SCHENCK’S PULNMONIC SYRUP, SeA WxED Tonrto, and Maxpraxa Prund.—These medicines have, undoubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are compounded of vegetable ingre'dim;ts. and contain nothing which can.be injurious: to the human constitution. Other remedies advertised ascures for Consumption, probably contain opium, which i 3 a somewhat dangerouns drug in all cases, andlf taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great ‘injury; forits tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must make a cure imposeible. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium; it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver. stomach and bleod, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are the only means by which Consumption can be cured, and as Dr. Schenck’s Palmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, an Mandrake Pills are only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only wenuine cure for Pnlmonary Consnmption. Esach-Bottle of this invujuuble medicine is- accompanied by fu]ld_lrections. Dr. Schenck .8 professionally at his principal office, cor.

THE ICE RAFI. . A THRILLING ADVENTURE. - - “You had better not-cross the lake to-night, stranger. Wait until morning, when you can see vour way. The ice 15 getting weak, and there are holes in mauny pilaces, which make it dangerous for those not used to the way.” : b e o “But I know every inch of thislake, landlord. = Many are the times when there was not a house along its shore that I have trapped half the autumn and winter in sight of it, and more times than one built my camp-fire on the ice, and sought the fish beneath it. Thidnk ye kindly. for the warning, but if these chaps don’t back out we'll go over the lake to-night.” - “No danger of that,.Ben,” said I. “We are in a huarry. to get home as soon as possible, and we had rather walk to-night than not. low ar do you call it across, landlord ?” - - - “Some fifteen miles, I think, to the nearest point of land; but I shouldn’t wonder if you had to'go further than that to-night. The river that comes| in at the head of fiie lake is oven, and it is very likely it has thawed quite a channel down intothe lake. However, you can keep straight across, and il you find that to lithe case, you can follow it down uwtil you come to the firm ice. It mav.make o little extra travel. that is allx- . . ! :

“The moon will be up by that time,” I said. “It risesat 10,.and the river, you say, is well over tojthe otherside. That will give-us light to get across the channel without danger.” : “Moon »or no moon, I ean cross the lake,” broke in Ben. “There is not spot I should notknow wifh my eyes shut. The current is pretty strong there, but I do na think it .has been ‘warin enough yetito thaw open the lake; but if it haslt will only make/ g matter of alittle more travel. K We must run the risi,and take the shortest eut across.””; | : i “Tiead on, Ben, we-arve ready. Good bye. landlord; whdl we come this way again, we'll try &id make alonger stop with you” | = “Take care and Ipt go under theice, and look out for tle wolves,” suid the landlord, as a last faution. - “Ihem: varmintf won’t be apt to trouble us to-nighj, nnl:ﬁss there \is a big pack bhanginglarowil thei shore; and the wind shoud be right i’irt%:em to scent us. A few of lem never venture out in n ()[%Ylf space like this. Thie: sneaking, veymints ain’t got no cgurage unless thde is acrowd of emy together.” i . s A word now-agto where \wwe were and whitlier bouyd, and. then we go ongzwith our story.| i ;

There were, tlree of us— Frank lardy, Ben Grant and myself, Frank and I had been onbusiness some hundred miles from tie Canadian town in ‘which we resided and, when just on the point of retyrning by the same route we had comne, we fell in with “Old: Ben,” as hewas known among the trappers aund iraders, with whom we were well aquainted, and who: learning our intenﬁixon of immediately setting out for heme, prevailed upon us to ageompany him,“ taking a short cub across the country,” by so doing which would savenearly a third of the distance. ! i } We wanted fo sge-that part of Canada, and we liked the society. of Old Ben, so we provi¢ed ourselves with snow - shoes, for |t was the first of March, and the snow still lay as in midwinter. SRR - We. were armed, each of us with a rifle, and, w,}_xf le Frank and I had little else to carry, Old Ben had an axeand alarge knapsack, in which he carried a supply.of food, which wé should stand in meed of, as, according to his reckoning, we should toueh at but one or two settlements on jouriroute; and although we had our rifles to depend upon for food, it was the season when game is scarce. : :

The first of our tramp, ‘along about the middle of the afternoon.we reachéd the little settlement pn the shore of the lake, where we stopped and rested ourselves until the. sun went down, when, as We were preparing to-set out, the conversation ensued that we have already chronicled. The sun had gone down, and jone by oue the stars were coming out and taking their placesin the great blue vault above us, when we turned our backs upon the landlord and his cabin, and struck out upon the ice that covered thé bosom of the lake, fleéked here and there with patches of snow, The surfce was so slippery that we found we;ould make little head-way with our snow-shoes; S 0 we took them off and strapped them upon our backs, after we had gone a short ‘distance from the shore. We were now ready for work, and for the next few miles Frank and I had as much as we could do to keep puce with the long strides oft Old Ben, as he led the way across the lake. - _ : An hour went by, and Old Ben assured us that we -had made good four miles of our journey, All about us was naught but ice and sky, except to the northward, where a long, dark line marked the forest, stretching along the shore of the lake. Once or twice we had seen an air-hole in the ice, around which the water lay upon the surface for a little distance; but, otherwise than this, our foot-hold was as firm as the soiid earth. - These places were easy - enough to. be aveided, for we could see/them glittering in the starlight quite a-distance away. 2 ‘All at once the trapper, who still kept in advance, paused, and stood in the attitute of listening. - We foliowed his example, and remained mute and motionless. Then, though as yet not a sound had met our ears, Old Ben brought down his rifle upon the ice, and excliimed, in a voice that caused us a thrill of fear in spite of ourselves: | {7 *“Wolves!? b e -

“Where? I hear nothing,! I said. “I don’t suppose you do, youngster; but my ears have been trained to catch the slightest sound. You'll hear them in a moment. Hark!” e ‘ This time I, too, heard a:sound that wasn’t to be mistaken. A low,lingering howl came flodting on the slight breeze, and then died away. The next morment it wds renewed by what-seem-ed from a liundred throats, coming from the dark forest line to our left, while a hundred more, or as many echoeB, took if up.on theside, . .« - ¢

“There arelots of the. varmintg oub to-night,” sald Old Ben; and L could not help thinking that there was a spice of uneasiness in his tone. * A wolf is a cowardly critter, and don’t dare to do much unless there is a pack together, and then they are very fiends, I hope they will give us-a wide berth to-night; for, to tell the truth, boys, we should stand rather a poor sight, with them about us, and lot a tree to climb into.” = ; : ““Do you think they will yenture on the ice?” 1 asked, - : -+ “Can’t tell, youngster, As:l said afore, it will all depend upon how ma‘ny there are of the varmints. . At any -rate, I'think it is best that we use our legs as fakt ag Papgble. o o . Another howl, that, in spite of all my efforts to the contrary, seemed to freeze my blood, sountled around us, ¥ 32 e S A

and then died away oily to be caught up as it were and repevted over again. “Come on, boys,” exdaimed thetrapper, as he struck out at aiquick pace that was imitated as lear as possible by Frank and myseH. : Half an - hour passefl, and, ia. spite of our efforts, Frank and I co:ild not keep the pace assnmed by the irapper, notwithstanding the howiing of the wolves on _ev'cryihm(x@ grew lo?der and nearer each moment.| Bver apd anon oOld Ben would cast a look b?ckwmfd, and, jeveh in the dim gtaright, we could seé that the look of \neasiness. we had seen upon lijs face hid increas~ ed rather than diminished. | = |

4 ¥ Rorgot. (From'the Rural New Yorker.) : + There is:no lexcuse for peglect of AQuby more conmrmon, 0T more satisfactory to those hearing it, than “I forgot.” Whether, the forgetfulness comes from carelessness, inattention, or weakness f the power of memory, the result is the same, and the loss or damage therefrom is no less than it would be if the negleet” was premeditated and dintentional., If a boy forgets to shut a gate, stray cattle can come through and. destroy crops te the same -exteént as if the mode-of ingress was intentionally ‘provided for them by some tramp, whose latent “cussedness” had-been made active by the refusal of a square meal or a night’s lodging. - Loy The Bwitchman at a railroad station who forgets to fix his lever properly and allows the incoming train to rush on to destruction, has not the guilt of intentional muorder on his soul, but the inevitabie luw of forcé works no less destruction tolife and property chan iflhe had! done it. with. malice prepense, L Lo : To overcome the habit of forgetfulness, for it is to a great extent a habit, is to a degree, at least, in the power of every one. He who is not an idiot has a faculty of memory, and the strength of any faculty can, by exercise and cnltivation be inereased.— ‘Those whoido not endeavor to cultivate it are guilty of eculpable neglect, and should not be aliowed to. plead forgetfulness in i.palliation ,of any omission or neglect} -~ ‘We know a clergyman whose powel of memory is so great as to seem really wonderful, the result almost entirely of eultivation. In fact we have heard him say that when he wus young he was so forgetful as to be constantly under a cloud in consequence. One day, when something more serious than usual had resulted from this failing, he determined 'to overcome it, and from that moment resolved that his memory should do for him its appointed work, and -forced it-into action. He allowed himself to make no more memorandums or aids to memory, but demanded that the faculty should work for his assjstance. The result is he has but few equals in the country in this respect. o 3

: High Taxation, : Go talk to the average rich man and one of his complaints is high taxation, when, in truth and fact he does not pday as muech, in proportion to his property, as the poor man, To give one instance: One of the wealthiest farmers of this township has returned his personal property at $4Ol. llle is the owner of several very valuable horses, a large number of cattle and hogs, besides agricultural implements, grain, ete. He huas a good: deal of money loaned out on interest, yet none of it is returned. The same man last year returned the valuation of his hogs at $lO, and within a month boasted tlrat he had just sold the poor farm $4O worth and had several hundred dollars’ worth left. - The result of such returns is to place the burden of taxation upon the poor man, and literally ‘rob him to-let the vieh man save a few dollars. Is there no \La_y in which the poor men can band together to compel the class of rich men mentioned above to pay their fair share of the burdens of the Government? The Star is more than half inclined to take the returns of the assessor and publish the uvames of ‘the various parties returning property, and let the people see how poor thoge men are, The law says a pan must list his property at gé;.c‘ash valuation, The farmer referred fo returns thyee horsges for less than $3O apiece, wheu he.would not sell one ef them for less than s2oo.—Loganspory Star; . : (s ii S A s : - If you are not certain that your subscription to Tre BANNER is paid for a little in advance, se%g‘ , greenback to the publisher without dslay. - —Latest style Hats jeceived daily at the Ladies’ Bmiu‘; ¢ it

. FINANCIAL PIRACY. Sherman Playing Into the Hands of the Enemies of the People. A writer \in; the St. Louis Times, in commenting upon Sherman’s scheme, says: ‘Not only is the plan (resumption) a fraud upon the resumption act, but it will be as ruinous té the people | as it will be profitable to|the small coterie of money mongers in the east who are using the Secretary to accomplish their own selfish-ends. It will perhaps be fortunate for the country in the end that the Secretary has thus. early put himself at the head of 2,000 National Banks, and made proclamation of the purpose of the national administration, not only to contract, illegally and fraudulently, tlke volume of circalation by the sum of $60,000,000 in eighteen months, but to . )

. WIPLE OUT THE GREENBACK, and to surrender the wholé field of circuldtion for 45,000,000 of people toi the National Banks. ‘- For'years this has Dbeen the purpose of the eastern ‘money power. . A vast banking combination—permeating all the avenues of business, and stretching its Briare--an arms over every town and, hamlet of thirty-eight States-—has become a necessity, to - counter-balinee the | growing political power of the west and south. The money of the éast is to be thrown inte the scale against the men of the west, and with the aid -of a subsidized and mercenary pressthe bankeys and capitalists of theeast hope to retain the power in the gov--ernment which they have had so uninterrfuptedly for the last fifteen years. Heretofore the real issues of th&financial question have been adroitly concéaled from the masses ‘of the people, and many of them lave been misled by -the falge clamor of inflation and the bugbearof soft money and irredeema-/ ble paper currency. Thanks to Mr. Sherman, he is mpking the issue so clear and well defined that nosone can mistake the ultimate objecxf those for whom he is using his'vast power as chief of the treasury. 1t issimply whether the paper mon€y necessary for the business of the:people oft the United States shall be issued directly by thie government or by corporations existing by authority of that govern ment. It is a question Letween thg' greenback; or legal tender, in some form, and the notés of the grandest combination of credit knowp:to history, called national! banks.-' It is, as it has been for years, a contest between THE PEOPLE AND THE CAPITALISTS, between the many and the few—between man and money—between the. west and the east.. Inflation on the: one hand and countractien on the other, are mere makeweights and cunuiglg contrivances to distraet popular atténtion and mislead the ereduldoug andig- ‘ nprant. Resumption by the government or the banks is not- what is desired or expected by those who are using Secretary Sherman, To get rid of cheap circulation, and to substitute in its place an Qﬁ(pénsive one; to ;destroy and cancel the greenback, and to fill the channels of circulation with the issue of the national bank§; to in*crease the interest-bearing debt of the sgovernment, and to multiply. the in=strumentalities of stock’ inbbing; to centralize the government and to.subs stitute the power of money for that of the sword —these are the aims to which politicians of every schadol in the east are directing their efforts. Gl

THE PERMANENT ESTABLISIIMENT - of the mational banking system and its enlargement and reinvigoration by-the' destruction and withdrawali of: the 'd'i-‘,‘ rect issues of the government fare the means to this end. Destrudtive as the } policy of contraction has' been, and ] must continue to be to the great producing classes of this gountry—thein- ‘ sane and abortive effort to resumespecie payments by the government and the banks in 1879—this -high handed and illegal policy of the secretary ,of the treasury may be -overruled to dec-. complish the much desired result of awakening the people to the real designs of the eastern money moygers, and of deciding. the real ‘iquestion which liesat the Touudation of the fit nancial © controversy — wid ' that” is whether the government suall supply the ci:&ulubmg media of the country, whether it be nickel, silver, gold or paper; or whether it or any part of it | shall be supplied by the banks and: moneyed corporations, - P

One of the first tribes.he visited was the On-. ondaga. It did not take him long to Jearn that the chief agent of- their demoralization was rum. From one end of his journey to the other, in'every tribe he visited, evidences of its destroying power met him, and he determined to use -all the power of his influence agpd teacher and propljet to induce his™people to turn from the habit which was destroying them. At Onondaga, after serious consultation with the chief men; a tribal meeting was called; every soul of. the tribe, man and woman, old and young, even. to the ‘youngest papoose, being present.

Commencing in a little log, . shed av the foot of the slip, well ddwn' ?o the bottom of the harbor, a fire-that,. lad water been'at hand, could have : been extinguished in less than fifteen | minutes, sprang up that rapidly glided up the wharf,“and into a nest of low wooden houses aloug the street running at right angles to the slip. Fanned byla roaring wind, the fire crept up the crest of one of many hills lying along the Portland road, and once

at the summit, where the wind had a full rake, it spread in a north-westerly direction, through Mill and Dock streets, pouring down, the long slope | of the latter street in a torrent of flame that diggve the s?eame“rs Dbefore it like chaffbefore .an {October blast. | Massive stores of brick and stone lined the street on either hand, bus they melted awayzs On, on, down Dock street, came the flames, till Mar- | ket square was reached; and here, for ‘thé first time, the “sense of thé city’s danger seemed to ﬂa.ﬁh onthe startied people. If the fireicrossed theé square, - all admitted it would sweep Water and Prince William, streets, but no {jone supposed for a moment that any | other section was in danger. but this, which lay directly in the course of the wind. 7 Once down /to the end of Prince William street,the flames would be carried into the harbor, and noth- | ing would be left to burn.

But out from their security were they startled, as from Canter- - bury, three blocks away and half way up the hillside, came the startling cry of fire. A spark had:caught in a -wooden building.

Thus the twofires sped on, on a parallel course, leaving the narrow slip of a block betweenintact. g All this time—some say 4 little before —flames were sseen riging from the barracks, an old wooden' structure well down to the water’s edge, about midway the iwidth of the city., This # ‘was the greatest blow of all, for around the barracks ‘in all directions but toward the shore lay blocks of weoden ¥ honses, inhabited” by ibusiness men l:lfnd lzlt)ofel's.

The loss of lite was something terrible. Already ; thirteen bodies have been recovered, and tne%wildestf‘rlﬁmprs are afloat as to the number missing. Probably not [ less than' twenty-five lives yere lost. The insura.meywﬂl exceed-$6,000,000, | !ﬁe'stly in. British companies; but the 10ss is four fold. St. John has not yet« . recovered consciousness sufficiently top ‘realize the extent of her prostration.
