A Happy Reunion.

The steamer Tangier last Saturday landed at our wharf a negro woman who had been sold “ way down South” some twenty years ago. She formerly belonged to the Rush estate, and heboid father and mother, whose heads are silvered with the frosts of many winters, have remained on the farm ever since. During the war they lost all traces of their daughter, and gave her up for lost. Within the last fe w years, however, communication was restored between parents and child, and it has been the one grand hope of their declining years to once more see their daughter. A few weeks ago they received a letter from her at New Orleans, saying that she would soon start for this place. For the last week on-every beat-day the old couple could be seen in town peering with eager eyes at the faces of the passengers as the boats would reach the wharf; and a shade of silent disappointment, and anon a tear, could be seen upon their wrinkled faces when they found she was not aboard. But last Saturday they were not disappointed. Afi the boat neared the wharf a buxom, comely mulatto waved a handkerchief over at the old couple, and although they did not recognize her, after her long absence, instinct told them that it must be she. Pen cannot describe the joy of the party when the woman finally found herself ip the arms of her parents. The old lady executed a half-shout, half-fandango skipround, and the old man stood on his head, and the “hour of jubilee” was on that wharf for many minutes. It was one of the most touching incidents we ever witnessed. —Newtoum (Jfd.) Ornette. —Several Quakers are looking at Oregon as a good place to settle h colony of Members of their religious body.

—The Hartford Post relates a suggestive lit le story, as follows: “ Early in 1862 H youth named Frederick Boyer found a $5 bill on the street and turned it over to Chief Chamberlin to be returned to the owner. In April of that year, no owner having appeared, the money was deposited in the Pratt Street Savings Bank to the credit of young Boyer, and remained undisturbed until 1873, when Boyer came to Mr. Chamberlin, saying that he needed a pair of boots and had no funds. He was fiven an order on Miircy, and a year later lr. Chamberlin drew the expense of the boots from the deposit, which by this time had increased to $9.77 by interest. T6-day Boyer made his appearance again with a demand for more boots, and went with the chief to the Savings Bank, where he received $5.28. The money originally found had thus been of much more benefit than if he had retained and spent it, and several other boys whose interests have been looked after by Mr. Chamberlin in similar cases have now, with the original deposits and their own additions, some nice ‘nest-eggs’ laid away for the future. Though deposited in their own names, entries are made in the Cooks stipulating that the money shall not be drawn without the acquiescence of Mr. Chamberlin, and this restriction has been of real advantage to the youngsters.” —Schroeder, the Baltimore balloonist, says he is going to England “in fifiy hours.” This seems extravagant. Won’t he just knock off an hour and make it forty-iline?

This is an advertising age. Every man who is up to the times takes care that the world knows it. A trade candle is not hidden under a bushel, but placed upon a hill. Business is found to increase in direct ratio with the amount of money judiciously expended in letting the public know where you are and what you have got to sell. The great difficulty is to know when, where and how to do it. This led to the establishment of advertising agencies, of which the most extensive and reliable is that of Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York, which has met with a Success unparalleled in the history of similar undertakings. They are the largest customers the newspapers of the United States have, and have so managed to simplify and arrange the advertising system as secures the greatest amount or publicity for the lowest amount of money. More than five thousand American periodicals are received regularly, and kept on file at their office, which is located in the New York Times building, 41 Park Row, and we are informed that their corps of assistants outnumber the combined force of any four similar establishments now in existence. Visitors to New York will find their office a capital place to find news from home, for it must be a secluded spot which is not represented by a paper on their extensive files, which are always open to free inspection.—Davenport <lowa) Democrat. Wilhoft’s Tonic !—Unfailing and Infallible !—This great Chill Tonic cures Chills without the intervention of doctors and their bills. No consulting visits—no descriptions to be filled—no huge bills, ensiling pecuniary embarrassments, added to loss of health. It is the friend of the poor man because it enables him to earn a living, and of the rich because it prepares him to enjpy his wealth. This great boon to mankind is cheap, safe and prompt.

SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR myself and in my family for years, and pronounce it one of the most satisfactory medicines that can be used. Nothing would induce me to be without it, and I recommend all my friends, if they want to secure health, to always keep it on hand.” All the year round Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders should be given to horses that are “kept up.” To horses and cattle that graze in summer they should only be given in winter and spring. Officers and soldiers who served in the army, physicians, surgeons and eminent men and women everywhere, join in recommending Johnson's Anodyne Liniment to be the best internal and external family medicine ever invented. That’s our experience. No wonder the world is sour. E. L. Brassing & Co., Chicago, can make 250 barrels Whit* Wine Vinegar daily. Asthma and Catarrh.—See D. Langell’s adv’t.
