Every Farmer and Stock Raiser Is convinced
that an impure state of the blood originates
the variety of diseases that affiict animals such
as Founder, Distemper, Ffstula. Poll-Eyil, Hide
Bound, Inward Strains, Scratches,
Mango, Yellow Water, Heayes, Loss OF APpe-
tigue from Hard Labor, and Rheumatism,( by
some called Stiff Complaint.) proving fatal to
many valuable Horses. The blood is the
fountain of life ITSELF and if you wish to restore
health, you must first purify the blood; and to
insure health, must keep it pure. In doing
this you infuse into the debilitated, broken
down animal, action and spirit, also promoting
digestion, dc. The farmer can see the marvel
Gus effect of LEIS' CONDITION POWDER,
by the loosening of the skin and smoothness of
the hair.
Certificates from leading veterinary surgeons,
stage companies. livery men and stock ralsers,
prove that LEIS' POWDERS stand pre-emi-
nently ut the head of the list Of Horse and Cat
tie Mpdi lines

LEIs' POWDER is an excellent remedy for
Hogs. The far1ner will rejoice to know that ii
prompt and efficient remedy for the various
diseases to which these animals are subject is
found in LEIs' CONDITION POWDER. For Dis
temper, inflammation of the Brain, Coughs, Fe-
yers, Sore Lungs, Measles, Sore Ears, Mango,
Hog Cholera, Sore Teats, Kidney Worms, &C.,
q hfty-cent paper added to tub of swiIl and
given freely, is a certain preventive. 1t pro-
notes digestion, puriies the blood, and is there
fore the BEST ARTICLE for fattening Hogs.

A WHOLESALE PoIsoyER RusrrcArryG Al

Nearly year ago man named John w.
Nannaita, from Fort Wayne, won the atTec-
tons ct a Miss Horn, Of this place. aud in
Apr,. last married her, very much against
the wishes Of her parents aud friends, who
used every effort TO persuade her TO break of
the match. On the wedding night nearly
all the guests-a party Of thirty in number
were taken violently sick, with every ap.
pcarancc Of poisoning. A sister Of the
bride died from the effects Of the poison.
Within the past few DAYS the bridegroom of
this OCCASION has proposed an clopement with
a young lady, q Miss Bennett, and in his last
letter TO her gives fall history of the p0is.
oulug at the wedding, acknowledging that
he pat a quantity Of arsenic into the pot from
which the coffee was prepared, and saying
that he did it in revenge for the manner IN
which the family had traated him. This
letter Mas placed in the hands OF officers,
who effected the arrest Of Vnnuatta last
night. After examination he Was commit
ad to jail in default of bail, fixed At $4,000.
Great excitement exists in this community
in consequence Of the wholesale attempt at
murder. All the parties concerned are
among our most respectable citizens.

One Of the charges made against the ad
ministrations of Messrs Eggleston aud
kimball was for not reducing the price Of
gas The chief man in preventing q reduc
ton WAS Alderman HAYES, and see he is
candidate for reelection. The fact is that
neither Mayor MuriocS nor any man Of the
majority in the council has made the slight
est effort to reduce the price Of gas although
ihey got power by condemning their prcdc
cessors for not doingit. And the fact is that
they have actually paid more money for gas
than the administration which preceded
them. And if HAYES, and the other alder.
men,and Muriock, shall be elected the euor.
nous price of gas will not be reduced
Those who want the price of gas reduced
should see to it that the MurdOck ticket il
de feated.

Mn. EnlToR-E perceive, by the official
report, certified to by b. Q. Reid, city clerk,
aud published in your paper, that Mayor
Murdocks administration has paid more for
salaries, more for police, more for fire de-.
partmeut, and more for printing, than the
administration which preceded it. Coming
into power on pledge to reduce expenses
and taxes, Mr.. Murdock's administration
has actually increased expenses and in.
creased taxes. This is enough TO condemn
him and his administration. His party has
now nominated one Of the old aldermen
lHawes) for reelection, and three others
whom, in my opinion, will not aid the PEG
pie in reducing expenses and taxes. OF
course the clique which brought Mr.. Muir.
dock into Office will nominate him again,
though he has accomplished the very reverse
of what was promised when he was elected
If the people want a reform in city matters
they will have to look to other quarters than
Murdoch and Hawes who have run the ma.
chine the past year, and will for the year to
come, if the people reflect them.
