The Wear and Tear of City L ife.

The wear and tear of city life are a severe tax
upon the strongest constitutions. The hurry
and hustle and anxieties of business keep the
nervous system in a state of unnatural tension
during business hours, and in the end impair
the elasticity and vigor of the vital organiza-
ton. The penalty of all undue excitement is
subsequent exhaustion. The best remedy for
1t, whatever the cause, is Hostetter's Stomach

sist upon the disuse of all stimulants. This, to
ay the least of it, is irrational. All competent
physicians admit that pure medicated stimu-

remedy for sea-sickness. The nausea and
retching caused by the pitching and rolling of
a vessel at sea paralyzes the bodily and mental
energies, and those who suffer from it would do
well to resort to the Bitters as a means of sure

Reading Club.

Reading on last Friday evening was
well attended and very interesting. The
first reader of the evening was D. Mack
ley, who read several extracts, beginning
with those of a serious nature, and clos
ing with some of an amusing character.
j. w. Longbon then followed with few
well selected recitations, which were de-
llVered in a clear tone and impressive
style. Miss Jessie Miller next read a de-
scription of Five Bachelors Keeping
House" The author of the piece was
one of the five, or at least had made the
attempt to keep house himself The de-
scription was true, no doubt, to a demon
stration Miss Lib. Gardner read the
Mothers Sacrifice, and Aunt Tabitha;"
both pieces were well read
We are glad to see our young ladies
taking part in these profitable exercises.
The reading was one of the most inter-
esting we have had, and it is to be hoped
that all in the future will be such.
The bugs were a little troublesome to
some of the readers, but as we are hav-
ing such s0arna weather, these animals
must be endured
Mr.. Mackley's endeavors to protect
himself from their friendly flights around
hlm, were amusing to some of the boys.
The following persons are on duty for
the next evening: Irvine DUNCAN, H
L. Chapman, Rev. J. H Acton, Mrs.
lone Jones, Miss Frank Carrick, James
Trip, and Sammy Longbon.
Don't let the bugs keep you away.

OBITUARY.

MARvIN.-Dr. Timothy Marvin was born on
the 9th day of January, A. D. 1872 at Letart
Falls, Meigs county, Ohio, and came with his
parents to Bloomfield township, in Jackson
county, Ohio, in the seventh year of his age,
where he remained the principal part of the
remainder of his lifetime. In an early day he
studied the science of medicine, under DR.. Ga
briel McNeal, to whom he became warmly at
tached; afterwards completed his course under
John Eberle, NJ. D., of Cincinnati. He COM
menced the practice of Medicine in the year
1898, and soon became useful man. In the
year 1887 he was married to Matilda johnson,
of Highland county, (who still survives him)
and he continued the practice of medicine, and
by his industry and skill, won to himself an
extensive practice, which he retained up to the
time of his death. As physician, much might
be said in his favor; but suffice to say, that but
few, if any, were ever better received as ply
sician than he was, in the field of his Iabors !;
always willing, and often administering to the
wants of the afflicted and unfortunate, without
the expectation or hope of any temporal re-
ward; being moved by higher motives, and
sense of duty toward his tellow-man.
He was firm believer in the truths contained
in the Bible, and often when not otherwise en-
gagged in his practice, was found perusing and
studying its sacred pages, and frequently spoke
of the uncertainty of human life, and of his
hope to reap the full enjoyment of the life that
is beyond the JORDAN. DIR. Marvin was kind
and good neighbor; his doors were open, and
his table spread, to all who might chance to
call he was charitable to the poor. The Doc
tors constitution and health had been feeble
for some years past, and during the extreme
cold weather of the last winter, his health
would not permit him to travel, nor since that
time, except in cases of urgent necessity. On
or about the last of April, 1875, Dr. Marvin was
called upon to make his last visit; he remarked
that he felt unable for the task, but for that
spirit which was due to his nature, resolved to
make it if he fell by the way. He made the
visit, but was unable to return. He was brought
home the next day in a carriage, where he re-
ceived the kind treatment of his companion
and children, who were all present, Except
those who had passed on before) up to the 5th
day of May. A. D. 1875, at about the hour of 10
o'clock, while resting in the arms of his COM
panion, fell asleep in Christ, in the sixty-fourth
year of his age. He bore his Affections without
complaint, and with patience. The funeral
services took place on the 9th, conducted by
Rev. Abraham Cartlich, of the NJ. E. Church.
A large and attentive audience assembled on
the occasion. His body was deposited in the
family burial ground, on the farm of his resi-
be transpIanted in that heavenly mansion, to
dwell with angels of light forever.

They were June bugs. They do not cul-

There is tobacco enough used in that
