A Heartless Father.

MANY months since young lady resld-
ing in this city married against the wishes
of her father, and as punishment for her
disobedience, the father declared that the
daughter should never again behold the
face of her mother, and as far as the life
of the mother was concerned, he kept his
VOW. At last the mother sickened was
informed that she must die; but still the
obdurate father would not allow the
daughter to visit her mother in the dying
hour. The mother died, and on last Sun
day the daughter, with heart almost
breaking with anguish, followed the fu-
neral train to the Baltimore Cemetery. She
begged, plead and entreated to be permit
ted to have but one look at the face OF her
mother, but the father refused to have the
lid of the coffin removed. The anguish
of the sorrow stricken daughter was pain
full in the extreme, and at last her grief
became so violent that the bystanders
gave vent to their feelings in such man
ner that the father consented for the re-
moval of the coffin lid, but it was only raised
"ever SO little," but that was enough for
the daughter to catch glimpse OF those
features, which, in years gone by, were
wont to make her young heart as warm =
as summers day. The weeping daugh-

The MarieIfa Lottery.

The BERKELEY & DUTToN lottery Of
Marietta has, in our opinion, prov
cd y grand sell. The list Of prizes
has been reduced from s36, 900 to
$4,000. Quite a number of persons
about Woodsfeld have forwarded
their tickets to Marietta lawyers to
collect back for them their money.
BERKELEY & DUTToN having viola.
ted every promise made to ticket
holders, our advice is: Send your
tickets TO Marietta and demand
your money for them. To repose
any further confidence IN the thing
is to lose yonr

Bathing aud Swimming.

Tho heated term Is approaching
and the season for bathing and
swImIng is at hand. q few impor-
tant hints and rules might safely
be observed by those who intend
to engage in the business, and, if
needed, may prevent accidents,
deaths and arrests.
The advise of the mother to her
son that she should not 60 into the
water until he first learned 70
SWIM should be strictly observed,
thereby preventing drowning. If
however, you are intent and deter
mined on not listening TO the ad-
wise of the old lady, then observe
these Instructions, to-wit: Al
about eight years of age you may
approach into the water ankle
doep, the next year go in up to the
knees, the third year to the hips.
the fourth year to the middle, the
fifth year TO the chin, and the sixth
year, then about fourteen years Of
aye, you may plunge IN all over, &c
the bottom and secure q few white
pebble stones, approach to the sur.
face, give q few loud snorts, and
then boldly strike ont with hands
and feet FOR the nearest land. II
you reach the shore you may count
yourself safe; but, if you fail, there
will be q Coroner's inquest held
over your body, and the verdict Of
the jury will be, "came TO his death
by drowning"
There is another thing you must
be careful 10 observe in this bath
ing and, swimming business. You
must not make any indecent expo.
sure of your person IN any water
course IN the vicinity of a public
highway or a dwelling house in any
city, town, village o. county. L
you do you are liable to a fine Of
not more than i've dollars, or be
imprisoned IN the dungeon of the
County Jail and fed on bread and
water only for the period of ten
days, Or both, at the discretion o.
the court. You must. therefore
be on your guard where and al
what time you bath and swim, for
in the course of human events, fol
your lndiscretions, you may find
yourself looking through the "ten
of diamonds" under the watchful
care of the County sheriff.
All these rules, hints, and in,
structions we give gratis, in the
hope that all interested parties will
profit by them.

KEEP YOUR EVE ON THIS.

Oh Thursday next, Campbell's
Menagerie & Circus will exhibit IN
McConnelsville. This mammoth
concern is made up of all that is
instructive and entertaining in the
Animal department, while the Cir
Gus, We are told, cannot be excelled.
The Menagar;e comprises every
species of the Brute tribe, spread
ing in variety from the pondroUs
elephant, and more graceful camel,
down to the agile, mIscheivous and
merry ape, including the only Afri-
Can EIand. or Horned Horse. in
America. The Circus IS made up
of a long list Of the most ceIebra-
ted performers in America, inclu-
ding the greatest of living female
equestriennes. little Mary Brown.
The Grand Street Parade will take
place AT 10 O'CLOCK, A. H., on the
day of the exhibition, forming q
%glittering display nearly a mile in
length. As this is the first Show
of the season in this locality, there
will, doubtless, be q general turn
ont from all parts of the country on
next Thursday. This will be the
case most surely, if nj farmers
can manage so as to possibly leave
their business On that Gay. We
caution the masses that will DO in
town on that day to be or the'look-
out for the three-c card monte sharp
ers that usually make their appear
ance, on such occasions, for the
purpose Of fleeing some not over
sharp victim out of his surplus
stock of greenbaeks. Don't let
them cntice you into anv of their
"little games" for, as sure as they
do they will win your money
Such fellows are not connected
connected with the Show, but are
mere %hangers-on and followers of
it.

PARAGRAPHS
BY A CoNTRIBUTOR.
Cure for Cholera MOrbus and
Other COmDIainlS.


other Complaints.
Late newa from Washington in
forms us that the Government, that
is Useless Grant, had been down
with the wind cholic. The Gov,
eminent had impruden.ly partaken
of strawberries, cream and sugar.
The creRm soured and curdled so
that the digestive apparatus of rhe
Government was paraIized, and
the fruit, instead of digesting, went
into rapid decay, causing o fearful
accumulation of foul gases in the
stomach of the Government, dis
turbing the bowels and causing in
tense pain. The treatment cons:s-
ted of a mustard plaster applied to
the bowels ard stomach of the
Government, and q hot brick to the
small of-the- back. In f~orty-elght
hours the Government was sufic-
ientIy convalescent tc bear fifteen
Einutes consultation with Fish OF
the State Department.
All the above information IS OBJ
tanned from Doctor Dom Pratt,
Republican Physician about Wash
ington City. The manner in which
the Government was treated, in It's
last sickness, may be successfully
adopted by all physicians when
called upon in a sewers case of
cholera morbus. Make a note Of
this, physicians, and in your prac-
tice, remember the treatment. We
publish this apparently infallibIe
remedy without charge, and OK
poct, during the coming hot season,
10 hear Gifts universal success.
But, now that the Government
has been ~resuscitated and saved fer
some great purpose, the query is,
what kind Of treatment shall be adj
ministereG to relieve the people
from the attack of "collar and mob.
US" made upon them by the Radi-
Gals. Instead of cure for disor-
dered in ards, the people are look
ing about them for something that
will prevent a collapse of their
pockets, threatened by tho huge
demands being made upon them by
bankers, bond~holders, tarri fites,
land-grabbers, scaIawags, carpet
buggers, ofice~holders, &c.
We venture, at this moment,
when the people are in great agony
and looking about for a physician
10 ease or cur them of the malady
that is upon them. and threatens
certain death, to advise them to go
to the polls this Fall and vote tho
Democratic ticket, dismiss their
horrible Republican quacks, and
employ welI>tried physicians of
practical experience. Take up
with those men who su ccessfuIIy
doctOred the family in other times,
and before the advent of quacks.

"Old King Cole was a jolly old soul,
And n jolly old soul was he,
He called for his pipe and he called
for his bowl,
And he called for hisfddIers three"
In some characteristics, Grant
wonId seem to be q descendant of
the Cole stock. After Grant was
relieved of his severe attack of
cholera morbus, noticed at length
III another paragraph, "he called
for his pipe and he called for his
BOWL" and, not having at hand
"his fddlers three" he called for
Secretaries ofState, War and Navy,
and, after a few minutes of confer
cnce, it was determined that the
Government must look after the
Irish, who we re making a demon
stration against that old tyrant,
John Bull, upon the Canadian from
tier.
I, Grant sits IN the White House
and smokes that cigar, and quLffs
that old rye from the demi.john
J gwen to HIM by some hungry fell
low who is looking after Office. and
issues a flaming proclamation in
forming the leaders OF the Fenian
movement that they, by their con-
duct, will forfeit all claim to pro-
lection by the American flag.
At this day, we think it Is all
nonsense to talk about the protec-
ton Of that good old flag. There
was q time, when other men ad-
minIstered the affairs of this Cow
eminent, that our flag fOatcd on
every sea and IN every port on the
globe. Then that flag was feared
and respected by all nations, and
extended its protection TO all IL
citizens wherever they might be on
the face of the habitable globe.
But now that very flag has been
trailed in the dust in Canada, and
torn down from the building occu-
pied by the american Consul. 1t
has been fired upon by n foreign
ship as it foated from the mast
head of ar American vessel. A
