wistar,s Balsam of wild Cherry.

We call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement Of Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry in another col
umn, and assure them they can find no
better remedy for coughs, cold. asth
ma, bronchial affections, or any disease
Of the throat or lungs.
In August, 1858, an estimable friend
Of ours returned from visit in the
country much emaciated, and laboring
under severe cough, which had made
such rapid inroads upon her constitu-
tion that we felt something must be
done at once, or she would become
victim of consumption. Having known
the beneficial results which have oc-
cured from the use of WiSrar's Bal
sam, we made purchase of some for
her, and are happy to say that before
she had taken the contents of one bot
tie her cough had entirely left her, and
she is now in the enjoyment of excellent
health. -OIlue Branch.

Take Pity on Him.

We sincerely trnst some of our femi-
ninity will take pity on Suydam of
the Gazette, and not leave him to pine
away for the want of a keeper We
can give him good recommendation
as regards honesty never having known
him to take anything which he thought
he wouldn't like to own. AS print
err he must necessarily be modest, gal
liant, full of soft soap, but not easily
soft-soaped, strong minded on certain
subjects, especially female rights, I'M
fiinchingly jealous in all spiritual
works, and above all no flirt-who ev-
er heard of printer who had the as
surance to be firt. Take pity on
him, ladies, we pray you, ere he again
goes off In rhapsodical strain of lam-
entation. Farewell, Alex-we can
almost hear the foot falls of an almost
ETHEREAL being dressed in sky-blue p nk,
as she fits over us en- route for Fleni-
ington. What a blowout we will
have when the fatted calf is killed. -

Mr.. Stryker's Poem.

We neglected to speak particularly
of the Poem read before orr Lyceum
by VIM. E. Stryker, A B., of TreG.
ton, on Monday evening the 9Th inst. !,
and, therefore, speak of it now. Of
the merits of the production we can
not speak too highly, while the points
and hits, both satirical and humorous,
delivered in Mr. Stryker's happy way,
drew unboqnded applause from the
large and respectable audience. Mr..
st"Eker was appointed Honorary Poet
of his class, and we cannot bur say he
well sustains his honor in his produc-
ton, " A Glance at the Times" We
hope, ere long, to have the pleasure OF
again listening to another Poem from
the same source.

In Self-B efence,

that my present issue of advertising
results from falling off of business

wise Creator, to serve them through
life, and not to torment them for few
years, and then be torn from their
sockets by unscrupulnus and nnskilled
men, calling themselves Dentists.

Changing the Team.
Last Sunday night a yonng gentle
man of Head Quarters, in this county.
took it into his head to sit mp with
some calico for few hours. Accord
ingly he put a saddle on a very COOS
horse and started. Arriving at the
place of destination the animal was put
sungly into the stable, and he repaired
to the house to see his fair one. The
time passed pleasantly by, and soon the
time for departure was at hand, and
after the usual preliminaries previous
to starting had been gone through
with, he repaired to the stable, and
upon entering he said, Stand over
B )" but instead of quiet step 10
one side there was sudden bounce.
He approached little nearer and com
menced feeling for the bride, when, to
his utter establishment, he came in con
tact with pair of long ears, his horse
having changed to o Mule during hi>
stay He considered awhile what TO
do, bnt finally concluded to ride the
animal home. So he mounted and
started, but found riding mule bare
back, with a blind bride on, not what
it is cracked up to be.
The owner Of the mule offers s., 90
to find out who rode his mule.
From the marks in the mud next
morning, it is supposed that the ami
NAL must have went at the rate ofabont
2:40, for his tracks were IL feet apart.
The SIS, 90 will be paid for the APP
prehension of the man that rode the
mule last Sunday night.
