A soldier's reunion will be held at Columbus, Ohio, on the 10th, 11th and 12th of August. Extensive prepc. tions are being made for it. We hear people talk about enjoying good health. Well, of course. Once in a while we find a person who enjoys had health, but hardly ever. A liberty pole in this country sometimes dignifies liberty and sometimes lager beer, and the average patriot does’nt seem to care which it is. An exchange speaks of a man who p “is but one step removed from an ass.” He’d better make it three or four. The animal has a long reach backward. Clean up your alleys and gutters. Have everything clean and pure this hot weather, and you need not be onehalf so afraid during this warm season. Some men claim that all the hell there is, is in this world. To try to conduct a newspaper to please everybody will give a man this kind of religion. To know a thing is right and not to do it, is a weakness. When you know a thing, maintain that you know it; when do you not know it, admit the fact. The fact that Nature only put one elbow in a man's arm is sufficient to indicate that she never intended him to fasten the collar button of the back of his neck. An Ottawa girl with a breach of promise suit testified it was the usual thing for girls to show their love letters to fifteen or twenty other girls, in order to make them jealous. Be careful this warm weather that you do not overwork yourself. This advice is not intended for loafers, for they are in no danger unless they get too lazy to keep up with the shade as it recedes. A Colorado girl only eighteen years J on the death of her father, took arge of his family and farm, and now nages her mother and her brothers, I also her sisters, her cousins and ranch. ■ A

From . rgis Mich., Weekly. Mr. John Brast living in Sherman Township, informed us a few days ago that his feet had been so terribly frost-bit-ten that he could hardly stand the pains caused thereby. He happened to think of St. Jacobs Oil—which he always keeps handy—rubbed his feet twice with tlfe remedy, and the pain disappeared entirely. He not only values St. Jacobs Oil as an unexcelled remedy for a great many other painful diseases, to which mankind is subject, bnt he also asserts that it is really invaluable for the many .diseases horses and stock are subject to, and which so often play havoc with the prospects of the farmer and stock-raisers. It jjfakes a mother’s heart revert to her younger days when she comes into the parlor the next morning after her daugeter’s beau has been around, and the others sitting around in their old places as innocent and mute as though they hadn't been touched for a year! Bethany Ontario., Gentlemen. —I feel it my duty to say a few words in regard to the great benefit 1 have received from the use of one of the wonders of the world, that is, Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. I was one of the greatest sufferers for about fifteen months with a disease of my ear similar to Ulcers, causing entire deafness. I tried everything that could be ioae through medical skill, but without relief. As a last resort, I tried the Eclectric Oil, aud in ten minuets found relief. I continued using it, and in a short time my ear was cured and hearing completely restored. I have used this wonderful healer successfully in cases of inflamation of the lungs, sore throat, coughsand colds cuts and bruises, &c.; in fact, it is our family medicine. Yours truly, MRS. W. J. LANG. Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. Now that the Fourth is gone and no prospect of much of a celebration on the 2d of August, the average small boy of this city feels that life is but an empty dream, and sorrowfully turns toward the apple orchard for consolation. Advertising is all humbug, unless to call the attention of the public to something indispensable to their welfare, such for instance Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil which for its wonderful healing powers, has become a household word in most American homes. Sold by Dorwin & Holtheuse.
