MURDER AT PoSrIAc.-We learn that
one of the most high-handed aud daring
murders that ever took place in this State,
happened last Saturday evening, in the
Village of Pontiac As we get the story,
the circumstances were briefly as follows;
A Scotchman by the name of Finley went
to house in search of his wife, who had
abandoned his protection, and was refused
admission. The cries of the women with
in, and his eff WITS at the door, attracted the
next door nei lbor, Mr.. Buck, who went
to him 10 prevail on him to abandon his ef-
forts, which he refused to do, when b. in
formed him that he (Buck) should protect
the women; whereupon, Finley drew a
knife and stabbed Buck in the abdomen,
causing his death in a few hours after
Buck formerly kept the Mansion House and
also the American (Ecw Wales') Hotel, in
this CITY, but more recently was from Roch-
ester, \. Y, where he intended to return
in the spring. He was man advanced in

LAMBERTvILLE,N N. j., June 10, 1916.
Dr. ID. Jayne, No. South Third ST., Phia.
Dear Sir,-l have this day had an interview
with the gentleman of whom / made mention to
you as having taken your Expectorant with such
decided effect He is a respectable farmer, living
few miles from here. Twas so much interested
in detailed account he gave me of his cough and
cure, that embrace the first leisur moment to
communicate it to you, and if the re is as rad-
cal as it appears to be, it is tn .iost remarkable
one have ever known.
For 81 years CATER havins the measles) he has
been suffering with cough of the most distressing
kind getting worse as he advanced in years, Che
is now 55.) Frequent turns Of coughing, and
diffiucuty Of breathing, lasting from hour TO an
hour and half would come upon him, with such
severity as 10 exhaust him, with strangling until
his eyes became bloodshot He had despaired Of
being cured, having tried physicians and thou
sand things without relief For nine weeks I'M
mediately previous to his taking the Expeetorant,
he had been under the care of AN eminent physi-
clan, and hearing bis cough, recommended to
him your Expectorant He first said he had tried
so many things that he had no confidence in any
thing, but induced him to take bottle, by telling
him of persons of my acquaintance who had been
cured by it. This on Tuesday; that night he
took OF 1t, and says that 1t was the hrst comfort
able nights sleep he had enjoyed for years. On
the Thursday following, (only two days after
wards) he went to work, and has continued TO
make full hand on his farm ever since, (now
nearly two months.) He told me to-day, that for
the last week he had cut and split hundred rails,
or mlde 100 panels of fence per day, has been IN
the water 10 wash his sheep, and otherwise ex-
posed, without the least symptoms of a return of
his cough, it having entirely disappeared, and
strangest of ALL one-thrd of bottle has produced
the effect He seems so thankful and oyerjoyed,
that he wants to talk all day about it. and says
that if he could not procure another bottle, he
would refuse 800 for the remainder of the bottle
he has left.
Your Carminative Balsam have also used or
recommended to Others for the last ten years, with
the most sautary effect
Respectfully, yours,
JOHN II. ANDERSON.

A FRESH ANEcDoTE.-One day a Quaker
called into a Billiard Saloon, and ordered a
tumbler of ale. Boniface drew his ale out
of one of these spirting crane-necked con-
trivances, which they screw on to the bar,
like soda fountain. The cock was turned
and the ale came sputtering and foaming in
to the tumbIer, like the frothy harangue OF
stump orator, chiefly gas and foam, and
was placed before the Quaker.
"Friend Boniface," quoth the Quaker,
cycling the glass as it stood before him,
g dost thee sell much ales"
"Why, nos" answered Boniface; "not
half as much as would like to sell.''
81 will thee, friend" says the Quaker,
g for five dollars, how thee cans't sell dou-

friend" whispered the Quaker, putting his
finger on the glass before him, at the line OF
separation between the ale and the foam on
the top of it, " the way to sell double the
quantity of ale thee now sellest, is to fiji thy
customers tumblers full of it.' Boniface
forked the five dollars aud blushed as red as
one of his bottles of American brandy.
