Mean as Pusley.-The complaint is
prevalent. among the dear believers in leap
year rights and privileges, that their atten4
tons and proposals are not considered with
proper solemnity and sentiment, by the heart
less males whom some of them desire to make
happy. For instance, Mary Ann Clippings,
has had hankering after the smiles of Per-
rygreen Winkle, for many weary month,
but, he, ungrateful wretch, failed to reciproc-
ate, and the event of leap year endows her
with full permission to capture him if she can
Mary Ann takes him to parties, calls twice
week, and by various articles endeavors to
drag him into sentiment, but the incorrigible
wretch understands her to mean everything
butwhat she really intends to express. He in
teTupts her in the middle of pathetic sem
climax, that loves labor is all lost for the
evening. For instance, she essays to strike a
kneeling altitude, when the awkward goose
pretends to believe she is fainting, and emp
ties the entire contents OF a work basket over
her, and implores her to be revived. Shetakes
sea t beside him, and is in the act of putting
her arm lovingly around his neck, when the
blind idiot assures her that his throat is not
sore, and dress sleeve bandages are always un-
comfortable. Mary Ann, after much delibera-
ton, coins very expressive sentence, which
she commences, "My dear, do you really like
=" "Buckwheat cakes and syrup,-you bel" /"
he adds, interrupting her in the middle of her
sentimental interrogation. and finishing it for
her in most tormenting manner. Thus do
the PerTygreens continually torment the Mary
AIMS, until patience is wholly exhausted and
the complaint becomes general. OF course ii
is mean, and the heartless Yretches ought to
be ashamed of such conduct.

The Historv of a National RENE,

The History of a National Remedy
Here is the history of the most celebrated
tonic of the age in nutshell. In 1860 it was
announced that a certain combination of veg
etable ingredients, with pure difusive stim-
ulant, was working wonders in the cure of
chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver COM
plant, periodical fevers, rheumatism and con-
stitutional weakness. The uupreteDding name
given to the specific was PLANTATION BIT
TIERS. The statement attracted the attention
of inyalds everywhere. The new remedy re-
ceived fair trial, and the results more than
confirmed all that had been said in its praise.
Thenceforward it was grand success. The
business columns of the press spread the glori-
Gus news far and wide, and the martyrs to in
digestion, biliousness, physical prostration and
premature decay, as if by common consent,
sought relief from the new vegetable restora-
tive. They found t0tat they sought. From
that time to the present the increase is the de-
mand for Plantation Bitters has been one oi
the most striking events in this age.

Fire at Findlay.-on Wednesday morn
ing last after the arrival of the train on the
L. E. & L. Railway, fire was discovered in
the engine house, which spread rapidly and
speedily consumed the building. The wind
being very high, the sparks were carried to a
considerable distance, and set fire to a stable
in which were several horses. One of the
horses was gotten out, but the other persisted.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
sparks from the locomotive, and at one time it
threatened to do great damage, as several
other buildings were on fire, but the prompt
arrival of the steamer, and the well directed
efforts of the firemen, subdued the hames,wi
out much material damage beyond what we
have noted. The engine house was but tenn
porary structure, and the loss on it was but
slight.

Amputation.-On Monday afternoon, Mr.
Joseph Chapman Of this city, had his left
limb amputated just above ankle. He had
been suffering for long time with carries Of
the ankle, which rendered amputation neces-
sarg to save his life. The operation was per-
formed by Drs. J. B. Rice and Stilwell. Mr..
Chapman was much reduced in strength by
long and severe suffering, but endured the
operation much better than was expected, and
it is thought he will now recover.
