An Interesting question - Can Con.
sumption be Cur ed?

This question is often asked but rarely an
swered to the satisfaction of the patient.
Our answer is that pulmonary consumption
in its incipient form is rs durable as any
other disease, If only the right remedies are
applied. Tie question naturally arises as to
what are the remedies? In reply, we state
that Marsden's Poctoral Balm has been used
successfully in over a million of cases, and
has been adopted by physicians as the most
.Tliahle' remedy known Tor The treatment Of
bronchial affections.
One great reason that Marsden's Pectoral
Balm has gained such popularity, is the fact
that it is within the reach of all, and can be
purchased from all dealers mt fifty cents for "
small or one dollar a. large bottle. One bot
tie will effect cure in most cases.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

According to a custom that is hard to
break over, a governor for the next two
years will be chosen from the west side
OF the state. The names of several gen.
tlemen from that section of the state.
have already been put forward, but no
name has met with any very decided ia
vor until that of the Hon. F. D. Douglas
was put forward by a correspondent of
the Rutland Herald Since his name
was mentioned many have pronounced
IN his favor. The Vermont Farmer
says "a better man could not have been
named. When the Board of Agricul-
ture met at East Montpelier the editor
OF a Montpelier paper, inquired will not
MIR. Douglas make a good governor?"
Every one who knows him, would give
an affirmative answer to this question.
Mr. Douglas is a man in the prime of
lie farmer owning and carrying on a
large farm in Whiting, Addison County.
de has been member of the legislature,
IS one Of the most useful members of
Vhe Doard OF agriculture, Is man of
exemplary habits, and Of good common
sense. He belongs to no orders OF rings
Is neither a politician nor trickster :.
but an honorable, sensible man. who is
esteemed at home and respected where
ever known. In the art of dairying, Mr..
Douglas has been very successful, and
has been called without the state, to lee
ture upon this subject. Within the
state he IS known by all who have at
tended the meetings of the Board of Ag-
rlculture during the last two years. In
Short MIR. Douglas is just such man
as the people want for governor, and
We hope he may be elected.

Another atrocity has been committed

Another atrocity has been committed
by the murder of three persons in the
town of Halifax. Mass. Two brothers
by the name of Sturtevant. and woman
who kept house for them, were murdered
last week, Sunday. The brothers were
well-to-do farmers and were supposed to
have considerable money in their posses
sion. The murderers, whoever they were
probably were aware of this fact, and as
it appeared, attacked one of the men in
the evening as he was going to his barn.
The other brother was an invalid and
was murdered In his bed. The woman
was found in the field some ways from
the house. The weapon used to commit
the deed was an ordinary sled stake,
with which the heads of the victims
were beaten to a pomice The house was
ri1ed. There is as yet no clue in regard
to the murderers.
Since the above was written, a young
man by the name of Sturtevant. nephew
of the murdered men, has been arrested,
and there is very strong evidence against
him. and general belief that he is the
murderer

THE AFRICAN SAVAGE.

The African savage possesses, in the
first place, a thorough knowledge of his
own country from his childhood he has
run naked among the tangled forests and
gigantic grasses, through which he can
move with the ease and almost the celer-
ity of a wild beast. Like the animals
of the forest, he seeks cover at the first
approach of danger, and the jungle,
which to troops in uniform is almost i'm
penetrable, is to the native warrior re-
treat that shields him from all dangers.
Thus when the African is opposed to
disciplined forces, he invariably relies
upon the security which is offered to him
by the difficulties of his own country.
His tactics of attack and sudden retreat
to thick covert are exceedingly annoying
to European troops. There is seldom
chance of forcing him to fight in the open
field, and his loss being therefore COM
paratively light, he is always ready to
renew his attack upon the first opportu-
nifty. Although no soldier in our accept
alton of the term, it must be remembered
that every native is warrior. From his
earliest childhood he has been in con-
slant practice with the lance and bow
and arrow. His barbed arrows, being
frequently poisoned, do fatal service at
distance of one hundred and twenty
yards, and his lance is thrown with
great force and precision up to forty
yards, and will fall into body of men
at sixty yards distant. The common
musket becomes formidable when slues
are used ; and although all these savage
weapons appear ridiculous when compar-
ed with our modern inventions. it will
be found in close fighting in the bush
and grass jungles these native savages
should not be regarded with CONTEMPT.
1t may be considered as rule with but
conducted upon the principle of surprise
allied with treachery. They will employ
false guides and Interpreters, who, hay-
ing gained the confidence of the Europe.
an enemy, will lead the troops into am.
buscades. The natives will spy out the
movements of the troops from the tops
OF trees, IN which their dark bodies are un-
obscured, If laxity of discipline prevail.
the stragglers will be cut off and attacks
made on the flank and rear. The favor.
lite method Of attack is during the night,
when darkness reduces the danger from
firearms. On such occasions the natives
generally halt in forest or in the grass
about half mile from the Camp thew
propose to attack.
Scouts are sent forward to ascertain
the position of the sentries posted in ad-
vance of the main body. The scouts
perfectly naked, crawl upon their hands
and knees until darkness permits them
to approach within few yards of the
sentries. They then advance fiat unon
their bellies, and finally retreat with
their information to the main body in
the rear.

the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys-

and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or indigestion, EfstIess-

should be taken moderatelyto stimulate the stom-

For Liver Complaint and its various Symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache. Jaundice or. Green Sickness, Bill
lOns Collie ana BILIOUS Eeyers. they should
be judicously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Hsiarrh0a, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, GOut, Gravel, Pal
pitatiOn of the Heart, Pain ina the
Side, Back and E1Oins, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOpsy and Dr0psicaI SweIIings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression, a large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM

As Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the

Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
