A BOTTLE COSTING 25¢., 50c.-or $l.OO, HAS OFTEN SAVED THE LIFE OF A lUMAN BEING, AND RESTORED TO LIFE AND USEFULNESS MANY A VALUABLE HORSE. -

For asthmatic complaints, difficuit breathink. tightness'of the breast, and silments of the lungs, it is applied externally. on “¥7 -east, and between the shoulders, In case . snarp pains in the back and limbs, head-ache, ear-ache,.affections of the throat, or in cases oféuternal injuries, whether resulting from a sevcre stroke, fall orbruise, this Liniment is especially efficacious. Itrelieves ulcers, open woands, galt rhenm, white swelling, milk leg, and works charmingly on corns, chilblains, frosted hands, feet and ears.’ Nnrsing mothers suffering from swollen breasts, resnlting from a stagnation of thé lacteal fluid, will ind this' Liniment of incalculable benefit by way of separating te swelling, allayirg tne feéver, aud healing the breast.

Words are eheap, but the pioprietors of’ these articles will present trial bottles to medical men. gratis, as a guarantee of what they say. 5 The l‘enlvgnr Liniment, White Wrapper, will cure Rheumatism, Neunralgig,Lambago, Sciatica, Caxed Breasts, Sore Nipples, Frosted Feet, Chillblaios, Swellings, Spraing, and any ordinary .

She is now completely cured by the use of Ceutaur Liniment. Weuall feel thankful to yon, and recommend your wonderful medicine to all our friends.” o James Hurd, of Zanesville, 0., says: *TheCehtaur Liniment cured my Neuralgia.” - ' ! Alfred Tush, of Newark, writes; *‘Send me one dczen bottles by express.. The Liniment has saved my leg. "I want to distribute it, etc.” . The sale of this Liniment is increasging rapidly. The Yellow Centaur Liniment is for the tough ekin, flesh and muscles of e HORSES, MULES AND ANIMALS, SR We have never yet geen a case of Spavin, Sweeny, Ring-bone, Wind-gall, Scratches or Poli-Evil, which this Liziment would not speedily benetit, and we never saw but a few cases which it wounld not cure. Xt will care when anything can. It is folly/to spend §2O, for a Farrier, when one dollar’s worth of Centaur Liniment will do better. The following is a sample of the testimony produced : o Wo Pl Ho;ikins, Postmaeter, Piqua, 0,, says: ‘‘Centaur Liniment can’t be beat. It cures every time.” : ' 2 YELVERTON, 0., March'2, 1874. “The Ceutanr Liniments are the best selling medicines we have ever had.

Itis vety wonderfulin itg eflcets, particularly with tke disordered stomachs and bowels of children. It assimilates the food, cures gour stomach and wind colic, regnlates the bowels, expels worms, and may be relied upon in.croup. ) :

As a pleasant, eflective and perfectly safe cathartie remedy it is superior to Castor Oil, Cordials and Syrups. 'lt does not confain alcohol, and is adapted to any age} - | i § By regulating the stomach and bowels of cross and sickly children they become good-na-tured and healthy. They can emjoy sleep and mothers have rest. The Cagtoriais patup a the Laboratory of J. B. Rose:& Co., 46 Dey street, New York. " ¢hqr-Iy-9-i¢

and honest government, Ie- says: “Read after me; Mr. Republican, and leam ~where some of your great men_ are, and what they are doing. Here is “James R: '‘Doolittle "of Wisconsin, the pride of that States who served; in the United States Senate for eighteen years as a Republicamand sacrificed his seat rather than sustain Grantism; a man who stood by the republican party during the war, and only left it wlien he discovered that it was run in the interest of rings and stockjobbers. Next is Lynmx!{l‘rumbull, of Illinois, one of the ablest Republicans that ever occupled. a seat in the United. States Senate, ‘where he sat for eighteen yeurs; ‘he, too, left the Republcans on . account of their -eorruption. Then comes Senator Thomas W. Tipton, of Nebraska, who sacrificed his seat in the United States Senate because he would not bend .the knee to Radicalism: = And Gen: James Shields, of ‘Missouri, ex-United States Senator

from Illinois, and: ex-United States Senator from Minnesota, a Brigadier General in the late 'war, who whipped Stonewall Jackson at Winchester, elected to Congress from the Kansas City distriet:in 1866 by 8,000 majority, but - swindled: out of his seat by a_ drunken. Secretary of - State, who| threw out the votes ot two counties, which ' elected Van Heorn. ' General Shields, who led a brigade under Geén. Scoﬁ,‘in the Mexican war, and. at the battleof Cerro Gordo, led his brigade along the banks of the Plonidel Vo, came out at the foot of the mountafn"s" of Cero Gordo, made a gallant charge on the Mexicans, was shot through the langs, and carried off the field ‘for dead—he too, is fighting the radical party and its corrupt teachings. Hoa.. John F. Farnsworth, of Illnois, the old, true and ftried. Free-soiler, who helped the republican party.in power, served sixteen years'in Congress as a. Republican, and was' elected last by a m’a\j»{)rilj of .14,000 \.-,sacriﬁc_éd it all totake . position for the people 'against the' plunderers. Gov.: Austin Blair, 'who was the great war Governor of Michigan, and contributed men and. meney for the prosecution of the war for the Union, is also fighting for re- | form. * After the wai closed Governor Blair wis elected to.

opportunities for developing immense, water power; aid ere many years that land would be worth more than $1,000,000. At pesnt upon ‘the estate, and claiming t.as a son of the deceased, was a man calling himself William ‘Acton.” .. - ! ; “But,”.sald Sarfurt,/“he is not a legitimate child at all, “lis mother was Betsy Totwood, at one -time a girl in Acton’s employ. Acton, I know, was never married. Ie Hrought the boy up and educated him, and now the ‘fellow thinks he wil step into his prote $ shoes. I tan prove that I am the oyly living mlative'of Philip Acton. Ale was myhincle—my mother’s bebther—and, to alawyer as smart as you, there can bé no ‘diflieunlty .in proving- my title. ~ I can bring the witnesses-to your hand.” : .“He'told ne he would givee me five hundredif 1 would undertake ‘the case, and & additional $l,OOO it [ gained. That vasa big fee—far more than I had thenmade in all my pleading. It was fempting. And yet I saw that‘ it wa not yet perfectly clear —not entirelyonest. The probability was that ths William Actonwas Philip’s child; ind it was not imipos-

sible that Philp had married Betsy | Totwood. Itstuck me that Laban Sarfurt was a vilain, and that he fan- | cied hre had yourg Acton so far in his | power that he'cald eject him from | the title. But what had I particular- | ly to do with thut? ~ 1f I accepted a | client, I must seve him. . I had no’ .business but to srve his interest. I finally. told Mr. farfurt that.l would | think the mattersyer. I should probably have busines in Shireton during’ thesession of tle court, and I would ! call on -him thervand examine more fully. I could 10t take his retainér’ until I had furthy light.” e i *But,” said he, “will you promise not to take up forghe other side?” | { “I told him I would do nothing without furtter consultation Wwith.4 him.” ¢ Pl e “Because,” ht'added; “if you are for me I am sure tg win. Acdton can’t find a lawyer tlat can hold a candle to you. I knowthem all.” | “No matter wlether I believed him or not, I did not el flattered.” i “Two weeks laer I receivel a letter from Sarfurt, promising me $5,000 it I won.” ; | - “The $5,000 was astrong argument. | Was not law really a game of chance, in which the strongest haad and longest. purse must ‘wiy? I told myself yes. Yes—and I'sa; down and wrote a reply, saying thatl would take the case.; But I did nct mail it at once. That night L put it under my pillow, and slept over it: ind on the following moruing I threv it into the fire. I would not make up my mm;}"ﬁntil‘ i had' seen other parties—until L had been on the grounds. And I wrote to Laban Sarfurt to-wait.. | “Two weeks later I harnessed my horse to the wagon, and, with my wife and child, started for Shireton. I had been married (wo years, and our little babe, a girl, was a year old, onr’ pride, our pet, and our darling. Shire* ton wias a distance of abont thirty miles. We-had been having rainy weather for a week or so, and it had [ now cleared off bright and beautiful. We stopped and took:dinner at a way- | side inn, four miles beyond whitch was a stream which. must be forded. They inn-keeper told me that the stream was somewhat swollen from | the late rains, but that if my horse | was trusty there eould be no danger. | “Arrived at the. stream, the Wampatuek river, I found the water indeed. risen, and .the current strong, Dbub I saw that others had recently gone over, and I resolved to venture. ‘I knew my horse, and had- faith in him, My wife was anxious, but she | trusted my judgment. A third of the way acxéc}»s»‘me ~water was over the hub of the wheels. A little more and 'it would have reached the body of { the wagon. Ibegan:to be alarmed; {lfeared I had-left the .true track. | Presently ‘my horse stumbled and | staggered, having evidently stepped on & moving stone. The:wagon sway{ed and; tipped,'-and the flood poured {in upon us.. My wife slipped, and in a monient more we were in the water. With one hand I grasped the

harness upon the horse, and with the other I held my wife. I was thus | struggling when a wild cry from her lips startled the air. Our child was | ashed away. ; . ' “Oh, my soul! I cannot tell you | what I suffered during those moments. I could not help our darling. Ifl left my wife she was lost. I clung to the horse and clung to my shrieking wife—shrieking to God for mercy for her child. In the distance upon the ,bog()m of the surging flood I could see our little one, her white dress gleaming in the sun, being bornme swiftly away. A moment more and I saw a man plunge from the bank into the river. ‘I saw this mueh, and then an intervening point of land shut out the scene. The horse was now rapid-: ly nearing the shore, and ere long my wife and I were on dry land, with the ’ horse and wagon. Assoon as 1 was _sure my wife was safe I left her to care for the horse while I posted off down the river bank in quest of the swimmer and the child. T | “You may well understand that all this time I was frantic. I was a machine being operated upon by a surgin'%and agonizing-emotion. How long or how far I wandered I do not know,. but at, length I met a man, ‘wet and dripping, with my darling in his arms, my darling safe and sound. He fold me that he had chught the ¢hild within a few rods of the falls, and that in landing he had cleared the fatal abyss by not more than two yards. Ile was a young ‘'man, not more than 25, handsome and stalwart. He said he had seen my wagon tip, and was coming to my assistance when he saw the child washed away. ‘I threw my life into the balance,” said he with a genial smile, ‘and, thank God! both ' the lives were saved !’ ; “I asked him how I should ever repay him. Tle stopped me with an Imploring gesture: , > “‘lf you talk of more pay than I have already received,” he said, ‘if you can rob me of the orly solid reward I can claim, mercy! if saving the life of such a cherub is not enough of reward in‘itself, then hard is the heart that can crave wmore’ And, with moistened eyes, he told me that he had a child of hisown at home—an only child of very nearly the same age. ; -

“I" asked if he would tell me his name. With a smile, he answered that his name did not matter--he was not sure that he had anmame. I then ‘asked him if he knew me, Ile nodded, and said he thought I might be Mr. Lurlington, of Walbridge. When I told him he was correct, he said he amust hurry home, And with that he turned away. ;I was too deeplymoved to stop him, and when: he had disappeared I .started to rejoin my wife with a dawning impression that tlre man might be slightly deranged. But my darling was safe—the broad, fleecy cloak had floated out and kept her head above water—and I went on my way rejoicing, resolved that the preserver of my child shouldinot be forgotten. e e “I will not tell you of the emotion

of my wife when she held her child ong¢e more in her arms. We reached Shireton before night, and found comfortable quarters. i e “On the following day Laban Sarfurt called upon me and was about to spread his.evidence for my inspection,. when I iiffterrupted him. I told him I could not aceept his confidence until I made up my mipd to take his case in hand. Something seemed to whisper that there was danger ahead.” 'I did not feel comfortable in that man’s presence.. I felt as though he was trying fo-buy meé..* The court would sit in four days. I told himl weuld give him a final answer in two days from that. . : e . “That'evening T made a confidant ‘of my wife, and asked her what I should do. ‘lf I take the case,’ I said, ‘T am.sure of $5,000.” - She bade me do what was right. - ‘God has been very kind to us, she said, ‘Let us look to Him for guidance.’ s koo “After this I called on the .clergymarn of the place, whose soh had been my classmate in college, and whom I ‘had once before visited. Te received me heartily, and by-and-by I asked him about William Acton. The Te-

sult of all he told me is summed upin | ° his closing sentence. Said he: f ¢ T am sure ‘William Acton was | Philip Acton’s child—in fact I know ] it—and [think the father and mother were married.

I said to him: | i Mr. Sarturt, I have been considering all this time whether I could undertake your case with a clear conscience | —whether I should be helping the | side of justice au@ right in helping you. I had concluded that I could not do so before T had seen William Acton, to know him by name. I now know him for a man whonobly risked his own life tp save thedife of my child. For that deed I will reward. him if I can. I'have not, as yet, accepted one of your private disclosures; I have gained from yownothing which you.could wish to keep from the publie.

The main exhibition—Machinery and Memorial Halls —were one compact mass’ef human-. ity.. The pathways were black with people. From Machinery Hall to the Main Building " poured a Constant stream of sight seers, who were doing the buildings'in rotation. Going further westward, we come, to the saw-. mills, where there are .crowds, and next enter the glassworks. No sooner. had we passed the threshold than the crowd in the building made for, the doors, and the cry wentup] =

“THE MAIN BUILDING IS ON FIRE!” | And it looked so. The thick black smoke was rising in heavy clouds, enveloping the Main Building, while a tongue of flame; visible through the | smoke, every now and then would verify the rumor in the minds of distant spectators. lurrying! to the scene of the fire, we found, to our great relief, that although ‘the danger was great, the rumor was false. Be- | fore the ppening of the’fgreat show, everybody of a speculative turn of | mind paid an enormous sqm_of"mon-\ ey for a piece of ground 5 feet square. On this immense(?) lot a lager-beer or segar shanty would spring up in | about 10 hours. Beside these shanties were ‘put up the Globe -hotel, an;ii_in-‘ mense frame structure, the Congi‘eSS‘ With « brick front and the balance of frame, and several other bgick hotels; among which is the Trans-Continen-tal. This hotel' is four stories high, and stands directly opposite the Main Exhibition building.. So noted had these frame structhres become, that they were known as .“S?]%f‘iiltyvillé.‘”» The proprietors of saloons in :ijaxiity# ville have been [losing money day afier day, not one of them making _,‘ex} penses.. 'T&duy, from §ome¥ as“yet unknown, caise, gue of these’ saloons; caughi; fire, and 'fo;r a time the de'v"ou‘.rxl’ ing element threatened to destroy the entire district. The fire was working steadily towards the Trans-Continen-tal Hotel, andehad that caught . fire there ‘would have been but little chanee of saving the Main Building. The entire Centennial Fire Depart-| ment was on hand inst:antly,'w_hile the companies from the city arrived'in an incredibly short time. Most magnificent was the management of _the fire, | and tlx@'ﬁrelnenéworked as thoug}_l for their lives., Too mucli praise ¢annot be given to Director-General Geshorn for his prompt and eflicient action. As soon as the alarm ' was sounded, he ordered out as many of "the ' Centennial Fire Companies as ‘could be spared from the grounds; closed ‘all the entrances to tlie buildings, exdept the-main doors to allow people to leave; elosed the entrances to the grounds, lund threw wide 'open” all means of égress. The hose was spread through the buildings and _everybody

was réad& for :m){) emergency. Aflter“ a half hour’s stubborn fight,.the: fire yielded, mch by inch, slowly but surely, to the Hertulean efforts of the firemen. When it was once seen that the fire was under control and that the danger was averted, the crowds moved homeward. Very fe'w_.re-.entere‘d" the grounds, as, the time was after. fﬁve o’clock. To give an idea of the excellent m;inagemeut attending the entire exhibition, it is only necessary to state that' there were inside the grounds at the time the fire broke out, over one hundred thousand people, and there has been not the slightest accident reported. The officers of the _Exhibition, from the Director-Gener-al down, deserve more praise than can ‘be expressed. Mr. Goshorn has what is 50 necessary in’ time of”danger—a cool hiead. Hisorders were given rapidly and executed immediately. | All who are interested in theéCe‘ntennial Exlubition can rest assured of this: if a fire does break out in any of the buildings, it will not be on account of mismanagement that- it gains any

headway. But to return .to the grounds. On re-entering we .look around, and nothwithstanding thefact that thousands have run outside to look iat the fire, we see a crowd as’ great as it ‘was before. There is no apparent difference whatever. - In fact the attendance to-day is larger than ever befere: Up to 1 o’clock, 87,000 visitors had entered, and at 6, the time of closing, the turnstiles had registere&_, as paying, 104,179 including comi‘)limentarriog aboug .11.5,(}00.This week Las been unprecedentedly. successful.

~ Letter From an Excursionist. Down the Hudson ' River, on: Board the Steamer Daniel Drew. = Ll SEPTRMRIR T, 1876, . Ep. BANNER:—I feel as though it ‘would be of ‘interest to some of ‘my associates of Ligonier and vicinity to write a brief description of my travels ‘through some of the principal cities of ‘the East. I left ' Ligonier “at 1045 ‘Saturday night, in company with Mr. Christian W. Gerber, and arrived in Cleveland at 7.15 Sunday, morning, where we remajned 30 minutes for refreshments, after which we journeyed onward; and arrived at. Buffalo ‘at.1.30 P. M. Sunday, at which city we rémained over night. At 1150 on Monday morning we took the train for Niagara Falls, a’ distance of 23 miles, and arrived there at 1.80 p. ~ and visited the plaees of greatest importance,. among which were the Whirlpool Rapids, where the Niagara River is said to be in depth 250 feet, in breadth 150 yards, and runs at the rate of 27 miles an liour.” These rapids. differ from those above the Falls, whieh are ‘caused by the sh’allow ‘water and rocks.| -At Whirlpool Rapids it is the under current ‘forcing itself through “the narrow channel It is ‘ca}Culatted ithat over.one hundred mil-

lion tons of .water pass- through. this gorge evely hour. It ‘was at ‘this point that the little steamer -Maid of the Mist: wient entirely out of sight} when she dame ‘to- the surface againher smoke tack{andp:'u'ﬁqf Der wheel house werd minus. This is the only

boat that ever attempted this terribly perilous -voyage. . This voyage was made on account of her owner becomingginyolved and having to mortgage her, and in order to save her he. paid the experienced and intrepid Captain Robinson $5OO to safely guide her into the still waters of Lake Ontario. This| event occurred June 15, 1861. My advice to pleasure seekers would be not to fail to visit the great Whirlpool Rapids, as .that is one of” tlie grandest sights on thie Niagara River.

_. * THE GREAT WHIRLPOOL. - . No visitor shonld leave Niagara Falls ‘without paying a visit to the world: .renowned and - wonderful Whirlpool. "The grounds are situated upon tlie American side of “the river three! fourths of - a_mile below: Sgspension Bridge. ' Approaching the river bank’ by a drive of half a mile through the cool sliade of the forest, we alight at thie Whirlpool College, and taking the leftéhand pathway, reach the obsérvatory at the inlet to the- Whirlpool, where scenes of unequalled grandeur. and beauty burst at once upon the view. " Criftsing -each other into the whirlpool in the wildest confusion come rushing™ the”foam-crested billows of the whirlpool rapids. Reaching the centre of the broad basin, ‘which covers 60 acres of ground, the mighty torrent s_ufréesy around to the west, réturns upon its course, and dis---puting the I;i ght of way with-the incoming Gurrert, creates those funnels of water which possess asuction pow-ersufficient-to engulf large logs or spars. - Gazing at the massi of water tossing furiously in every direction beneath us, it is diflicult to realize ‘that the little " steamer was piloted througl that -dangerous pass. Following the walk to the right we arrive at the-stairway, which leads to the water’s edge, and may beused or 'not at the pleasure of -the . visitor, Hitherto, one unacquainted with the peculiar shape of the chasm at this point wotild suppose that the end of ‘the river had been reached, no‘outlet ~ﬁeing?visible.' Now, however, turn‘ing sharply to the right we'perceive that the river forms aright angle, and ‘the most wonderful - portion of the gorge is before us. At a distance. of three hundred feet below our point of view,; sweeping through an outlet only three hundred feet wide, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, contrasting strangely with the broken rapids above and bélow; rolls all the -water _passing from the upper lakes. ' Hifteen hundred millions of cubic feeb of water pass over the Falls every hour, covering a surface ‘three-fourths of a ‘mile in width. This immense volume of water pours ‘through this passage, which i$ the narrowest portion of the

river, at the rate of 25 miles per hour, | and having a depth of 400 feet. The ‘impression of resistless power left upon the wind of the spectator by this scene can never be effaced, and is un- | surpassed even by the Falls themselves. " Down the river the view extends for two miles, including the ‘¢éountless eddies, numerous rapids, and sloping, verduré-covered banks of the Niagara,-crowned with towering forest treées. It may prove of interest to know t;h'at, the entire revenue of the place—they charge 50 cents admission | for ench person—is devoted to educa- { tional purposes at Qeveraux fCollege,f to which the grounds belong, and from which the fine view can be obtained, 4it 1s near the entrance. TFrom this “we (cross into the Dominion of Cana- | da, over the old Suspension Bridge, | which is something over SOO feet in lerigth and 240 feet above the water, aud also serves ag a railroad bridge I'and @ carriage drive, the drive being | situated beneath the railway track.

Passing up the river ‘on’ the Cana‘da side we come to the Horseshoe “Falls, which are Baid to be about 2,200 feeb across with a fall of 158 feet, tlie” water at one point benig about 20 feet in thickness where it passes over the Falls. From thence we go back down the river # short distance and eross “overi to the United States on the New Bridge, which is used only for driving and. foob passengers, and has but a single: track. - This bridge is 1,300 feet long and ‘l9O feet above the water. “The Falls on the American sido are not 40 lalgo 4s those on,the, Canada side, },.wggronxsr about 800 feet, acrosé, and | the water falls a'distance of 164 feet.
