How TO MAKE YOUR LINEN WHITE. The
Hartford Press says that at the greatest shirt
and collar establishment in that State their
laundry work is all done at farm at West
Hartford
:. In summer, the shirts are dried upon the
grass; IN the winter, upon the snow. 1t is
claimed that this process has the advantage
over others, in that the color IS retained the
longer for it Some shirts which were laun-
dried for exhibition at the State Fair at this
city last fall, are as purely white to day, as
they were q year ago to-day. If it so hap
pens, as it often does, that orders cannot be
supplied without extra laundry help, the
shirts are sent TO the best laundry in New
York city, and the difference in the work Is
very noticeable, because ii is very inferior.
The space covered by this establishment is
about half an acre, and the system and order
that pervadss it are very noticeable.

ApuLrxsAr,os or LIouons.-The New York
State Register Is exposing the fraudulent and
miscbevious authorizations Of liquor practiced by
dealers in that city. A bottle Of the best bran.
dy, labelled Old Otard, vintage Of 1903, was
found, on analysis, to be common American
whlskey, favored with what Is called oil of cog
mac, q most deadly poison. Genuine liquors now
bear so higha price that the temptation to
fraud Ia very great, and the Providence Journal
is not far from the truth when 1t says: 'The
safest thing to buy Is American whiskey, which
10 80 much cheaper than other liquors that !. is
not so likely to be initiated; and upon which .
man may mako brute Of himself at . moderate
expense, and contrive to kill himself in few

The Clerical KISS.

Domino Brown had reached the mature age
of 45, without ever having taken part in this
pleasant abial exercise.
One of his deacons had very charming
daughter, and for year or two the Domino
found it very pleasant to call upon her three OF
four times q week. In fact all the neighbors
said he was ''courting" her, and very likely he
was, though he had not the slightest suspicion
of it himself
One Monday evening he was sitting as usual
by her when sudden idea popped into his
head.
'.Miss Mary" said he, "rve known you long
time, and never thought of such thing before
but now would like you to give me kiss
Will you?
swell, Mr.. Brown" replied she, arching her
lips in tempting way, ''if you think it would
not be wrong, have no objection"
'Let us ask blessing first" said the good
man, closing his eyes and folding his hand
"For what we are about to receive, the Lord
make us thankful"
The chaste salute was then given and warmly
returned.
ooh, Mary that was good" cried the Domino,
electrified by a new sensation. "Let US have
another and return thanks"
Mary did not refuse and when the operation
had been repeated, the Domino calculated in q
transport OF joy:
"For the creature comforts which we have
now enjoyed, the Lord be praised and may they
be sanctioned to our temporal and eternal good.
History says that the fervent petition Of the
honest Domino was duly answered, for in less
than month Mary became Mrs. Brown.-[Li

Few are aware how frequently publishers are
compelled to insert among their advertisements,
statements which they can neither sanction nor
believe.
a pleasant exception to this disagreeable ne
cessity are the advertisements of DR.. j. G. Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and Pills, which will be found
in our columns. We have published for him
before, and always with the feeling that in SO
doing we in no wise lend ourselves to deceive
or mlslead the public, for we have had indispu-
table proof that his words strictly true, with
abundant reason to believe that his medicine
will do all the promise, and all that can be rea-
sonably expected from any medicine. His Cher

The st. Louis Republican of the 26th inst, in
speaking Of the great delay in transmission Of
goods from that city to Peoria, on the Illinois
Central and the Alton and Terre Haute Rail-
roads, says that in few days the Eastern Ex-
tension will be finished to the Chicago and Mis-
sissippi road, and that's contract has been en-
tered into between that and the Peoria road,
which will hereafter insure the prompt delivery
of freight.
This city has already suffered largely by the
carelessness, stupidity and want of diligence in
the employees on the Central road, and every
business man will hail with Joy the opening Of
any new channel whereby these serious embsr-
assments to trade can be avoided. Gov. Matte
son is the principal manager of this new thor.
oughfare for Peoria, and his character for ener.
gy and perseverance, is sufficient guarantee that
our merchants will not hereafter suffer through
any negligence ut his hands.
The Republican also states that the gap be-
tween the Illinoistown and Alton, and the Chi.
cago and Alton roads was closed last week
Passengers can now stick to their comfortable
seats in the cars until their arrival in st. Louis

SENECA FALLS, N. Y, Jan. 81, 1856. )
GEkTLExES:-My case has been an affection
or disease of the throat, arising from infamma-
ton Of the glands, progressing during a period
OF five Or six years. Some months since met,
by accident with one of your circulars of "Bach's
American Compound" was acquainted with
some of the names in it, and made up my mind
to try bottle of the medicin. Previous to this
! had, by the advice of my physician, used So
luton of nitrate of silver with but little good
effect however, must confess, tried your
medicine, as perhaps many others will, with but
little hope; but l am happy to state, that in
less than twenty-four hours it afforded me very
great relief. Up to this writing l have been
constantly and surely improving. Ny relief has
been very great, and 1 can safely say that moth.
ing in the whole range of my experience has
afforded me such immediate and beneficial re.
suits. Ny faith in its efficacy in all such cases
is, you therefore consider, established; and if
its publicity will have any tendency to alleviate
human suffering, or cheer the dependency of
any who are similarly afflicted yon are at liberty
to use it. Yours truly.

SHOCKING DEATH.-A widow named Muldoon,
was burned to death yesterday under the most
heartrending circumstances. A. child OF hers
died yesterday morning, and she had just sent
friend to inform the neighbors of the death Of
her child. When he returned he found her
enveloped in tames and near the bed on which
lay her dead child and another infant babe
The mans first impulse was to seize the woman,
carry her out doors and thrust her into snow
bank This he effected, but not in time to save
her. We are informed by an eye witness that
the poor woman was horribly burned. Her
breast and abdomen were literally charred, and
other parts of her body presented no less
spectacle. The sight of the body drew tears
from every one who behed it.-Dubuque Herald
