An Honest Medicine.

Of all medicines calculated to cure affections of the throat, chest and lungs, we know of none we can begin_ to recommend so highly as Dr. King’s New; Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, 'Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness, Tickling in the Throat, loss of voice, &c. It does positively cure, and that ‘where eyerything else has failed. No medicine can show one half so many positive and permanent cures as have already been wrought by this wonderful remedy. For the Asthma and Bronchitis it is a perfect specific; curing the worst cases in the shortest time possible. We would say by all means give it a trial. Three doses will relieve the worst case. Trial bottles free. Regular size $l. For sale by Scott and Sandroek, Ligonier, Indiana, .

—Mr. John A. Singrey, of Albion, has been engaged during the fall and 'winter in buying and shippping hogs. He shipped alot on Monday of last week, which, according to the Era, completed a total of 1,500 fat hogs | purchased by him in that viicinity. | That would seem to indicate tlhat the farmers thereabouts have reduced . their stock of porkers’ to quite a limited number. -, . : —We have received from Dick and Fitzgerald, publishers, No. 18 Ann street;- New York, copies of the following ~ works: Frost’s Dramatic’ Proverbs and Charades; Dick’s Recitations and Readings; How ‘to Learn the Sense. of 3,000 French Words in One Hour. - These books are all beautifully printed and bound, and would be interesting and useful in any well regulated family. 10, —Slander, with its forked tongue—its subtle, slimy peison in every fang —is. constantly at work in our midst. ‘Beware of snakes, the dog star is raging.

The visitor was received with due hospitality,and his health pledged with generous draughts of the hardest of hard cider: In the course of human events the political situation became the topic of discussion, and so widely did they differ in t:tir -views, that “wah” was declared,and the battle-scarred veteran received the combined attack of his kinsfolk* of the opposite political faith, and as a natural result he was the most unmercifully “bull-dozed” man that has been reported this seae g

Suppose we should call on you some day, and find you nicely arranged before a warm fire in ‘a comfortable room, and we should say: ‘Now, John, you have to put in the time some way, suppose you come: round and saw up a load of wood we have just received. What_would you think of us anyhow ? A newspaper to be prosperoug must make sotne money, and fhat same space is what it is to be made from; and when it does not make us money, we prefer to let it lie idle, or choose our own way of disposing of it.”

—The old adagethat, “none ever resign and few die in office,” is proven false in at least one instance.

—Something of an idea of the extent of live stock shipments from this point may. be gained from the fact. that there have been weighed on J. B. Foltz’s scales at the stock yards since the first of September, 1876, 7,300 live hogs. ~Over 600 of that number were weighed last Sat\}rdav, by Messrs. Sackett Bros., Joséph McDowell, — Evans, and D. Selig—all shippers of this place. The above statement does not include hogsL weighed upon the scales of Wm. D. Hays, near town, and upon the scales of Scott & Sandrock, and which have also been shipped from this market. ; —Constable Stites, h aving for some ‘weeks held in his possession warrants for certain pugndéioué gentry from the rural districts, for the unlawful ‘exercise of their vicious propensities within our corporate limits,-last Saturday proceeded to “qlose in” upon one of his victims.” He had secured his man. and ‘was returning to town when, at; the prisoner’s request; he stopped at a farm house along®the road. As they approached the house, ‘ 1o and behold! his man No. 2 (whom we will call John, for short), was seen beating a hasty retreat from the rear ‘entrance. The evaded official at once took in the situation, and. concluding lthat there would be luck in leisure, allowed the frightened youngster to 'pursiue his journey unmolested. Mr .Stites brought his prisoner to town, ' had him duly arraigned before Esquire Banta, who adjusted his case in legal Istyle and to the tune of $3.00 and ~costs. Scarcely had this transaction been completed, when prisoner, No. 2, having stopped to draw a long breath, took a sober second thought, and arriving at the profound conviction that an “open confession would be good for his sole (soul), promptly retraced his steps and sought the Seat of Justice. He rushed into the presence of the dispenser of law with the exclamation, “’Squire, I plead guilty!” The Court was, of course, taken by surprise, and inquired what the strange proceeding meant, At this juncture Constable Stites, who recognized his wining’ prisoner, served his summons and had the case regularly opened and formally dispatched. Justice was satisfied, the officials were happy, and the victim | went on his way rejoicing. .

ALBION RUMMAGES,

Did you ever start out on an eleven miles drive over aroad you had never traveled? Your humble servant did, and after traveling about thirty imaginary miles in nine. real ones, we met a stranger. Timidly, we asked whether we were not about Columbus, 0., the place where the republican candidate for President resides? Slowly, sadly, but accurately came the answer: “You are yet a great ways from thére, about as far ag he (republican candidate) is from the Presidency.” Thanking the stranger,; we drove OR. ;

Albion, atpresent, is conceded to be the most “law-yell” place in the county. Yet we have a returning board ‘of twelve, and many a poor fellow is severely bored by it. Those horses, that were stolen from Conrad and-Bowser last week, were found the same day, tied in a field some distance from the place where stolen. The trick, no doubt, was intended for a joke. Rather Dbitter, though, for the boys. Sleighing- parties leave cur village Theafly every evening, bound for different parts of the county. Some take to the rural districts, others to neighboring towns and villages. Give usa little of the “rural” ; If any of our readers are desireus of a, good -time; and a dainty ten-cent lunch, just té help the onward march of christianity, let them attend one of qur chureh socials and be thus gratified. = gt 3

Sonteof our citizens are in favor of a new election to decide the presidential contest. - We are not in favor of a repetition of that farce, as the Republicans, being.in power, would have it nearly all their own way and would endeavor to pirpktrate still -greater frauds, were it to be done over, We say, peaceably if possible, if not, then we say let the people; who have the majority, speak in tones that must be undeérstood. We want no. war; but we want a free country, for which our forefathers ,fought, and if we can’t have a free country—where the ballot box ieeds no watching with bayonets, etc.,—~ then, we say, let us have the next best thing—a Monarchy; - which we already foresee at no great ‘distance, and of which we now have a foretaste under General Grant’s admiinistration. !

- BURGLARS CAPTURED.—Fish Lake, a /quiet little station on the C. & L. H: railroad, in LaPorte county, was thrown Into a state of feverish excitement recently by an attempted burglary and an assault with intent to kill, The scene was the store of Collom ! Bios. Mr. W. Collom, the junior member of the firm, and who is also postmaster of the place, resides on the: second floor of the store building and* was attracted to the scene by strange sounds from the room below. He cautiously descended thie stairs and found two men engaged in packing up groceries and other goods preparatory to appropriation for their indvidual use. On seeing him one of the men, Joseph Cripe, made his escape, but the other, named Hunt, was not quick enough to elude the grasp of the active postmaster. A terrible struggle ensued, during which the burglar struck Collom on the head with a hatehet, inflicting a painful scalp wound. But in-gpite of his injuries Collom kept his hands on Hunt and finally succeeded in subduing him, and subsequently caused him to be locked up in the LaPorte jail. . The capture of the other burglar was entrusted to Detective Fouke, of Elkhart, who worked up the case with such diligence and skill that he placed his hand on Cripe’s shoulder, at Niles, last Friday evening, Cripe was taken to LaPorte, where he was locked up for safekeeping. . .. . it “’/ iy ‘ b e

- Don’t forget the literary on Thursday evening. ' Wheat is coming to town slowly. Some goes by. What means this? Ligonier ahead, eh? . ' Miss Lottie Neff sojourned in our village one night last week while on her way to Albion to teach one of the primary departments of the public school at that place. She was the guest of Dr. Gants. = : We were exceeding pleased at meeting our young friend, Willie Douglass, son of Rev. A.J. Douglass, of Columbia City, on last Sabbath.

We are indebted to Miss Rosa Maggart, -for some spicy music which she favored us with; also, indebted to Mrs. Vanderford for the amiableness and benevolence shown us. i

Simeon Bunger rejoiceth as none before rejoiced. It'sa boy. We are extremely sorry” to hear of our young friend, Charlie Maggart, going to leave our place. Charlie is bound for a warmer climate. He says he is zoin{g to “G-e-0-r-g-i-a.” ' ‘Scehool is moving along smoothly. We think entiresatisfaction will be given this winter to all, which speaks well for Messrs. Grimes & Hersey. Rev. A. J. Douglass delivered an eloqueut ‘discourse at the Lutheran Church yesterday, and which I presume was his farewell sermon, as he said he could not administer the gospel for nothing. We are sorry te have him discontinue his services here, but guess the majority must rule. The corner stone to be erected by Scott & Wiley, mentioned some time ago in THE BANNER, is . under progress, and we feel assured that Cromwell will _soon be the hub of Noble county. Just wait a little, we are going to get the Canada Southern line over the B. &. O. route, which will make things lively. Some one come down with a No. 1 hotel, and then we will be blest. :

NATIONAL DISEASE. IS IY CIJBABLE 2 'TROSE who have suffered from the various and complicated forms of disedse assumed by Ca~ tarrh, and have tried many physicians and remedies without relief or cure, await the answer to this question with considerable anxiety. And well they may; for no disease that can be mentioned is 8o universally prevalent and o destructs ive to health as Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Conghs, and serions and frequently fatal affec~ tions of the lungs follow, in many cases a case of simple but neglected Catarrh. Other tgmpathet‘ic affections, sueh as deafness, impaired eye-sight and loss of sense of smell, may be referred to as minor but neverthless serious results of neglected Catarrh, bad enough in themselves, but are nothing compared with the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs likely to follow. { IT CAN BE CURED. . I’l‘ can be cured, There is no doubt about it.— The immediate relief afforded by SaxrForn’s Raprcar CURe ror CATARRH is but a slight evidence of what may follow a persistent use ‘of this remedy. The hard incrusted matter that has lodged in the nasal passages is removed with a few apglications; the ulceration and inflammation subdued and healed ; the entire membranous linings of the head are cleansed and purified.— Constitutionally it§ action is that of a powerfal purifying agent, destroying in its course through the system the acid poison, the destructive agent in catarrhal disease. ; i~ Each packas:é coutains Dr Sanford’s Improved Inbaling Tube, with tull directions for use in all cases.

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. SEA WEED TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILL.— These deservedly celebrated and popular medicines have effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that**Consumption is incurable” deterred physicians from attem‘f)twg to find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death withont making an effort to escape from a doom which they sugposed to be unavoidable. Itis now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it has been cured in a very great number of cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck’s Pulmonie Syrup alone ; and in other -cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenek’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for mere than forq{ years, ‘was supposed at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians haying pronounced his case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He wascured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many thousands, similarly affected have used Dr:Schenek’s preparations with the same remarkable sucecess. -

.Full direetions accompany each, makin%it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their lungs examined, and fer this purpose he is professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth & Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. : Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggist‘s.
