BEAST BUTLER AT A CAMP MEET
ING.-'Ihe average Massachusetts ''mln-
ister". believes that he can do anything,
unless it may be to perform miracle,
and even this has been tried in the
Martha's Vineyard camp meeting, in
the deliberate attempt to convert Doc
tor Butler. The scene is graphically
described in the. Boston papers. Gov.
Clafin was ON the ground, and "spokc
earnestly" and Senator Wilson "elo-
quently appealed to the unconver'ed."
Auid these and other appeals from all
quarters, Doctor Butler stood not only
unconvertcd, but unmuved. Whereupon
Clafn having failed, and the Natick
cobblcr having shufied and howled to
no purpose, "an anxious sister singled
ont Butler and earnestly entreated him
10 come up to the alter But the "anx-
ious sister" even. could not arouse But
lcr or bring him UP to the stand, where
the unc"nverted were to be specially
prayed for. Whcrcupon "a Jealous bro
ther ou his knees begged him to go for
ward, aud "the clergyman in charge
bcsought him, strenously,". even pro-
missing "to keep open the meeting all
night" if Butler would only try to be
converted. All these means failed
Butler was obtuse to the Jealous brother,
deaf to the anxious sister, and callous
to the open all-uight clergyman. The
trouble was, these over-cager people en-
dcavorcd to convert Butler-as some
sinners arc said to take the Kingdom of
Heayen-"by violence. Persuasion
would have been better-say dozen
spo"us or n silver teapot, hung up over
the anxious seat.

A Mystery.


1t is mystery to most people how
combination OF medicines put up un-
der one name can have sufficient cura-
tive powers to cure so many different
diseases, and often the very best OF rem.
edies are discarded or branded as
humbugs because they are recon-
mended to cure SO many COMPLAINTS
This nomenclature of diseases would
seem to imply some essential difference
between the diseases thus distin-
guished, whereas, they are really one
and the same disease, merely differing
by the amount of inflammation or irri
tation in one organ rather than the
other. For instance, from a torpid
state Of the Liver we have Jaundice,
Nervous and Sick Headache, Bilious
Fever, Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague,
Constipation, Neuralgia, and innumer-
able complaints under high-soundlng
names, all arising from a tlisordered
state of the Liver. Hence, we say,
that important organ;
purge out the vile accumulation with
Roback's Blood Pills, and once re.
stored to vigor, take Roback's Blood
Purifier or Stomach Bitters to keep it
performing its regular functions, and
you will be no longer troubled with
these many ailments. [24w4

Toledo City proper comprises arabic land,
of which 30 acres are enclosed, and 80 acres
under cultivation. OF this immense tract IL
acres were sowed to spring wheat last year,
from which their owners realised the snug
little bin>full Of 1878 bushels, q fair average
Of bushels per acre ID acres were planted
to corn, from which were raised 62O bushels,

srea, or 3 acres, was employed in raising
that fruit which saved Ireland from depopu-

There are 1905 fruit trees in process Of
growing, Of which 1896 have already shown

grape has already hung, ripe and juicy, from

Only 81 bushels of apples were gathered
from those 1906 trees and 1885 pounds Of
grapes rewarded the labor and patience Of the
owners of those 800 vines.

80 sheep, 8 mules and asses, LOG mich cows,
4 work oxen, So dogs and % hives Of bees.
