CoNSUMPTION-For the cure of this dis
tressing disease there has been no medicine
yet discovered that can show more evidence
of real merit than ALIENS LUNG BALskM.
This unequaled expectorant, for curing Con-
sumption and all diseases leading to it, such
as affections Of the Throat, Lungs, and all
diseases Of the Pulmonary Organs, is intro
duced to the suffering public, after its merits
for the positive cure of such diseases have
been thoroughly tested by the medical fac
ulty. The Balsam is, consequently, recon-
mended by physicians who have become &C.
quainted with it's great success.
INTOXICATING NosTRUMs.-The persons
who have scruples of conscience against
perpendicular drinking at tavern bars,
can become blind drunk ON almost any of
the advertised "tonics" or "invigorants"
in half an hour. There is, however, one
exception to this rule. Nobody can "get
over the bay" on VINEGAR BITTERs, for
the simple reason that this famous reno
waiting and regulating medicine contains
no ditfusive stimulants of any kind. Yet
It's strength-reserving properties are mar
Vicious. 1t restores the relish for food
when all other appetizers fail imparts
uawonted vigor to the digestive func-
tons regulates the flow of bile soothes
the nervous system promotes healthful
sleep, and tends to produce that condition
of body and brain which is supposed to
be most conducive to longevity and the
enjoyment Of life. Its specific effects in
acute and chronic disorders affecting the
stomach, the bowels, the spine, the kid
neys, the fieshy fiber, the muscles and
the lungs, are considered by competent
judges the most extraordinary n edical
phenomena Of the age. Vinegar Bitters
has now larger sale than any of the
spirituous astringents, and its immense
popularity in a land where the people OBJ
serve closely, test thoroughly, and act in
dependently, is in itself sufficient guar
antee Of the excellence Of the medicine,
We recommend it to all.

Susan B. Anthony and the other females,

late election at Rochester, n. T., have been
bound over for trial before the L nited States
| District Court in the sum of $500 each. The
election inspectors who received the votes
have also been held for trial.
While about three hundred men, women
and children were in attendance in the upper
audience room Of the Baptist Church in the
| Seventh Ward of Williamsport, Pa, on the
evening of the 25th, participating in the
Christmas celebration, the floor gave way,
and nearly the entire assemblage was pre-
cipitated to the cellar below. Fourteen were
killed and forty or fifty wounded, many of
! them seriously, some of whom would prob
| ably die. To add to the horrors of the stu
alton, the oil lamps ignited and threatened
to destroy all in general confagration, but,
providentially, the flames could be reached
and were speedily extinguished.

sonal aims. The taxes on property have
assumed such proportions that they might
be called rents paid by proprietors to the
State for its occupation and use. The
taxes upon business Cypress the commercial
and laboring classes. The laws to
control elections, corporations, and public
institutions stimulate these excuses of
office holders, and the consequence is de-
preston and discomfort. The State needs
an honest, faithful and responsible govern
ment, conducted to attain public objects,
and not to enrich its members or perpetuate
their power. There was an earnest effort to
obtain such government at the last election.
We affirm, without fear of contradiction,
that the foregoing statement exhibits, on
the part of the United States Court, the
most unparalleled and baseless usurpation
of jurisdiction and authority of which the
annals of jurisprudence afford any example.
The action of the Returning Board, recog
nized and vested with all its powers by this
Court, has been equally unprecedented.
Without any official returns before them,
without any official data on which alone their
action could have been righfully based, they
have presumed to proclaim the results Of the
elections. The declaration by them of the
votes cast in the different parishes is as
purely fanciful as if no election whatever
had been held. They have arbitrarily re
duced and increased the votes On one side
or the other in different parishes to suit their
purposes. In several parishes, while return
ing. Or even adding to the votes cast for
their candidates, they have simply annihi-
lated or stricken out entirely the votes cast
for their opponents. In other parishes they
have exactly reversed the returns, giving
to their candidates the majority which had
really been returned for their opponents.
They have not pretended to furnish the pub
lie with any statement of the basis on which
they proceeded, or the theory on which they
acted. Their whole conduct is without any
kind of reasonable explanation. We submit
to the people of the United States that such
proceedings reach a point at which the
whole theory Of popular government is re-

Losing Situations.

IL is bad business, this of losing stu
ations. 1t is a bad sign, too for it !
presumptive proof that the loser doe
not deserve the situation he fails to re
tain. 1t may not be on account of i'm
morality, or drunkenness, or dishonesty
these are the giant vices that condemn
their victim in all places and circumstan
ces. The young man that is dishonest o.
addicted to intemperance and licentious
ness, need not expect TO be trusted will
business of others; it is a wonder tha
he should get place-much more tina
he should keep it. But the severe exac
tions of business in these times requir,
something else of man than exemption
from faults and vices they demand pos
tive virtues and aptitudes. A younl
man may possess exemplary morals; h,
may have no bad habits he may fatte
himself that he possesses q good educa
ton, he writes good hand, that he il
quick at figures, mathematician,
linguist and scholar. All this is we'll
but it is not enough these accomplish
ments are graces that adorn character
and give satisfaction to the possessor
but they do not mean business. Situa
tions demand not only the absence Of
bad habits; they exact good habits
such as diligence, industry, cheerful
willingness to work without measuring
the allotted task, vigilant watchfulness
over the employers interest-the prac
tice of doing things thoroughly and eff
fectively-promptness and reliability
All these may be possessed by those Of
ordinary ability and Indifferent educa.
ton; but they will entitle such man tc
hold his position. and to rise higher in
his employers favor, while young man
of superior talents, education and ac-
complishments, will lose one position after
another. 1t is a pitiable sight to see a
man of business, and without means, ap-
pealing to personal friends to get a
place. He deserves sympathy and aid
and his friends should not fail to sncour-
age and assist him. But there are toe
many young men seeking clerkships and
agencies; who want, not the situation, but
the salary; they want to do as little
work and get as much money as possible.
They perform their duties, but decline
to perform more than their duties they
are languid, listless, and indifferent, and
take no active interest in the fortunes
of their employer, nor take, pains to win
his favor. They are men who lose stu
ations without exactly knowing why. If
man, young or old, would retain his
position, let him make himself indispen-
sable to to his employer. The task is
not difficult one, and will be worth
more than he imagines.

Encounter with a Panther.

Dave Mosher, trapper and guide in
the North Woods, had terrific encounter
with North Woods beast last week.
Three miles from Sacondoga Lake
there is wild, rugged pass between
the moutains, known as Black Cat val
ley The mountains on either side are
very steep and rocky, and are cover
&c with a heavy growth of black bal
sam and spruce timber. As the snow
deepens and the weather becomes cold,
many deer and animals take shelter in
that locality.
Among the rest are the rocky martin,
having valuable dark-colored for,
known among the trappers in those re-
gions, as Black Cat" They seldom
move by day, keeping concealed in trunks
of trees or between assures of rocks. Ow-
ing to the uncertainty of finding one
twice in place, and their shyness, it is
quite itficult to trap them. However,
when they become pinched with hunger
they will jump at the bait without hesi-
ton.
A keen, strong, steel trap is set and
covered with snow or leaves directly un-
der dropping branch that the animal
can reach by rearing; upon this is Sc.
cured the bait and in the effort to reach
which is pretty apt to step in the trap.
Then comes season of desperate man
envers, and the only way to hold them
is by having the trap chain attached to
small sapling that will spring and lift
them from the ground. This sleek, fine-
furred animal is about the size of red
fox, and as David used to express it.
they're sassy varmint to get hold
on"
As Mosher was going the rounds of
his traps last week Wednesday, he saw
through the bushes ahead terrific com.
motion under large white birch, where
trap had been set. As he approached,
long, gaunt, twany- -colored, fierce-look-
ing animal, whose wild scr. ans upon
the mountain side, at night, will send
thrill of horror to those who are safe in
the cabin, sprang upon lower limb of
the birch, and bid defiance with glaring
eyes. 1t was driven to desperation by
hunger.
Had David quietly backed out he
could have enjoyed his supper of veni-
son and pancakes. But no; he raised
the old rifle and fired. In one-fourth of
York minute, Bill Stewards exact
time for skinning Mentezuma bullhead
all the clothes upon him would not have

ly found himself beside log, partly
scalped, with his lower limbs looking as
if they had been through a threshing
machine, while, at the same moment.
with spit and a scream, panther dis
appeared up the mountain side. When
he came up the panther was engaged in
killing and devouring a martin which
was caught in the trap, and his hunger
being partially appeased was the means
of the trapper crawling off with his life.
