The NASTY SPITTERs.-An editor of a
neighboring newspaper says he attended
church in his place last Sunday evening and
was very much annoyed at an individual near
him who seemed to be trying to ascertain up
on how large superficial amount of carpet
he could spit, Or seemed to have contract
for flooding an aisle. We have seen the
same fellow in a public dining room, at the
best hotel in this city. The fellow ought te
be publicly exposed for his indecorous, indie
cent conduct in churches and public halls
at lectures and concerts, and in the dining
ROOM The idea of such fellow being toll
Grated by civilized people is absurd. Nc
well bred man will ever be guilty of such
filthy conduct

MARRIAGE NoTIcEs-Some of our ex-
changes give notice that they charge only fif
ty cents for publishing marriage notices.
while others say they publish them free
We charge one dollar for publishing such no
tees. Happy bridegrooms, and unhappy
ones, also, if such there be, should remember
this rule, and when they fee the officiating
mister Or officer, add dollar fee for the
printer. Those who have of late sent us
Vriage notices without this fee will under.
stand why their favors have not appeared in
print.
A man who can afford to get married can
afford to pay dollar for letting the publ,
know how happy he is. Slices of cake ane

hacks. These gentlemen are doing their

that while Spencer, Robinson d Co. are go

LYONS PERIODICAL DROPS.
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES.

1 have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts so powerfully, positively, and
hsrmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, as
does this medicine. In all recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer-
ers, are indebted to it FOR the boon of health to-
day.
Although powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emf
nent physicians in France and England, as well
as in my own practice, over ten yeais, and have
yet TO hear of the first instance of failure. I
could give you testimonials Of their efficacy from
| ladies all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over l00,-
600 bottles have been sold the past year, and i
hope and trust as many sufferers have been bene-
htted am well aware teat a remedy so potent
to remove all distractions may be used for a bad
purpose, but trust that where one bottle is TINS
used, ten may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers. =,
To all who suffer from any irreguiarity pain
| fui, difficult, excessive, offensive DISTRACTED

on's French Periodical Drops. Being fluid
preparation, their action is more direct and posi-
tive than any pills or powders. Explicit direc-
