It is House bill 98, approved March 13, 1876, which provides that theatres, opera houses, public buildings, museums, churches, colleges, seminaries-and school buildings shall hang all doors for the pur-pose-of Ingress and. egress thereto so that they shall swing outwardly; provided, that rooms in,school houses or churcl}_gﬁ where th_e scholars or meetings:assemble on the ground floor are exempt fromsthe provisions of-this act. Persons“having charge of such buildings must ‘comply with its requirements wi{hfn sixty days from | date. of approval on penalty: of not more than s#l,ooo fine and imprisonment not exceeding six months. —Just at this time,~when our temperance friends are making a special effort to advance their cause-in this 'commu'nity‘,‘ thefollowing ifem, from the Elkhart Review, is 'so applicable here that we take pleasure in trans--mitting it to our columns: *lt is well known that some men who have hitherto béen the slaves of intemperate habits are honestly and seriously trying to reform. These men have a hard battle to fight, and all who have -any humaun sympathies should refrain from putting any temptation in their way. Even though some have been boon companions of these, they should so far respect .an honest motive of a friend as not,ﬁo dare interpose any.ob-_ stacle. If-the feeling.is not to help, | at least do not retard. Be careful how, by offering the glass to your, friend, ‘ you put before him a temptation that may work ruin. Respect the honest ‘ attempt, at reform.” - e .. —We have placed a number of bills . in‘the hands of D. P. Miller, at Albion, for collection. That gentleman informs us that several persons, upon having their accounts presented for ‘payment, put him off with the remark that they-would “see Stoll and fix it with him,” while a few others ~expressed sonie doubt as to the exact correctness of the bills against them. Now, while we, as a matter of course, would be very ‘well pleased to have. these gentlemen favor us with, a personal call, we beg leave to state that the promise to “see Stoll” is too indefinite and does not meet our pur--poses or requirements. These accounts weré placed in Mr. Miller’s hands because we want the use of the money and because it is utterly impossible for us to make the rounds and collect these claims oyrself. Several weeks of faithful work have been devoted - to getting these ac‘counts in shape for collection, and _unless they are squared up as indicated, much of thisYabor will have been in vain. - As to the correctness of the claims, we can assure all concerned that special pains have been taken to avoid errors, and we know ‘the bills in Mr. Miller’s hands to be | strictly ¢orrect. Therefore, we say | gentlemen: Honor tliese drafts and

In this case we deem that paper badly prejudiced. - : —We are informed: that the Foerster Brothers, of the Ligonier Brewery, are meeting with excellent success in their efforts to supply their customers with ‘Lagerfßeer of a . quality that compares very favorably with the productions of Toledo and Chicago breweries.

They are having warm weather there now, so that immediately 'on his arrival Jonathan found it necessary to don a suit of summer clothes. Further particulars, as to the prime incentive to Mr. Simmons’ journey to the Pacific slope, will be found in its appropriate department elsewhere in to-day’s paper. ’Tis well, and we beg to join in the Tound of congratulations that arise from hosts of friends in this locality. The “spark” that was kindled between Jonathan and Mary years ago never ceased to burn until it has finally “struck a match.” May it henceforth continue to grow and brighten, illu‘minating and cheéring the pathway of ‘this happy couple throughout life’s journey. fis B e

—On Tuesday a very peculiar storm passed over this section of the country. About the ‘middle of the afternoon thick, dark clouds began to gather, and soon there was a succession of sharp flashes of lightning, accompanig’d by heavy peals of thunder, which! proved to be the forerunnerof quite a heavy shower of sleet and snow that continued till late at night. - Trees were soon loaded.and bending beneath the accumulated weight of.snow and ice, and insomie instances Jarge branches were crushed to the ground. Evergreen trees, on account of t}ieir foliage, suffered seriously, and in some cases were entirely ruined by being crushed under this great weight.

He had been a member of the Lutheran church for eight years and up to the time of hLis death was a devoted christian dnd kind father, He leaves a family and many friends to mourn his loss. The funeral services were conducted at the'Lutheran church by Rev. g Caskey, of Ligonier, who delivered an able discourse from Isaiah x 1; 6. : The schools in this township have ‘closed, and all, no doubt, have been satisfaétory tothe people, as the teachers were well .drilled for their work.

Attempted Murder and Suicide at Elk- : hart,

Aleck Carpenter, of Elkhart, while out riding with Miss Pheeba Reese on the 13th, shot her twice in the head, making dangerous but probably not fatal wounds. ' After the first shots were fired, Miss Reese jumped from thie sleigh where a tussle ensued and two shots more were fired, but without effect. The woman then escaped to a farmer’s house, and Carpenter then evidently attempted to commit suicide, as he was afterwards tracked by a bloody trail towards Christiania creek, and up to Friday his body had not been found. 'The Review, from which we glean the above, says there -was: no known 'motive for the double crime..' About a year ago Carpenter attempted to commit suicide by. poigoning, and it is thought that his mind may be affected. e

. CARPENTER CAPTURED. — A telegram from Elkhart, dated March 18th, says Carpénter, the man who shot ‘Miss Reese on Tuesday, was caught in Beebe’s barn, one mile north of the city, Saturday: morning. When found he could scarcely walk. He had eaten nothing since the day of his flight; and slept in the barn at night, and wandered in. the woods during the day. An ‘examination showed his feet; legs, and knees terribly frozen. The physician thinks it will be necessary to amputate themr. He claims to rTemember nothing from Tuesday until yesterday. He is now under bonds. Examination will take place as soon as he is able. S

Seiatiea; Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Goutand Spinal Compiatnts can only be effectnally cyred throngh the blood. ; ; | For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of the Skin; Pustutes, Pimples, Bilotches, Boils, Tetter, Scald Head, and Ringworm, VEGETINE has never failed to effect a permanent cure; ; B For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints, Dropsy, Female Weakness, Leuceorrhoea, arising from internal ulceration, and uterine diseases and Géneral Debility, VEGETINE acts directly upon the canees of these complaints.” It invigorates and ;trengthens the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation, cures nlceration and regulates the bowels. i e n e

For Catarrh; Dyspepsia, Habitual Costiveness, Paipitation of the heart, Headache, Piles, Nervo smess, and General PProstration of the Nervons System, no medicine has gév;en snchgwerfect satisfaction as the VEGETINE. It purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and possesses a controlling power over the nervous system. " The remarkable cures effecied by VEGETINE have izduced many physicians and apothecaries whom we know to prescribe and use it in their own families. g In fact, VEGETINE is the best remedy yet discovered for the above diseases, and 1s the only reliable BLOOD PURIFIER yet placed before the public.

THE BEST EVIDENCE.

The following leiter from Rev. E. § Best, Pastor iof M. E. Church, Natick, Mass., will be read with interest bgﬂmany physicians, . Also, thnge suffering. from the same disease é,as afflicted the son of the Rev. E. S. Best. No persoa can doubt this testimony. as there is no doubtdbout the curative powers of VEGETINE: Fhegpos : > Nariok, Masgl, Jan. 1, 1874. Mge. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir—We have good reason for régarding your VEGETINE a medicine of the gredtest value. We feel agsured that it has been-the means of saving our son’s life. #He is now seventeen years of age; for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous aflfection, and was go far reduced that nearly all who saw him thounght his recovery impossible. A council of able physicians could give: us but the faintest hope of his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that he was beyond the reach of human-remedies, that even amputation could not save him, as he had not vigor.enough toendure the operation. Just then we commenced giving him VEGETINE, and from that time to the present he has been continuous!y improving. He has lately resumed his studies, thrown away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong. : . Though there is still some discharge from the opening where the limb was lanc ¢d. we have the fullest confidence that in a little time he will be perfectly cured. - ¢ He has taken about three dozen bottles of VeaETINE, but lately uses but little. as he declares that he is too well to be taking medicine. ' Respectfuily yours, E.S.BEST. |

I Mes. L. C.'F. BEST. ALL DISEASES of THE BLOJD. If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the p_séient, to perrect health after trying different physicians, many remedieg, suffering for years, is it ‘not conclusive proof, 1f you are a sufferer, youn can be cured? Why is this medicine performing such igreat cnres? It works in the blood. ig the circuating fluaid. It can truly be called the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The greatsource of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. - Recommend it Heartily. ‘ i Soutn Boston: Feb. 7, 1870. Mr. Stivens: Dear Sir—ll have taken several bottles of your VEGETINE, and am conviuced it is a valuable remedy for Dyspepsia, Kidney Complaint and general debility of the spleen. I can heartily recommend it o all suffering from the above complaints. Yours respectfully. ot .- MRS. MONROE PARKER, : . 386 Athens Street. ggs ol — . 'L o4w PREPARED by H. R.
