The Horse Disease,

The epidemic which prevails all over
the country has made its appearance in
our midst. 1t is better to acknowledge
the fact at once and urge owners of
horses to exercise care and watchfulness
in order to save their animals. The
disease appears to be of mild form,
and begins with nasal discharge, a
swelling of the glands of the throat
and cough. Contrary to its usual rule
the mules have been attacked, some of
the first cases being among them. There
are now in this town and at Lime
Ridge some eighty to hundred cases.
There may be many others between the
two places of which we have not heard.
When the disease makes its appear
ance certain things are absolutely nee
essary. First, stop working the animal;
when in the stable keep the body warm
by clothing; give warm bran mashes
and chilled water apply an exciting
embrocation on the windpi pc, from the
throat 10 the breast; in the early stages
give stimulants but when the disease
advances and the pulse becomes quick
ened, sedative medicines will have tC
be given TO arrest the inilammatory
symptoms. Cathartics and nauseatinl
medicines should not be administered
Bleeding is dangerous and should no
be practlccd.

TERRIBLE.-On Thursday evening a
fire broke out, at the residence of Mich
acl Sanders, in East Danville, from the
explosion of a lamp. The ignited fluid
being scattered, rapidly enveloped the
house in flames. No time was left to
save anything. But Mr.. Sanders being
tax collector, tried to save the papers
and money belonging to the public. For
this purpose he entered the burning
building; but alas, he did not return.
Overcome by the devOuring element he
sank down into the fire and was burned
to crisp. A portion Of his body was
afterwards recovered. An adjoining
house was also consumed. This terrible
CO lamity cast gloom over the minds
of all, for all knew and respected Mr..
Sanders, as an honest upright man, and
as Christian. God comfort the stricken
heart of the disconsolate widow, so
suddenly and so awfully bereft of the
companion, with whom she journeyed
through life, from youth to old age

SPECIAL NOTICES.

THE WARSING HAS BEEN HEEDED-Slnce the
exposure OF the attempts made by certain uu-
scrupulous local dealers. TO palm of their coarse
aStringents, made from cheap and impure ms .
terials in the place OF the great national tonic,
Hostetter's stomach Bitters, public opinion has
set strongly against these empires and their
pIenarations. Their ocupation is gone. or soon
will be. When the light is let into deception IL
soon willis down. Persons who trife with their
oW Al health, by using unknown preparations,
with no guarantee to sustain them, when an es-
'rblished specific, proven by twenty years ex'
perience, to be exactly what II is claimed - be.
Is within The reach. are sure to repent their
temerity. Many have done so in this instance,
but 1t is hoped that the truth plainly spoken has
arrested the evil. In the meantime the demand
for the leading protective and restorative medi-
cine OF America was never so greatas IL has been
this season. FROM the fever and ague districts
OF the west southwest and south, IL Is literally
overwhelming, and II may be said of the advices
from all parts OF the country of the cures 1t is ef
iecting IN dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and
chrome constipation, that their name Is le-
gion." Everywhere the sick and feeble seem 10
have realized the importance of holding last
that which is good" and OF avoiding what IL
spurious and dangerous"
The numerous "Bitters, :" under various names
which mercenary dealers endeavor TO substitute
for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are procurable
In bottles only, and never sold in bulk.

AN ESSENTIAL OF LovELINEsS.-To be entire
ly beautiful the hair should be abundant and
lustrous This is absolutely essential to com
plete loveliness. The most regular features, the
most brilliant complexion and pearliest teeth
fail of their due effect if the hair be thin dry, or
harsh On the contrary the paineSt face ifit be but
surmounted by luXuriant and silken tresses is
apt to impress the beholdcr with a sense of ac-
tual beauty. That crOwnlng ornament of her
sex, is happily, within the reach of lovely woman,
ana being MS discriminating as she is lovely she
long ago discovered that Lyons Katharion was
for the Hair ever enjoyed tithe ofits populari-
ty, and no wonder, since II produces such grati-
flying results. Applied to the waste and barren
places of the scalp. it fructifies and enrches
them with new and ample growth. 1t Is not,
of course, pretended that 1t will do this If the
capacity for reproduct ion is extinct, but so long
it remains that wonderful rehabtant will
assuredly propagate the germ of the hair into
life and activity.

DR.. j. II. SCHEECK,
Respected Sir-I take pleasure in awarding to
you this certificate OF the wonderful cure your
Pulmonic Syrup and Sea Weed Tonic produced.
Ny throat and bronchial tubes were so highly
inlamed that it was almost impossible for me to

cines raised him from almost death after all 9TH

full confidence in the virtue OF your remedies,
strongly recommended me TO try them. l did
so. and In one week from the time commenced
taking them my throat underwent a very great

OUR town clock Is the most comical
bit of machinery that we know of.
The time it keeps is peculiarly its own,
not governed by any railroad or other
hours, and It's changes from fast to slow
are as amusing as the transformations
in pantomime. The fact that 1t Is
fifteen or twenty minutes fast one day
is no criterion that it will not be that
much slow tho next.

entirely done away with.
The above choice collection of errors
we clip from the Republican of last
week. In an article of eight lines there
are just eight mistakes, which we have
italicized. If Bcckley docs not look
little more sharply after his proof
reading his paper will scarcely be a safe
ono to place in the hands of children

MANY persons are troubled in ac.

phenomena the Northern Lights. II is
rather difficult matter to explain and
we are glad to be able to lay before our
readers a simple yet comprehensive
definition of the whole matter, to this
effect;
"The molecules of which the aurora
is composed are stratified by a peculiar
action of the particles on each other,
causing the waves of vibration to elon.
gate elliptically, and to contract on their
own orbits laterally, producing scin-
tillating coruscation, which is in turn
absorbed and then dispersed"
This we think is as clear GS--mud?

THE MiHoniaa, hidc.bouad journal
of the Radical persuasion, is strongly
opposed to the adoption of the Cumula-
tive system Of voting by the COnstitu
tional Convention and calls upon that
body to resist any attempt to secure it.
The opposition OF the WiNOnian is not
based upon any wait of merit in the
plan but simply and purely because its
most earnest supporter is Democrat.
Such narrow minded prcjudiceis contem'
ptible. We think thatlhe.Cumulative or
any other plan should stand or fall on
its own merits and not because Of its
authors political affiliations.

performed. The average age of the
scholars was about ten years. There was

admission alone prevented pecuniary
