Headache, and Bilious Fevsrs, ihdssd
for the whole Class Of Diseases ofiki-
nRting In hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmstic countries.
No one remedy Is louder called for by the ne.
%cessities Of the American people than q sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such a remedy
we ore now enabled to oaer, with a perfect Ger
tainty that il will eradicate the disease, and with
assurance, founded on proof that no harm can
arise from rs use N any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must DO Of immense service IN tho commu-
mites where IL prevails. Prevention Is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run IN violent attacks Of this baleful
distemper. This "CURE" expels the mias-
matte poison Of FEVER AND AGuB from tho
system, and prevents the development OF thc
disease, if taken on Che first approach Of is pro

remedy ever yet discovered for this class ofcom-

tity We supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts,
where FEVER \ AouE prevails, every body

Il within the reach Of all tho poor as well al The
rich A great superiority Of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for tho speedy and

ling Of Concord President, and Stephen Howe

The committee on resolutions presented
the following, which were adopted.
Resolrca, That in Abraham Lincoln we be-
hold the man for the times. possessing integ-
rity that cannot be impeached, unswerving Fl
deity to the platform of the Republican party
(the Only party whsh interprets the Constitu-
ton according to the intent of its framers)
and never-tiring energy, well fitting him to
meet and overcome the storms which will en-
compass him during his administration.
Resolred. That in James Buchanan we re-
cognise blind instrument in the hands of
Providence for the ostracism of his former
followers, and the entire defeat of the self
styled Democracy in our republic, and that we
will do all in our power to bring back the
government to the pristine virtue and the Just
theory of the Fathers of the Republic
Resolred. That we endorse the republican
principles that emanated from the "Wiywam'
at the late Chicago Convention, and that were
contained in the platform adopted BY that
body, and that We will do all in our power to
secure the election of the men then put in no
minalion for President and Vice President.
Resolred. That we heartily approve Of the
nominations made at our Republican state
convention held at Rutland July 81. 1860;
and the nominations for county officers made
by this convention, and that we will not rest
satisfied with simply an election, but will give
the men put in nomination that majority they
so richly deserve.
On reading CT the resolutions the conven-
ton was addressed by Hon. Jacob Benton OF
Lancaster, when, after the transaction of the
usual business the convention adjourned.

ael, monster of depravity, who soon depos-
ed Theodore from her rank, and imprisoned
her and her daughters for life in convent,
where, probably, the fallen Empress remem-
bered Icasia with envy, and mourned that
she herself had ever received the unfortu-
nate prize of the golden apple. En- reranche
for its mischiefs, the apple has sometimes led
to good as in the instance of William Tell,
when it was the remote cause of the liberia
ton of Switzerland and in the instance of
Sir Isaac Newton, who was led to discover
the laws Of sravitation by an apple falling
on his head
In the Scandinavian mythology. the God
dess 1duna kept in box kind of apples of
which the gods ate when growing old and re-
newed their immortality. Lok, the evil gen
ius, carried away Iduna, and kept her prison
er in thick forest. The gods were in dan
ger of becoming decrerit, till Lok was con-
quered by Thor the Thunderer, and forced
to restore lduna and her rejuvenating fruit.
This fable seems derived from some obscure
tradition Of the fruit of the tree of life, and
Of Eve and the serpent.
In the classic mythology apples are sacred
to Venus, from her gaining the prize of the
golden apples from Paris in his famous judg-
ment, and they were dedicated to Hercules
from his conquest Of the golden fruit of the
lesperides. In the Pythian games, apples
consecrated to Apollo were the reward of the
victor.
In England it was long customary to bless
the new apples on st. James day July 2j,)
and on Twelfth Day TO sprinkle apple trees
with libations of cider, accompanied by the
singing Of some rude, ancient rhymes, Gus
tom supposed to be relic of the rites OF Po-
mona
The apple mentioned by Solomon in Cam
ticles is believed to be the citron (citrus mec-
ica) for the apple is not grown in Palestine.
Solomon describes the fruit as of golden
color, and with very fragrant and reviving
cent-circumstances true Of the ctron, but
not Of the apple.

HumOrs of the Census.

Although the marshals engaged in taking
the census sometimes experience annovances,
yet they occasionally meet with persons who
afford them no little amusement. Their task
is cften hard one, and exposes them to
charges of impertinence from those who do
no, really understand the Importance of
numbering the people," One of the mar
shals of New Jersey, whose field of opera
TORS is in the interior, at place somewhat
remote from railroad depots, found consider
able difficulty in getting information from an
"ancient maiden lady" whom he had address,

cent of tax on it, tew. 'Taint best for YOU to
come shopping around to find out matters
that don't consarn YOU"
Her body, interposed at the doorway, al
though thin and why, prevented his passage
into the house. The marshal would gladly
have taken seat, but she offered no such
luxury to her inquisitor. "lIev ever been

haps you'd like to have our pedigree right
down from Adam. But you can't. 'spect
you're some fellow from York, come out to
seek whom you may devour. You'd better
so back agin ! Take our senses, indeed :"
The marshal tried to explain matters, to
give her to understand the necessity and re-
iuirements of the law, and particularly to
convince her that he was not resident of
Gotham. lie utterly failed, however, tor his
next question only increased her anger
"Hev | got any children Why, YOU imper'

into passion, and turning away slammed
the door in his face. From her remarks
however, he gained the following facts =

instance Of his political sagacity. He had
triumphantly answered that set of interroga-

his antagonist should be presented collec-

Gov. Randall Of Wisconsin received let
ter asking if the dog law was in force, and he
replied as follows
DEAR SIR Your letter in regard to the
Dog Law is received. The bill was prop.
erly signed. and is the law of this state, ard
that law will not be repealed with my appro-
baton while | remain in office. No good
citizen will object to it or refuse to obey it.
A man who is able to own a dog which costs
as much to keep as to keep COW, is able to
get a collar for him. No good citizen will
refuse to make the sacrifice of obedience to
that law when he must know that if it is en-
forced 1t will save to the farmers and stock
growers of the state from $4,000 to $4,000
every year, and increase the number of wool
growers very largely. Every human life lost
by the bite of a mad dog is worth more than
all the dogs in the country. A man who is
not willing TO sacrifice one dollar for his
privilege where so great benefit may accrue
to the state by compliance with the provis-
ions Of the act, ought to be kicked out of it.
Very truly yours.
ALEX. W. RANDALL.
