II anybody has ever used the thorough
ana scientific course of treatment reoom-
mended by the proprietor Of Dr. Sage's
Casafrh remedy for the cure of Catarrh
and has not been perfectly cured, the pro-
prietor, DIR. r. Y. Pierce, would like to
hear from that person, and by addressing
him at the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, M.
Y, such person, il there be one, will hear
ofsomething to his or her advantage. as
the Doctor is in earnest when he offers
5000 reward for case of Catarrh which he
can not cure, and is perfectly able to pay
II he fails in a single case, as any one may
ascertain upon inquiry. The thorough
course of treatment referred to and recon-
nended by Dr. Pierce consists in the use
Of Dr. Sage's Catafrh Remedy with DR..
Pierce's Nasal Douche which is the only
means by which the fluid can be carried
high up and applied to all the nasal pas
sages and the chambers connected there
with in which ulcers exist and from which
the discharge proceeds. In addition to
this thorough application of the Remedy,
which should always be used warm, Dir.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken earnestly as a constitutional treat
ment, without which but few cases can be
cured as the disease is always constitu-
tional and must be treated accordingly.
This treatment has no unpleasant features
about 1t, and has the advantage of never
driving the disease TO the lungs as there is
danger of doing by. the use of strong, ir-
ritating snuffs or poisonous solutions

The dramatic editor Of one of the Phila-
delphia papers says that Miss Winnetta
Montague, the beautiful actress, whom foul
Tumor reported had taken fight with young
Hamilton, the defaulting Treasurer of
Jersey City, is, as she herself stated to a
newspaper interviewer, an unfortunate
woman, born TO bad luck. Instead of go
ing away with Hamilton, of whom she has
not a very elevated opinion, she came to
this. city to fulfil an engagement at the
Chestnut Street theatre. AS is well known,
that theatre was obliged. to close on, ac-
count of financial difficulties, That was
bad luck for Miss Montague. But her bad
luck does not end here. She is now lying
sick at her hotel, the Bingham House, COR
ner of Market and Eleventh streets, with
that most loathsome of all diseases, the
small pox. 1t appears, upon inquiry, that
Miss Montague was assigned to q room, at
the Bingham House, in which, within less
than week prior man had died Of that
disease. Indeed, the case Of Miss Mon
tague arOuses our warmest sympathies. For
tnnately for the lady as we learn from her
physician, DIR. Pancoast, she has the dis
ease in It's nlildest form, and no way likely
that its effects will be shown in her re.
markable expressive features.

Testimonial.

Although there has from time tc
time been much said in favor of the
Mineral Spring in this city, the
curative powers of the water have
never been over-estimated. Its
wonderful performances are almost
daily being shown to the world by
the cures of the many afflicted.
There is probably not a spring on
this continent that Possesses the
many good qualities that does this
spring, as the testimonials which
have been and are continually be-
ing received clearly demonstrate.
The following is what a Detroit suf-
fer says it has done for him.
Detroit, Mich, July 0, 1874.
Dear Sir:-Eight weeks ago to-
day l had q parolytic stroke, which
left the whole of my left side COM
pletely useless. Three weeks ago
/ arrived at your famous spring,
and I am happy to say, for the ben
eft of persons similarly afflicted,
that / commenced improving the
first day, being able to raise my
arm three or four inches after the
first bath, and have kept it up un-
til now l am almost entirely well,
and that my general health has not
been so good for fifteen years. ]
left the spring two weeks earlier
than l should have done, on ac-
count of important business, but |
feel satisfied that | am now entirely
cured, nothing but slight weak
ness of the muscles being left
With gratitude to God, your won
derful fountain of healing waters
and your own skilful use Of them,
I am, dear sir,
Yours, etc.,

DOings of Our City Fnthers.

At the meeting OF the Common Coun
Gil on Monday evening last, the member
were all present except Aid. Pack ant
the Recorder.
VIM. McMastcr petitioned for permits
sion to remove his harness shop TO 10,
within the Fire limits, agreeing to brick
veneer sand building. Referred.
Petitions for opening Farmer street
and making Lincoln street passable were
presented and referred.
The Comptroller presented his report
on accounts, which was referred. lie
also reported on the Lockwood and
Fourth street drain, and was authorized
receive bids for the work on the same.
The Comptroller reported that he had
received numerous propositions to open
Campbell street, and that the bid of A.
Christian and ]. Johnson, at 00c per rod,
was the lowest.
The Street Commissioner reported
on streets, recommending that certain
improvements be made in different local
tiles, such as making drains, clearing
and burning stumps and rubbish on
streets already opened, ETC., which was
placed on file.
The City Attorney reported IN regard
to the First street matter, stating that
the right of way on First street, and on
Chisholm street to the bay, could he OBJ
tanned for 5000. Laid over one week.
The Committee on Ways and Means
reported in regard to offices for city Off
Gals, laying before the Council the diff
ferent propositions. There was no def
mite action taken on the subject, and 1t
is to be hoped that the Council will give
the matter due consideration befor act
ing. They should consider first the ex-
pcnse, and then the necessity Of furnish
ing such Offices, and they will, we hope,
come TO the conclusion that 1t is an ex.
pcnsive luxury, for some one to reap the
benefits, while the taxpayers foot the
bills.
A spicial committee reported in refer.
ence to the library fund, and the report
was ordered spread upon the minutes.
Aid, Blakeley appeared particularly
anxious that Campbell street should be
opened, and moved that the work be let
to the lowest bidders. The motion did
not prevail however, and by a motion
from Aid. Knight, the opening of this
street was indefinitely postponed.
An ordinance relative TO the govern.
ment Of cemeteries was taken from the
table, read by sections, and then laid
over for one week. The Council appear
to be somewhat slow iu providing for
the proper care Of our cemeteries. We
don't think the ordlnce can be bettered
much, and hope II will become law.

building formerly occupied by Mr.
Bostwick, on Water street, which
were furnished and put in readiness
for occupancy, by one or more per-
sons. According to previous ar
engagements, q woman who gave
her name as Kate Kathleen, arrived
by the steamer Sherman, on Sun
day, and the lady and Professor
occupied the room above mention
ed on Sunday night. We might
here state that the deputy sheriff
from Bay City, witha warrant for
the arrest of the couple on charge
OF adultery, also arrived on the
Sherman. The deputy and our
city marshal laid ther plans and
awaited the approach of the "wee
sma'" hours of Mondy morning be-
fore commencing active operations.
Shortly after midnight the deputy
and marshal proceeded cautiously
to the room in which their victims
were supposed to be reposing, burst
open the door, and found the gull
ty pair snugly ensconsed in one
bed. The deputy took them in
and Monday morning the
trio started back for Bay City. 1t
is said that the husband of this
woman, has for some time suspect
ed that there was improper intima-
cy between his wife and the Pro-
lessor, and when she told him re-
Gently that she was going to leave
him, he determined to "play his
cards for all they were WORTH
He made singh, low, jack and the
game" besides capturing "pedro."
Pretty specimen, this Professor, to
set himself up as a fit subject to
leach the young ladies and gents of

KEEP THEM CLEAS.-Now that
the various streets in our city are
being cleaned up it would be very
sensible and paying idea to keen
them SO. Let every occupant or
owner of a house or block see that
the street in front of his premises
is kept free from slabs, edgings,
rubbish, ETC., and then compel all
parties hauling edging and mill
refuse, to stop and pick up the
pieces which are continually drop
ping from their vehicles. 1t will
be quite easy to keep the streets in
a very respectable condition if the
matter is properly attended to, and
it would cost comparatively moth
ing.

SLIGHTLY MIXED The owners oil
cows in this city are continually
annoyed by the disappearance OF
those animals. Very often we hear
of some one losing a COW, and after
searching several days they find
her shut up in the vicinity of Mud
Lake where she is of course being
millsed regularly. These cases are
becoming too frequent to be alto
gether overlooked by our citizens.
Last September Mr.. Harshaw and
Mr.. II. Doyle lost their cows about
the same time. Mr.. Doyle found
what he supposed to be his COW in
the woods, and he has kept her
from that time till last week, when
she was claimed by Mr.. Harshaw.
Mr.. Doyle was somewhat astonish-
ed, but 1t is not surprising that he
should be mistaken when 1t is con-
sidered how near o resemblance the
two animals bear to each other.
This of course set Mr.. Doyle to
work to find the whereabouts of
his own COW, and he at last succeed
ed. She was at Mud Lake, where
she has been all winter. She was
brought home looking as though
she had passed through a hard sea-
son. 1t is claimed that the COW
was advertised, but we have not
yet heard of any definate proof.
Look out for your cows.
