MOULD YOU CURE THAT DISTRESSING
w Cough and bring back that healthy vigor
till lately planted in your cheek? If you would,
do not delay, for ere you are aware it will be too
late
Aliens Lung Balsam is your hope; it has been
tried by thousands such as you, who have been
cured; many in their gratitude have lent their
names to us that suffering humanity can read
their evidence and believe. Don't experiment
with new and untried mixtures, you cannot af-
ford L. but try at once this invaluable article 1t
can be found in any Drug Store and at most gem
eral stores. 1t is warranted to break up the most
troublesome Cough in a few hours if not of too
long standing. 1t is warranted to give entire sa-
tisfactiOn in all cases OF Lung and Throat diff
What the Doctors Say:
AMOS WOoLLEY, NJ. D., of KOsciusko county,
Indiana, says "FOr three years past have used
ALIENS LUNG BALsAM extensively in nv prae-
tice and am satisfied there is no better medicine
for lung diseases in USE" ..-
ISAAC A. DORIAN. M. D., of Logan county
Ohio, says: "ALLEN's LUNG BALsAM not only
sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction in eve
~ case within my knowledge. Having cOnfd-
ence in it, and knowing that it possesses valu-
able medicinal properties, freely use it in my
daily practice, and with unbOunded success. As
an expectOrant ii is most certainly ahead of any
preparation have ever yet known"
NATHANIEL HARRIS, NJ. D., of Middlebury,
Vermont says: al have no doubt it will soon be-
come classical remedial agent for the cure of
all diseases of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and
the Lungs"
physicians do not recommends medicine which
has no merit; what they say about
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM,
Can be taken as a fact. Let all afflicted test it
at once.

NOTHING pays a newspaper and
editor more poorly than q political
campaign. 1t is all work and no
pay, and very disagreeablc work at
that. 80,
The foregoing paragraph we find
going the rounds credited to various
papers. The call work and no pay"
is very nearly true.
AS to its being livery disagreeable
work" that "depends.' If one sus-
tains principles in which he does
not believe, maligns men without
cause and in general does the dirty
work which is too often expected Of
a partisan press, we should say it
would be "disagreeablc work. !"
But if one only uphvlds the princi-
pies and men approved by his judg-
lnent; condemns only where there if
plain reason for doing it, and keeps
himself unspottcd from the petty
meanncsses that disgrace too many
political campaigns, then the work
itself is not SO very disagrceable,
albeit it is not very well paid in cur
rent notes ofthc country. Whether
an editors work is noble or ignoblc
depends on himself alone.-BeNe

From the Titusvillc Press.

From the Titusvillc Press.
A young man from an eastern
city who had been visiting rural
friends in this vicinity, after seeing
farmer thresh ont a "fooring" of
oats the other morning, asked and
received permission to swing the
fail few minutes, after assuring
the agricultarist that he was 'per-
fcctly familiar with the art of
thrcshing." Expectoring upon his
hands, the young man went at the
oats, but at the first pass Knocked
the horn off a new mich COW that
was leisurely chewing her cud in a
ncighboring stall. Tie second
swing cavcd in tire head of the
farmer, who thought he was safe
enough as long as he roasted on the
top Of the tanning mill in the end of
the barn, but without discovering
the havoc he was making, the city
artist kept at his labors; the third
blow fell upon the oats, the fourth
killed setting hen in Manager
close by, and the fifth pass of the
deadly weapon was the best of all
for it came around the young man
boomerang fashion, and knocked
him down, and thus put a stop to
the work of slaughter. The mere
fact that the city 'thrcshcr" return
ed to consciousness an hour before
the farmer did allowed the former
to get several miles out of town be-
fore his efforts at threshing we're
discovered by his neighbors.

A FEW weeks since it was chang
ed that Jay Gould was q defaulter
to The. Erie Railroad in other
words, stole its funds while an Off
Ger Of the company = to the amount
Of $9,0OO,OOo, and Watson, Presi-
dent of the company, instituted pro-
ceedings for its recovery. Gould,
last week, came forward and refun-
ded the greater part Of the sum in
money, stocks, bonds and real cs-
tate, thus virtually admitting the
larceny. The Tribune styles the
transaction on the part Of Gould as
ga thrifty rcmorsc," as the arch
thief owns S2O,OOO,OOO. in Erie
shares, which are expect ted to APP
preciate in consequence of the un-
expected addition to the assets of
the company. Gould has had the
use Of the s9,0Oo,OOo for several
years, has. been lucky in his specu-
latioAs, and can afford to compton,
Use by returning about thrce-fourths
Of the "swag." The acceptance of
it by the company is denounced in
some quarters as the compromising
of a fclony-which it is, nothing
less.
