1T has been suggested that our system

written to. This it is said, classifies the

The question of right to reserved seats
at concerts, which has caused a good deal
of annoyance at Syracuse and elsewhere,
was recently decided by one Of the Wash

Boston is in possession of veritable
sea serpent, which was captured in the

it was captured, to elude its pursuers. 1t

I'm the New Jersey Court of Chancery,
at Trenton few days ago, decision was
rendered in a suit which had been brought
to have marriage performed by Justice
Of the Peace set aside by the Court The
allegation was that the two parties to the
suit met at a social gathering and, for the
amusement of the company, were married
by Justice of the Peace who happened
to be present Afterward the defendant
and his family insisted upon the legality of
the marriage and the Justice, upon being
questioned, did not know whether the
parties whom he had joined in wedlock
were in earnest or not The case having
come into Chancery, the Chancellor decid-
ed that a marriage, to be valid, must be
agreed upon by both parties, and he there
fore declared the marriage null and void.

An Autumn Suggestion.

Now, a. heavy fogs arise and searching winds
commence to blow; now, As the human body ex-
hausted like nanimate nature BY the hesss Of slm-
mer, begins to wilt and droop; now ere the n
clement winter makes lite trying onset; NOW IL The
time for q preparatory course Of the beet s3el-
mating medicine in existence, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters.
Fever and Ague is rampant in all parts Of the
country. Quinine, the physicians admit, will not
quel the phase Of the disease which at the present
pervades the entire West II Is well that it N 20,
for the remedy (so-caied) is deadlier than the
malady. But If quinine Is inefficient In intermit-
tent fevers, Hostetter's Btters Is irresistible. 1t
would be safe to make 3 contract, under heavy
penalties, that any given Fever and-Agn Dis
trict should be exempted from the disorder for
any particular time, provided every inhabitant
would take the Bitters according to directions
during the term Of the contract. There has never
been instance in which this sterling invigorant
and antifebrile medicine has failed to ward OF
the complaint when taken duly as protection
against malaria. Hundreds of physicians have
abandoned all the offcinal specifics and now pre-
scribe this harmless vegetable tonic, and nothing
else as preventive and cure for all the forms OF
chiIls and fever. Vigor II the thing most needful
in these cases well as In dyspepsia and nervous
affections and Hostetters Bitters are the safest,
surest. and most wholesome strengthening prepar-
alton that human skill has yet concocted
WE take delight In referring our afficted fr1eBcs
to any drug ffore where that most estimabe meol-
cine, DR.. 5. u. Richardson's sberry Wine Bitters,
can be procured. We advse our iriends to use II,
because we know It's value in curing Fever and
Ague diseases common In the west, and all new
countries. II should be kept at hand In every
family, Sold by medicine d. alers generally.
In numbers there lie safety. 1t was upon this
principle that the formula of JUDsss's MOUNTAIN
HERB Pills was prepared. Dr. Judson, intending
to spend fortune In advertising his pills. submit
ted his recipe to the revision of the most intelii
gent and learned physicians of the age and the
result Is simple but most effcacous medicine
the JupsoNs MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS. They purify
the blood, remove all distractions, cleanse the
skin of all pimples and blotcbes and are perfectly
sure and safe in their operation. The JuDsoS's
MOUNTAIN HERE PILLS cure Biliousness, Female
Irregularities, Headache, and many others OF the
diseases arising from impure blood and derangeo
digestion Use the JUDsoN's MOUNTAIN HERE
Pills, and when you have proved their virtue
recommend them to your friends. They are both
sugar coated and plain. For sale everywhere.
