A French doctor, by an examina-
ton of matrimonial statistics, has
discovered that out of one hundred
blonde women thirty seven remain
old maids by the wayside, while out
of one hundred brunettes only eigh-
teen stop without a husband. A lit
tie girl, three years old, to whom he
impaired this information, asked him
to make her brunette.

Republican Convention.

The Republican County Conven-
ton meets next Tuesday, and we
hope and believe it will nominate q
first-rate ticket-one composed of
men possessing the good old Jeffer-
sonian requisites of Honesty, Fl
deity and Capacity" The times i'm
peratively demand such men to fill
the public offices, and the people
should elect none others. The Re
publican party has plenty of good
material from which to select candi-
dates, and we have confidence that
the Convention will make wise and
judicious selection.
All merely personal considerations
at time like this should be made to
yield to the good of the Republican
cause, whose success is of SO much
Importance to the country. Let the
Convention therefore keep steadily
in view the necessity of selecting as
candidates not only good men, but
men who will add strength to the tic
ket, and rally to its support the en-
tire Republican vote of the county.
We want no laggards in this fight,
but men who will prosecute the can
vass with energy and determination
to win. With such men, we shall as
surely achieve complete victory at
the polls as the election day comes
round.
We shall keep back our paper next
Tuesday till after the Convention, in
order to give the result in our next

Three Points for Consideration

During the past five years the VEeETINE has been
steadily working itself into public favor and those
who at first most incredulOus in regard to its
merits are now its most ardent friends and sup
pOrters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such a horror of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence toward the ad-
vancement of VEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2d-1t honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for
3d-t presents honest vouchers in testimonials from
honest, wellknown citizens, whose signatures are
q sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast quanti-
ty of medicine brought cOnspicuOusly before the
public through the flaming advertisements in the
newspaper columns, with no proof of merit or gen.

in presenting the following testimonial from Rev.

Sam cary's BONANZA.

In the Cincinnati Commercial of
the 11th inst, we noticed an editorial
on "Sam Cary's Bonanza" in which
that gentleman was charged with ap-
propriating $4,000 of other peoples
money to his own use, or words to
that effect. We have waited patient
ly for the General to rise and explain,
which he has not done in very sat
isfactory manner Some time ago
an effort was made at Cincinnati to
form q silver mining company.whose
head and center was Samuel Cary,
and who represented the purchase
money of a certain silver mine to be
$4,000. The stockholders grew un-
easy and appointed an agent to go
out West and investigate. He re-
turned with report that only S32,-
600 had been expended, leaving a
balance OF S1o,OOO not accounted for.
Cary must explain the whereabouts
of this money. The worst feature of
the case is that on certain instru-
ment of writing the $4,000 had been
erased, and after the purchase of the
mines $4,000 substituted. We al
ways did think Cary was a dema-
gogue, and until this transaction is
explained must believe him to be a
dishonest man. It would be consis-
tent with the career of the last Dem
ocratic Legislature for the party to
nominate Cary for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Haag and Cary would make
a good team [Ironton Journal

T'hat the Catholic vote should be cast solely for
the Democracy at the coming election, is undoubt-
edly true.
The above (says the Cincinnati Times is
the Catholic Democratic doctrine in the
State of Ohio, and no sham plank in their
Columbus platform is going to blind any
one to the facts. Frightened at the indlg-
nation with which the people have greeted
the Roman Catholic scheme, the Jesuit
leaders have consented to blind platform;
but thev will still work with the Democratic
party, and still triumph in its success.
They temporize only until after election.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
General Hayes sis a clever gentle
man, and his previous administra
tions were marked by fairness, even
ness and uprightness," and asserts
that his personal character and
high repute as a citizen will make his
candidacy formidable. That is a
solid Democratic tribute to the ex-
cellence of the Republican work at
Columbus.

timOny, as there is no doubt about the curative
power of VEGETINE.
NATICK, MASS, Jan. 1, 1873.
MR.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of saw
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years of
age; for the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulOus affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A council of
able physicians could give but the faintcst hope
of his rallying; two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputatiOn could not save him, he had not
yigor enough to endure the operation. Just then
we commenced giving him VEGETINE and from
that time TO the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is some discharge from the open
ing where his limb was lanced, we have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will he perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE but lately uses but little, he declares he
is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yonrs,
L. S. BEST.
Mrs, l.. G.. BEST.
