One’s a justice an’ t’other’s a lawyer.

Strong drink has “lain its thousands, but kissing is slaying its tens of thousands And still people go right on with the kissing. Secretary Hurty Should see to this.

The progressive ladies of Westfield, Ind., issued a “Woman’s Edition” of the Westfield News, bearing date of April 3, 1896.

Campbell, merchant of Safford, Anz , write*: “Dr King’s New Discevery is all that is claimed for it; it never fails, and is a sure cure for consumption, coughs and colds. 1 cannot say enough for its merits.” Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption coughs and colds is not an experiment.

As is usually the case, when a law is passed forbidding the people to do any certain thing, thev are all the more zealous in their efforts to do that very particular thing. The late quail law prohibits the shipping of dead birds out of the state, and the desire to beat the law, led an ingenious Yankee to tty a novel scheme, which was brought to light by accidental discovery. A box shipped from Some point in Indiana to Chicago was opened, and found to contain the carcasses of 33 rabbits and 3 squirrels, from which the entrails had been removed and 90 quails secreted therein. Hobbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition.
