A REMEDY FOR THE HEADACHE.-Dr.
Warburton Begbie (Ednburg Medical
Journal advocates the use of turpentine
in the severe headache to which nervous
and hysterical women are subject There
is, moreover" he says, " anOther class of
sufferers from headache, and this is conf
posed of both sexes, who may be relieved
by turpentine, L refer to the frontal head
ache, which is most apt to occur after pro-
Ionged mental effort, but may likewise be
induced by unduly sustained physical ex-
ertion-what may be styled the headache
of fatigued brain. a cup of very strong
tea often relieves this form of headache,
but this remedy with not few is per-
ilous, for bringing relief from pain, it may
produce general restlessness, and-worst of
all-banish sleep. Turpentine in doses OF
twenty or thirty minims, given at inter
walls of an hour or two, will not only re-
move the headache, but produce in won
derful manner that soothing influence to
which reference has alrady been made.

Kicking Cows,

y correspondent of the Country Gcnac-
man gives the following as a successful
method of curing cows from kicking, He
says:
"a few years ago had considerable ex-
perience with kicking cows, and by far the
best remedy out of quite number that L
tried, was the strap or surcingle drawn
tightly around the cow just in front of the
hips and close to the udder. Tighten it
up till she does not attempt to kick. l
never knew it to fail; you can gradually
loosen it until it will be sufficient to lay it
OIL her back. But be cautious and do not
loosen or leave it off until she makes no
effort to kick with it tight or on. Kick
she cannot with the strap tight.

The printer was not forgotten on this
pleasant occasion. The next evening
after the marriage a large number OF
the friends of the couple assembled at
the residence of the parents of the groom
and were Toasted at a table that literally
groaned under its burden of roast tur-
key, nice meats, cakes, confectioneries,
&C., after which the Eaton Band treated
the guests to some fine music, and the

went and took one. We trust that the

less happy than the n that saw them

Without q Newspaner.

Nothing presents a sadder common
tary upon the present unhealthy con-
dition of u loved and once prospe-
rous county than the large number
of families, both in town and country,
but more especially in the latter, that
subscribe to no paper OF any kind.
Hundreds and thousands of families
are thus growing up in utter ignorance
of what is transporting in the world
around them, and ignorant of the
mighty events of the day. But who
can tell the vast amount of injury that
is being inflicted upon the rising gen.
eration-these who are to take our
places in the busy world at no distant
day-growing up without any knowl-
edge of the present or any study of
the past, this ignorance, too, being
linbued into them by the action of
those who should and doubtless do
know better, did they only think of
the injurious effects of their insane
course. Let the head of every family
think of this, and place in the hands
of those for whom he is responsible
the means of acquiring some knowl-
edge of the moving panorama in which
we enact our different parts.

SANDER.

Yes, you pass it along whether you
believe it OF not and that one sided
whisper against the character ola vir-
tuous female or an honorable man,
you don't believe it, but you will use
your influence to bear up false report
and pass it into the current. Strange
creatures are men and woman. How
many regulations have been lost by
surmise. How many hearts have been
bled by whispers. How many benev-
client deeds have been chilled by the
shrug of a shoulder. How many indi-
viduals have been Stunned by gentle
mysterious hint. How many chaste
bosoms have been wrung with grief
by a single nod. How many graves
have been dug by false reports. Yet
you will keep it above water by the
wag of your tongue, when you might
sink it forever. Destroy the passion
for telling. Lisp not a word that will
injure the character of another and as
far as you are concerned, the SANDER
will die.

Be Kind 70 The Poor.

Az, be kind to thanh Ye who have
never felt the bitter pangs of hunger,
who have never passed through drea-
ry winter with SCATTERING teeth and
limbs palsied with cold, who have ne

of sleep, to shut out for a brief season
the frost whose icy breath struck a
cSif5l to your heart, and who have ne
yer been q prey to the canker worm
of grief and misery. which all these
,sufferings entail, we pray you, be
kind to the poorI
Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessings of prosperity which Heaven
has showered upon you, will yield
Soa no true happiness, if others are

mercy, and enhance the efficacy of
prayer by charity and kindness. A

hereafterre reap his fate, and view amidst
Thy torment the poor man on Abra-
hams bosom. Be kind to the poor
Earth has more sorrow than the heart
cas, contain, more of suffering than
frail nature can bear. The widow left
to toll and struggle alone amidst the
desolation of bereavement appeals III
tones more eloquent than words, for
your sympathies and aid. The help
less orphan, brought into the world,
and left alone by the relentless hand
ofdeath claims your guardianship and

tinuance of the mercies and blessing
of Heaven, so in this wise be merciful
TO others then shall the gates of plen-

A Ternperance Lecture,

Here is an article which we clip
from an exchange and publish for the
benefit Of some of u very rampant
and prosecuting temperance advocates,
and advise them to read it calmly and
soberly. We believe in temperance
and have always advocated tin re-
ligion, in politics and in drink-but
always held that persecution and per-
sonal abuse will never bring about q
reform OF correct an evil, of any kind.
"SmelIing committees" might have ar
rested, prosecuted, fined and imprison-
ed the subject of this notice for years,
and he would have still been the poor
drunken anddebauched wretch, still
slave to his insidious destroyer. Kind
ness will much quicker win a man
from his faults, than abuse and perse-
cution, and the sooner a majority of
our temperance reformers get this idea
engrafted into their fanatical brains,
the sooner will those who have no
control owe their cravings, fer this
curse of so many of our brightest in
t~ellects, be snatched from the fearful
end that awaits them. Here is the
lectures:
1t has come to our notice, says the
Jersey City "Standard," in spite of
anything to the contrary, that all men
engaged in the hotel or liquor selling
business are not to be placed in the
category of "of take your money and
then kick you out" We happen to
know of a person engaged i'll that bus
mess, seeing a man some few months
ago-who he had known to be a most
inveterate drunkard for some eighteen
years-in his usual state of intoXica-
ton, made a prop sition to the effect
that if he,-Would abstain from
drinking anything Intoxicating fortke
space of six months, he would make
him q present of a good overcoat for
the winter he was taken at his word,
and only yesterday the man, true to
his word, called on his benefactor and
was taken to a clothing store and pre-
sented with a $25 overcoat. How is
this for a temperance lecture? The
nov sober man, however, said that he
would eve again be found under tie
influence ofliquor, and expressed his
heartfelt thanks to his friend, saying
he had every reason to believe that
his life and soul had been saved by
the kind action of his friend. The
man was overtaken by kindness, and
although never signing any pledge,
has proved himselftrue, and all throu'
the good feeling of a tavern keeper.

set in, we hope our citizens all will

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE, for November is on
our table, ahead OF all others. It is an unusually
good number, even for this 6%rst-class lady's book.

Illustration of one of the best stories we have read
for months. A prominent feature Cfthis Magazine
is its copyright NOvelettes, two of which appear in
this number, "Lindsav's Luck by Fanny IIodg-
son, and Bought with A Price," by Mrs. Ann S.
stephens, both very far superior to the continued
stories to be found in magazines generally. But,
as q contemporary says, the stories, the fashions, the
the patterns, in short, everything in Pc
terson is the best of its kind, The price of this
Magazine, too, is another thing in its favor. 1t is
but Two Dollars A Year. The Prospectus for 1875
is published with this number, and we find that
the prices to Clubs are astonishingly low; viz,
three copies for $3.50, with 2 superb MeZzotint dc
inches by 30), "Christ Weeping over Jerusalem"
to the person getting up the club; or six copies for
5000, and a copy of the Magazine for 1878 as a pre-
MUM to the person getting up the club; or eight
copies for Sl2.00. and both an extra copy and the
club. For large clubs the prices are even lower, a
choice of six splendid premium enSravings, for
framing, is given for fifty cents extra, to subscrib-

Some "poic" has been spreading
himself on Mr.. Weiss, Engineer of
our Steam Fire Engine, as the follow
ing will prove, which was picked up
OH. the street a few days ago and hand
ed to us:
There is a mar lives in our town.
His name is Daddy Weiss,
he talks n heap, out what is strange,
He tells the truth, ana meyer lies.
Now Daddy Weiss is very old,
Two hundred years or more,
And yet lie calculates to live,
AtieaSt another score!
He is the Engineer that runs,
His Engine DER the dirt,
And always manages to give,
A most tremendous SQUIRT"
But this is not so very strange.
Aspeople might suppose:
For he always does the thing up best,
When he ''gets it up his nose!"

campaign, having SO much confidence
in the honesty and good sense of the
people of this country, and confident
that they would prefer Horace Gree

four years, we offered the Eaton

and pay 50 for it when Honest Horace
was elected. Only THREE had sand"

epitaph:


A "muss" occurred at the Saloon of
John Frazier, on Monday evening
last. The cause thereof we know not,
but suppose "tangle-leg" had some
thing to do with it. The war of fish
market slang was outrageous.
Our farmer readers, having occa-
sion to visit town, need have no fear
of exposing their teams to the horse
disease by so doing. as their animals
are fully as liable to contract the
plague i'll their stables at home, as On
our streets.
This place was eve SO dull at this
time of the year before. Our town
has always been noted for its life and
stir; but now every thing seems pros
trate Court being in session and tax
paying times, do not seem to give our
streets a prosperous appearance.
Some of the Radical journals, not
thinking that the people are burthen-
ed enough with taxation, want to raise
the salaries OF the officials at Wash
ington. This is Radicalism certainly.
Its whole object is to crush the people
and establish an a~ristocracy.
If you have aught against a man out
with it. Never stab in the dark-do
not crawl from bud to blossom-fron
blossom to fruit of life, like a snake
in the grass, making others shudder
at your approach and leaving a track
of Shiny scandal to make your route
to death.
"Boston sufferers" are already in
Testing western towns and cities
They appear in rags and large guam
titles and don't mind taking your cold
victuals or your pocket book. They
are blessed with glass eyes, wooden
legs, alabaster noses and other ac-
complishments, and are all direct from
the "Boston fire."
When we see men gathering up
riches, grinding the face of the poor,
refusing to contribute to the aid of
suffering humanity or the spread of
the gospel and forgetting to do unto
others as they would that others should
do unto them, we think of the rich
man, who said soul, thou hast much
goods laid up, take thine ease, but
God said unto him, thou fool, this
night thy soul shall be required of
thee, hen whose shall all these goods
be? Remember man, you who are
grasping after the almighty dollar,
forgetful of your duty to your fellow
mortal, that naked you came into the
world and naked you shall go out of
it! After death you will have no
more than the poorest of earth's crca-
lures! What a reflection for grasping
wealth.
There is no necessity whatever for
u citizens to go abroad fer that
which they can easily obtain at home.
Dry goods, provisions, millinery,
hardware, and household furnishing
goods of every description can be OBJ
tanned at home upon as liberal terms
az could be had elsewhere. Patronize
then, the business men among whom
you reside; they deserve your patro-
mage, for they substantially aid in
building up and identifying our town.
Her merchants and business men have
ungrudgingly used their means in ex-
tending their accommodations i'll ca
tering for the public taste, and as the
membership of every community is
held together by the law of matual
independence, it is but fair and just
to give the business men and mer-
chants of your own locality the pref
erence.
