in hand, a committee consist
ing of V. II. Ostcrhout, T. S. Hartley
and J. O. W. Bailey wf appointed to
have tho control of the matter, August
11th was fixed upon as tho day for the
proposed excursion, but the time was
finally extended to the 19th. Mean
time the committee, assisted by Rev.
Martin, had made all necessary arrange
ments with the railroad officials for cars
tickets &o. The day at last arrived and
at an early hour of the morning of the
19th inst., horns were blowing and
bells ringing to arouse the people in
time for the train whioh was due at
this place at 5.40 P. M. As tho time
drew near, about one hundred and
thirty persons were assembled at the
depot, with provisions lor the day stored
away in numerous baskets and the Ridg
way band in full uniform was present
discoursing music to those patiently
awaiting the arrival of the train, which
put in ait appearance al six o'clock.
Ihe excursionists from Kane, Wilcnx
and Wiluiarth.wcre soon greeted by the
entrance ot the Ridgway party, and all
found that the three cars were none to
lari:e to contain the party. At Dugusca-
honda, about twenty more were added
to the party and at St. .Marys about the
same number. With the cars Giled at
Hidgway the advent of tarty more at
the two points last named ol course la
terally filled them to overflowing, and
the overflow was towards the baggage
cur, whioh was soon filled by musicians
and others, who kept up a pretty fair
calathurapian serenade until the arrival
of the train at Ktupurium. Here extra
cars were awaiting us, and nearly a car
load of happy ticket holders for the
Falls. While the train was making up
at this point the band performed a few
airs on the platform of the depot. We
were soou under way aain with two en
gines to take us up the steep grade to
the sumit, which was reached without
delay or accident, aud we were soon
whirling ulong at forty miles an hour
toward the mighty cataract. One or
two stops for wuter, were made, when
we were inluriiicd that in halt an hour
we would reach ISuffalo, but that half
hour continued full seventy-five minutes,
for the engine pump gave out and
twice tho train was stopped to repair
damages. About bleveo o'clock we ar
rived at buffalo where another engine
replaced tho crippled ouc, and we were
-ill expecting that wc would soon be
made huppy by a turward movement,
but tho railroad officials cooly informed
us that we would be held one hour for
another excursion to arrive, which
would be attached to our train. As we
had chartered this train ,ind paid an
exhorbitant priec for it before starting
we naturally felt that we had a right to
control it, and were naturally iudiguant
at this action of the 11. 11. officials. Wc
might however have withheld our in
dignation, fur of course we had to wait,
and at last we had twelve passeuger
coaches and a baggage car coupled to
our train, and with two engines we were
again on the move. We soon came in
sight ot the Niagara river, and all felt
that our journey was aliuoit ended when
the rapnids came in siuht and the
waters were seen rapidly rushing
towards the point where the final plunge
is made over the precipice. We soon
halted at tho depot and quickly formed
in column with the band at the head,
and marched to prospect park. Once in
the park all order ceased, and small par
ties of our excursionists were soou
wending their way to the various points
of interest. 1 can only truce the route
of a party of four consis'ing of three
young ladies and myself. We first
visited prospect point where we bad
the first view ot the falls. Thence to
the inclined piano which we desceuded
after patiently waiting for our turn. Ar
rived at the bottom we walked out into
mist at the bottom of the falls, were
tbouroughly wet, and returned bappy.
Up the inclined plane again, accross the
park, to the suspension bridge, over to
Canada, where we had the best v'ipw of
the "falls" aud into the museum with
its thousands of curiosities. Here we
made the acquaintance of a gentleman
trom Egypt, who figured in the busy
scenes ot life thirty three hundred years
ajjo; he was cot very sociable and re
minded one of Mark Twains dried con
vent fruit. Having passed through the
museum, and the gardens adjoining, we
again crossed the suspension bridge, to
the park, where we rested and idled
about until :he time for departure, seven
o'clock arrived. We were tired enough
without a visit to Goat Island. In fact
we all tried to see how much we oould
see in the least possible time. If I had
command of one pa;e of your paper I
could give some inscription of sights
seen but space is limited, and it would
after all be an old story. Here we are
seated in the cars again tired and
hungry, out come the baskets again and
the provisions are demolished as only a
lot of hungry excursionists can do it.
Again we are delayed an hour for some
cause unknown to us and then off for
home, soou there is a cry for water, the
tanks are empty, and we invade the
the tauk of the tender, and find water
warm but wet. Arrived in Buffalo we
were fortunate enough to obtain a small
supply of ice water, enough toquiej the
thirsty ones. We were treated to sev-
era! extra rides here, indeed I think
we ran into every depot and on to every
side track in Buffalo, but finally at a late
bour, were agaid riding towards borne'

four hours absenoe. Well we hive
seen we have seen Ihe great catered,
and are) happy. The committee have
not settled aooonnts but the probable
tesult of the excursion is a profit of
about $200. All had a good time.
There were no aooidents, and the only
disagreeable features of the excursion
were, the loss of two gold watches and a
pooket-book appropriated by Niagara
pickpockets, and tho delay on the road.
Theonmmitt.ee have reason to congratu
late themselves on the success of the
enterprise.

The managers of the Niagara Kxoursion
present to the citizeni of the above named
plaoes tholr hearty thanks for the spirit
with which they responded to the oall.
We hope that all enjoyed, as aid we, the
pleasure of the trip.
We hear repeatedly on every side "what a

It is now thought that the first of Sepi
tember will see silver coin circulating
freely again. The Treasury Department
is reported as making preparations looking
to that end.
Persons who have been in the habit of
carrying pistols, dirk knives, sling shots
and all other descriptions of conceited or
dangerous weapons, will do well to leave
them at home in the future. The new law
makes it a misdemeanor to carry them, and,
upon conviction, imposes a fine of not more
than $00 and an imprisonment of not
more than one year, or either, cr both, at
the discretion of the court, of any person
so offending.
Army Worms. Mr. Jos. MoCracken of
Richarlsville, informs us that, the Army
Worm has completely destroyed a field of
ten acres of as fine oats as he ever had grow
in this county. The worm first made its
appearance in the clover and timothy to
which the ground was seeded, and oaused
;t to look as though a fire had passed over
it, turning perfectly frown. After getting
through with the grass the oats werg at
tacked and not a blade or grain left on the
Btalks, the number of worms, being beyotul
all estimate. They also attacked a patch
of corn, and riddled it completely, but an
application of lime aud ashes Beemed to
stop their operations on the latter. They
also attacked the timothy in the meadow
and cxtorminaeed it root and branch. Mr.
McCracken'8 loss is considerable, and it is
fortunate for the country that the pest is
not general but confined as it is to a few
localities, Brookville litpublkan.

excellent portrait, Paul or Apollos Which

Christain Andersen, the Danish author;
Controlling Circumstances; Our Country

Trainor, a young man about fifteen years
of age, was arrested in McCalmont town
ship on Thursday hist, on charge of horse
stealing, perferred by Mr. Oscar White
hill, of Limestone township Clarion county.
It will oe remembered that we published a
notice of the theft at tho time, anl gave a
discription of the missing animals. It now
appears that Traiuor, who bad been raised
in the neighborhood, took the animal and
after passing around considerable stopped
at Mr. John Norths, wh;re he was helping
on the farm, having previously sold the ani
mal to a Mr. John Long, a neighbor of Mr.
Norths, for $"0, receiving $ 10 of the
amount. A young man named Jordan
learned of Trainor's whereabouts, and af
ter satisfying himself that he was the m an
wanted, and had the missing horse, he
communicated with Mr. J. C. Whilehill, of
this place, who prosured a warrant and
made the arrest. Traruor is now confined
in out jail, but will be removed to Clarion
for trial. It is proper to say that the boy
has osually been considered in a measure
demented, and that he has Ihe sympathy of
those who have suffered from his acts.

Ma. Kditor: What exciting con
cerns these Niagara exoursion parties are,
arn't theyT Last Wednesday night as I
walked the streets or entered the stores of
Kane the question was constantly put to
me are you going to the Falls? Of eourse
I was going my wire,cliilJren, uncles, aunts,
cousins and some that were not cousins
had derided to go along. I had determined
to go though it should rain, snow, and hail
all at onoe. Twelve o'olook that night,
found me on the rugged peaks of Ihe Allo
genics gating into the clouds to discover if
possible the promise of a propitious morn
ing troubled to get positive proof I retired
to rest. Rest did I say, pardon ma, that
was out of the quostion, I was going to
Niagara Falls and every bone in my body
seemed anxious for a start Four o'clock
A. M. and every thing is in motion. The
iron horse with his four new and splendid
coaches is ready for the trip. Ladies and
gentlemen, baskets and lanterns are all
dodging along the streets or between the
trees toward the iron road where stands
the vehicle destined soon to bear us on
toward America's greatest wonder. Nor
did the excitement cease with Kane,
Renovo was effected, sixteen telegrams
went flying over the wires regarding the
special that was th:it day going out. What
a commotion to bo sure, and all became
we were going to see Ihe waters do what
the Irishman said it. could not help,
namely tumble over." Fjur fifty and still
they come. Five o'clock an I there is n
shriek of the whistle, a pull of tho rope,
and we are eff, down the hill around the
curves to Wilcox. What a commotion there,
for that quiet place, so early in the morn,
ing. Dead chickens and sweet cakes, were
passed into the front car, while the eve
oily Jen. witn his ournsiues and nappy
family of women and children mounted
the rear coach and bid good bye for the
Jay, to the toil and care of Wilcox business
life. Again the iron horse was heard snori
ng, as he sped away at lightning speed for
Wilmartli. Anxious to do the handsome
thing to all we opened the door and bid
hem enter; that, however, was but the
work of a moment and wo were off again
for ltidgwuy We slacked our speed, that
Ihe sound of the shrieking whistle might
have a chadce to go ahead and announce,
to the denizens of that place, the glorious
fact that we were coming. How well the
signal did its work. What a multitude to
behold! men, women, and children, brass
buttons, silver horns, market baskets and
baby wagons, all swaying to and fro upon
the platform, auxious, eager, au! deter
mined, rain or shine, with us to visit Niag
ara Falls. No sooner did we stop than
every seat, etep.and isle was filled with the
jollicst crowd 1 ever siw. Tho littlo man
across the creek, bad left the tanning ot
hides and buying ot birk, with all us
cares, to others for the day white with bis
merry ha! ha! and plcnsent how do you do,
he made every one feel at home upoc the
ruin nor was this all the Niagara fever
had gone beyond the suburbs of our town
to Centreville, aud Peulield, so that we had
no sooner stopei ai vagus, man it was
plainly evident a pleasant, happy and joy
ful crowd, had dared the awful Bleeps of
hat nimintaiii railway to join us on our
rip Mill they come, ana still we go.
Though tlic threating clo ids begin to drop
heir rain upon the scene, it could not stop
he crowd, no sooner had we halted at St.
Marys, than umbrellas went down, men
and women stepped up determined, sit or
stand, tn join the party bouud for Niagara
rails. What a pity there is not more seats
but never mind the iron horse is making
ime as he rushes on toward Emporium,
where more accomodations are waiting all
who may desire them. Pull the rope! stop!
Howard station is jut beyond, with a
patient anxious, party, waiting to go
iibing. Crowd up a little there is room for
one more, nil right, away we go againja joke,

there is no lime for dreaming, the hours
are passing away and with item the last
chance for many here to behold the won
ders of this spot. Here wo are at the de
pot of the inclined railway; a railroad by

cars, ana rate ot speed leaves the Dagus
road infinitely lulheshaJe. What a rush
to ride down hill, even the Ladies forgot

to ndu down bin, and wit h a hrm deter
mined step, planted their feet upon the oar
resolved logo down or die. Well they did
go down and little things they appeared to
be, as from a neighboring bank we gaxed
upon their forms. Thus they continue to
go every whither, some to tioal Island
others to Canada, while others again paid
a visit to their elder brothers who for the
last 33 hundred years, have rested peaoa
fully, quietly, silently, in their narrow
coffin homes. As the hour of our depart
ure is drawing near, the weary, but happy
party, are turning their backs upon the mos
pleasant, wonderful, eurapluriug sight
they ever saw, to find if possible the com
modious vehicles that are to bear us-to our
homes. The depot reached,, the silver

Sudden Death. The Philipsburjj
Journal says: "A sudden death, under
painful circumstances occured in the
office of Justice Slioop on Monday eve
ning about nine o clock. Mrs: lliraiu
Harris was belore the justice fur a hear
ing on a charge of assault und battery,
perferred by Mrs. C. Thomas. It ap
puarcs that Mrs. Thomas' little boy eu-
terod Mrs. Harris' garden and was do
ing some injury there, refusing to leave
when told to do so, whereupon Mrs.
Harris caught him by the arm and in
flicted a few slight blows wtth a bit of
lath. Mrs. Harris was making this ex
planation to the Justice withou', visible
agitatiou. when she suddenly stepped
into an adjoining room, the office of the
Justice being in his residence, and
asked one of his daughters for a driuk
of water which was handed to her. She
raised the glass to her lips, but was un-.
able to driuk and attempted to enter
the offico again, saving faintly, "Take
me home," Tho Justice caught her us
she was sinking, aod she was carried to
a couoh in the parlor and expired, with
out speaking again, in eleven minutes.
A physician was immediately sum
moned, but did not arrive until she had
ceased to breath. Justice Riddles was
sent for aud held an inquest upon tho
body, tho verdict being that death eu-
sued lrom ebolism of the heart. The
funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon
and was largely attended."
Dr. llarch on Spelling.
One of the most suggestive addresses
at the teachers' convention at Wilkes-
bar re, was that given by March ot La
layette college He is in favor of a re
form in English spelling. Our lan
guage in this respect has no system. A
perfect alphabet requires that every
spoken sound have but one character to
represent it. Time and money are lost
by this irregularity. Three million dol
lars are wasted every ten years in the
New York Tribune alone by priming
silent letters. It takes three years to
teach a child to spell. Half of this could
be avoided if words were spelled as they
are pronounced. Efforts towards a spell
ing reform have hitherto failed because
of the difficulty in forming a combina
tion ot scholars to overcome popular
prejudice.
