- CATARRH. Twelve Years of Suffering.

— | Gentlemen: —About twelve years ago, while traveling with Father Kemp’s Old lgolks Corncert. Troupe as a tenor singer, I took a severe cold and was ldid/up at Newark, Nl J. This cold brought on a severe attack of Catarrh, which I battled with every known remedy for four weeks without avail, and wag finally obliged to give up a most desirable position and return home unable to sing a'note. For three years afterwards I was unable to sing at alle The first attack of Catarrh had left my nasal organs and throat so semsitive that _the slightest cold/ would bring on a fresh attack, “leaving me prostrated.” In this way I continued to suffer. The last attack, thé severest 1 ever had,was terrible. I suffered the most.excruciating pain in my head, wag'so’hoarse as to be scarcely able to speak, and coaghed incesspntly. 1 tho’t I was going into quick consumption; and I firmly’ ‘believe that had these symptoms continued without relief they would have rendered me an easy victim. When in this distressing condition, I commenced the nse of Sangorp’s Rapioar Cure ¥or CATARRH, very reluctantly, I confess, as I had tried all the adyertised rcme(ﬁes without benefit. ’l‘h% first doge of this wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief. It is hardly possible for ene whose head aches, eyes ache, who can scarcely articnlate distinctly on account of the choking accumnulations in his throat, to realize how much relief I obtained from the first application of San= FORD'S Rapicar Core. Under its infinence, both: internal and external, I rapidly recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedyy since have been entirely free from Catarrh. for the firgt time in twelve years, ; Respectfully yours, 57 i !

DR® SCHENCK’S STANDARD REMEDIES. !

The standard remedies for all ﬁiseases of the lungs are ScueNok’s PULMONIO SYRUP, SOHENOK'S Ses. WEED Tonic, and SOHENOK'S [MANDRAKE Pivus, and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected. . :

To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes hig unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. ®

The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. g To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do thig, Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Shenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to clganse the gtomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act on theliver,removing all obstructions,relaxthe gall bladder the bile starts freely and the liver is soon relieved..

Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentie stimujant and alterative; the alkili of which it is composed mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by tening up the stomach to a healthy condition, go that the food and theg’ Pulmonic Syrup will mq{ke good blood ; then the lungs heal, and the patient will gurely get well if chre is taken to prevent {fresh cold. Fretas b o

All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either personally or by letter, can do so at his principal oflice corner of Sixth & Arch Sts., Phil., every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists throughout the country. march

VEGETINE PURIFIES the BLOOD, Renovates and Invigorates the Whole System. _

(TS MEDICINAL PROPERTIER ARE ALTERATIVE, . TONIC, SOLVENT, AND DIURETIC. ,

VEGETINE is made exclusively from the juices of carefully selected barks, roots and herbs, and g 0 strongly concentrated, that it will eflectually eradicate from the system every taintof Serofula, Scrofulous Humor, Tumors, Cancers, Cancerous Humors, Erysipelas, Salt Rhenm, Syphilitic Diseases, Canker, Faintness at the Stompch, and all disesasges that arise from impure blood. Scintieas Inflammatory and Chromnic Rhenmatism, Neuralgia, Goutand Spinal Complaints can only be effectually cured through theblood. L P s

For Uleers and’Eruntive Diseases of the Skin; Pustuies, P:Emples, Blotches, Boils, Tetter, Scald Head, 'and Ringworm, VEGETINE has never failed to effect a permanent ¢ure. . : For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints, Dropsy. Female Weakness, Leucorrboea, arising from internal ulceration, and uterine diseases and General Debility, VEGETINE acts directly upon the causes of these complaints, It invigorates and strengtheuns the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation, cures ulceration and regulates the bowels. - i i iy s A iy

For Cstarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Costiveness, Paipitatior of the heart, Headache, Piles, Nervo. sness, and General Prostration of the Nervous System, no medicine has given snch perfect satisfaction ag the VEGETINE. . It purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and possesses a controlling power over the nervour system. The remarkable cures effected by VEGETINE have icduced many physicians and apothecaries whom :we know t@ prescribe and use it in their own families, .y o o el 5

In fact, VEGETINE is the best remedy yet discovered for the above diseases, and 18 the only reliable BLOOD PURIFIER yet placed before the public. : y i

THE BEST EVIDENCE, x The following letter from Rev. E. § Best, Pastor of M. E. Church, Natick, Mass., will be read with interest by many physicians, Also, thosge suffering from the same disease as afilicted the son of the Rev. E. S. Best, No person can doubt this testimony. as there is no doubt about the curative powers of VEGETINE " : '~ NaTiok, Mass., Jan. 1, 1874. Mr. H. R. Srevens: Dear Sir—We have good reason for regarding your VEGETINE a medicine of the %reatest value. ' We feel agsured that it has’ been the means of saving our son'glife. He is' now seventeen years of age; for the l'x?%t two years he hag suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him thought his recovery impossible. A council of able physicians could give us but the faintest hope of his ‘ever rallying, two of the numbér declaribg that he was beyond’'the reach of human remedies. that even amputation conld not guve him, as he had not- vigor enough toendure the operation. .?ust, then we commenced giving him VEGETINE, and from that time to tbe present he has been continuously improving. He has lately resumed his studies, thrown away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfuls ly and strong: ! : "Though there is still some discharge from the opening where the limb was%lauc ed, we have the fullest confidence that in a little time he will be perfectly cared. ) ‘ [ He has taken about three dozen bottles of VearTINE, butTately uses but little as he declares that he is too well to be taking medicine. ~ * - Respectfuily yours, ~ E. S. BEST. ! -+ Mps. L. C. F., BEST. | ' 'ALL DISEASES of THE BLOJD. If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perrect health after trying different {)hyslcinns, many remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is thig medicing performing such great enres? 1t works in the blood, in the circufating flnid. It can truly be c¢alled the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source 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 atfention.

Recommend it Heartily,

: Souvru BosTon, Feb. 7, 1870. Mr. Brpvens: Dear Bir—l have taken several botties of your VEGETINE, arid am convinced it ig a valuable remedy for Dyspegsia.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY+MARCH 29, 1877.

A Deputy Sheriff’s Story.

I had lately been appointed a deputy sheriff in a backwoods county. I had gone West to begin life, and this be--Ing the first employment offered me, I gladly accepted it. > “Here, Scott,” said the head deputy, as I entered the office one morning, “is a warrant for you to serve, it’s for Jim Dade. You'll see directions there how to find him,” he added, tossing mesome papers. . < .| ;

Elliot, the head deputy, had treated me far from civilly from the start. He seemed piqued at the partiality shown me by our principal, who was serving his last term, and ‘'whose influence for the succession, to which Elliot aspired, the latter was especially anxious

to secure. s 3 : ' “The warrant appears to be an old one,” I remarked, after examining the date. <o / 5

“More reason that its execution be not further delayed,” was the gruff response. . ' L ; I made no reply, but ascertaining, from a memorandum pinned to the warrant, the lodality of Dade’s residence, I prepared to set out at onceto the duty assigned me. |

The writ contained a serious criminal charge. But what'manner of a man the aceused might be—whether one likely to obey or to resist the law’s commands—-I1 could not surmisge. As Mr. Elliot had said nothing about furnishing assistance, I hesitated to broach the subject fearing he' might attribute the suggestion to timidity. The country was thinly settled, and abounded in game; and, being somewhat of asportsman, on starting on my mission I donned my hunting aceoutrements and shouldered my Spencer rifle.

T went afoot, for two reasons—first, the nearest way through the forest, and mext, I had a better chance of getting. a shot at something on the way. 4 ; i i 3 I sauntered along leisurely, keeping, for a time, a keen lookout; butseeing nothing worth” the waste of powder, my thoughts, gi;a.dually settled down to the business I had in hand.” I must confess I wished it were over.. Jim Dade might prove to be an ugly hand to ‘deal with in a lonesome place, without witnesses. At any rate, the testimonial to his character, then in my pocket, was not such as to increase my confidence. : “Do you know Mr. Dade ?” Tinquired at length of a settler whom I found cleaning up a patch of ground near his cabin. i , “Jim Dade?” he asked. | “Yes,” I replied, “can you direct me to his house?” ‘ ;

_“You’'ll hardly find him thar, stranger,” was the answer, “you see, him an’ the sheriff’s folks been keepin’ outer one aneother’s way like, for awhile back. Jim, he bunks in the woods mostly, with his rifle for a bedfellow, an’ t'others, I guess, don’t keer to schrouge him too clost.” { “Well, is he a very dangerous character ?! :

“Wall, no—not ef you give him his own way an’ take all hissass, an’ don’t jaw back. ' But Jim is a leetle kantankerous sometimes, ef you rile him. Jest ask Jabe Elliott,” continued the settler, with a chuckle. “He came out here to nab Jim awhile ago. Wall, Jim, he pijhted his rifle at him, and sarved _his notis onto him to git, and Jabe did git, makin a leetle the best time ever seed in these parts.” : This cleared up considerably Mr. Elliot’s mofive in detailing me for the present service. bt _ “Ef you’ve partic’lar business with Jim,” the settler added, “you moutrun agin him over.thar in them woods, crost the gulch,” waving his hand in the direction indicated. 5

I felt it my duty not to return without making an effort to accomplish the object .of my coming, so thanking the man for his information, I started to make what use of it I might. = I had not proceeded far when the report of a gun drew my attention. Following the report I soon came in sight of a man standing beside a fine buck, probably just brought down_by the shot L had heard. 'The huntsman was in the act of reloading his rifle, which he finished by putting on the cap as I approached. ! - J/Turning quickly at the sound of my advance, -the face he revealed was to the last degree sinister and repulsive. Something teld me I had found my man. If so, it was no child’s ‘play I had before me.

“You’ve had better luck than myself, friend,” I accested the hunter blandly; “I’ve been out all day without getting a shot.” ; “Yould likely a missed ef you had,” he roughly growled, with a contemptuous glance at my new rifle and trappings. | _ o

“I count myself a pretty fair shot,” I rejoined. i iy “Humph !—you sniptious chap ain’t much out yer in the woods.” ) “I would. dike to try a shot at a mark with you,” I said pretending to be a little nettled. | ! “Stranger, do you want ter have the consate tooked out o yer?” returned the woodsmari. JLI “I’'m willing for a trial of skill with: you,” I said. o ; “Name your distance, and bet your gun agin mine,” he said. : “Sixty. yards, and done,” ;was my AMAWEL L o s 1 W%tting a little powder, he blacked a round spot on. the white }oark of a beach, indicating thecentre by the intersection of two lines across it. The distance was stepped off and -all was ready. : \ ‘“Which one shoots first?” queried my oppon,erit. “Go en,” I said, “I want to see what I have got tr)) beat.” : : i . *“lt’s all ‘one to me,” he answered,

leveling his rifle carelessly, and firing with a quick aim. “You’ll find I've druv the centre,” he said, as he advanced to look atit. {And soindeed he had. : <

- “Wall, it’s your time now,” he added with a look of triumph, ' “Wait & minute,” I said “your name is Jim Dade?” . B : “Wall, what in thunder difference does that make?” ’

“Or;fy this,” I ariswered, “I’m a deputy sheriff, and I have a warrant for your arrest. “Here’s a copy,” and L thrust it into his hand. \

“Wall, what are you going to do about it ?”- ; “Take you with me dead'or alive!” I exclaimed, stepping back and preseuting my rifle. ' ‘ /The desperado saw the game was up. He gave me a fierce scrowl, and glanced around as if meditating fight.. “If you move a step,” I said in a determined tone, “I’ll send a bullet thro’ your head. I’'m marksman enough for ‘that, you’ll find.” , _ . “Put your wrists in these,” 1 added, holding out a pair of handecuffs, at the same time standing aloof and keeping a sharp lookout Jeast I should be -gprung upon and overpowered unawares. Coe . “It’s a drotted mean trick you've gerved me, after drawin’ my.fire,” whined Jim, completely cowed. With a snap the manacles were fastened, and taking my prisoner’s arm,

I marched him to jail without further trouble. Lo The story of Jabe Elliot’s fast time got out before ngxt election, and that worthy, instead of gaining his succession,’ retired to the shades of private life. e : |

2 . ’———-—-"*—_———é——— = | > P : ‘Mr. Diogenes. L This singular man lived in Greece. ;He was distinguished for his eccfen—tricities, bad manners, and bad dispoPsition. It was his chief business to find fault. TFor example, he took a lantern one day when the sun was shining brightly and went out to search for an honest man, thereby insinuating that such persons were exceedlngly scarce. When Alexander, a disltinguished military gentleman, paid (s:im a visit, and inquired what he could do for him, he had! the impudence to tell him to “get out of his sunshine.” To cap the climax of his oddities, he dressed like a beggar and liyed in a tub! He was a sour, crabbed, cré‘sty‘ old bachelor. We infer that he had no wife, first, because history does not mention her; second, because no woman would take kindly to one of his habits, dress, or %mners. or aspire to become mistress® of his .mansion. “There was an.old woman who liver()l in a shoe,” it is true, but the woman who lived in a fub, and especially with such a companion, has not been heard from. The misanthropic spirit which possessed this man was doubtless due to disordered digestion and a biliousness, one of the prominent features of which is a morose, fault-finding disposition. The tongue is heavily coated, giving rise to a bad taste, the appetite is not good, and the patient feels dull, sleepy or dizzy, and is apt to be fretful. TUnfortunately, Diogenes lived several centuries befere Dr. Pierce’s PleasantPurgativePellets were invented, a few doses of which would have relieved him of his “bile,” and enabled’ him.to find scores of “honest men” without the aid of his lantern.. Under. their magic influence, combined with that of the Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his blood, he might have been led to take a mote cheerful view of life; to exchange his tub for a decent habitation, ;to “spruce up” in personal appearance, and at last have taken a wife to mend his clothes and his manners, both of which *were in evident need of repairs, and become the happy sire of little Diogeneses who would have handed down to posterity the name, not of a cynic philosopher, ‘ but of a cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous man!! i

WHAT THE CARPET-BAGGER REMEMBERED, And How a Visiting Statesman Changed His Mind After March 4th. : ‘WASHINGTON, March 14th.—He was from Louisiana, and if Hayes’s policy continues he is likely to be from Louisiana, for some time. . He handed me a cigar out.of the State contingent fund, and his clothes were out of the School Board fund,: and he had-a mile or two of broken down /levees in his shirt studs, and alittle matter in State bonds on his little finger. So he went on: I shouldn’t mind so much about all this if I didn’t remember Noyes's speech. You know Noyes was a vis iting statesman. Then we counted them in, and now they are counting us out; and one night we were all together—Matthews, and Garfield, and Noyes, and Kellogg, and Packard, and all the rest that-was interested in —in—Hayes. There was some bad news from Florida that night; looked as if all our work would go for nothing, and we, too, as we have; and they put Noyes up to make a speech ; seems like he talked easy—sort of had a speech on tap. And he said —well what do you think he did say ?—that it was hard to meet defeat at the North, and to lose Hayes, and give the Gov‘ernment to its enemies; but what really made their hearts bleed was leavin’ us, and abandoning the loyal white -and the thrice loyal black man to the tender mercies of the rebel and the foul cruelty of the bulldozer. Well, sir,” he most cried; and we—we most cried, and you wouldn’t believe it.” “QOh, yes, I would.?” T

“Well, I wouldn’t. He met me and a crowd of us the other day, and he called us damned carpet-baggers. He did, indeed ; and said we ought to leave for the good of the party. I justwish he would be a visiting statesman again, that’s all.” . |

THE PARIS EXPOSITION OF 1878, The U. S. to be RRepresented. . WASHINGTON, March 15.—A delegation headed by Nathan Appleton, of Boston, waited upon the President to-day and subsequently upon the Sec--retary of State with regard to the represfn't;ation of this Government at the Paris Exposition next year. Congress having failed to appropriate the $500,000 proposed for this object, this delegatjon intend to raise a sufficient amount to insure the recognition of the United States at the Exposition. While the President has no authority of law to designate any one as Commissioner, it is not improbable, in the absence of legislation, that he will request 'certain gentlemen to represent the United States unofficially.- It was proposed by the delegation to open in Washington,” Philadelphia and New York offices in connection wifh the Exposition. : The State of Connecticut has already provided -for a commission, and it is probable that other. States will follow its example. Should there be an extra session of Congress, the President will communicate with it in regard to the Exposition, and ask that official representation to it be authorized. : o s
