MERCHANTS GARsLING OIL.-There Is no me-
dielne that has better stood the test of q long
and severe experience than Merchants Garg-
ling Oil. 1t is manufactured in Lockport, N.
Y, and has gradually worked its way into pub
lie favor and general use where its merits are
known, because it does really possess the good
qualities that are claimed for it. For all cases
in which a liniment is reqnired, it is unsurpass-
ed and unequrlled. 1t has been long and extern
sively tried, and few indeed have heen the in
stances in which 1t has not produced the desired
result. As a remedy for animals it is indispen-
sable, and far superior to anything before the
public. We do not speak of this medicine in
these terms because we have any interested mo-
tive for so doing, but because we have had op-
portunities to know that it is a really valuable
preparation, without any humbug about it, and
should be in the possession Of every farmer who
has anything to do with horses or cattle. 1t is
for their benefit that we call attention to it, and
state that itmay now be found for sale at Sprague
Pett's, in this city, who are the regular agents
for it. All who have used it, concur in the
opinion that it is really the best thing for the
purposes for which it was intended, that has ev-
err been presented EoHuniversal WateTtspR

Swallowing an Oyster AIIvc.-A Story
of Illinois.
BY JOHN $. Ednn, (>oLrrAIrE0 1s4S.

BY JOHN S. HoBB, tSOLITAIkE) lSl3. .
At late hour the other night, the door
ofMIAoystcr house in our city was thrust
open, andin stalkcd hero from the Suck
er State. lie was quite six feet high,
spare, somewhat stopped, with hungry,
anxious cOuntenancc, and his hands
pushed clear down to the bottom of his
brceches pockets. His outer covering was
hard to define, but after surveying it min
utcly, we came to the conclusion that his
suit had been made in his boyhood, of a
dingy yellow linsey-wolscy, and that,
having sprouted up with astonishing ra-
pidity, he had been forced to piece it out
with all cOlorS, in order to keep pace with
his body. In spite of his eXertionS, how
ever, he had fallen in arrears about a foot
ofthe necessary length, and, consequently,
stuck that far through his incXprrSsiblcS,
His crop of hair was surmountcd by the
funniest little seal.Skin cap imagnahlc-
After taking position, he indulged in n
long stare at the man opening the bjydiFtS,
and slowly cjcculated-" listers -
"Yes, sir" responded the attentive
operator, "and fine ones they are, too"
"Well. I've heard Of listers aforc," says
he, "but this is the fust time I've seed 'cm,
and pre- hdps Ill know what thdr made OF
afore git out Of town."
Having expressed this desperate intCn.
ton, he cautiously approached the plate,
and scrutinized tho uncaScd shcll-tiSh
with gravity and interest which would
have done honor to the most illustriouS
searcher into the hidden mysteries Of na.
ture. At length he began TO Solilo1uizc
on the difficulty Of getting them out, and
how queer they looked when out.
81 never seed any thin hold on So
takes an amazin' site of Scrcwin, hoSS, to
get them out, and aint they slick and
slip'ry when they does come! Smooth aS
an eel! I've a good mind to give that
fellcr lodgin', .iiSt to realize the effects, as
uncle jess used to say about specialization" "
"Well, sir" was the reply, "down
with two bits, and you can have dozen.
1.-Two bits" exclaimed the Sucker,
"now come, that's stickin' it on rite
strong, hosS, for listers. A dozen on 'em
aint nothin' to chicken, and there's no
gcttin' more'n picayunc apiece for them.
I've only realized forty five picayuncS ON
my first vcntur' to st. Louis. I'll tell you
what, I'll gin you two chickens for dozen,
if you'll conclude to deal"
A wag, who was standing by, indulging
in dozen, winkcd to the attendant to
shell out, and the offer was accepted.
"NOw mind, repeated the Sucker, "all
fair-two chickenssfor doxen-you'rc u
witness, mister" turning at the same timC
to the wag; "nOne of your tricks, for I've
heard that your city fellers arc nifty
slip'ry coOns."
The bargain being fairly understood,
our Sucker squared himself for the onset
deliberately put of his seal.skin, tucked
up his sleeves, and, fork in hand, awaited
the appearance Of No. l. II came-hC
saw-and quickly it was bOltCd! Amo

Ments dreadful pause enSucd. The wag
dropped his knife and fork, with look OF
mingled amaZement and hOrror-Some-
thing akin to ShakSpcare's Hamlet on see
ing his daddy's ghost-while he burst
into the exclamation
"Swallowcd alive, as I'm Christian :"
Our Sucker hero had opened his mouth
with pleasure II moment before, bat now
it stood open. Fcar-a horrid dread of
he didn't know what-a consciousness
that all wasn't right, and ignorant of the
extent of the wrong-thc uncertainty of
the moment was terrible. Urged to des-
peration, he faltcrcd out
"What on carth's the ROW."
"Did you swallow it alive :" inquired
the way.
al swallowed it Jest as he gin it to
mel" shouted the Sucker
YOU'RE n dead man ~ exclaimed his
anxious friend, "thc creature is alive, and
will cat right through you" added he, in
n most hopeless tone.
"Gct n pizcn pump and pump it out I"
screamed the Sucker, in frenzy, his eyes
fairly starting from their sockets. go
gracious !-whatll ! do? It's got hold
of my innards already, and I'm dead as a
chicken do Somrthn' for me, tl0-don't
let the internal sca.toad cat me aforc your
eyes"
"Why don't you put some of this on
it:" inquired the wag, pointing to a bot
tie orStrong prper-saucc. ---.--------...
The hint was Scnough-thc Sucker, upon
the instant, seized the bottle, and dcSper-
atcIy wrcnching ont the cork, swallowed
half the contents at draught. lIO fairly
squcalrd from its effects, and gnspcd and
bowed, and pitched, and twisted, as if it
were coursing through him with electric
effect, while at the same time his eyes ran
n stream of tears. At length becoming
little composed, his waggiSh adviser ap-
preached, almost bursting with suppressed
laughter, and inquired
"llow arc you now, old frllow-lid you
kill it."
"Wcll, ! did, hoss'-ugh, ugh 600 my
innardS If that jStcr critters dyin' ago
nirS didn't stir 'ruption in me equal to

here with countcnancc made up Of sup
pressed agony and present determination,
he paused to give force TO his words, and
slowly and deliberately remarked, "lfyou
git two chickens from me for that live ami
NAL, I'm ID" and scizing his scal-skin
he vanished.
The shout of laughter, and the contor-
tionS Of the company at this finale, would
have made II spectator believe that they
