A STORY FOR SoMEs NEWSPAPERS
There is Buddhist fable, with moral
to it, which tells an amusing tale of a
hog who fancies he has inspired a lion
with fear, and challenges him to mortal
combat. The lion fixes that day week
for the duel, and the hog, scampering
back to his herd, proudly declares that
he is going to fight the lion. The an
nouncement is received with terror, and
the crestfallen hog takes the advice of
his friends to roll in dunghill before
encountering his dreadful foe According
ly ON the fateful day our hero presents
himself before the lion armed in panoply
of filth, and the noble beast, scorning to
touch so contemplate foe, says, "If
you want to fight, / leave you the victo-
ry." The story adds, with dry humor,
that the hog told his friends he had
" conquered the lion! p

SEMrNARY.-At the citizens meeting, held at
the Court House last Monday evening, as an
nonunced in our last weeks issue, for the pur-
pose of taking the subject of establishing a
Female Seminary here in Auburn under con-
sideration. w. G. Norton was elected President,
and Robert Gordon was chosen Secretary. The
Chairman explained the object of the meeting,
and the plan proposed for the establishing Of the
Seminary. Some discussion ensued, from
which it appeared that different opinions were
entertained as to the nature and manner of
establishing the institution proposed. Gen.
Hamilton made motion to the effect that a
committee of five gentlemen be appointed by
the chair, to interview the people of the CON-
Munity, and county, as far as possible to find
what mode of establishing the institution they
prefer; to what extent they would assist in the
matter, and report the result of their labors at
meeting of the citizens, to be called by said
committee, The motion was carried, and the
Chair appointed as that committee, A. RackliF
r, Gordon, S. W. Willis, J. A. Ficher and DR..
A. S. Du Bois. On motion the following
named ladies were added to the above committee,
viz; Mrs Reamer, Mrs. Mayer, Mrs. Mitchell,
Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Rackliff At meet
ing OF the committee, they decided to hold an
informal meeting to report progress at the
residence Of Tabb Mitchell, to-day, Saturday,

REPUBLICANS ATLINCOI.N,

LINCOLN, AUGUST l3, 1873.
Mr.. ERALo-The Ring Road meeting here,
last night, was very weak and sckly affair.
The only life evinced was, when Mr. Norton,
having been called upon by the then speaker,
W. B. Lyon, whether he would not make a
Speech and Mr.. Norton replied that at the
proper time he would give his ideas of the issues
in the canvass, and also of him, the then
speaker, ". b. Lyon. At this time there was a
very hesvy applause.
Mr. Fulweiler said that he had been proffered
nomination ca the Independent ticket if he
would keep mis- mouth shut, but he spurned the
offer. Many people here, think that if he and
Lyon and Mansur don't talk any better than
they did here, that all three of them had better
keep their mouths shut if they expect anybody
to vote for them.
Mr.. Mansur arose in his place, and with one
foot on the bench, and his right hand in his
left pocket, said "They say I'm Railroad
man. If anybody says that, I'm here And
nobody said anything, and he didn't say any
thing, and he sat down. And thus the meeting
died natural DEATH probably precipitated by
the epizootic.

The Wear q ml Tear Of Life.

The cares. anxieties and misfortunes of life
have as much to do with shortening it as dis
ease They are in fact the source Of many all
ments and physical disabilities. Nervous weak
ness dyspepsia, affections of the liver, disturb
ances of the bowels, headache hypochondria
and monomania are among these distressing
fruits. 1t is, therefore, of great Importance
that persons whose minds are oppressed with
business responsibilities, or harrassed by family
troubles, or excited dy speculation, or perplexed
by multiplicity of enterprises, or in ANYWAY over
taxed or overworked, should keep up Their
stamina by the daily use of a wholesome tonic.
Thousands of persons thus circumstanced are
enabled to bear up against the difficulties in
which they are involved, and to retain their
strength, health and mental clearness, by the
regular use OF Hostetters Stomach BitteIs.
Diseases which are prone to attack the body
when debilitated and broken down by over
much brain work exhans ing physical labor,
are kept at bay by the resistant power with
which this Incompatible tonic endows the
| nervous system and the vital organs. At this
season when the heat is evaporatlng the ele-
ments of strength from every pore, an invlgor-
| ant is absolutely essential to the safety and
comfort of the public and is required even by
| the more robust if they desire to keep their
| athletic capabil ties in status quo. Hence a
