Though know she is playing kit en- with me.

Read what the editor of the Cincinnati Time
says of ALIENS LUNG BALsAM:
A REMARKABLE CURRENT. Samuel Lewis, one o
the old Pioneers OF Cincinnati, was very long, ap-
Iarently, in the last stages of Consumption, and
given up by physicians, when some kind friend re-
commended him to use ALIENS LUNG BALsAM.
he did SO, and Immediately comm enced recovering,
and is now able to attend to business He says sIn
truth, may say it has saved my life. Mr. Lewis is
well known in Cincinnati and the fullest confidence
may be placed in his statements 1t DUE therefore,
TO the community, especially those suffering under
this terrible malady, that the fullest publicity be
given to such marvellous cures, that other sufferers
may avail themselves of the remedy. With pleasure,
therefore, we refer to this cure.
From our knowledge of the merits of tIis excel
lent balsam, and what we hear of is merits, we
think it should be at used by all persons suffer-
ing from cough, or any pulmonary com plant. We
hear that many far advanced in umption have
been cured by its use. dc1444w

SOMETHING SEw.-There's no end to inven-

MUS OF this country, we imagine, must be de-
voted TO the Invention OF washing machines or

We are always ready to call any new contriv-
ance n washing machine until we are other
wise informed. Nine-tenths OF the washing
machines patented, however, are ONO account.

probably do all that Is claimed for 1t. A
washing was done with II at our house inside
OF an hour, and very satisfactorily, which
1t would have taken an ordinary washer two
or three hours to have done by hand. 1t is
called Shaw & Clarks Peerless. and is on ex-
hibition just now III Ruble's conner. II 1t
shall prove rs much Of a success as IL is claim
ed 10 be. we congratulate the ladies, and hope
they'n never more seold on wash days.

larger, in many cases. than they are obliged to
pay there for a years rent, they can secure
farms Of their own, and where, under any cir

DIDN'T CATCH HTM.-Messrs. Z. Goddard
and j. L. Butler, who were in pursuit of the
thief who stole Mr.. Edmiston's horse at the
time of our last writing, returned Friday
without the man. They traced him as far as
Lawrence, where no further information could
be obtained of him. These gentlemen and L.
G. Anderson, who accompanied them, showed
commendable pluck IN their five days chase,
and no men In this county could have done
more to get the horse and thief. The man who
stole the horse was doubtless an old hand at
the business, and Is very likely the same who
stole horse frem Mr.. Isaac Brown, early in
the summer. People will have to look out for
such chaps hereafter, for they are becoming
