I tried the various liniments and rhenmatic cures, but without the least beneflt, when my son, a druggist suggested one of your CbLLINE VOLTAIO PLASTERS. The effect was ¢lmost magical, for,to my grateful surprise, I was almost immediate‘\y well again, and was able to work upon my farm as usual, whereas, before the application of the Plaster, I could do nothing, and every step gave me pain. A few weekg since. one year from the first sttack, the disease returned, but I am happy to say the second Plaster proved as eflicactous ag the first, and I am now well. My w.fe wishes me to ald that, 6ne Plaster has cured her of a very lame back. We think there is nothing in the world of remedies that can compare with the CoLLins’ VoLtalo Prasters for Rheumatism and Lame Back, and cheerfully recommend them to the suflering.

C 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. j i To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to'ido thig, Dr. Sclienck’s Mandrake Pills and Shenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely gsed to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pillsact on the liver,removing all obstructions,relax the gall bladder the bile starts freely.and the liver is soon refieved.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1877. |

- MY FRIEND’S SECRET. A TEMPERANCE STORY. Quiet and gentlemanly in his manner, unobstrusively he went about doing good in his own peculiar but effectual way. Singularly enough that way was to frequent the saloons and bar rooms, or more strictly their neighborhood, and waiting his opportunity, to persuade young men and old away from these haunts. And many did this earnest judicious worker save.— Many to-day remember his kindly face, his .tall stooping form. .In his clear blue eyve there was a pathetic, pleading power nearly resistless. With face-cleanly shaven, his hair perfectly white, fallen down to his shoulders, he left a picture one could not forget. Many young, middle aged, even old men had heled home from drunken debauch, kindly caring for them —and when they were sober and realized his kindness,” he would plead with them.to leave their evil ways. ~ There were many on earth that blessed him, and I believe many in heaven.” He very rarely referred to his past life.

We had been brought together from common sympathy in a case of peculiar interest. One of our neighbors had become raving from the effects of rum. My friend volunteered to spend the night with me at the house, to protectaninvalid mother,and helpless children from their frantic father. Fortunately the exhausted man slept nearly all night. .And it was that night he tcld me his story. Bl We had been sitting long without speaking. A sadness that could be felt settled upon my companion. -He sat with bowed head in the hght of the open fire, and as he sat, It_fwas filled with an intense ‘desire fo know what had prematurely .whitened his hair and bent his torm. Intuitively T knew it would wound him to refer to it. Mine could not be the hand to pitilessly pull the cloth from the face of hisdead. Andl think that heloved me for respecting his.sorrow. I was burning with desire to know, yet was careful not to let my unavoidable interest be degraded into mere curiosity. That night my forbearance to question was rewarded. | :

It was a littleafter midnight, when after a long silence he turned toward me with a far off look in his eyes, and said half dreamily: s “You are one of these few ' persons who have never questioned me about causes that led to my peculiar life.” “I should no more intrude a question upon your personal sorrows or misfortunes, than I should go unbi%— den into your house,” replied I, hardly knowing what to say. A 5 I/was not disappointed, for after a few moments of silence he continued:

Thirty years ago I was a mechanie, receiving good pay. and I was master of my business. I owned a cottage that 1 had built myself, and might have been happy with my 'wife and little boy. But gradually the habit of drinking had been gaining upon me, and to a considerable extent affected my business. My wife, never strong, was sadly and slowly sinking in:health, which fact strangely I did not realize. ‘One night after I had been idle for a few weeks, I returned home to find lier unusually feeble, and, was myself moiose and partially i,nto*xicated. She was s 9 ill that she had heen unable to prepare’ supper. Upon going to the cupboard T found -the decanter . of. liquor that I kept there empty. The thirst for rum was .upon me with all its power, for I was but partially recovered from a week’s severe dissipation, Calling my little boy, a ncble Hittle fellow of 12 years, lordered him to go to the nearest grogery and obtain a bottle of liguor. The littie fellow pleaded against going; but I was linexorable, and harshly forbade his questioning, and the dutiful little fel- | Tow with tears in his eyes—coming to lfn_le for 2 kiss, which I refused, went ‘on the errand whigh cost him his life. Had I known that night whagp happened while I waited iith sullen impatience for his return, my life would ‘have heen a very different one, and his would haye been saved, and perhaps his mother’s. 1 had always been very striet with him " about street quarrels with rude boys on the street, and had once severely punished him for one, with the threat that if he-ever engaged in another, a severer: one should be the consequence. - :

That you may more fully understand his part in the events that I am to relate, I will {ell yoy what I did not -then know, what befel him on that sad errand, . e ‘Blinded with tears of shame and sorrow he made his way to the place to which I had sent him, which then proved to be full of loafers of all ages. Although he could not hide the traces of his tears, in. his manly way he executed the degrading errand. As he turned froia the piage, their drunken chafling and banter was turned pitilessly on him, One drunken fellow who hated me for my success, coward as he was, called out: 2

“Say, Bob, how do you like doing errands for a drunkard ?” !

Burning with shame, little Bobbie hurried along, followed by two or three boys ¢lder than himself, bent upon the fun that the cowardly brute had begun. . ... i :

“Let’s daub his clean clothes, take down his pride a little, and get a swig of his father’s rum,” said the leader as they followed close upon Robbie in the gathering darkness. The boy had been a favorite with his teachers and af the head of the clags, much to the chagrin of these fellows, and under my instructions had not neticed the insults they had heaped upon him. Now they had him where they could rexenge themselves. ~Rushing across the open 10f, th_egl came upon an unfrequented place that'he must pass. . “What's your hurry, Bob, ain’t you goin’ to speak to fellers?” said the leader as they ranged across ‘his way. “Boys, I wish you would let me go alpng.. I haven'’t troubled you.” “(tive ns a swig from that black bottle and wa y/ll.” Wi “Boys, I can’t; it would not be right; and tgen I am’in a burry, and must notidelay.” = - et b

#Oh, he can’t delay. Say Bob, ain’t it ’bout time ter stop tryin’ ter be a gentleman, when ye have to go and Fftfh rum for a drunkard? -Delay! alks big, don't ke, Jimp”? |

The next instant this young bully was sprawling in the streef, from a blow that Bob gave him full in the face. The rest of them fell upon him, and in the struggle that followed, his bottle was broken and he was congiderably bruised and smeared with dirt, which really was what they wanted to do, more than to harm him. = All this while I was sullenly waiting, wondering at his long absence. ‘ In my partially drunken state when he returned I was exasperated at the loss of the liquor, and was annoyed that he had descended to a blow with those lqw fellows. I had promised to punish him severely for the same offence.” And when he:refused to tell why he fought with the boys, I determined that he should tell me. The boy loved me. I had not fallen be. low this respect; I was not a gutter

drunkard; I was still a gentleman to the world, and a kind though strict father to him. : *

“Father, I can’t tell,” said he. Ican not detail the sickening scene that followed. In that state I punished that brave boy to make him tell what he had fought for. ! His only words were a piteous “Father, I can’t tell.” I punished him until he fell fainting. ' My wife plead with him. Brutally I asked if she would make him more stubborny WZile I talked with him, he would cling around my neck and sob. My wife, after 1n vain trying to dissuade me, had gone away where she should not hear the blows that fell upon her boy. v i When the dear little fellow fainted, I went to the chamber where she was upon the bed, and a bright red spot was upon the pillow where her head rested. A sudden attack of hemorhage. I was thoroughly sobered now. That night she died. As I knelt by the bedside that night, I promised her and God that I would never drink again. And with a smile of joy, one white hand in mine, the other resting gently upon my face, as it rested near hers, she took w ¢ promise up to God. When little Robbie awoke the next day from a troubled, feverish sleep, he did not wake to consciousness. The delirium of a fever was upon him, and from that fever he never recovered. A /short time before he died, which was about one week from his mothey’s death, he knew me and could conv‘ex;‘se. He seemed to awake from that terrible night. = .

The lefter which has furnished the text'for most of the despatehes is nearly a month old, having been written on March 13 to a prominent officer in the Treasury Department. Another of much the same purport, but couclied in somewhat stronger language, has been received since, as already stated. Applications for a copy of the first have been refused, but. a paraphrase of the passage relating to Hayes is as follows: “Can you makg out Hayes’s policy ?° Do you think he intends to abandon all his old friends ? If he does he will sail on stormy seas for four yeara to ome, Republicans: aronnd here hope for the best, but are gadly demoralized by his course.” The early date of the letter must Le borne in mind in reading this paragraph.

Last _Saturday several of the neighbors children gathered at the regidenc‘e of Mr. Aaron Taylor, 414 miled southeast of Angola,|to have a play spell together.

i The vandalism displayed by people, lin depopulating our lakes, and especially. Syracuse, is deserving the, severest censure from all right-minded citizens. Not a night, but the lake is -covered with lights, prosecuting what is known as fire fishing, and numerous ‘gill nets are located 'at convenient ‘places, so'that it is a little surprising that -any escape. 'Wagon loads, yes, wagon loads of pike and bass are ‘weekly taken to Goshen, Lig%}iepand ‘contiguous towns and exposed-for sale with the greatest impunity, every fish bearing the marks either of the net or, Spear, and all this in violation of law and the.sensibilities of law abiding people. There is a tribe of semi-bar-barians, residing on contiguous territory, who as genuine ferocious vandals, excel any heretofore known. They aref pecuniarily well to do, but rude and savage socially, obfaining subsistence by fishing, hunting and gurgling poor whisky, the more in contravention to law, the bettersuited to their heathenish customs. The names of the members of this tribe will be published ere long as ‘we desire to give them the notoriety they seek. If we should say some of thém haye befare | been arrested, tried, and convicted for misdemeanor and - fraud we don’t think we. could be prosecuted for li bel. If this class of barbaric vandals can over-ride all law with impunity—if none are to be found sufficiently audacious to attack them-—if they can openly -spear and net fish in Syracuse Lake—if they can flaunt their trophies unmolested, then are the :wholsome days of law abiding sportsmen numbered. ;- o :

Prosecutor Dennis stands ready to discharge his duty ‘without fear or fa--vor if information can be filed, for he is a ;,genrin& sportsman himself. A few healthy prosecutions would forever settle this vandalism, if Syracusians could beinduced to render before Mr. Deniiis. The loss of the patronage of these vandals amounts to simply nottF\ingf. but the loss of the patronage of the very many tho desite to visit this -resort merely as a matter of; pléasure and recreation is a very considerable item to the village. In ans‘wer to the many letters ot inquiry received by us 'as to the fishing, etc., we can enly say that the territory is in the possession of the vandals, who are, without let or hindrance, depleting the ‘waters as rapidly and by all the methods and appliances known ‘to their barbarie natures, The accommodations at the village and island are ample and charges reasonable, and but for the persistent abuse of law and nature, Syracuse would beone of the famed rvesorts from April to December for the vast numbers whoare seeking suoch beautiful = waters ‘and swrroundings. ~ Syracusians haye you the sagacity to ‘see this, and finally have you the audagity to file a complaint here before Pfosector W T R Dennis.—Milford Independent,
