From John Kuhn, Lafayette, Ind., who announces that he is now in "perfect health," we have the following: One year ago I was, to all appearances, in the last stage of consumption.

The National Disease Downed. Hundreds of so-called diseases under various names are the result of indigestion, and when this one trouble is removed the others vanish. The best known remedy for indigestion, according to thousands of testimonials, is one tbat has been used in the United States for more than fifty years—Brandreth's Pills. These Pill's will cure the worst form of indigestion or dyspepsia, and by their use the national disease is easily conquered.

A Work of Exceptional Merit. Marvelous Wonders of the Whole World, Containing a graphic Acoountof Famous Explorations, Voyages, Adventures and Discoveries in all parts of tbe Globe also a full description of the Wonders of the Ocean, Atmosphere, Animal and Vegetable life, Astronomy, Geology, Light, Heat, Electricity, Inventions, Architecture, Natural Scenery, Earthquake?, etc., etc.

The National Publishing Company of Philadelphia, Chicago, and St. Louis, have just issued a superb volume bearing the above title. An examination of the book shows it to be one of unusual merit. It is evidently the fruit of vast research, unlimited resources, the most careful and painstaking labor and the fullest determination on the part of the Publishers to meet the demand for a book whiob shall be nothing less than a whole Library of Wonders. The discovers and adventures of the world's greatest travellers, among whom are Livingstone, Stanley. Baker, Speke, Du Chaillu and others, who have immortal ized themselves by their explorations in the Tropics, are fully desoribed. Tbe voyages of Franklin, Kane, Greely and other navigators in the Polsr Regions, are also brilliantly related, so that, while the book is a narrative of the most remarkable faots, its perusal has all the interest of romance. The 'Wonders of the Dark Continent, the land of the Pyramids, China, Japan, the Isles of the Paoific, South Americp, and our own marvelous country, are set forth in a manner that can hardly fail to fascinate every reader.

Not the least interesting part of the work is that which graphically describes all that is marvelous in the Ocean, tbe Atmosphere, the Insect World, the Animal and Vegetable Kingdoms, thus giving the volume a very comprehensive character. The subject of Electricity is fully treated. The phenomena of Light and Heat are depicted. Beautiful Birds are pictured in short, whatever is marvelous in Animal Life. The book also treats of the Wonders of Astronomy, Engineering and Modern Inventions.

The book is printed on extra fine paper, and contains 816 large octavo pages. It is handsomely and substantially bound, and is embellished with a large number of superb engravings made expressly for this great work by the best artists and engravers, both of this country and abroad.

It is sold by subscription only, and Mr. W. H. Chandler, who is the authorized agent for this section, is now canvassing for it.

The grocery is a nice, well furnished little edifice, and is rapidly growing in popularity. First class goods are kept, and sold at market prices, and all country produce is bought in at a fair price. We think Maysville is a nice, clean little place.— Some of South Honey Creek residents do not speak in Very high praises of the founder of our little village.

Chance to Make Some Money. The GAZETTE does not usually send out collectors for its weekly subscriptions. Most of its patrons call at the office and settle. Nor does it send ou solicitors, since its size—the largest in the state—its beautiful dear print, its illustrations and its reputation for containing all the news, brings in new subscribers every day without solicitation. But, in order to collect of a few parties who have neglected to come in. three four special agents will be appointed on salary to collect these bills and at the same time get new names. None but men well known in their localities need apply and they must come with the highest recommendations from men we know. Each man will be expected to furnish his own saddle horse or horse and buggy. No commissions will be paid but enough fixed salary to make it an object to good men.

For Sale or Trade.

THE DEPOSITORS-

A Meeting of tbe Shannon tors Last Night.

IDeposi-

Test Suits to be Brought to Settle Disputed Legal Points.

Last night there was a meeting of about fifty creditors of the defunct Shannon's Bank in the Circuit Court in response to a call published in the city papers. Two of those present were ladies. John F. Roedel was ipade chairman. Among those in attendance were Dr. B. F. Swafford, Isaac N. Pierce, Fred J. Stineman, G. A. Schaal, Wm. McHale, Peter McKenna, Chas. B. Rigney, A. J. Drought, Richard J. Barrett, Frank Novotney, John Haoley, Harry Donham, John Foulkes, Jos. Watson,. Chas. H. Ehrman, Wm. Alder, E. S. Erney, Chas. W. Hoff, James Cox, Ralph Thomas, A. I. Abbott, S. C. Stimson, Thos. F. Donham. Robert Snapp, Martin HolliDger, Frank Morrison and James Burke. Mr. Pierce, speaking as assignee for Mrs. Shannos, said he would use every endeavor to make the assets of the estate as large as possible and the same statement was made by Dr. Swafford, who is administrator. G. A. Schaal wished the question put to tbe creditors to see whether they were willing to hire an expert to go over the books at a probable expense of $75 or $100. Considerable debate was indulged in on this proposition. Dr. Sw&fford stated that be could not view the hiring of an expert in a favorable light. It was a useless undertaking because in a suit tbat was soon to be brought between Mr. Pierce as assignee and himself as administrator to settle the legal points involved the production of the books in court and a careful analysis was inevitable. Others were of the same opinir and the proposition was voted down.

A committee of three composed of Messrs. Cox, Schaal and Alder was appointed to select three cases for test suits out of the following classes of depositors: 1. Tboee who placed money in tbe bank previous to Shannon's death. 2. Those who put money in after Shannon's death. •*. Those who put money in both before and after.

These suits will be to determine the respective legal standings of the different classes of depositors and the result in each caee will be the precedent. The committee was instructed to hire an attorney to ,bring the suits. During the debate on the question of hiring an expert some one made the suggestion that it was the court's wish tbat sncb an appointment would be made and that the court stated it would insist upon it. In regard to this Dr. Swafford said: "The court is not responsible for the management of this estate. I am as administrator first and the securities on my bond afterward. There are a good many mistaken notions about the power of the court in these

Eave

remises. Courts don't settle estates. I given a bond for the faithful and honest administration of ihis estate and the court has no right to interfere and take the books into its possession unless tbere is cause for believing that the administrator is direlectin his duty."

The sentiment of the meeting was that creditors should file their claims immediately. The claims filed thus far as follows: Hibernian Benevolent Society, $1100 Lewis Weeks, $409.25 Wm McHale, $233.96 Isaac N. Pierce and George A. Knight, $400 George Royse, $92.68 Dona M. Royse, $21.
