Health's Best Defence,

"The weak eateth herbs" says st. Paul, so that
eighteen hundred years ago the value of medicinal
plants was appreciated. In the Old Testament
botanical remedies are repeatedly recommended,
but in no passage Of sacred history is man recon-
mended to swallow oalomel, or blue pill, or any
other mineral preparation. The sick were directed
to eat herbs to strengthen them to purify them, to
heal them to restore then. In that day the art Of
making vegetable extracts was unknown. The
herbal medicines were mere infusions.
1t was reserved for later age to unite the ssni-
tsry essences of tonic, aperient and antbilious
roots, barks, and plants with an active stimulant
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debi1tated or disordered system. The Gro Wning
triumph of this effective mode Of concentrating
and applying the virtues Of medicinal vegetables
was achieved in the production Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Never before had a perfectly
pure alcoholic stimulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest species Of the vegeta
BILE kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years
have elapsed since its introduction, has this
great restorative been equalled. It is taken in all
seasons, in all chmes the most potent safeguard
against epidemics, as protection against ali un-
healthy exhalatiOns that produce debility or beget
disease; a remedy for intermittent or other ma
larious feversj as an appetizer sovereign cure
for dyspepsia; a general tonic and invigorant;
gentle, painless aperient; as q blood depurent
as a neFvine; as a cure for bilious affections; as
harmless anOdyne; and as the BEST DEFENCE OF
HEALTH under unfavorable circumstances, such as
pursuits, undue bodily OF mental exeT-
ton, hardship, privation and exposure.

In an Ohio town not thousand miles norll
of Springfield, few days since, blooming
maiden was united in the holy and indissolu

name was Shoefely. Imagine the scene wher

A monkey belonging to Campbell's show es-
capped from it's cage at Bucyrus, ran up the
street to Mr.. CTaig's house, coolly went into
the pantry, selected the most promising pie,
and Immediately clambered up the house to
the top of the roof to enjoy square meal
without molestation. He was finally secured.
Boys who desire to bathe in the river, should
be careful to select some sport near a travel

If in the vicinity of highway, as many as
possible should congregate together and yell

sers may be attracted to the spot. This

They are better than meat for my cough;
Pray let them be boiled through,
But not till they're heavy and tough.

And the boys (when they've had enough),
Must keep the flies off with bough,
While the old horse drinks at the trough.
A daughter of a German farmer, living near
Toledo, was sent to the city few days since,
and while there was met by a young man
with whom she was acquainted, and who per-
suaded her to remain in the city with him, be
promising to support her. The father went
to the city and found her in company with
this man, who under some pretext got her out
of the way until the father returned home. |

We'll, yes. We could give the "affdavy"
of the individual who lost the bees, and so
happily found them, but then neighbo Mey-
ers would still remain incredulous. We don't
wonder, however. He has lived in Tifin so
long that "afidavys" have no effect upon him.
Should such thing occur near Tiffn, he
would exclaim "Can such things be and over

special wonder ?" And it couldn't.

oberlin gave birth to two sensations last
week. So thrilling were they that thepenof the
Netos editor shrinks from the duty of por-
TRACING them, lest justice could not be meted
out. One was of two of Oberlin's fair maids,
who becoming desperate, because of the in
tervention of wise preceptors between them
and their student lovers, stole forth in the
dim light of early morn, resolved to leave
their homes far behind by the aid of the morn
ing express. But alas, the sum required could
not be found in their purses, and baf1ed and
ehagrined they retraoed their wayward foot
steps to their homes, to dry their tears and
foster their secret, but it leaked out. The 9TH
er proved to be a hanging operation by some
boys, who, in their midnight preambulations,
hit upon the plan of supending gorilla from
a derrick at the soldiers monument. Of
course every body was terrified until the corpse
was removed and found to be skeleton be-
longing to the museum.

Sad Death.-About six o'clock on last
Saturday evening, a man was found near the
stave factory west Of the depot, comparatively
helpless and suffering from sickness Being a
stranger and without friends he was taken to
the Irving House where he was kindly cared
for DIR. Riggs was at once called, who pro-
nounced his disease a congestive chill. The
Doctor thought from the first that it would be
difficult to save him, yet he went to work and
under his skillful management, the man, at
one time, appeared easier. But about eleven
o'clock he began to fail and, a little before
twelve he died. On Sunday the town author
tiles took the body in charge and buried It.
1t was aseertained that the deceased had n
brother at Fremont who was telegraphed to on
Sunday morning, but as the trains do not run
on Sunday, he did not arrive here until Mon
day From him we learned that the name of
the deceased was E. j. Beilharz and that he
had been living, as the brother supposed, with
another brother in Liberty Center, Diiance
county. How he came here, without money,
in such sorry condition, is a mystery. The
brother, who is dentist in Fremont and ap-
pears like fine man, promptly settled all bills
and evidently telt very grateful for the kind
ness shown the deceased.-Bfyan Press,
The deceased had been out west for his
health, and was returning with the intention
Of spending some time with his brother, in
this City. On the way he was taken worse,
and at Bryan could go no further, and left the
train intending to telegraph to his brother
here, but was too feeble to accomplish his
object.
