all remedies prescribed by the best med

ECLLCWAYS'
VERMIFUGE
CONNECTIONS.

DR. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress occasloned sickly
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges of that day. resolved to annalize
them, and from tie most effective OF
these.remedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tasteless and inodorous Then, by COM
bining these with sugar. and moulding
them into an agreeable CONNECTION, form-
ed the present popular and effective YER
mifuge known as
HOllOway's yermifuge Connections.
Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Vermifuges, to the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con-
tains no calomel or other poisonous In
gradients.
Sohighly esteemed is this popular Fer-
mifuge, by the profession, that all intel
ligent Physicians who know Of them,
prescribe them in preference to other
remedies as not only more pleasant to
take, but more effective tocure.
Parents and guardians, having the care
ofchildren, should keep them as fam
lily medicine; for they not only eradicate
worms-those pests ofchildhood-but cor
rect any arrangement of the digestive
organs, so prevalent with children.

GOOD TKNPLARs' SUPPKR.-We made
q note on Saturday of an affair that was
to come of that evening at Melodeon
Hall under the auspices of Peeeless
Lodge No. 43 i. o. G.. T. We took oc-
casion to express our opinion that it
would be something nice, and now
after visiting the Han we are prepared
to say that we do not remember to
have ever at: ended more pleasant en-
tertainment than the one of which we
are. writing. The tables were filed
with nice things, neatly. arranged and
presided over by fair ladies. The
mush and milk department at the east
end of the Hall was a prominent fea-
ture OF the occasion, being crowded to
excess all evening. To those who have
been reared in a city we suppose this
article Art OF diet Is 4 rarity, judging from
the constant stream of persons going
forward to get their InCian meal and
tactical fluid. yYe Local WasInk -
anxious on that score, having had his
full share OF the article many years
since.
The installation ceremonies were
conducted In solemn and impressive
manner by D. w. @. T. Johnston. and
were witnessed by large and appreci-
alive assembly.
There was a spirited contest over
splendid Fegalia and an active canvas
WAS being made by the contestants'
friends. The polls had not closed when
We left, but we have no doubt a hand
some SUM was realized for the reRalia.
and somebody's heart was made glad
by being the recipient Of that token OF
esteem.
We did not learn the amount melted
from the entertainment, but have NO
doubt that it was fully up to the expec-
tations of the management. It could
not be otherwise, for the Hall was COM
pletely full from the hour of opening
10 the close, and everybody seemed TO
be both hungry and anxious 70 exercise

ten cents.

NAsBY's NATIvITY.-It is not gener-
ally known that our State has the hon.
or OF being the birth place of D. r.
Locke, alias Petroleum v. Nasty. The
father of the celebrated writer settled
more than thirty years ago near the
town OF Kingwood, in Preston county,
from whence he emigrated with his
family to Ohio, when 'tNasby0 was
about eight years OF age.
Several of the name, who are mem-
bers OF the same family, live in Bar
bour and Taylor counties. Their rela-
ton TO ''Nasby" is no nearer than
cousin, we believe. So says reliable
gentleman" from Preston county.
There are almost as many States claim
ing the nativity of "Nasby," as there
were cities that prided themselves on
being the birthplace of Homer. While
we are disposed to stand by our State
in everything that can be legitimately
claimed for her, we must take issue
with our friend who contributes the
above. 1t is pretty well settled fact
that "Nasby" first saw the light else
where than in West Virginia. We be-
lieve that New York is entitled to the
honor. II our correspondent has any
data on which our claim Is founded, be-
side the above, we will be glad IL he
will furnish Il.

variation in the programme which has
been SO long in use in this Court on
Saturday morning. There was actual
ly a case for adjudication, and notwith-
standing his Honor has had SO little

and 1t would have failed entirely had
1t not been for some confessions made
to the officer by Hurley. The evidence
against him was not so strong as repre-
scented before trial. Possibly Mrs.
Hurley relented after being received
into a neighboring house and made
comfortable. When she WIS walking

We are indebted to Senator Wiley
and representative Hubbard for copies
Of the Congressional Directory of the
XLth Congress.
Over in the Ohio Legislature they have
the interest laws up for discussion, as
on this side OF the river. There Is also
resolution providing that no railroad
company shall issue free pass to any
State officer, member of the General
Assembly, or representative of the

The late action OF the Ohio Legisla-
ture In repeating former ratification
Of an article of amendment to the
United States Constitution, is said to
be unprecedented in its character. The
Washington correspondent to the Bal
umore Sun aIludes to II thus;
"This Is the first case of retroactive
Legislation of this particular character
in this country, and hence the subject
was referred 70 the judiciary commit
tee with instructions to ino uire into the
legality of the action of the State
legislature Another important ques-
ton involved Is whether the President
can send back to State the record OF
It's action ratifying a constitutional
amendment upon subsequent action of
such Legislature, for the resolutions
adopted request the return of such re-
cord. We will probably have an early
report upon the subject from the Judi
clAry committee, aud whatever NAV be
the action OF the National Legislature,
the subject viii certainly be taken to
the court for fnal adjudication"
AT the session. on Thursday last, of
