"HIS extraordinary chemical composition, the re-
suit of science and the invention Of a celebra-
ted medical man, the introduction Of which to the
public was invested with the solemnity of a death
bed bequest, has since gained a reputation unparal-
leled, fully sustaining the correctness of the lamented
DR.. Gridley's last confession, that she dared not die
without giving to posterity the benefit of his knowl-
edge on this subject.'' and he therefore bequeathed
to his friend AMI attendant, Solomon Hays, the secret
Of his discovery.

private practice in our country, first and most GER

For Drop,y--Creating extraordinary absorption at

.Srelings--Reducing them in a few hours.
Rheumatism-Acute or chronic, giving quick ease.
Sore Throat--By cancers. ulcers, or colds.

Sores and Ueers--whether fresh or long standing,

it, operation upon adults and children in reducing
rheumatic swellings, and loosening coughs and tight

person who will use a bottle of Hays Liniment for
the Piles, and return the empty bottle without being
cured. These are the posit.ve orders Of the proprie-

RETROSPECTION

Oh! where are the friends whom in childhood
| CHERISHED
The good and the graceful-the gifted and
brave?
Alas! in a cold world they pinned and have per.
Unpity'd they sleep in the gloom of the
grave.
Or far in a foreign land lonely they wan.
der,
Unblest by the bosom that beat for them
here;
Perhaps on the years that are pass'd they
now ponder,
And drop the sweet tribute Of memory's
tear.
Alas! when look on the scenes long de-
And think ofthe friends that SO fondly
proved;
Like Logan, a moment / mourn broken.hear.
ted.
Alone in the world, stripp'd of all that |
loved.
Oh! the home of my heart, and the scenes OF
my childhood,
long to revisit, and love to recall;
The village and valley, the grove and the
wildwood,
The friends and the ireside lov'd more
than all.
But why should | weep DER the friends
have CHERISHED!
Or sigh DER the scenes that once happi-
ness gave?
A few fleeing years, and | too shall have
perish'd
And sleep with them all in the gloom Of
the grave.

We have the Chronicle, extra, OF the 7th, at
10 A. M, which gives the official returns from
all the counties but Mexican, Potter ana " ar
xen, which are estimated. The Chronicle gives
the State to Harrison by 1913 votes. 1t says:
- & Below will be found the official returns from
all the counties in the State except warren,
Potter and M'Kean. which cannst overcome
Harrison's present majority of 1888. There is a
report that Warren has given Van Buren, ma
;ority of 1873. If this be confirmed, Harrison's
majority will be reduced to los. We do not
see that it can go below that. We have infor-
nation from Potter and M'Kean which we be-
Iieye can be relied upon, that gives Van Buren,
majority of $50 in the two counties We have
