A Lie Exploded.

''Messrs West & Dana, owners of saw
mill, and dealers in lumber, on Wednesday
last discharged two men who had firmness
enough to vote the Democratic ticket. It is
pity that slavery is abolished for as negro driv-
ers they would be invaluable"
The above specimen of Winners faculty
to be untruthf1l, appeared in the Courier the
week after the election, but escaped our no.
tice To those acquainted with the gentle
men named it is scarcely necessary to make
denial, but the cause of truth demands an ex-
posure of the facts.
One person alone was discharged, and he
for no political reason whatever. He
had injured his hand several weeks
before and could not work,
but his place was kept for bim until he was
able to go to work agsiu. A few days after,
he claimed that he had to go away, end OBJ
tanned leave, but instead of going away, re-
manned about town. After tho elec ion he re-
turned to work, when he was told ne was no
longer needed. He wss not spoken TO by bis
employers on the subject of politics, and his
discharge had nothing whatever to do with his
manner of voting.
Other persons in their employ voted the
Democratic ticket, were never asked to vote
otherwise, and still remain at work for them.
This fact alone is evidence sufficient that poll
tics had nothing to do with the discharge Of
the persoz: -essSSzzTeJi 10. West & Dana are not
mel. Of that character. The community
know them as upright, worthy cit izens, and it
would require weightier testimony than the
unfOunded assertions of the editor of the Co,r-
icr to awaken even doubt of their upright
ness

A SINGULAR HORSE DISEASE has
made its appearance in New York,
Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Boston and other places. In Boston
and Rochester the street railway
companies have had to suspend op-
erations because of the almost uni
versal prevalence of the disease. It
appears to be spreading westward,
and as it may reach this locality,
we give brief history of its nature,
with the manner of treatment.
1t first appeared at Toronto, Cana
da, and prevailed to an alarming ex-
tent. Thence it spread until it
made its appearance in New York.
The disease is called by veterinary
surgeons EptzoOtjc Influenza, and
when properly threated in season, is
not necessarily fatal. The horse
when attacked should have rest,
warmth, dryness and soft food, and
be closely stabbed in wet or damp
weather.
The early symptoms of the dis
ease ore a light hacking cough, gen.
eral dulness, indisposition to move,
cold ears and legs, with a watery
discharge from the nose. AS the
disease progresses the nasal men,
brane becomes highly colored, and
the discharge becomes greenish or
yellow, aad the pulse more rapid.
The throat also becomes sore and
troublesome.
A celebrated vetinary surgeon of st. Gath
arines, Canada, has made valuable suggestions
for the treatment of horses suffering from the
epidemic. He advises that the stables be well
ventilated, the horses blanketed, and cloride of
lime sprinkled through the stable every morn
ing. The nostrils should be sponged out two
or three times day, as the mucous adheres
thereto. The food should consist of bran with
a little oats, and moderate quantity of hay.
If the bowels are costive, a half-pint of raw
Iinseed oil may be given; but it is probable
that the mash will cause sufficient relaxation.
He makes the following prescriptions:
PRESCRIPTION MOL.
Linseed oil, IL or; turpentine, l I-2 o.; Eq-
uor ammonia fort, o.; Mix all together in a
feur-ounce bottle aud apply to the throat, if
you think it necessary to do so.
PRESCRIPTION NO. 2.
Nitrate potash, IL o.; tartarized suti-
mony, / l-2 o.; digitalis, 1-2 o.; Pulverize
all together and make twelve powders; give
one morning and night. P. S-if they are
not very bad you might omit the last ingredi-
ent, namely, digitalis.
Prescription No. ? should Re given every
morning and evening. If the throat should
be sore-which can be ascertained by preas-
sure of the hand upon the larynx-about two
table-spoonfuls of Prescription No. should
be rubbed in.

The Great Campaign Work.-We
have just received from Messrs. E. Hannaford
& Co., Cincinnati, copy of their Campaign
Chart for 1872" It contains valuable informa-
tion, showing at a glance, not only the politi-
cal, but also the economic history of the coun-
try for the past fifty years. In addition to the
statistics, ETC., OF political character, which
are exceedingly full and complete, this n~ltuns
in parUo contains a tabular exhibit of the
population of the u. s., by States, at each
census, from 1890 to 1870; the comparative
rank of the several States at each census-a
most interesting and instructive feature; the
leading productions of agriculture in each
State and Territory from the last census, CIV
ing the amount of over twenty of the principal
products of each State, together with much
other interesting agricultural statistics, accord
ing to the census returns Of 1870 From the
foregoing items, If will be seen that the chart,
besides serving q hundred useful purposes
during the campaign, is permanently valalable,
1t is handsomely printed, colored, and var
nished, and mounted, msp-like, on rollers,
forming quite an ornament to any room or
Office, and ought to sell fast everywhere.
1t is sold through agents, and published by
E. Hannaford & Co., Cincinnati, to whom ap-
plicatiOns for agency should be addressed.

Tweed and his confederates. Garvey, the
Reat ''plastering" man, whose bills and steal
ings amounted to hundreds of thousands of
dollars for work never performed for the city,
is in the same boat with Tweed, Oakley Hall,
Ingersol, and Connolly, and his bills, it ap-
pears, were offered in evidence before the
Grand Jury, and developments made which
go to show that outside parties were having
their houses plastered and frescosd at the ex-
pense of the Taxpayers of New York.
bench warrant is out for Tweed, but he has
managed thus far to avoid arrest. When these
Tammanyites are brought to trial there will
be made some astounding revelations of the
manner in which the Sachems stole from the
City Treasury millions of dollars while they
had control of its receipts and managed the
expenditures of the corporation.
The exodus of the people from Alsace and
Lorraine has reached proportions of general
stampede. Not less than thirty thousand of
the refugees are said to have landed in this
country since the first of September. Six hun
dred passed through Cleveland in one colony
three or four days since,. It is said that only
seventeen men remain in Metz subject to mill
tary duty. Between the 18th and Both of Sep
tember eighteen thousand people left the his
toric city. In otserman, an Alsatian town of
eight thousand people when Napoleon surren-
dered at Sedan, only three persons remain.
These people have abandoned their property
or sold it for the merest trihe, preferring to
begin life anew with what they could carry
