< The London Punch has done one good and
bold deed for which the public are thankful.
This humorist reprimanded no less person
age than the Duke Of Cambridge for loud
talking in his private box during theatrical
performances. On one occasion Mrs. Charles
Matthews was much annoyed by His Royal
Highness, and administered rebuke to him,
but whether he heard it or not is uncertain
The Duke ought to be ashamed Of such con-
Duct We also have among us little dukes and
duchesses who by loud talking disturb people
at theatres, concerts and lectures. We ought
to have o Punch to rebuke them. WE

CARELESS SHooTING.-Some lads yester-
day undertook to amuse themselves by firing
at a mark with pistol, in field in the vicin-
ity of Bracket street. Aiming the pistol
too high, bali passed over the fence and into
room in house near by: but not much
damage was done and fortunately no one was
injured. Two Of the lads were arrested and
taken to the Police station. The little fellows
were not aware they were violating an ordi-
nance Of the city, and the matter will be ami
cably arranged. Boys should be cautious how
and where they use firearms.

LNo. l.l FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.


 It is well established fact that no prepara- ton has ever been placed before the public, that, as q remedial agent for the safe aud spec dy cure of Coughs, Colds. Group, Inauenza. Ho rseuess, Tickling in the Throat, Soreness of the Chest and Lungs, and the rrlefof Con sumpiive Cough, is eqaal to Goes Cough Bal- sam Although not Known in the Western States until the fall of 1863. over 300 900 bot ties of it were sold and used byth people; its immense popularity being the result of it's un- doubted merit. The propretors, Messrs. c. G. Clark & Co.,. of New Haven, Ct.. who are among the most reliable of the Eastern Drug Houses, have offered to any man who would produce an article that would cure any Lung and Throat affections as quick as Goes Cuug Balsam, reward of $l00. and are without and taker, although the offer has been made public over two years The bottle compares favora- ply in size with any the 65 cent preparations and it's strength is second to none, making it not only the best, but the cheapest remedy in the world. We have the united testimony of such houses as Lord & Smith Fuller, Finch & Fuller; Burnham & Van Schaack; J. H. Reed & Co.,, and H. Sc0vill, all heavy drug. gists in the city of Chicago, together with the assurance of wholesale and retail druggists in all points of the Northwest. that they are sel ling more of this preparation, and thatit gives greater satisfaction than any other Cough Bal sam now extant. No family should be with. out it; it is within the reach of ull, tue price being only 40 cents. In time of health, pro- vide for disease.-Ca Chicago Tribune. 36 I'm.
