Black, of Remington, has very recently had a severe attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. At present he is lying very low, and not expected to recover. One of the best oounlry papers that come to our table is the Winam&c Republican. It is a staunch Republican paper, and one not given to running after false gods. It seems that we are to have more of that Brooklyn scahd&l. Moulton has instituted suit against Beecher, claiming $50,000 damages. Let us all unite in weeping.

The best is the Cheapest.—This maxim was never better illustrated than iu the use D. B. Deland & Co’s Best Chemical Salerafns. It is the best in the world, and the purchaser gets a full equivalent for the money paid, in a pure healthy article. To buy any other is a waste of money. To use.any other is triflinj with a great bless-ing-health. Use it in place of soda or baking powder.
