Sarcasm at Oxford’s Expense.

Fowled Era. We might state for the benefit of a few citizens of Benton that the court house and jail are in good condition with no signs of decay. And it would be a pitty to condemn such magnificent structures for no other reason than that they should be in close juncture with the car shops. We hope tjie few hasty citizens will kindly reconsider their determination to remove the county seat just for the present. £ ————. ‘ Me Coy’s building is npw very nearly completed, both as to interior and exterior. It is a fine building and worthy of the corner it occupies, the.must prominent in the town, perhaps. /The Tutuer brothers will move their grocery store into the large double front, room below within two or three weeks. Thompson & Bro., will use the two splendid rooms above, fronting Jon Washington street, for their law and real-estate office. They will also use the room in the south-west corner, of the same floor. Their rooms are large, well lighted, fitted With a large burglar and fire proof vault, and will make as fine a suit of rooms for the purpose for which they are to be used, could be desired. The two rooms, one large and one small, fronting on Van Rensselaer street will be occupied by Messrs. Kelley and Horton the dentists. They will have an excellent location.

One-Half a Million of Dollars for Postage.

George Stinson & Co., the celebrated Art Publishers, of Portland, Maine, undoubtedly pay more money for postage stamps than any other firm in the world; for the last five years their postage bill has averaged over two thousand dollars per week, making a grand aggregate of ever five-hundred and twenty thousand dollars; this is about the thee-hundreth part of all postage of every description collected by the United States government during that time, and in this connection it must be borne in mind that the country now has over fifty million souls, and fiftythousand But the mous sum paid for postage reprepresents .only the cost of sending the light packages, letters and circulars tor large, heavy packages are sent by express amUfßnght. ' Messrs? Stinson & Co. publish every description of picture of the better class and their trade extends over the entire world. As an illustration of the fact, their trade the furthermost parts of the earth, the following may be interesting: A short time since an order for an assortment of over three thousand large and ex 2 pensive picture was received from Tasmania, away down under the South Pole. Stinson & Co. are a striking illustration of what can be accomplished by energy, industry, and good judgement. There is “room at the. top”---all honor to those who fight their way up. This firm believes in standard goods and low prices, and on that principle their business is conducted. American homes should be made beautiful by refined and meritorious works of art: no one has any excuse for not adding to their homes the charms of pictures, for fine works of high art are within the reach ot all. I get up nicer fitting, and better made garments tb’fn can be got up at any drug stole. J. J. Waterbury.

HALL’S Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWER was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first successful restorer of failed or gray hair to its natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty. It has had iiiiiuy imitators, but übiieh'hve to fully met all the requirements needful for treatment of th# hair aud scalp, Hall's Hair Renewek has steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness 'to every quarter of the globe. Its unparalleled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises. The proprietors have often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote countries, where they had never made an ellbrt for " ns introduction. The use for a short time of Hall's Hair Rkneweii wonderfully improves the- personal ap[>earancc. It cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimulates the weakened gjauds, and enables them to push forward a* new and vigorous growth. The 1 effects-article are not transient, like tliose--of alcoholic preparations, but remain-a long time, Which makes its use a matter of economy.

It was in the village store at West Milton, Saratoga County, and the speaker was the central figure of a group of bucholij philosophers. He was homely slovenly and sixty. “There's where I differ from you altogctlipr,” said Mr, George T. Qraham, of the same place. “Women are mostly what men make ’em. When husbands are brutes wives will fall into submission or make home hot for the men; and they’re unnatural in either character. Love them, an . especially be good to them when, they’re sick, and you’ll have no iirouble. There’# my own wife, now. She’s suffered a good deal with dyspepsia nervous prostration-, and other aliments that took the bloom off her cheeks and the springout of her steps. . Well, she saw an advertisement of Parker’s Tonic, and thought it would be just the thk»g for her case. Gentlemen, I sent five miles after a bottle She took it. I sent agaimaftermore. So several times. Trouble? Why, if you could see.how much good it has done her you woulil say that women are the greatest of go'l’s blessing’s, and I’arkeu’s Tonic is the next.” This preparation, which has-been known as Parker’s Giniikk Tonic, will hereafter be called simply Parker’s Tonic. This change has been rendered-, neees.-ary by substitutes imposed upon their customers by unprincipled <Je:ilors under the name of gingar; and as gin* ger is really an unimportant flavoring ingredient, we dr&p tije.mislcading word.
