Standard Medicines.

Something over year ago a,mysterious word
| was placarded on tho Streets. Everywhere II
met the eye--only one word, but unknown
then-'Symphyx." 1t is now, however, known
to thousands as q sovereign specific for coughs,
colds, and all lung diseases. During the last
twelve months the enterprising projectors of
the Old Drug Store, Messrs. Chamberlain 6
Albes, have sold upwards Of FIVE thousand bot
ties of this medicine, and in every case known
it has given entire satisfaction.
These gentlemen are also manufacturing two
other standard medicines, whose efficacy has
been thoroughly tested -''Mrs. Winslow's cele-
brated Worm Candy" Of which they sell one
hundred gross year, and II \ L Bitters."
They have only been manufacturing the last
named article about three months, and within
that time have sold upwards of fifteen hundred
bottles about Eve hundred per month.
They have also distributed during the season

Esna Life INSURANCE Company.
II Life InsuraIlce was d rnysterY of fnanee,

If Life Insurance was mystery of finance, a
speculation, a lottery, venture, substitute
for industry and frugality, or in any way a
presumptuous distrust of Divine Providence, a
good man might well shrink from it. But, if it
be founded upon sound principles lift deals not
in uncertainties, but with sober and carefully
ascertained facts, regulated by natural laws and
is as conformable TO scientific truths as is any
ordinary business of the mechanic, the mer-
chant, the farmer--then there can be no just
seruples at life insurance, and it becomes a mat
ter of prudence and thus of duty. Insure your
life with the 1Etna. of Hartford, Conn, and
provide your family with an estate that will
prove certainty to them.

Frighifu, Accident In

On last Friday night Joseph McMurray, o
young rnanswbo lived in the vicinity of DAN
drudge, was thrown from his horse and killed.
During the evening of that day, he had been at
tending the closing exercises of Rev. VIM. Fl.
Lyle's school, at Mount Horeb, point about
FIVE miles southeast from Messy Creek, and
started home with some friends as soon as the
examination was concluded. Although the
night was dark Air. MeM and some of his party
engaged in racing their horses along the road,
and the uproar thus caused SO frightened the
horse of a person. who was riding in advance
that it became unmanageable, and in the ex-
citement stopped and stood directly across the
road. The deceased's horse, while going at full
speed, struck this obstacle, and McMurray was
violently thrown to the ground and his head
fell on some hard substance with such force as
to entirely crush in the skull on the right side
and produce death. He died in O few hours
before the attendance of physicians could be
had-and remained unconscious from the mo-
ment Of the accident All parties were sober.
