Tue LADY's FRIEND.-The December

1t is truly a splendid one, being the hand
soonest yet issued. The opening plate,
"The Snow-Birds' Christmas VISIT" is a

Christian Andersen's, is one of those en-

Pass IT ALoNG.-Yes, pass it along,
whether you believe it or not-that one
sided whisper against the character of a
virtuous female. You say you don't believe
it, but you will use your influence to bear
up a false report and pass it as current.
Strange creatures are mankind! How
many hearts have bled by a whisper =
How many benevolent deeds have been
chilled by a shrug of the shoulder !
How many individuals have been shun.
ned by a gentle, mysterious hint How
many graves have been dug by a false re-
port! Yet you will pass the SANDER
along-you will pass it above tho wa.
tiers by a wag of the tongue, when you
might sink it forever. Destroy the pas
sion for telling a tale, we pray you lisp
NOT a word that may destroy the charao.
ter Of another, and as far as You are con.
cerned the SANDER will die.

men ced, and that all may be comfortably
clad, it is necessary that they should Sc
lect the best, as we'll as the cheapest style
of furs to shield them from the cold blasts

to get them is at the Hat Store of W. A.
Mykrantz, where he keeps constantly OF
hands the cheapest and best styles of furs
of all kinds, both OF lady's and gentle
mans wear, hats, caps, gloves, &c. Give
him a call at his store, opposite the Bank,

Gen. McClellcn in the u. s..
Senate.


We would suggest to our friends in
New Jersey, and especially to the Demo-
cratic Legislature just chosen, that Geo.
B. Mcclellan be elected United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. Ten Eyck. The
Democratic party would hail his presence
in the upper House of Congress with de-
light. in such a position his command
ing talents as a statesman, as well as his
exalted virtue as a patriot, wonld shine
forth in all its vigor and power of unre-
stricted and u~nconfned freedom. Meth
er the President, nor Stanton, nor Gen.
Halleck, could touch him there. There
he would meet Wade and Sumner, and
Chandler and Wilson on ever and equal
ground. In such a I position bis sagaclous
and far-seeing mind, his just and compre-
hensive views, his enlightened and high
toned morality, his upright and spotiess
character, would have full and free scope
of Development of action. He would be
q tower of strength to the time honored
principles of the National Democracy, q
pillar of power in representing that wide
spread sentiment which exists in the
country and which though now in minori-
ty, u continue to be a power, a health
full power, in restraining the Administra-
ton from too great license and desp otism.
We therefore again nominate General
Mcclellan for the u. 8. Senate, and
trust those journals who ~sympathize with
us in this view will join us in urging the
Legislature of New Jersey to elect him

FACTS FOR h PEoPLE.-It is a well
established fact that no preparation has
ever been placed before the public, that,
as a remedial agent for the safe and
speedy cure of Coughs, Colds, Group, In
fucpza, Hoarsness, Tickling in the
Throat, Soreness of the Chest and Lungs,
and the relief of Consumptive Coughs, is
equal to Goes Cough Balsam. AL
though not known in the Western States
until the fall of 1868, over 100000 bot
ties of it were sold and used by the peo-
pie ; its immence popularity being the re.
suit of its undoubted merit. The propri-
etors, Messrs. G. G.. CLARK Dc Co., of
New Haven, Ct, who are among the
most reliable of the Eastern Drug Hous-
es, have offered to any man who would
produce an article that would euro any
Lung and throat affections as quick as
Goes Cough Balsam, a reward of 500,
and are without any taker, although the
offer has been made public over two years.
The bottle compares frvorably in size
with any of the 65 cent preparations, and
its strength is second to none, making it
not only the best, but the cheapest reme-
dies in the world. We have the united
testimony of such houses as Lord Il
Smith ; Fuller, Finch & Fuller; Brun-
ham & V~anSchaack j. a. Reed & Co.,
and Fl. Scovill, all heavy drngests in the
cit Of Chicago, together with the assur-
ance of wholesale aud retail druggists in all
points of the Northwest, that they are
selling more of this preparation, and that
it gives greater satisfaction than any 9TH
er Cough Balsan now extant. No family
should be without it; it is within the
reach of all, the price being only 40 cts.
In time of health, provide for disease

HITCH Your HoRsEs.-We very fire.
quently observe horses standing on the
reefs unhitched, and it is really surpris-
ing that there are not more runaways
than there are. It is very careless to
leave a horse standing unhitched any,
where, but more especially SO In town
If the man leaving his horse unhitched
were tie only sufferer it would make but
little odds, for he should suffer some for
his carelessness; but it often happens
that other parties are the greater sufferers

will find good hitching posts on the back
streets and east cf the Town Hall.
