tent and Remittem Ferers, nderery form Of
Fsrcr incident 10 The Vest.
This popular remedy for Asuc and Fever
has now been before the public three years, and
during that time about seUenfy. fre thousand bot
ties have been sold, and in no instance has it fail
ed TO effect a pcrmaneW cure as far rs heard from

This medicine has been thoroughly tested, and

week that the pending negotiations between
the City Council and committee Of the
board Of supervisors of the county, in refer
encc to the destruction Of a certain building
in the rear of the court house had termina.
ted satisfact )rly to all parties, but failed to
cnlightcn us as to the points agreed upon
Judging. from the extensive excavations how
ever, that have been within week or two
commenced in the rear of the court house, il
is easy to infer the tenor of the -four points,
The City council consent to the re.erection
Of the nuisance SO rightcously destroyed, and
probably pay part Of the expense. This is
not only n humiliating backout, but an out.
rage. Why not erect the building under the
trees on the south side? 1t would be more
secluded, and in every view less objcctiona,
bly, located. Buildings front alike on all
sides of the square, and if nuisance upon it
must be endured, let the south and east side
try it awhilc--thc north and west have had
it long enough. But it has no business there
at all and if erected should meet, as we pre-
dict it WILL a similar fate with its prcdcces.
