The very best wbooping-eouRb remedy, and one that

perfectly harmless,

can be had at the Drugstore of Gulick Berry. If you have auy unframed pictures about tbe bouse take them down to R. Gagg's Art Emporium, and you will be surprised at tbe small cost at wbicb they can be handsomely framed. Noth ing adds to a pleasant home more than piot tires.

When you buy liquors for medicinal or other purposes, you might just as well have a pure article by going to B. Lyne's, opposite the Terre Haute House.

To sit upon the top of tbe Congrega tional Church steeple, would be a seat difficulty. Tbe "seat of difficulty," however, we wish to speak of, is tbis Many watches fail to run well, not bocause they are oommon, but as Is tbe case with many tbat are really fine, be cause tbey have never been in perfect order. If your watch does badly take it to T. H. Riddle's, where a skilled watchmaker makes a specialty of fine watch work.

A young lady wbo entered a New York music store and asked the young man in sttendance, "Have You Happy Dreams?" was astonished when he replied, "No, ma'am, I'm mostly troubled with the nightmare."

*'I don't like these shoes," said a lady customer, "because tbe soles are too thiok." "Is tbat the only objection?" blandly asked the salesman. "Yes," was the reply. "Then madam, if you tako the shoes, I can assure you that tbat objection will gradually wear away." This incident didn't occur at N.

No one who has always enjoyed good health knows what a blessing it is. It is not until they lose it that persons know its value. Many women in tbis city, now suffering ill health, might have been strong and robust, if tbey had a Singer Sewing Machine, on which to do their family sewing.

Three most difficult things are: To keep a secret, to forget an injury, and make good use of leisure. Yon can mske good use of a few leisure monts—or an boor for tbat matter, by calling at Button & Hamilton's Central Bookstore, and looking at tbe attractive and intereetiug books, tbe elegant stationery, beautiful books, choice stereoscope views, books and games for children, and hundreds of desirable things for the library, tbe counting bouse and tbe household.

8 TERRE-HAUTK SATURDAY EVENING- MAfL. FEBRUARY 7. 1874

No two person* see tbe same rainbow, —It bas even been a question among physiologists whether two people see precisely the same shade of color. But all the ladies can see that they can get better and more stylish gcods, more for their money and greater satisfaction by trading regularly at Riddle's.

Keep on good terms with your wife, vour stomach and your conscince. To be able to do this, you should do as sll the best families are now doing—use Kern fc Rapp's Family Flour. There are no better millers in tbe country, snd as they make a specialty of floor for home consumption, it is but natural tbat it sbonld be the best in order to hold the trade. Leave yoar order on tbe slate at N. Katzenbach A Co's, and it.will be promptly filled.

A good picture is not to be obtained everywhere, or of all who style themselves artists, but we can tell you, without fear of contradiction, that you can always get one at D. B. Wright's commodious and toell appointed rooms, in the old Odd Fellows Ball. You never hear any complaints of his pictures. He is a true artist in every sense of the word, bas tbe very latest improved instruments, uses the best chemicals, and is content with reasonable prices.

Miller A Arletb have removed across tbe alley', one door south of the old postoffice building, whore they have more room for manufacture and the display of their large stock of harness, saddles, bridles, all kinds of horse gear and accoutrements, together with trunks, valises, etc. Tbey are going to make the manafacture of collars a specda! ty. Tbey are energetic, clever gen tlemen and deserving of tbe most liberal patronage.

A never yielding problem to a newly married man is bow to carry groceries so people will not suspect that he is just married. One man looks so sheepish tbat the fact is publicly advertised while another in trying to avoid tbis extreme, becomes so pretematumllv solemn that he is betrayed at once. To Hush we suggest tbat tbey leave their orders at headquarters for everything in the way of table supplies, R. W Rippetoe's "White front" and have the same promptly sent up free of charge His delivery wngon is constantly on the go.

Milligan A Bond have moved across tbe street, where they are now comfortably fixed in the new brick building on the east side of Fourth street, between Cherry and Mulberry, and where they have opened a new, fresh and complete stock of Staple aud Fancy Groceries and Provisions, Flour and F»ed. They are selling at bottom prices. They want you to come and see them in their new rooms, and will take pleasure in waiting on you aud will deliver goods to any part of the city, free of charge. Tbey are thankful for tbe liberal patronage they have received and will do all in their power to merit a continuance of the same,

—Old Farmer Gruff wss one morning tugging away with 11 his might and main at a barrel of apples, which he was endeavoring to get up the cellar stairs, and calling at the tob of his lungs for one of his boys to lend a helping hand, but in vain. When be bad, after an infinite amount of sweating and puffing, accomplished his task,and just when they were not needed, of course, the boys made their appearance. "Where have you been and what have you been about, I'd like to know, that you could not hear me call enquired tbe father in an angry tone, and addressing the eldest. Out in the shop, setting the saw," replied the youtb.

And you, Dick Out in tbe barn, sstting tbe hen." "And you, sif?" "Up in Granny's room setting the clock." "And yon, young man?" "Up in tbe garret setting tbe trap."

And now, Master Fred, where were you and what were yon setting?" asked tbe old farmer of his youngest progeny, tbe ssperity of bis temper rising, somewhat softened by this category of answers
