VERNllFUGE, Prepared by Fleming Bros?
Listen to the testimony of eminent physician in
favor of NJ Lanes Yermfuge which is now universally
acknowledged to be the best in USE even members of
the medical faculty (who often opposed to the use
of patet medcines) cannot withhold the approval Of
this invaluable remedy:
have used DR.. NJ Lanes Worm Specific prepared by
Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh, Pa, in my practice and
am prepared to say that the unparalleled with
which have prescribed its USE both for children and
adults induces say the most in its favor of any spe-
chc or patent medicine before brought to my no.
tice The mode of administration the smallness of the
Dose and the certainty of its efcac'us effects give it, in
opinion decided advantage over any other medicine
of the kind before the public.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.. MLANE'S
CELEBRATED yERNIFUGE, manufactured by FLEM-
ING BROS of Pittsburg Pa All other Vermfuges in
comparison arc worthless. Dr. NJ Lanes genuine Vermi-
fGge also his celebrated Liver Pills. can now be had at
all respectable drug stores None genuine Without The

The CONCERT To-NIGHT.-By referring to
the programme in another place, our readers
will learn the character of the music to be
given tonight at Mechanics Hail. Madame
Bishop has wide fame as a vocalist of supe-
rior powers, and Mr.. Draper and Carl Hause
are too well known to the musical world to
need words of introduction. Not the least
pleasant part of the programme is the an
nouncement that admittance to this first class
concert costs only rs cents.

Dear Col :-Whcnever the good people
of this world are afflicted with pcstilcnca,
overpowered with convulsions, depressed
with want, or otherwise cursed with the
evils "fesh is heir to-" the story of their
suffering invariably gathers exaggeration as
rumor spreads it upon the public record
! Thus, no doubt it is, as regards the present
state of dcstitution, among the inhabitants
of Southern Minnesota. That many fani-
lies are now distressed, with pallid hunger
approaching at brief distance, is most pain
fully true. Neither can we confine this re-
mark to our own State. 1t will apply with
equal force and truth to many portions Of
| Northern iowa. But we desire, through
your columns, to deny most emphatically
any and ali reports that StarUdtiosa is in our
midst We feel called upon to controvert
all false statements that may detract from
our previous good names. Although -four
and meal are exceedingly dear, and scarce
commodities in this market, yet our re-
nowned Lake, and surrounding waters pro-
duce such an abundance of fish and fowls
our stock grazing country such fine quan-
titles Of beef, that none need fear the pre-
mature probate of wills, throughout this
section of the country. Only few weeks
will elapsc before mother Garth will again
bless us with a bountiful supply Of her rich
productions.
The gold fever, which has severely and
fatally afflicted many during the past six
months has recently received a homeopathic
antidote, from the pen of some resident ply
sicians, who have truly radlised the humbug
and seem to speak from experience. Those
who have gone to the Peak, with the vain
hope of bcttering their condition, will in my
humble opinion meet signal disappoint-
ment. The number who have been infat,l.
ated with this mania in Minnesota will no;
exceed two thousand

We bid thee welcome once more -
We hail thy coming with transports of
joy The earth will soon be covered with
vegetation in all its loveliness. Soon will
we hear the songs Of the pretty birds which
cheer Us in our daily labor. No longer will
we be secluded from all that is beautiful
The dEeary winter has passed away. Once
more will we be cheered by the warbles OF
the sweet songters, that carol beneath tn:
! summer sun, and impart pleasure to the
sorrowing heart. We welcome thcc, O
Spring! Thou hast brought the gentle
breeze that waftes to us the delicious odOr
of the sunny south, thou hast brought YER
dure to the trees that cover our pleasant
hills and ravines, the refreshing rains that
water our earth. What more can we aslsof
| thee? We ask for no more than the cool
delicious and refreshing showers of Spring
Ny heart gives thanks to the great aud
| good giver Of all the beautiful thing, Of
earth. Onr hills will soon be covered with
the flowers that grow in great abundance
in these ''wilds." Down the ravine, the
little brook courses its way almost unseen,
for the heavy foliage that droops 50 graceful
ly DER its banks, which are strewn with
gay flowers; it looks the very picture Of
simplicity and loneliness. The verdant hill
tops smile pleasantly upon us, as they
beckon Spring afar off. The trees wave
their graceful tops, as il to give welcome to
the lettering spring. She comes! she
comes with the note of the wild bird as it
sings lazly in the tree; and with the flow
ers that are strewn DER our pathway. The
hedgways show that she hath been there !;
her noisless footsteps have marked the
earth with indclible prints, that seyre to
beautify the earth. Who wishes for spring
to pass? Not |. But its pleasures are
transient; we reach for them, and when
we think we have them safe within our
grasp, they are gone. She passes with glad
footsteps, and tarries but a moment with
each one of us, to say "Good Morning and
is Off again. She will not tarry, but pass
es off as lightly, and gently, as the snow on
the hill top that's exposed to the April sun.
She smiles on us but a moment, and sheds
Il tear on the ruin, and vicissitudes that
have taken. place since her last visit. No
wonder we worship shee. thou ever beauti-
ful and gay, thou fearful and yet lighthcart-
ed fearful, perhaps because thou mark
est the ruin that has befallen us since thou
; vert here before. Light hearted because
thou seest with gladness, the joy with
which we welcome thee. Thou bringest
freedom to US Thou strippest the earth
of her wintry garb, and givest her one
more BETTING it, when thou art here with
try smile.
MISS EVERGREEN.
