The Rev. DR.. Leighton Coleman, of Tole-
do. Ohio, recently elected Episcopal Bishop
OF the Fond du Lac Diocese, gave the fol-
low ing reasons in sermon to his congre-
cation tor declining to accept the bishopric
The chief consideration which weighed
with me, overriding all other considerations
was that the work which Providence has
apparently called me hither to do was not
yet finished, and there seemed to be many
cogent reasons why I should remain to do
it Not that there was anything discourag-
ing Or repulsive in the field to which | was
elected. Had been free to go thither, l
should have found in general diocese

few important particulars many Of her

vineed, a noble future before her, and, in
her welfare, | must always feel very deep
interest. May the divine Head OF the
Church be gracious with her, and enrich
her with all temporal and spiritual bless
ings"

Mrs. Caroline Borchardt and her daughter
Wilhelmine Kruger, are now on trial be-
fore the Jefferson County Circuit Court for
the murder of John Borchardt, husband
of the former On the 3Oth of November,
1874, in the town of Watertown. Or. Pal
mer, a we'll known medical expert of this
state, has testified to the tact that the
blood spots upon the hammer and clothes
were human blood. Or. Spalding testified
that there were FIVE deadly wounds upon
the head of the deceased, which had been
inflicted with some blunt instrument The
evidence against the prisoners is wholly
c;rcumsta ntial. On the part Of the defense
it will be attempted to show that the de-
ceased was killed by an assassin as elaine
by the prisoners The case excites con-
siderable interest and the result of the trial

Local Irregularities produce weakness of
the entire system. In order, therefore, to
re-establish health and strength upon
sure basis, these irregularities must be per-
manentlv overcome. Many persons en-
dsaver to reform them by remedies which
address themselves merely to the symptoms
without affecting the cause. If such in
divlduals were to use instead Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, they would speedily ap-
prec'ate the difference between medicine
which palliates' and one which entirely
removed physical disability. That prime
regulator of bodily disturbances restores
the derelict organs to an uninterrupted and
healthy performance of their various du-

Stop that Cough !!

Many persons hesitate to try a remedy
for disease, on account of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
citing them; while at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the expense
would be the least objection. With this
lact in view, we make the following pro-
position Any person suffering with cold,
cough or sore throat that will call ut F. J.
Schroeter's Drug store and purchase
bottle OF HALE's CoUeH CORDIAL, use one
half of it, and if they then conclude that it
is doing them no good, they oan return the
bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results Don't
