The above is fac smile OF label we
are placing upon a whisky we have sue
ceeded in getting control of with some
difficulty. All of the physicians TO whom
we have shown 1t pronounce it superior
to anything yet brought to this market for
medical and family use.
Almost all writers aud eminen prac-
ticioners OF medicine admit and recon-
mend Whisky--when OF good quaiity--as
preferab as q medicinal agent TO brandy
for various reasons, the most important Of
which is: it is much more likely to be of
good quality, AS its mode Of manufacture
is simpler; its action in low fevers AZ
diffusiye stimulant is equal to brandy in
potency, while it does not produce the
painful burning in the stomach SO often
complained of when brandy Is used; in
staying the waste of tissue of consump-
ton of the lungs, nothing, except it may
be cod liver oil. has yet been found to
equal it. The above being true, the diff
ference In price should be taken into con-
sideration, which is quite an item usually
to those who are SO unfortunate as to be
ill. A single trial Of our goods we are as
sured will convince the purchaser it is
something superior to anything they ever
used Of the kind.

Another Fire.

Last Friday night about nine o'clock
we were again startled by the cry OF
Sire: firel' In little while everybody
had gathered around the new residence
OF Lem. sutton, and while some were try
ing TO eXtinguish the lire. others were
busy carrying out the goods. For awhile
the fire 1erd was held in check, but
eventually gained the mastery, and IN less
than two hours consumed one Of the best
houses in town. The house had been
built this year. Mr.. Sutton and his moth
err moved into IL about two months since.
The fire doubtless originated from sparks
out OF the kitchen fiue. The building, we
learn, was fully insured. Mr.. Sutton
lost about two hundred doll airs ia curren-
cy. He had it In his bed, and it Is sup
posed that in carrying the bed out the
book containing the money was dropped
and LEFT TO burn In the house. We are
disposed TO ask who viii be the next sur
ferery
The &eoSho Presbytery of the u. T..
church held its first session here last

best sermons at the Methodist church
last Sunday morning. 1t was the kind of
preaching demanded by the times--plain,
pointed and practical.
A good warm rain this (MOnday)
