The Drugs commonly administered to Fever
and Aguc patients are generally ruinous to the
system, instead Of curative and strengthening:
yet the nostrums devised 10y sclf-sufticicnt old
women are not much better. Something is
needed which shall be the product of profound
skill in the healing art, yet beyond the ordi-
nary routine OF the profession. This dcsidcra-
tum is supplied by the distinguished DR.. J.
HOstettcr, whose Bittcrs take rank among the
most wonderful medicines ever devised. Its
effects are speedy and certain. Even the most
settled cases of the disease yield to the tonic
properties of the Bitters.

Fanny Fern says if one-half of the
girls knew the previous life of the
mcn they marry, the list of old maids
would be wonderfully increased :; and
the Boston Post Post says if the men
could look into the future lives of the
women whom they marry, that
would increase the number of old
maids :; but Richardson says it is fol-
ly to talk of such things, for old maids
never have any increase.

The Cedar Valley Times of the 18th
inst, says that one of the most dis
tressing accidents that ever occurred
in Linn county, took place in Putnam
township, last Monday. The circum-
stances were as follows: Mr.. Eli
Mabee having loaded his gun on Satur-
day, for the purpose of shooting chick
ems, but for some reason could not
discharge it, took it down from its
hangings for the purpose of repairing
it. Having seated himself in a chair,
he went to raise the hammer of the
lock, when his thumb slipped off, the
gun discharging. and the contents
taking effect in his wife's back. Mrs.
Mabee lived in great agony until
Tuesday morning, when death relieved
her of her pain. The deceased was
q years Of age, and had been mar
ried about two years.

The past week has shown an increase in the retail mar
ket business the previous week and the supplies of
most every kind Of food have been quite reasonable In
the fresh meat trade find nothing particular to n,a
and the prices remain the previous quotations
In the poultry and game trade we note several new va
reues, besides pretty good supply Of the old qualities
but with no corresponding change in prices This evil
IDENTIFY shows that the demand is quite equal to the supply
IN the butter and cheese trade notice liberal supplies
but changes in retail prices. In the fish trade there
has been slight changes by the addition Of several
kinds and the advance in prices of others Salmon
trout from lake Ontario of very superior quality is
selling at 15c per b. The constant wet weather had
during the week before last prevented farmers dig
gng potatoes, consequently have to note advance
poatoe crop both in our own and Western States liz said
TO be good the Nova Scotia crop reported very

quite small during the past week Next week larger
quantities are expected TO arrive in canal boats Choice
pears are quite scarce, and tie prices asked almost
fabulous. Ounces have commenced to 10 market,
