On last Thursday we went upon anoth-

On last Thursday we went upon anoth-
er fishing excursion. This time there
were eight children. six women and five
men. We hung up our baskets of pro-
visions on the bank of Salt Creek, below
the residence of John L. Long. and the
women and children baited their hooks
and went to fishing in the creek where
there was good shade, as the day was
hot The men scattered down the creek.
We went to fishing just below the mouth
of Buckeye creek, where the creek was
lined by woods We were all alone, and
wild birds enlivened the solitude. One
mocking bird on the cliffs opposite held
forth continuous song, with boldness
and energy. After couple of hours we
went up to where the dinner baskets
had been left. We built fire, one of
the men brought a bucket of water from
a spring, and the women made coffee,
and spread a cloth upon the grass under
a great tree. got out the provisions, and
we all had most excellent dinner. AT
ter dinner most of the party amused
themselves by fishing. We lay down
upon the grass, in the shade, and rested,
and watched the children running

There is a speck of war in New Hamp-
shire At the election this spring the
rebels were defeated, but, true to the in
stincts of the party, they propose to hold
on to power by fraud. The Legislature
met the first of this week, and the Re
publicans propose not to be swindled,
and hint that if nothing else will do, the
Democratic rebels may have another op-
portunity of dying in the last ditch, or
escaping in petticoats, as their great
President did in their other rebellion.

Three Points for Consideration

During the past five years the VEGETINE
has been steadily working itself into public fa-
vor, and those who were at first most incredu-
lous in regard to its merits are now its most ar
dent friends and supporters.
There are three essential causes for those hav-
ing such a horror of patent medicines, chang
ing their opinion and lending their influence
toward the advancement of VEGETINE. ISt-
1t is an honestly prepared medicine from barils,
roots and herbs. 2d-It honestly accom- plislfes
all that is claimed for il, without leaving any
bad effects in the system. 3d-It presents hon
est vouchers in testimonials from honest, we'll
known citizens, whose signatures a Suffi-
cient guarantee of their earnestness in the mat
ter. Taking into consideration the vast guam
tity of medicine brought conSpicuouSly before
the rublic through the fiaming advertisement
in the newspaper columns with no proof of
merit or genuine vouchers of what it has done,
we should be pardoned for manifesting small
degree of pride in presenting the following tes-
timonial from Rev. j. s. DICKERSON, d. D.,
the popular and ever genial pastor of the South
Baptist Church, Boston:

THE DURATION OF LIFE-The following
facts on the duration of life appear in the
Deutsche Versicherungs Zeitung: "In
ancient Rome, during the period be-
tween the years 200 and 800 A. D., the
everage duration of life among the up
per classes was 80 years. In thespresent
century, among the same classes of peo-
pie, it amounts to so years. In the six
teenth century the mean duration of life
in Geneva was 21.2l years, between 1914
and 1888 it was 40.68 years, and at the
present time as many people live to 70
years of age as 300 years ago lived to the
age of 43.-Scientifc american.
Vice-President Wilson says if the Re-
publicans of Ohio are wise they will force
the gubernational nomination upon old
Ben Wade. AS an outsider we would
tell them the same thing Judge Taft
will develop quite an element of unpopu-
larity on his school decision. No matter
if that decision be right or wrong the
great mass of the people believe it to be
flying in the face of the Bible. Then.
again, the Cincinnati ring is in bad odor.

terms.-Portsmouth Globe.

The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
BOSTON, March l6, 1874


II. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-It is as much from q sense of du.y
as of gratitude that l write to say that your
VEGETINE-even if it is a patent medicine
has been OF great help to me when nothing else
seemed TO avail which could safely use. Eth
er excessive mental work or unusual care
brings upon me nervous exhaustion that deS-
perately needs sleep, but as desperately defies
1t. Night after night the poor, tired body sues
for sleep until the day-dawn is welcomed back,
and we begin our work tired out with an al
most fruitleSs chase after rest. Now l have
found that little VEGETINE taken just be-
tore retire gives me sweet and immediate
sleep, and without any of the effects OF the
usual narcotics. think two things would tend
to make bra1n-workers sleep. 1st-A little less
work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE This
prescription has helped me.
Now have particular horror of "patent
medicine" but have greater horror of being
afraid to tell the straight out truth. The VEG
ETINE has helped me, and own it up.
Yours, &C.,

The Eureka (Neyada) Sentinel says;
Some years ago, John Mackey, of the
firm of Mackey & Fair, and an equal
partner with Flood g. OBrlen, of San
Francisco, used to carry his bucket and
work on the lowest levels for 81 per day.
By a fortunate. streak of luck in stock
ventures he suddenly acquired very
healthy bank account. 1t was about
this time that he did something in the
way OF stock transaction to displease
Sharon; who was then manager of the
Bank of California Agency in Virginia
City. Sharon became very much exer-
cised over the affair, and in the course of
a very wordy altercation which ensued,
impertinently said to Maekey, II will
make it my business to see that you
again resume the packing OF your dinner
bucket at "a per day." At all events,
this is the way the story went at the
time. Now, JOHN Mack ey is the richest
man on the Pacific coast, while Sharon,
by the failure OF the Bank of California,
must be seriously crippled, If not, in
deed, embarrassed beyond recovery.
And it may be that the very identical
and ill-adsised threat had much to do
with bringing On the present calamity.

A MOVEMENT was recently set on foot
in London to bring about the shipment
Olive St OK from this COUNT y to Europe.
This is no doubt the result Of the rapid
development during the past few years
of the business of shipping cured meats
to the European markets. During the
last five years the increase in bacon and
hams is from 50. s5s, 900 to $2s,611, $50. In
lard the exports have increased during
the same period from $4,222, 900 to $22,-
800, ,4s6. The exports of hog products
have increased four-fold in five years.
The prospects are that the beef trade
will be fully equal in proportion TO this.
The West and South are particularly
adapted to stock raising, and there is no
reason why the foreign countries should
not be dependent uponthe United States
for their beef-steak as well as other arti-
cles of food, and aid in supporting her
laboring population in this as well as
other particulars. ~ .Ir,..,.,.r .,.,
