Cure for Sore Throat.

A c respondent of an Australian
paper gives the following cure for
sore thIoat: It cannot be too gener-
ally known that all forms of sore
throat, whether simple, liberated,
quinsy, diptheria, scarlet-fever, or
otherwise can be either totally cured
or greatly alleviated by simply wear
ing q soft old silk kercbief twice
round the neck high up and next to
the skin, especially if worn at night
when the pain is first felt. Like
Naaman the Syrian, people viii take
shy trouble but the right one, and
fly to gargles, blisters, potions, pills,
etc, and keep at them for q month
at q time; but an old silk square
why it's too absurd, and so they hug
their sore throat, and wonder why 1t
don't get better. Not only does the
silk cure the sore throat, but it pre-
vents q recurrence oft. Twas form
erly a martyr to quinsy, and ulcera-
ted sore throat, and used to have q
whole month of it regularly every
winter, and in spite, too, of all the
usual battery of pills, gargles, etc,
it ran its course till [ tried the silk;
the sore throat then took the hint
and has left me alone ever since as a
bad customer. [ invariably killed 1t
within an hour of any attempt 1t
made upon me; an old sore throat
will take q day to cure. Mind, do
not pretend to say that the silk will
cure fever or any other symptom or
complication that may accompany
sore throat, but this do say, that 1t
will cure and reno all pain aud
difficulty of swallowing in the throat
without the aid of any local rem edy,
or it will do it in spite of them, if you
apply thCm and 1t both-without it;
cure only comes by nature, not by
physic, as far as the sore throat goes,
other remedies are neither good nor
harmless, except as they keep you
from trying the iDfallible silk.

4 Fixed Fact in Pharmacy.

Considering the multitude of diseases
it is amazing that we live; in view of
the countless remedies for them, it Is
wonderful that we die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are realities &;
whereas most of the remedies" are
HuHl6Ugs. One exception to the latter
rule demands the recognition and ap-
proval of the press. Wei refer to Dr.
Joseph Walkers Vinegar Bitters. OF
the Doctor himself, We know nothing /;
but of his medicine we can speak from
observation, for it seems to have found
its way into almost every household.
Probably it IS more extensively used
in this country, as a family remedy,
than any other preparation, although it
has not yet been before the world three
years. Wherever We go we hear Of 1t,
and whenever we hear Of it, the com
ments on its efficacy are enthusiastic.
We have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo, irregu-
larities of the bowels, Indigestion, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, govt, kidney dis
eases, and affections of the lungs, as to
its effects, and the uniform answer has
been, ''Lt as doing me good" BeIiev-
ing that "what everybody says must be
true, y we have no hesitation in admit
ting that Vinegar Bitters is the Great
Medical Success of the present century.

A False Witness Exposed.

Gen. Fitzpatrick recently addressed Dem
ocratic meeting at Glenn's Falls, N. Y. Pre-
Stunning upon the gullibility of his hearers,
he charged ''stolid iusensibility" upon Gen.
Grant as disqualification for the Presidency,
although Greeley has testified that Grant
and his policy deserve the very highest credit, y
and that he would be far better qualified
for his momentous trust in 1872 than he was
IN 1865" Fitzpatrick charged that when
Gen. Rawlings lay on his death-bed, he tel
egraphed to Gen. Grant at Saratoga: "Gen-
eral, | am dying; 1 must see you before /
die. Come here" Grant, said Kilpatrick,
refused to go, preferring rather to attend a
ball at Saratoga. Fitzpatrick dwelt upon this
theme for twenty minutes in his speech
picturing the dying Rawlings last moments
and painting the awful ingratitude of Grant
in not Fastening to his bedside.
Senator Conkling happened to be posted on
this imputed incident in the Presidents life,
and in his speech at Glenn's Falls on the 14th
inst. punctured Kipatrick's gaseous inven-
ton in manner probably to prevent its repe-
tition-that is, showed it, upon his own
knowledge, to be an unvarnished falsehood.
Mr.. Conkling was at Saratoga at the time of
the occurrence ON which this fabrication is
founded, and therefore knew whereof he was
speaking. The President received dispatch

Mopes Webster, the Republican candidate
for Senator from Knox County, has always
hitherto acted with the Democracy.
Knox County has for some years been car

The editor of the Lewiston Journal has

Pike is politically sick. He has not the ap-
pearance of triumph and assurance that used
to stick out of his stumpings. He will find
there are many democrats that don't say
much, who will not follow him in the day of
trial. He is hand and glove with the old
bunker democrats, avoiding in marked
manner his old abolition friends.
A Journal correspondent writes that the
republicans of Phillips hoisted splendid
Grant and Wilson flag on the 18th inst. 1t
was reported that the democratic county
convention held at Pennington on the 18th
would nominate Abner Toothaker, Esq, for
Senator; but he said to some of his friends
that he would stand no such thing from that
party. Mr.. Toothaker assisted in purchasing
and raising the Grant and Wilson flag.

North Carolina

Official returns from eighty-nine of the
ninety-two counties of North Carolina give
Caldwell, Republican, 1880 and Merrimon,
Democrat, 95,l57, giving majority of p
67S. The reported vote in the three remain
ing counties will reduce Caldwelfs majority
TO 2,20S in the State.
A comparison with the vote of 1870 shows an
increase of 1924 in the total vote, OF which
the Republicans have ID, 796, and the Demo-
Gratis 6,12S, leaving the Republicans net
gain of 1868. An examination of the re-
turns by counties shows that the Republicans
gains have been uniform throughout the State,
proving that the white voters OF the western
counties worked with the colored men of the
eastern section to get the State out of the
hands of the Democrats. The vote also
shows that with any thing like fair appor'
tionment, the Republicans would have good
majority in both branches of the Legislature

The Effect Of Greeley's Visit.

AUGUSTA, Aug. 10, 1872.
Mr.. EDYFoR,-It is absolutely true that
Mr. Greeley's visit here did the Republican
cause great good. The sham Liberal conven-
ton which might better be called a mob, the
drunken orgies and street fights of the Chap
paqua farmers supporters, and, above all Mr..
Greeley's cringing servility and apologize
submission to the Democrats, brought many
wavering Republicans to their senses to my
personal knowledge. The size of the crowd
assembled here has been monstrously exag-
gerated, and you may judge of the quality of
the Democratic part of it, when l say that
though I have attended most of the large
gatherings of the people in this State for ten
years past, neuer before saw so much drum
kenness and disorder. The efforts Of the
Liberal Lang and the 1eformer Carleton are
vigorous, but their harvest is SURE to be ut
