IINIMENTS

So nearly perfect are the recipes OF these
wonderful pa.n-soothing and Centaur Lini>
ments. that We cen confidently say they will
GlLeuiate any pain arising from flesh, bone OF
muscle arrangements. We do not pretend
that they will mend a broken leg or ertermindte
6ofLs. but even In such cases they will reduce
the Inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can
we guarantee tue proper results where the bo-
dy Is pcisoned By vhisky. Temperance is as ne
cessaiy 10 a proper physical. as mental cOndi-
tIon.
The While Oeata,u- Lisli,nent is particularly
adapted to ali cases of rheumatism, Lumbago.
Ery sipelas. Itch, Spratns. Chilblains, Cuts.
Bruises, Stiugs Poisons. Scalds, Sciatica. Weak
Back, Pains IN the side. Wounds, Sinews,
Burns. Frosted Feet, Palsy. EsraChe, Headache.
Ulcers, Od Sores Broken Breasts, Sore Mp
pies. Sore Throat. Coup, Diptheria, etc. The
most OF there complaints the Centaur Lini-
ment Will cure; all of them it will benefit II
will extract the poison from bites and stings,
and will cure burns and Scdids without scar.

MILToN CARPENTER and VIM. Powell,
charged with passing counterfeit money,
whose arrest we noticed last week, had pre-
liminary hearing on Thursday before U. S.
Commissioner Tallman. The only evidence
in the case worthy Of notice, in support of the
charge, was that given by Maj. w. c. Car,
man and Mahlon Hatcher, and even that did
not hang together well enough to convince
scarcely any one in this locality of the truth
of the charges. The evidence for the defense
showed that the parties charged with the
crime, we're of good standing in the commu,
nifty in which they lived, and six to ten of the
prominent business men of ST. Clairsville
swore that they would not believe Carmar
under oath, and he admitted ON the stand that
he was spotted all over this county as coun-
terfeiter-but it wasn't true" Hatcher by his
own admissions was the confederate of Carmau
in the ''bundling game"-which number ol
people in this county understand to their sor
row. Still, with this state of facts, the Com
missioner held Carpenter in $1,000 to appear
at the April term of the Z. S. Court in Cincin
natl, and Powell in $500 as witness.

The County Commissioners, at their recent
session, ordered the purchase of a THEoDoLITE,
for the use of the county. Among many ad-
vantages to be derived by purchasing this in
strument, the following are worthy of notice.
1t is the only instrument by which true me-
ridian can be established, and will show the
exact variation of the needle from time to
time BY this instrument and the meridian
thus established, every compass in the county
can be adjusted, and will show the same vari-
alton, thus avoiding many lawsuits, caused by
difference in lines run by different surveyors.
1t is the only instrument by which the exact
grade of roads can be deIermined-thus Civ
ing to viewers of roads, and the County Com
missioners, correct data to make calculation!
as to probable cost of constructing roads, anC
whether or not there is benefit to be derived
from the alteration or construction of roads,
is the only instrument by which lines in Goa
banks can be correctly established, for tn
reason that the needle in the ordinary compass
is unavoidably affected by the local attraction
: and for the same reason OF local attraction
lines of town lots cannot be correctly deter
iiinCu ny tiic OIuindiy Soht'ooo, ouu Cou po "
a the Theodolite. 1t is. greatly superior to tn
ordinary instrument in measuring land lines
under any or all circumstances. The Count
Sur, ,eyor, at whose instance the instrumer
n was purchased, is to establish the true merit
ian, and make monthly reports Of the varii
l tion of the needle for one year, without exit
g charge. In addition to the benefit TO be d.
!, rived by the people by the purchase of tn
v instrument, another reason for its purchas
was, that the law makes it the duty of IL
Commissioners to establish the meridian, an
d this course was considered the most eeonom
lcal one.

Among the notable professional men of this
country who have achieved extraordinary
success is DR.. R. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y
The prominence which he has attained has
been reached through strictly legitimate
means, and, so far, therefore, he deserves the
enviable reputation which he enjoys. This
large measure of success is the result of a
thorough and careful preparation for his cali
ing, and extensive reading during long and
unusually large practice, which have enabled
him to gain high commendation, even from
his professional brethren. Devoting his atten-
ton to certain specialties of the science he has
so carefully investigated, he has been reward
ed in a remarkable degree. In these special
ties, he has become recognized leader. Not
a few of the remedies prescribad by him have,
it is said, been adopted and prescribed by
physicians in their private practice His
pamphlets and larger works have been received
as useful contributions to medical knowledge
He has recently added another, and perhaps
more important work, because of more gener-
al application, to the list of his published wri
tings. This book, entitled "The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser" is designed
to enter into general circulation. DIR. Pierce
has received Acknowledgements and hOnori
from many sources, and especially scientific
degrees from two of the first medical institu
tions in the land

LAST week, Dan. w. Huff and Thomas
sale in Wheeling, and while there they were
met by colOred man named VIM. Riley.
with whom they traded pony for horse,
giving SO boot. Finding the market dull
they were vending their way home, and
when near Burley's, they were overtaken by
John Hill, of Bridgeport, and BENZ. R.
Dance, of near Wintersville, Jefferson county,
from whom the horse traded by the colored
man was stolen Monday night of last week
1t seems Riley had lived apart from his wife
for a long while, and had been formerly in
Winterville's bounds. John Lindsey gave
him S2S for John Kirk, but Riley forgot to
doliver it, and has not been seen there since
till overtaken in this theft He was traced
here and hence on to Athens-his pursuers,
John Hill and VIM. Duff, often tracking the
fellow by lantern light, through a drenching
rain, by closely watching the pony's track,
and had the satisfaction of coming up with
him at Athens, safely ensconced in bed with
his wife, with whom he had been again recon-
ciled. But the course of real true love never
was without ripple, and Mr.. Riley's affec-
tions were suddenly Topped by the relentless
paw of an officer, who informed him his pres
ence was wanted elsewhere. Of course Mr.. Ri
ley was astonished, but he reported at the lock-
up till morning, ''alone and forsaken," and
was taken to Bridgeport next day, when he
confessed his guilt He was taken to Steu-
benville. Much credit is especially due John
Hill for his efforts in the case. Duff and
Medley were out their incideptals and time,
but recovered their boot money and pony,
while the horse was restored to his rightful
owner
