claims for it a superiority over all remedies
ever offered to the Pabc for the safe certain spec

carried out. In great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. Ii is however,
prudent and in every case more certain Of cure If
its use is continued in smaller doses for week
two after the disease has been checked, more es-

Didn't He Swear.

1t is reported that when Dick Oglesby
first heard Of Harper defalcation he swore
grandly. We are sorry to hear that our
senator has taken to cussin again AZ
ter his election to the senate, his friends
claimed that he had sworn off from all his
old habits, and intended from thenceforth
to be as digniied, if not as religions as
Logan, but when he heard that Harper had
tripped, he remembered that he was one
of Logan fuglemen in the senatorial con
test of 1871, and that he probably placed
some of the funds of Uncle Sam where
they would do the most-harm to Richard
Oglesby may, and often does forget his
friends, but he has an Indian memory for
his enemies - and didn't he swear =

Death of John Mayo

1t is with the utmost degree of
sorrow that we are called upon to
announce the death of JOHN MAYO,
a member of the Vinton County
Bar, and who had been a resident
of Macarthur since the summer of
1866. Having been in quite poor
health during the past year, he left
his home and family in this town in
February, last, for the South. His
death occurred at the residence of
his cousin, Mrs. AzzELIE burst, at
Nacogdoches, Texas, on Tuesday,
April 10th, 1873, being q years and
29 days old. He was a son of Hon.
H. B. MAYO, Probate Judge of Vim
ton county, and was, born at Ok
ford, Ohio. He was educated at the
Miami University at that place,
and read law a few years at Hamil-
ton, o., After that he resided about
two years in Columbus, during Il
portion of which time he filed the
position of Deputy Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court of Ohio. In the year
1867, after he had resided here
about one year, he was admitted to
the bar and a few months afterwards
was married to Miss MINERVA A.
BRATToN, daughter of Hon. E. A.
BRATToN, of this town. He COM
menced the practice of law soon af-
ter his admittance to the Bar, and
in a few months found himself en-
gagged in a large and constantly in
creasing practice to which he de-
voted his entire time and attention
until stricken with the disease
which terminated his life. Posses
sing more than average intellectual
vigor, and solely attached to his
profession, he babe fair to attain
distinction. But now, in the midst
of all this he has been cut down,
and removed from among us. 1t
admonishes us of the insecure ten
ure of our lives, and how
"With n~oiseless tread death steals on man.
In the professional relations with
his brethren of the Bar he was gen
erou and courteous. Let his ac-
knowledged virtues and eminent
qualities be remembered and emu
lated by us all.
He leaves a wife, three children
and father, mother, and many rela-
tives and friends to mourn his early
death.

AN actor by the name of Vance,
who played at the Athenieum Hall,
in Columbus, during the early part
of the season, had quite a skirmish
with the editor of the Indianapolis
Sunday Herald, for publishing
personal articles. His first overture
was made in the shape of a blow in
the face with a cane. The editor
t%hereupon seized a chair and made
at the actor, who drew a pistol and
fred, fortunately missing him, He
vas afterwards arrested and held in
two tn :,usand dollars bail, on the
charge of shooting with intent tc
kill.

The New York ARGUs.--The
first number Of the 10th volume is
before us, c. sykes publisher and
proprietor, New York. The editor
among other important and encour-
aging promises says:
"The selected matter for amuse-
ment or instruction will always be
taken from the very best authors,
and will be as far as possible
adapted to passing events or pre-
dominating interests.
The Young Peoples Column it is
desirable to place as soon as posi-
BILE, partially in the hands of the
children of our subscribers. Moth
ers are asked to encourage boys and
girls to write letters, asking or Civ
information, which letters may be
answered by the editors or by other
correspondents. In one of the
most eminent Of the New York
family papers, this plan has been
the means of educating an enthusi-
astic corps of young writer's.
Short paragraphs of condensed
news from home and abroad, per-
sonal and literary gossip, musical
and Grammatical notes and informa-
ton concerning new inventions, or
discoveries bearing upon house
hold matters, will be given.
Concise, clear, and entertaining
reviews of the best current litera-
ture will also be made a speciality,
and as to these | shall bring a long
experience. l may fairly claim for
them all that insures their practical
valne and interest.
In conclusion, I ask that sympa-
thy from my readers which invisi-
IDLY but no less certainly, places us
en- rapport, and which adds that ele-
ment Of Love to Labor which ena-
bles effort and makes Work almost
Worship"
We commend the Argus to the
reading public as very worthty Of
their patronage.

LADIES, now is the time to put
away your furs, if you wish to pre-
serve them from the ravages of
moth during the summer. Sprinkle
them well with snuff and place in
each article a small piece Of gum
camphor, then wrap well in paper
and pack away in a box and you
may rest assured Of the safety of
your furs. This is the way the
Wholesale and retail dealers in the
cities take care Of large stocks OF
furs from one season TO another;
the great point, however, is to put
away early before the moth-fy makes
~ appearance.
