NATIONAL HOUSE.

A HA SDSOME ENCONIUM'

The lebrated physician, Dumont Dake, M. I)., of this city, has acquired such a prodigious reputation that enthusiasts call him l'homme aux miracles, sul generis. Owlug to the great deouaud for bis servioes, the doctor has associated with him In his practice Professor John Stoltr., M. D., author, scientist, lecturer and medical practitioner. These noted physicians are out with a spicy eight pago medical journal. They purpose giving a course of lectures on the human system, from the cradle to the grave, illuatiated and simplified, and the price of admission so low as to be within the reach of all.—Chicago Eveuing Journal.

These distinguished physicians are meeting with great snccess and can be consulted for a short time at the National House.

By apodal arrangement the ladies' parlor and three adjolniug rooms have been aet apart for ilio accommodation of the public who may wish to consult these great physicians.

Those who oouae from a distance can ai»o be accommodated in this excelleut Hotel at reasonable rates.

The crowd at times is veiy large it Is well, therefore, to say: Be patient, take your seat in the parlor, where you will be informed bow soon the Doctor may be consulted.

Patients are treated by the week or month therefore you should call immediately, aa during the spring months chronic diseases are cured iu half the time required at other seasons of the year.

STILL ANOTHER.

Scarcely a week has passed of late that we have not been called on to record the death of an old citizen. This time it that of Owen Tuller—and, like most the other recent deaths, his was sndden and unexpected. He has not been good health for smoe time. He was his farm last Friday and death came ten o'clock Sunday morning. He died sitting in his chair, conscious to the last moment. Dr. Waters, his attending phy sician, expressed his opinion that he coald do nothing more, and Mr. Murray had gone out after Dr. Thompson, when Mr. Tuller said to Mr. Haas, who stood by him, "I can live only a few moments —I am dying now—I am gone," and the head fell back on the chair, the body still in death.

Mr. Tuller was sixty-five years of age He came to this city in 1848, and since that date been a resident most of the time. He possessed business qualities of a high order and has amassed a very considerable fortune. In some respects Owen Tuller was a very singular manstrong in his aversions but equally so in bis friendships. He was generous to wards every enterprise that enlisted bis sympathies, and as bitterly opposed to that which did not seem to him proper. His intimate friends were few but to these be was warmly attached. This one grand feature can be said of him—that in all bis dealings with the Government and his fellow man, he has left no taint of dishonesty.

JUDGE" CONARD.

The body of E. Worthington Conard better known as Judge Conard, or still better as "The Judge," was taken to the home of his aunt, in Westchester, Penn sylvania, on Monday. Mention of his death was, by aocldent, omitted in last week's Mail. He was taken suddenly ill, on Wednesday evening, and died at the National House, Thursday morning. The Judge was a singular and eccentric man. His life was wrecked by an insatiate thirst for liquor. No form was more familiar on our streets.than that of

Judge" Conard, but—outside of a very few of our older people, his companions in younger and better days—no person was more utterly unknown. About the year 1821, his father married one of three very estimable sisters, in Westchester, Pennsylvania. The subject of this brief sketch was born the year after, and in a few days his mother passed away. The remaining sisters gave the father of the child to understrnd that he was not wanted, in fact, told him to "Go West." He drifted to this city, and in course of time became the editor of the Wabash Courier. The child grew to manhood under the care of his aunts, and about the year 1843, against the earnest protest of his aunts, who had become warmly attached to the handsome boy, he came to this city, and for the first time saw his father. He immediately entered upon editorial and other work in the Courier office. The treatment he received at the bands of his father in his early manhood is said to have been outrageous, and here probably is the secret of his downfall. He inherited from his mother some five thousand dollars, which his father frittered away. He remained in the Courier office until it was consolidated with the Express, and .then set type on that paper. In 1861, he was appointed mail agent from this city to St. Louis, but was dismissed for inattention to duty. From this time his descent was rapid. He lived the life of a vagabond—an outcast—much of the time an object of charity. Some two years ago one of his aunts died, leaving him property valued at about nine thousand dollars, and some ready money. With this he could have lived oomfertably and respectably the balance of his days. But he beoame miserly in his habits. With plenty of money in McKeen's bank, his habit of late was to go into the National House at night tot-leep, almost invariably paying for the bed each morning, and then go out to eat wherever be could get it tho cheapest. He was repeatedly urged to clean himself up and visit his remaining aunt in Pennsylvania, but he said "No. She remembers mo as a handsome, intelligent young tnau, and I will not dispel tho picture by obtruding this bloated, diseased carcass." And so he passed away, and the aunt, still strong in her attachment for the manly boy that yoars ago went out from hor roof, sent for the body that It might be laid beside the mother.

She wears the finest clothes, and gits 'em for less than anvbodvelse, and she's kounted the best judgo In our township.

Bought at a Bargain.

AND SOLD DITTO—WHERE TO DERIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE RECENT 6 EC LINE

IN PRICES IN NEW TORK.

The reading public probably remember that there was recently a large decline in the price of dry and dress titods in the Eastern markets, and the inference to be drawn is that the mer

chant

who was there and purchased

goods at that time is the one who can now sell the same at the lowest rates. B. Ehrlich of this city, was among the fortunate Western merchants who secured the full advantage of the decline. He invested largely in all the newest styles of domestic goods, and is now receiving tbem daily at his fashionable emporium on Main street. Case after case is arriving daily, and those who visit the store and inspect the stock are delighted with what they see, and sur prised as well to learn of the wonderfully low rates at which they are being marked. It really, carries one back to the good old days when a man could clothe wife, babies and all for a comparatively trifling sum.

B. Ebrlicb's stock at the present time is very complete. The shelves are filled with as excellc nt dry and drees goods as are to be found in any first-class establishment in the weit, and this statement is sufficient to induce people to patronize this store, as it hasbecome wellknown that Mr. Ebrlicb's motto has always been

Bmall

profits. He don't

expect to get rich, but simply intends to make a comfortable living and therefore sells bis goods at a small advance from cost prices.

To the reputation of this house for fair and honorable dealing we need not refer, for it is known to be second to none. We will therefore close by again stating that anything and everything in the line of dry and dress goods with their attendant "fixins," can be found in the wellregulated store of B. Ehrlich.
