CURE FOR SMALL -Pox.-We clip from
an exchange the following prescription,
which is said to be an infallible cure for
smallpox.
Won't some Black Republican get the
disease in order to test its efficacy? We
take the prescription from paper of that
strype; and if a good one, it ought to cure
our "colored brethern," who fought so
noJIy. If humbug, it is like everything
else found in their papers. We give it
for what it is worth:
"One grain of sulphate Of zinc, one
grain of fox-glove (digitalis ) mix with a
little water and sugar; then add three
ounces of water give the patient table
spoonful of this every hour. At the sec
ond hour the patient begins to feel its ef-
feet by great sense OF comfort. AT the
third hour a genial and natural warmth
pervades the system, and by the eighth
hour the disease is thoroughly arrested, no
matter what stage it may have reached
1t can be given at any period of the dis
ease. A smaller dose for children, accor-
ding to their age. One dose is far better
than two vaccinations.
1t has been used and is being used with
certainty in every case, arresting the dis
ease at once. II is used in the same man.
ner for scarlet fever, add with the same
positive success"

Attend to the Assessment.

No person can be permitted to vote in
this State on the Second Tuesday in Oc-
tober next, who shall not have paid State
or County tax within the two years immc-
diately preceding that day, which tax
must have been assessed at least ten days
previous to the 18th of October. 1t is
highly important, therefore, that all our
friends should Immediately give their at
tention to this matter, so that no democrat
shall lose his vote at the approaching elec-
ton, on account of non-assessment or non
payment of tax. Bear in mind that the
assessment must be TEN DAYS BEFORE
The ELECTION. Go at once and see that
your name is on the assessors book
Let no vote be lost to our ticket through
failure to attend to this matter.
GE BY the act of the Legislature, pass
ed last session. the assessor of each town
ship is authorized and directed to receive
and give receipts for the extra assessment
tax.

Gov. CURTIN ON Gov. SEYMOUR
Gov. Curtin, of this State, was asked the
other day, in the Union League club
house of Philadelphia, what was his opin-
ion of Gov. Seymour, He replied '-
"WelI, sir, if l were asked to mention a
man who, in my estimation. had the at
tributes of perfect gentleman, cultiya-
ted scholar, thorough statesman, and q
sincere Christian, | would, without hesita-
tion, name Horatio Seymour Of New York y
"How about Seymour's loyalty" safer
the dispatches that I sent Seymour at the
time of the rebel raid into Pennsylvania,
replied the Governor, sit would hardly be-
come me to impugn his loyalty the fact is
I have never doubted it. l understand
that Belmont is having all the dispatches
sent by Stanton and myself printed. and !
have no doubt they will bo 10 the hands
of every Seymour stump speaker through
the campaign. We had better give up
attacking Seynour's loyalty, for the oppo-
sition hold the trump card in that mat
ter.

EE The deep piety of General Grant
will bo no longer called in question by the
most bitter of his opponents. He may
show too stronga pcuchant for horse
flesh, and perhaps indulge sometime, in a
little old Bourbon, when Stanton or Sher-
idan calls, bnt he is undoubtedly pious.-
We have it on the authority of the Titus

declared that as regular as Sunday

Ev A new power press, which we
have put up in our office, since our last
issue, occasioned a delay of a few hours
in getting ont our paper this week. We
expect, in the future, to get our paper out
in time and at great deal less expense
of muscle.
We invite our friends, who come to
town, to drop in and take look at our
new machine. We're as proud of it, as a
young mother is of her first baby. We
