WHY WILL YOU DELAY.

Why will you neglect that disease which is
taking such deep root, and which gives you
warning by that hacking cough, that you are
fast ripenng for eternity2 Why encourage that
pain in the side, the raising of blood, those
night sweats, or that difficult breathing, which
silently whispers in your ear that something
must be done to save you from the grave of the
consumptive9 Why act carlessly by permitting
that disease to destroy your health, and hasten
you to the tomb from whence no traveller ever
yet returned9
Silence that Dreadful Cough!
Or death must carry you to your silent grave
Why delay while there is yet hopeH Consump-
ton is caused by impure humOrs Of the blood
being deposited in the cells of the lungs. Hence,
the lungs are like a spring of water, when rolled
m by the dirt or mud, If clear water constantly
flows through the springs, impurities or mud
will be conveyed away by the pure water just
so with the blood when kept in clean or pure
state as it constantly flows through the lungs,
It carries away all corrupt matter, and perfect
health will we the result. From two 10 four
Pills taken every night or every other night, or
enough TO keep the bowels regular, viii in a
reasonable time cure consumption. The reason
these pills are used moro than all others, is be-
cause they are made of purifying vegetables,
and cleanse the body from all corrupt matter,
and drive out disease Of every description, quick
or and in a milder way than any other Pills.

LOCAL DEPARTMENT.

Q The CoNcERT.-Yes, we were at the
Courthouse on Monday evening as a
listener to the musical entertainment CIV
en- by the Choir Of Grand Haven, under
the direction of Professor VAN NORMAN.
We were highly pleased, yea more, de-
lighted with the music so beautifully and
touchingly discoursed to us.
Prof. VAN NORMAN seems to possess
all the traits of first class vocalist and
teacher of music, and we should do injus-
tice to the musical talent Of our village
did we intimate that superior attainment
in this art divine, exists in any place of
equal size in Western Michigan.
On the occasion Of the entertainment
on Monday last, the courtroom was beau
tifully decorated with evergreens, in such
a manner as the good taste Of our ladies
would naturally suggest as most likely 10
please the audience and give charm 10
the occasion, and conspicuous over all
hung the stars and stripes Of our nation
al ensign that we as citizens Of this great
republic love to gaze upon. The hall was
well filed by an approaching audience
Mrs. HUBBARD and Miss L. II. WHITE
presided at the piano, and Mrs. You've al
the melodeon, each in her own peculiar
happy manner. The performance Of the
vocalists in the various descriptions of pie
ces was all that could be desired by thu
lover of good music. Our space does no
allow us to particularize. Suffice it t
say that the plaudits of the audience tina
followed the execution Of each portion o
the programme, whether by the who'll
choir, QUARTET, Duet, or solo, was am
pie proof that every one was delighted
and abundantly satisfied. After remark
at the close of the concert by Hons. I
w. FERRY and H. PENNoYER, the mul
titude dispersed, impressed with the ide'
that a musical concert is the best anti
dote to dependency, admirably calculates
TO drive dullcare away, and elevate us a
least one step higher in the scale of ration
al existence.

ZEE Passing the new Congregational
Church now in course of erection, a day
or two since, the busy thwack of the join
er's hammer attracted our attention. We
stepped in moment and found the in
side arrangement progressing finely-the
joiner work so far perfected as to allow the
mason an opportunity to drive forward
the lathing process without interruption.
Though every portion Of the work is plain,
yet it has an air of fitness and substan-
TALLY about it that renders it attractive
and pleasing to the visitor. MhAp GaTST

0OUR VILLAGE.-Our friends at dis
tance and those who have been occasion
ally our yisitera reass RR and prosperity of
Grand Haven compared with her sister
villages Of Western Michigan. We are
happy to have it in our power to state for
the information of inquirers, that within
+ the last half dozen years our village has
nearly doubled in size and population
During that time goodly number of
large and beautiful residences have been
erected by our business and professional
citizens, that give us quite city-like air /;
among these we may mention the man
sions of T. W. WHITE, of the three broth
ers PARKS, GEORGE, WILLIAM and JOHN,
Of ID. CUTLER, of the firm of Cutler,
Warts d. Stedgman, of H. MCCLURE,
and Of G. FRIANT, Of the firm of Friant q
Hopkins, lumber merchants, and the one
now in course Of erection by DIR. McNETT
all fine specimens Of taste and conven-
fence as well as Of size and architectural
beauty Added to these we have q
score Of others recently erected, of less
pretensions to eminence but possessing all
the requisites of comfortable homes, and
happy fresides-and notwithstanding
the hard times we are still progress
ing. Our village handmaidens, Fer
rysburg and Mill Point, have also greatly
enlarged their borders within the past
four years, and are still on the progress
i've, Notwithstanding they labor under
the disadvantages of hard times and
stringency of the money market in an
equal or greater degree than villages more
nearly allied to our farming communities.
Lamont grew rapidly during the two
years next preceding the change in oul
monetary affairs, and Eastmanville then
exhibited tokens of enterprise and life, but
for the last two years, Lamont has been
nearly stationary and Eastmanville is evi

SUIcIDE-A Frenchman, named Louis
Alexandra Lebouteux, who had been for
sometime in the employ Of Mr.. Shoemaker,
proprietor Of the Revere House, on the Hi
noistown road, committed suicide by taking
large quantity of opium on Sunday night,
the 9th inst. The deceased gave no cause
to suspect that he contemplated self-destruc-
tion-he appearing in his usual spirits before
returning to bed. On being called at the
usual hour on the following morning, and
not answering the summons, and some of
the inmates of the house hearing unusual
sounds from his room, sought the cause, and
found the man just about expiring. A box
that had contained the opium, and soda
bottle that he appeared to have used in di-
luting the opium, were found by his bed side.
The deceased had on several occasions
told Mr.. and Mrs. Shoemaker that he had
a wife living in Paris. After his death the
following letter was found behind the mirror
in his room directed to Mr.. Shoemaker, the
proprietor. In giving the address Of Madame
Lebouteux, it carries the belief of his having
wife living, and that he desired that she
should be informed of his death. Jims and
Sarah, mentioned in the letter, has reference
to Mr.. Shoemaker and his wife:
"'To live any longer alone on this earth
like am can not, now know many peo-
pie will said it is cowardly action for man
to destroy himself and more than that man
is not thirty five years old and when lie is
sure to be rich one day, but to them who
speake like this let me said they have some
body who Love them and some body TO Love
when II X | am alone Only
one soul on this earth will know why | have
Destroy myself when am so young yet but
that is my secret and buried him with me
in the grave.
May God forgive me for my last action in
this world may all those who have offend
ed forgive me, like forgive all those who
have offended Inc.
beg Pardon to you Jims and Sarah for
the trouble | will give to you don't be mad
again me and forgive me.
Know Farewell France my beloved coun-

well. LOUIS ALEXANDRA LEBoUrEux.
