Hew TO Cure n Cold.

One of our citizens who had been
troubled with severe cold on the lungs,
effected his recovery IN the following
simple manner: He boiled little bone
set and hoarhound together, and drank
freely of the tea before going to bed.
The next day he took five pills, put one
kind of plaster on his breast, another
under his arms, and still another on his
back. Under advice from an expert
enced old lady he took all these off with
an oyster-knife in the afternoon, and
slapped on mustard paste instead.
His mother put some onion drafts on
his feet, and gave him lump of tar to
swallow. Then he put some hot bricks
to his feet, and went to bed. Next
morning, another old lady came in with
Il bottle of goose-oil, and gave him a
dose of it in a quill, and an aunt ar
rived about the same time with bundle
of sweet-fern which she had made into
a tea, and gave him every half-hour
until noon, when he took big dose of
salts. After dinner, his wife, who had
seen fine old lady of great experience
in doctoring, gave him two pills of her
make, about the size Of an English wal
nut, and of similar shape, and two
table-spooniuls of homemade balsam
to keep them down. Then he took a
half-pint of hot rum at the suggestion
of an old sea captain in the next house,
and steamed his legs with an alcohol
bath. At this crisis two of the neigh
bors arrived, who saw at once that his
blood was out of order, and gave him
half gallon of spearmint tea, and big
dose of castor oil. Before going to bed
he took eight of new kind of pill,
wrapped about his neck flannel soaked
in hot vinegar and salt, and had feath-
ers burnt on shovel i'm his room. He
is now thoroughly cured, and full of
gratitude. We advise onr readers to cut
this out and keep it where it can be
readily found when danger threatens.

The Family Paner.

One Of the last places to begin sys-
tenn of retrenchmentis is with your paper
No family can really afford to do with
out it; it is in a right senses an eco
nomical feature in family expenses; it
meets the wants of old and young; it
gives instruction and entertainment; 1t
is rarely that there is a single issue that
does not contain some fact, some in
formation, some house or farm, or busi-
ness suggestions, that are not worth
many times the subscription price for a
year And further, what intelligent
citizen in these days of great things,
can keep informed as to what is trans
piring in the world around him unless
he has his newspaper, which for a few
cents a week brings him tidings from
all parts of the world? And the ques-
tion has been well put, "Can man be
an intelligent citizen, without n paper ?''
Therefore we say, hold to your paper.
1t is one Of the important members OF
your family circles, doing lis duty faith
fully, and exercising a salutary and ele-
waiting influence in every departments OF
family life.

Prof. Gregory,s Lecture.

On Friday evening last Prof. Gregory
of the University of Wooster, delivered
alecture in Town Hall, on the 'Mission
of the Young Men of America" 1t was
one of the most interesting and prae-
tical lectures of the course, just what We
could wish every young man of Amer
ica could hear. He showed the advan-
tages that the young men of America
enjoy over the young men of Europe
and other countries. The highest po-
sitions in morals and government are
open alike to all. Every one has 4
chance. The speaker urged the import
ance of every young man setting his
mark high and aiming at the highest
degree of excellence in every station in
life, in every calling or occupation. We
regret that there were not more of Our
young men in attendance. $3.50

Letter Postage.

The Postmaster-General having sub
mitted to tic Attorney-General the
question, "Should letter not fully pre-
paid be charged at the office ofdelivery
with double the deficient postage, or
only with the balance unpaid?" the
Attorney General has, after full con-
sideration of the different sections OF
the act to revise, consolidate and amend
the statutes relating to the postofiice
department, gives his opinion that let
tiers not fully prepaid at the time of
mailing should not be charged double
the deficient postage, but only with the
actual balance not prepaid. Immediate
ly upon the receipt of the opinion the
Postmaster-G General gave directions that
the postoftiee department should con-
form Herewith.

AlYlNCE PAYMENT.

The credit system in the newspaper
business scatters small sums of money,
aggregating large amount to each
publisher, over a vast extent of country,
rendering collection from tardy debtors
next to impossible and is therefore pro-
ductive of great loss to publishers.
Paper, ink, labor and all other sources
of expenditures in newspaper offices
require cash.
Better papers can be published when
paid for in advance than when the pro-
prietors are pressed for money to meet
the daily demands made upon them.
There is little doubt that law of
Congress will, in few months, require
postage to be paid on all papers sent
through the mails, and that il must be
paid in advance by the publishers.
In view of the foregoing, and other
considerations which it is not deemed
necessary to enumerate, the under
signed, publishers of the Holmes Conn
ty REPUBLICAN and Holmes County Far
naer, agree to adopt the pay-in-advance
system, to send no papers from their
respective Offices from and after the
FIRST DAY OF JULY NEXT,
unless the same be paid for in advance.

breasts, scalds. burns, salt rhuem, ear-ache,
&c, upon the human frame, and of strains,

than have all other pretended remedies since
the world began. 1t is counter-irrltant, an
all-healing pain relieyer. Cripples throw away
their crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites
are rendered harmless and the wounded are
healed without a-scar. It Is no humbug. The
ccipe is published around each bottle. 1t is
selling as no article before sold and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do
Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pain
or swelling, deserve to suffer if they will not
use Centaur Liniment More than 1000 certifi-
Gates of remarkable cures, including frozen
limbs, chronic rheumatism. gout, running tu-
