SPECIAL NOTICES.
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 calomel, 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.
It was reserved for later age to unite the sa1i-
tary essences of tonic, aperient and antibilious
roots, barks, and plants with an active stimulant
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debilltated or disordered system. The Gro Fnins
triumph of this effective mode Of concentrating
and applying the virtues Of medicinal vegetables
was achieved in the production Of Hostetter'l
Stomach Bitters. Never before had a perfectly
pure alcoholic stiuulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest species Of tbeegeta-
BE kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years
have ELAPSED since its introduction, has this
seasons in all chimes, the most potent safeguard
against epidemics, a protection against all un-
healthy exhalatiOns that produce debility or beget
disease; as a remedy for intermittent or other ma
larious fevers; an appetizer; as sovereign cure
for dyspepsia; as a general tonic and iuvigorant
as GENTLE painless aperient; as blood depurent
rs a 1eryine; as a cure for bilious affections; as
harmless anodyne; and as the BEST DEFENCE OF
gEALrH under unfavoTable circumstances, such a.
sedeutary pursuits, undue bodily or mental exer-
/ ton, hardship, privation and exposure.

Eight Cars Take Fire at SoIon-Depot
Tank and Freight House Deztroved

On Friday last the village of Solon was
the scene of a very disastrous character. At
nine O'Clock P. NJ, a train of oil cars was stand
ind at the depot, the engineer taking water at
the tank. The fire box had Just been cleaned
out, the ashes and a few Goals emptied out
and water thrown over them to extinguish
whatever sparks Of fire might remain The
cause of the conhagration may be traced to
this act. A few live Goals were among the
ashes, and remained untouched by the water
When the train started the diving embers
were raked over by the cars, became ignited
and communicated the fire to one of the oil
cars which leaked. The drippings from the
car began to blaze, and in an instant the
flames spread rapidly to the two freight houses
and the water tank. The whole air was filed
with a lurid fame that was visible for miles
away. The people of the village gathered to
the spot instantly, and made the most strenu-
Gus and praiseworthy effort to subdue the fire.
About three hundred men labored with un-
remithng energy for two hours in fighting the
flames, and several young men who stood on
neighboring house tops had their bodies blis-
tered through their clothing. Edward Hall
and L. H. Hiokox were on the roof of the feed
store and suffered more severely than the
others. The citizens succeeded in saving the
feed store and Rathburns hotel, but only with
the most extraordinary exertions- Cleveland

The experience of the Findlay Courier
man is sad and mournful He has lost faith
in the professions of his fellow men. Hear how
he talks:
Last week man stepped up to US and said
| he would pay us every cent be owed If he
lived till Saturday night. We presume that
man died. Another said he would pay US in
/ a day OF two, as sure as we were born. Query
Did the man lie, or were we ever born?
Another said he would settle his bill as sure as
shooting. We are led to the conclusion that
shooting is decidedly uncertain. Quite num-
ber said they would see US tomorrow. Those
/ men have been blind ever since or else to-
morrow has not come. One man told US six
months ago that he would pay US as soon as
he got some money. That man would not
| lie, and OF course, has not had a cent since.
But the experience of editors is about the
same, all over. Last year we stopped one
inan's paper who owed six dollars. He was serv
ing the public and we met him while in dis
charge of his duties. He averred that as soon as
he got through and received his pay, he would
make it all right, he would indeed He told
US the same story this spring, and we presume
he is still assessing. Another came all the
way five miles to town to assure us he was all
right, and we need not be afraid. He would
hive some money soon, and would pay, yes he
would. Some time later we ''saw" his money
at distance He was putting it in bank. II
was the last glimpse VIC had Of it. He never
had hatchet and run round hacking cherry
trees, or they would have died without any
body knowing who killed them. Another
would pay us after sheep shearing. His sheer
are longwools, and it takes a great while fol
the wool to mature. Another would pay after
wheat harvest, but his wheat, like the century
plant, is of slow growth, and don't ripen often
Another had poor health, but was improving
He would get round soon and raise some mon
ey and pay. He has had relapse, for al
though he eats hearty and works hard, HI
don't get 'sround" worth cent. We woult
have some hopes of getting even with sucl
folks some day, when an administrator Is ap
pointed, if they had anything to administe
on, but they haven't, and-andi we'll we sym

Improvement in Our commaroe

The statistics Of imports and exports for
the nine months ending March 81, 1870 as
compared with the figures to the same date in
1869, furnished by the Chief of the Bureau of
Statistics, Young, are full of encouragement.
The relative decrease in imports is large, while
the increase in exports is still more marked.
For the nine months ending March 81, 1870,
our imports show an increase of S29, ,76S,5l7
over those Of the same period of 1869, while
our exports have increased SS0, 0,506 800 over
those of 1869. During the same period, the
Teexports of the country have increased nearly
SS,000,000. These figures augur the return to
healthy condition of the commercial business
of the country, and are decidedly more favor
able than we have had for years
Another gratifying and encouraging feature
in the report of Mr.. Young is the increase of
carrying, both Of imports, and exports, by
American vessels. This improved condition
Of our commercial relations is another proof
of the confidence felt in the integrity and wis
dom of Gen. Grants administration

Laroehy,-Last week, while DR.. Beau
grand was absent from his Office, some light
fingered individual entered his room and stole
there from most of the Doctors clothes, among
which were an overcoat and dress coat nearly
new, pants, vest etc. Sheriff Young succeeded
in tracing them out, however, and on Monday
last proceeded to Clyde and arrested a man
named Dimon, upon whose premises the
clothes were found. He was sick in bed al
that time, and could not be moved. Possibly
he will move before he is secured.
