The White Pine Compound, advertised at length in

Is highly approved medicine. Dr. j. w. Poland,

The Editor of the Manchester Daily and Weekly

Compound.
'The White Pine Compound is advertised at m UGH

the demand for it is increasing beyond all nreyious
expectations. 1t the very best medicine for Coughs
and Colds we know OF, and no family that has once

Poland is SUCH thatwe know that he will not coun-

which has saved himself, and called out from hum

the understanding, it must be observed
that there are two modes Of Judging Of
anything one, by the test Of what has

what it is perfectly easy to conceive Z no
man, before he has tried, can tell how
difficult it is to manage prejudice, jealousy
and delicacics, and to overcome all that
friction which the world opposes to
speculation. Therefore, the fair, practical
rule seems TO be, to compare any exerfion
with all similar eXertions which have pre-.
ccded it, aud to allow merit to any one
who has improved, or at least who has
not deteriorated the standard Of excellence
IN his own department Of knowledge
Fastidious men are always judging,oy the
other standard; and, as the rest Of the
understanding cannot fill up in century

report published in the San Francisco
Bulletin relative to the arrests in Green
Valley Of parties charged with exnitiHg
over the assassination of President LID
coin, "was false in every particular, save
the bare fact that the parties were arrest
ed. From persons who were in therNal.
ley at the time and who have seen and
conversed with the prisoners and the off,
Ger who made the arrests, we learn that
instead of the party being fortified. at
James house or anywhere else, each man
was arrested at his own house. The
shooting was done by Charles Ramsey
exclusively. The soldiers contrary to or
ders burst in his door at late hour of
night and without the least warning. Mr.
Ramsey fired thrice from an upper win
dow and slightly wounded two of them.
The report of jollifcation being held
over the news of the Presidents assassina-
tion was equally false with Others
Charles Ramsey has no son in the rebel
army nor did one of his sons ever kill
man in the squatter troubles as reported.
The general impression now is. that the
whole thing was malicious project of
the squatters, who hate the Green Valley
farmers as purchasers of the Fris6ic title"

The AGUE.-The editor Of the Fremont
Democratic Messenger has been having
the ague, and here is what he says about
it:
The Ague.-Did you ever have it? II
not 60 and get it, for no mortal man ever
experienced cussedness" without the
siege of the tormentor Toothe ache is
some, but ague is muchly more. If you
are saint youSTill swear; if a sinner you
will pray and if an abolitioniSts you will
feel like turning from evil ways. Its
symptoms are eccentric, curious and con.
founded disagreeable. You stretch, you
yawn, you shiver, and feel cold. Then
cold chills run all over you, winding up
with big one running down your back
feeling about as pleasant as the measured
tired of a thousand legged worm on the
bare skin. Then you get colder. You
have more chills and bigger thousand
legged worms. Then you get colder still.
You think you want drink of cold water
and after taking it you are in splendid
condition to shake, and shake you will.
After q while the "shakes" leaves you
and then the fever comes. You feel hot
hot as lake of fire and birthstone, and
your bones, no how they ache. 1t may
be pleasant to sleigh ride; to eat oysters
or draw big salary in greenbacks, but
that is no reason to believe it is agreeable
to have the ague. We had it the other
day. We hal it hard. We want it new
or again. After all some people get used
to it.
We were acquainted with native ou
in the black swamps Of Van Vert Coun
ty, who deemed it a source of consider
able profit. He was a tall shallow-facec
fellow, composed principally of muscle
bones, skin, an old gun. and few plug
of "dog leg" at shilling pound. HI
was man Of undoubted integrity and M
one thought of disputing his word--i
wasn't healthy. We remember of having
heard him say that many time whcr
out coon hunting the shake" would comC
on him, and if he had coon treed all h,
had to do was to clap his arms arounC
the tree and hold tight. 1t did not TAKE
more than five minutes to bring Mr.. Coony
down. Sometimes when in hurry, ht
would take a coon by the tail and shake
it out of its hide in the twinkling of an
eye. That's what We would call making
good out Of a bad thing. Nevertheless
let every man pray for deliverance from
the ague.
