from its Of every variety o! pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary TO recount the eyl-
dsnces Of its virtues in any community where it
has been er,pio, ed. So wide Is the field Of its

over every other medicine Of its kind is too appar

&C.
The morning was dull, and betokened day
Uasnited to cutting and carting of hay;
So Stephen bcthought him to take a trip down,
And bring this thing, and that, and the other
- from town;
And he harnessed The horse, and proceeded t"
60 forth,
With a pail OF butter, eggs, berries, &c.
Now it happehod that Stephen &C., came down
On the day that the show was to enter the town:
And into the village he CHANGED to come forth
As the caravan came into town from the north.
A wondrous collection; jast to show forth,
Elks, elephants, monkeys. bears, tigers, &c.
Addssteolen arrived opportunely, Tween,
For never had Stephen an elephant nt'saen;
So he, with /" ola sorrel fetched up by thc fence
Toasee, without paying his twenty-five cents;
And soon came the creature, uncouthly and
.ssv, slow forth,
With tuslSs and with trunk, blankets, ,ribbons,&c
But scared at the sight, or the scent, or the
sound,
'old-Sorrei'' turned quickly ana shortly a,ound;
Anda inst urning'so quickly and shortly about.
TheSsagofl turned over, and stephen spill'd out;
And into tho gutter the berries did low forth.
Togcther with Stephen, eggs, butter, sc.
Quotl Stephen aloud, as he his pegs,
"A fig for the berries, &c.-and eggs
But henceforth never can say it or coursc,
That Eve not seen the elephant nor can the

And back tosthe old, homestead, "ola Sorrel y

Leaving theywagon, and Stephen, and SO on.

In the case Of Stacy Cooley against the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad
COmpany, Judge St)rer delivered an able
AMI heightened opinion. The plaintiff alleg-
ed that his wife, without neglect on her
part, was struck by the cars of the company,
aud was immediately killed, and he sued for
5000 The defendant demurred generally.
Many authorities were referred 10 and
commented upon by the Court; and they re-
marked they could find no authority and no
reason in general principles, to authorize a
recovery for the plaintiff; that there was
no plea in the petition that could be legal
ly supported. except for the expenditure
actually made in consequence Of the wiie's
feirh for, as the husband would be liable
for them, he would have the right to recover;
hut rs to all remaining claims for damages,
the demurrer must be sustained.- Cinc'f-

The TWIN CRY DArLlEs.-Wc clip the
following notice Of our humble endenvors
to serve the public acceptably, from the
columns OF the Iowa City Capital Reporter:
r. I, Repub.
sit is a striking evidence Of advancing
prosperity on ali hands that the publishers
of the Rock Island Daily Republican and
the Davenport Daily Gazette, have felt war
ranted in enlargiug their issues, to an extent
that would seem hardly juStihablc in most
of the western and many OF the eastern
cities.
The former is u staunch Democratic she I
and has battled manfuliy for the cause, and
with il OF course are cur political sympathies;
the latter ranges itself in opposition to our
faith, but has ever sustained the character
Of liberal journal and useful medium OF
Intelligence.
We wish the cnterprising proprietors,
respectively, an abundance OF success and
hope they will materially aid in disseminn-
ting their own good times" outamong their

Fire Depot Burned.

GNV-U epot burLel
About three O'Clock yesterday afternoon
fire broke out in the passenger depot Of
the Michigan Southern and the Rock Is
land railroads, and the structure which was
light building ofwood, was quickly con-
sumcd. TWAS erected at a cost OF about
$1,000.
The books and papers Of the offices. as
well as the baggage in the building were
all removed, and the cars which were near
it drawn beyond the reach Of the flames by
an engine which happened fortunately to
be at hand. The church and parsonage adj
joining were at one time in considerable
danger, but the timely arrival Of the ftc
department prevented any spread OF the fire.
The railroad Offices have been removed
to the Jervis House just across the street
from the scene Of the fire, and in very
short time, another temporary depot will
be put up. The ground was all cleared for
the purpose yesterday evening, and the
public will suffer but little inconvenience
by the fire. - Chicago Press, May i3h
