Or TEE coRNER.-A good story never
loses by oft repeating, unless it be attempted
by some one who can't tell tale as it should
be told. The narrative now repeated is one
that can bear being eliminated time and
again, without ever wearing out, and it is,
that on the corner, under the Hotel, there
dwells man who keeps a variety of goods
not exceeded by any one, and which are
sold as cheap as the cheapest. His name is
n. Foot, and the public are invited to call
at the corner and interview the pleasant pro-
prietor and buy some Of his goods. No one
will repent Of it.
MENISGETIs.-We regret TO note the fact
that this disease, Or something like it, pre-.
walls in our county, and from which num-
Der Of deaths have occurred. The congcs-
ton, We learn, is generally confined to the
spinal column. The primary cause OF its
prevalence is doubtless unknown. 1t is no,
confined to this section, FOR We hear of
cases elsewhere. Until specific remedials
are discovered, people should be as pru-
dent as they can in regard to the laws of
health. Exposure to the extremes Of heat
and cold, ntemperance in diet, &C., should
be avoided, as these errors are fruitful
sources of congestion. As the disease pre-
sen,s itself with chill it is suggested that
the system be put under the influence OF
quinine as preventive.
1t is believed that the disease will gene.
rally yield - prompt aud careful medical
treatment.
As near as can be ascertained, about hf.
teen or twenty coored people have died
here during the past week, and two whites.
A NOVEL CURE FOR DYSPEPsIA.-One of
our Liberty Hall friendly admirers, and by
the way, good subscriber, has for 4 long
time been exercised in mind as to our dis
peptic symptoms, and in working ont
problem for cure has enally hit upon novel
and interesting remedy, and ono which would
be very pleasant to take, but for one reason.
He says that in scope of 81 miles there are
no less than 81 widows, and only two bach
elors, and that both of the latter are afraid
of widows-perhaps they've read Pickwick-
consequently the ladies are forlorn. Well,
10 make long story short, he says if wewill
make circum bendibus in and through that
scope Of twenty-seven miloS, and visit each
one of the thisty-sevcn widows, and take
on successfully with the entire number, in
Our usual summer travel style, he will war
rant cure and no pay. Well. now for the
reason "vy, Wy" as the sacetious DR.. Saul,
the world-renowncd, and late of Warren &
Co.'S unprecedented, happily expresses it;
We would try the cure if there were thirty
times thirty-seven Of those interesting wild
ows, for if there are any of the human
species we like above others it is widows,
from the dashing grass to the double wove
weed xind. In fact, We dote on them. But
the mud is an iusuperable objection TO a
gaily round of that kind now. Guess we
can't try it just now. but when the spring
time cones, and the grass is green again,
when the gentle zepbyrs blow, and the roads
are smooth and dry, our friend may look
out for the grey horse and his widow-admir-
ing rider.
