We have just completed a model to suit ourself for sleighing, but as the snow has gone, we will not build ours this time. . - : - The soliloquy whiéh has so often presented itself to our mind, why our merchants do not meet with better trade, was solved by reading an editorial in the Chicago T'ribune of Sunday, as follows: “A merchant who does not advertise can no more succeed in drawing custom than can a young lady without a bustle and a few pounds ot falsehairsucceed indrawing beaux.” The above is such a complete illustration that our merchants can compare | notes for themselves and profit'by atlvertising freely. o ‘ The Sparta teachers met at the school-house in this place last Satur- | day for the purpose of holding a town- ‘ ship institute.

First in order was musie, by the choir, and then Elocution, by Geo. Lane, forming a class of the teachers present. We give Mr. Lane credit for ‘being a fine elocutionist. We were again favored with music by the choir, after which an exercise in Arithmetic was conducted by Mr.. Knapp, giving the different methods of teaching. The institute then closed with musie.

How quiet the town! No sliding down hill on sleds; no skating in the streets and on the sidewalks; no dogs running through the streets howling their last sad farewell to the friendly’ greeting of a well-aimed club; no vamoosing out of barber-shops, hotels and restaurants; no loud words from the hack-driver when starting after the mail; surely, school is in session. :» We still hear the faint tinkling of the sleigh-bell amid the ’Ethu'nderinjg noise of the sleds, as if pleading to be delivered from the ungrateful sounds Wonder why it is we have so many printers? They can’t be the best of men, for many a good fellow is persuaded by them to act the part of a “devil.” Only a short time ago one of our amiable little friends in Ligonier was by a printer clothed with satanic powers and is now working in THE BANNER office. i

DEATH OF CAPT. CROXTON.—The popular and esteemed landlord of/thé Violet House, at Goshen, Capt. J. L. Croxton, died last Thursday morning, in theB7th year of his age. He was a rather remarkable man, as the following, from the South Bend Daily Register, will indicate: . “He was a gallant soldier during the war, was a man of considerable wealth, and widely and favorably kno;wn. He had been around the world as a sailor, had visited every State in the Union, was finely educated, a wide and intelligent reader, and a man of the most versatile qualifications. He was quick to resent an insult or succor a friend, true in his friendships, and bitter in his ehmities; kind to the unforfunate and generous. to the poor. His memory will live long after his body shall have crumbled into dust, and the good deeds done in the flesh will remain a monument more durable than the sculpfured marble. Peace to his ashes.””

SWORN STATEMENT

BOSTON DRUGGIST.

W oy 4 Gentlemen:—l hereby certify that I have had Catarrh for ten fears. and for the last six eiure have .been a tfitrib e sufferer. I wasrendered partially (tlee“'lhad' ;nuzzinﬁ in th; he::!d, pmful across t(l)xle mple, dizzy spells, weak and palnfal eyes, swollen and ulcerated tonsils, hard and yconsl;nm; cough, severe pain across the coest, and ayer{ indicalion of consumption. My head ached all the time. The matter accumnlated so rapidly in my head and throat that I could not keep them free Frequently at night 1 would spring out of bed,i’ seemed to me, atthe point of suffocation. I would then have recourse to cvery means in my power to dislodge the mucus from my throat and head before being able to sleep again, For a period of 51X years my tonsils were ulcerated and so much -inflamed that I could with dificulty swallow. I finally consulted an eminent sargeon in ro%ard to an operation on‘them, but at his request postponed it, The constant inflammation and ulceration in my throat, caused by the poisonous matter dropping down from my head, had go rrrituced and inflaimed my lungs thatl comihegd incessantly,—a deep, hard coungh. Meanwhile my system began to show the effects of this disease, so that 1 Jost flesh, grew pale, and showed every symptom of an early death py consumption. -When matters had reached thisstage, or about gix months ago, I began the use of SANrorD’s Rapicarn Cure ror CATARRH. After using the first bottle I began to improve rapidlg. The first dose seemed to clear my head as I had not known it to be for years. . It seemed gradually to arrest the discharges. Itstopped my cyugh in three days, By using it as a gargle I soon reduced the inflammation and swelling of my tonsils, so that they soon ceased to trouble me. The soreness across my chest disappeared, tne buzzing noises in my head ceased, my senses of hearing and ot seeing wereé completely restored, and every symptom of disease that had reduced me to the verge of the grave disappeared by the use of SANFOrRD’S Rap~ SOAL CURE ¥OR CATARRH. g I have been thus explicit because, as a'druggist, I have seen a great deal of suffering from Catarrh. and hope to convince many that this is a greatremedy. - i I am familiar with the treatment of Catrrrh as practiced by the best physicians, and have consulted the most eminent abou! my case. I have used every kind of remedy and apparatus that has appeared during a period of six years past, and have, while following their use, taken greatjcare of my general health, but obtained no relief or encouragement from any of them. A

Since curing myself with SANFORD’S RADIOAL Curs, I have recommended it in over one hundred dases without a single case of failure, and have iéu numerous instances received wholesale orders tom parties to ' whom I havesold oue bottle. This is the only patent medicine I have ever recommended, never Laving believed in them before, although constantly engaged in their sale. 5 Very gratefully yours, Boston, Feb. 23, 1875. G. F.

The amount of'tes"ti\menyvin favor; of Pr. Schenck’s Pulmonic ‘Syrup as a cure for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be brought td support the pretensions of any other medicine. See Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, containing the certificates of many pergons of the high= est respectability, who have been restored to health. after being pronounced incurable by physicians of ackno‘\véledzed ability. Dr, Schenck’s Pulmenic Syrup é‘lipne has cured many, as these evidences will show 5 but the cure is often 'pr'omoted by the employment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, aecording to directions, Dr. Schenck certiﬁ'es that most any cake of consumption may be curéd. . : . | Dr. Schneck is professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch-Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice mast be addressed. | S e ] 1f you wish to grow vegetables. for sale, read "GARDENING FOR PROFIT!
