Says an exchange can eminent
physician, who devotcs his whole attcn-
ton to diseases Of the throat and lungs,
told IA the other day, that about three
fourths of all throat diseases would get
well by wearing very loose collars, and
no necktie at oil. He said that often
singers would come to him for throat
disease and loss of voice, and he would
tear open their crayats and cure them
with no other treatment whatever.

noticed that the pulse was becoming
rather weak, and the inhalation stopped.
The patient had not become insersible,
however, and endeayors were made to
extract the tooth, but tho pain was SO
great that, again at the lady's desire.
the gas was given a second time. The

The EDITOR WITH THE
PATENT INsIDE.-The editor of
a newspaper which wears a
patent inside should be very
careful about writing sarcasm
for his outside. At Nashville
there is an establishments which
prints the insides of . great
number of the weekly journals
of Tennessee, and the editor of
the sprightly Lebanon Herald,
DR.. r. L. G. White, receives his
inside from the Nashville cons
cern. DIR. White having seen
in the daily Union and Ameri-
can, of Nashville, the poem
called "All Quiet Along the
Potomac" sat down and wrote
for his outside a very sarcastic
paragraph upon the folly Of the
Nashville daily in publishing
such verses. Mr.. Bell, of the
Union and American, read DIR.
Whites sarcasm.

pen and writing down DIR.

midnight assassin, Mr.. Bell
quietly picked upia pair of
scissors and cut All Quiet

| Union and American contains
ing it, then leisurely walked
down to the establishment
where DIR. Whites inside is
printed and gave the poem to
the editor Of the patent insides,
requesting its publication. The
verses were accepted, and when
| DR.. White got his next inside
from Nashville it had "All
Quiet Along the Potomac" in
as conspicuous a position as
his worst enemy could have
wished to see it after reading
his Sarcasm. If news comes
from Tennessee that DR.. White
has resumed the control OF biz
own inside, his friends in othel
parts Of the country will un'
derstand the eharge.-[L Louis

To the Editor of the Standard:
AS there is considerable interest mani
tested in regard to the mineral wealth of
parts of jackson county, thought few
items from Jackson township might be
acceptable.
A few years ago, it was believed that
there were no minerals in jackson town
ship, and our vast hills were made for
nothing. 1t is now ascertained. that we
have the top hill vein of coal. Mr.. E.
Burns having bank open,) and it is be-
lieved that we have the celebrated shaft
coal, near the foot of the hills.
No attention was paid to ore until a
short time ago, and now an excellent
quality has been discovered in two or
three localities. Mr.. Hoop, of jackson,
examined a piece, which be supposed
was obtained near the new furnace, on
Martins run, and he $50 l am informed }
pronounced it the very best limestone
ore" l think Jackson township is as
rich in minerals as other parts of the
county, and all we need is little labor
to develop it. A beginning is all that is
needed to prove it. JOSEPH MILLER.

Our old friend Walter C. Hood was
nominated by Gov. Allen for State Libra

Senate. He is now at Columbus. We
learn that the Office is worth 81, 800 per

The appointment of Walter C. Hood as
State Librarian is one of the best that
could have been made. Mr. Hood is a
son of Judge Hood (some years deceased),
Mho was one of the most prominent men
of his time in Perry county. He is a
grandson of Charles Hammond He is a
gentleman of culture, an experienced

popularity with all classes

make better selection.
