Activity in the Grain Trade.-we ar.
happy to perceive that the grain trade at this
point is largely on the increase. This is as II
should be, for there is no reason why the farm
ers of Wood county should not receive as favor
able inducements to sell their produce here as
at any other place.
As an Indication of what is doing in the pur.
chase Of grain, we have simply to say that The
firm of F. r. MILLER & Co., alone, are averaging
over 900 bushels per day.

they were painfully affecting, have been radically
ton Of the country, that the public scarcely need
TO be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destluc-
tive enemies of cur race. Often, this unseen and
unfet tenant of the organism undermines the con.
sttutiOn and invites the attack of enfeeblng or ia.
tai diseases, without exciting suspicion of its
presence. Again, IL seems to breed Infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its
hdeOus forms, either on the surface or among the
vtals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver or il shows its presence by eruption5
on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part Of
the body. Hence the occasional use of Il bottle
of this SGrsnpdriIG is advisable, even when no
active symptoms Of disease appear. Persons at-
nicted with the following complaints generally

cealed forms, as dyspepsia, DropsY, Heart
Disease, tits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and
and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Yeneredl and Ncrcurial Dts

CURED for subdning these obstinate maladje6 by
any medicine. But long-continued use of this
medicine will cure the complaint. LemcO1hoa

The Secretary of theTreasury thinks
there is too much currency in circula-
ition and that the amont ought to be
curtailed. Do the oppressed and tax
ridden people who find it difficult to
obtain enough money to transact their
business affairs with agree with him.
But this has been the policy of the
Radical party ever since the war clos
ed, and it is a scheme concocted by
them for the robbing of the people for
the benefit of the bondholders. In
1865, 100000, 600 of 5-20 bonds could
be and were purchased for thatamount
in greenbacks and the greenbaeks
could be purchased for about half the
amount i'll gold. Ever since then the
robbers have been busily working to
compel the people TO pay these Radi-
cal favorites twice the amount they
loaned to the Government, and
to accomplish this purpose they
ahave steadily diminished the bulk OF
the currency while the people have
had no exemption or relief from the
heavy burden of taxation under which
they have been borne down. II they
desire another turn of the screw-let
them continue to vote to keep their
oppfessors in power.

GRANT DELIBERATE LAW BREAK
ER.-Mr. George Alfred Townsend
says that great deal OF unnecessary
fuss has been made about President
Grants son, going to Europe. Mr.
Townsend does not seem to be aware
that in order to send his son to Eu-
rope President Grant has deliberately
broken the law of the land, which pro-
vides that mo subaltern officer shall
have any leave of absence until he
shall have served two years with the
company to which he may be attach
ed The fact that a young man goes
to Europe on pleasure excursion is
of little account; but when the Pres
ident of the. United States deliberate
ly breaks the law in order to confer
upon his son a special favor which no
other subaltern officer of the army
would be ollowed TO receive, the mat
ter ceases to be unimportant. If the
President willfully breaks the law,
who can be required to obey it?-N.
