WEST GOSHEN, Oct. 18th, 1873.

 The citizens of West Goshen are about to offer a nice and free entertainment to the good people of this township. By private subscription they have raised the funds to commence a course of Free Lee lures. The first Lecture will be given on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29th, in the Methodist church at West Goshen, by the Rev. J. Benson Hamilton, of Boston. Mass. Subject: ''Smoke, or Show and Sham The newspapers of Mass, Penn. and Ohio, where this gentleman has lec- tured speak very highly of him and the manner in which he treats his subject, and it is reasonable for Goshen people to ex- pect rare treat and an interesting and instructive address. Turn ont and fill the church.
 'Dyspeptics will be permanently cured, but fast young men, extremely fashion able young ladies, old fogy preachers, in- triguing politicians. spread eagle orators and such like personages would best avoid hearing this lecture if they are afraid of sensible criticism"

Autumn leaves have been remarkably splendid this year-a trip down the She paug anytime within the fortnight past would have convinced the most prosaic soul of that,-but the gathering of au- tumn leaves may prove rather danger ous amusement. Not long since, Mr. Wm. H. Little, of Sheffield, Mass, gath cred some brilliant leaves which turned out to be those of the poison sumach. ''In a short time," says the Berkshire Courier, ''his face and hands began to show eruptions, and became swollen to decidedly disagreeable proportions. The victim of the sumach was rendered near ly helpless, losing his eyesight altogether through the extra addition of cheek, and being compelled to hold his hands out stretched in an unnatural and painful at titude"

 TheabOve paragraph is going the rounds of the State papers. No accident of the kind has occurred. A more important and true statement is that no accident has ever occurred on the Shepaug road, involving the slightest injury to any pas senger, or employee, or to any person crossing or walking upon its track, which cannot be said of any other of the new roads in the state.

Over-Exertion, either of body or mind, produces debility and disease. The usual remedy is to take some stimulant, the effect of which is the same as giving a tired horse the whip instead of oats. The true way is to fortify the system with 8 permanent tonic like the Peruvian Syrup, Ca protoxide of Iron, which gives strength and vigor to the whole system.

Ohio.

The result in Ohio is somewhat differ ent from what the figures of Wednesday last seemed to indicate. Instead of be- ing republican victory it is quite other wise. Our candidate for governor is beat en by small majority-less than thous- and-and the Legislature is Democratic. The Temperance and Liberal Republican | vote will amount to 10000, mostly, of course, withdrawn from our side. On the other hand all the Republican nomi- l nees for state officers, except governor, seem to have been elected, and the enor- nous anti-repubican majority cast in Gin cinnati last fall is reduced to few hun dreds.
 Liberal Republicanlsm was stronger in Ohio than in any other State, last year. This fall, it was snubbed by the straight Democracy and had to run = iarste ticket. If last weeks vote had been a full one, the result would indicate that the Temperance men and Liberal Repub- icans held the balance. of power. But last weeks vote was not full one; and We doubt whether, in any presidential year, there is strength enough even in the combined opposition to beat the Repub- licans of Ohio.
 Warrington of the Springfield Re- publican, makes the following rather sharp hit at the ridiculous way in which our modern Knight Templars are advertis- ed in the newspapers. We are not aware whether 1t is the fault of the Knights or of the papers, but it is certainly very ab- surd:
 Burke said the age of chivalry went out when the French revolution came in. 1.-The could read Boston paper of to-day he would change his mind. There were Sir Knights enough at Ip swich, yesterday, to bring back the French mon archy if they should set about it. Was it my friend the sheriff of Suffolk who figured as Sir John NJ. Clark" and William Sutton, quiet cit izen of Danvers or Peabody, who once beat Dr. Eminent and Honorable Sir Knight William Sutton?" Was the W. E. Deputy Grand Com mander Sir Charles E. Stoll'' the man saw at Worcester, month ago, engaged in the humble occupation of button holng for Butler,--like common henchman, bedad? Is "E. G. Captain General Sir Henry Chickering" our Sunday school friend of Pittsfeld great at the saliva tion of little boys souls and of old politicians post-ofhces? And were the 'Generalissimo" and the Sword Bearer no greater men than these!
