the readers of the

that the

statement made in last week's

GAZETTE,

in regard to me, is utterly false. I am not now, and never have been, the writer of the'Macksville items,or of any of the. Sugar Creek items, whioh appear in the

I oonsider it an injustice to me for any person or persons to write so much silly stuff, and then, when it beoomes too reprehensible for intelligent people to read, to say, or ^insinuate, that I have been the writer. I am engaged in a higher profession.

If those brainless and meddlesome persons who write those senseless items would occupy their time at honest labor they would have no time to manufacture so many falsehoods about the good and honest citizens of Sugar Creek township. I have noticed the articles as they appeared io the

GAZETTE

from week to

week, and will say tbat, as far as lam acquainted with the facts, they area mass of pernicious falsehoods, manufactured by the depraved imagination of the ignorant, irresponsible writers.

I pity the poor family that has produced so many prodiges. JENNIE

To Correspondents.

A number of the

GAZETTE'S

corres

pondents understand exactly what' is wanted and their letters are highly acceptable, not only to us but to oar readers. There are others who have mistaken ideas on the subject and a few words are, therefore, addressed to them. Do not send meanly, spiteful things about your neighbors. For example, that Mr. So and So does not feed his horses enough, is-no fit item for a newspaper. It a correspondent is found to be habitually venting his private spites, what he writes will be put in the waste basket without the trouble of even reading it. liere are some of the things we want: 1. Notices of all sickness and health in your neighborhood or of persons known in yoar vicinity who have moved away. When prominent people die write obituaries of them. 2. Accidents, fires, crimes, etc. 3. Personal notes aboat the comings and goings of people. 4. School news. Beports of institutes, etc.

If there is no news don't try to send rubbish instead of news. WM. C. BALL & Qo.

March April May

Are the months in which to purify the blood, as the system is now most susceptible to benefit from medicine. Hence now is the time to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, a medicine peculiarly adapted for the purpose, possessing peculiarjcurative powers. It expels every impurity from the blood, and also gives it vitality and richness. It creates an appetite, tones the digestion, invigorates the liver, and gives new life and energy to every function of the body. The testimony of thousands, as to the great benefit derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, should convince everybody that it is peculiarly the best blood purifier and spring medicine.

PILES CAN BE CURED. "WESTFIELD,

N. Y., May 18,1885.

For thirty-two years I suffered 'from piles, both internal and external, uith all their attendant agonies, and like many another suffered from hemorrhoids. All those thirty-two years I had to cramp myself to pay doctors and druggists for stuff that was doing me little or no good. Finally I was urged by one who had had the same complaint, but had been cured by Brandreth's Pills, to try his cure. I did so, Bnd began to improve, and for the past two years I have had no inconvenience from that terrible ailment.

contains a card from Bev. Hammond, one of tbe Oongrpgationalist ministers who opposed the Beecher resolutions. He says:,/ ''There came a time, however, when rumor against his morals reached me. Mr. Beecher was brought into court, and the case nbmitted to a jury. Did he clear himself os the charge? No with all his personal ma getism, his almost superhuman ability, f_with the brat counsel money could procure,n'with the tremendous pressure of Plymouth Chnrcht to help him right there in Brooklyn where the trial was held, he could not secure aa

acquittal from that jury. They were divided. Yet thatmight have been decisive, as there were only hree out of the twelve for conviction and iurora may be easily pronounced prejudiced or incompetent Bntthe testimony published broadcast over the land, and men could form their own opinions. Unfortunately for the accused, thousands in our land decided, from the testimony, that he was not entitled to an acquittal. Sadly for me, I was one of them. My idol was thrown from its pedestal and broken, and a most sincere mourner have I been ever since."
