and the temperance folks. We don't know that there is much in this question, but there arc some who charge that the council is derelict in duty for allowing tip ling saloons after they were voted down by the people last November. We understand the ordinance re quiring saloons to have town li- cense has been repealed, because the council did not think they had the lawful right to issue them since the selling of liquor was voted down. The council should get this matter off their hands some way or other, and not be holding special meetings every few nights for it's consideration alone.

A Valuable New Book.

The glory of the present age is the diffusion of useful information. The appearance therefore of any new publication that bids fair to enlighten the masses still more fully, upon any practical subject, should be regarded as reasonable ground for congratulation. It gives pleasure therefore to call the attention of our readers to Dr. R. V. Pierces forthcoming book en. titled The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser. This work will contain about nine hundred pages, will be well bound, illustrated with about two hundred wood cuts and colored plates, and sent by mail to any address for the unpreccdent
 cslly low price of $l.50. It will DC ready for delivery early in April The Author has become widely and favorably known to the Amer ican as well as the people of sever al foreign nations, through hi' Family Medicines, and as tn, founder of the Worlds Dispensar,

at Buffalo. N. r., established for
 the treatment of Chronic Diseases,
 and now ventures to appear in the
 new role of authorship. From q
 perusal of advance pages, we be-
 lieve the book is calculated to be
 emlnently useful. It embraces a
 wide range of subjects, all of them
 bearing with more or less direct
 ness upon the all-important ques-
 tion of health. Biology, Physiol-
 ogy, the Cerebral Functions, the
 Human Tempcraments, and Fly
 gicnic Treatment, or nursing of the sick, receive that attention
 which their relative importance demands. Physical and Mental Culture, Ventilation, Sleep, Clean liness, Food, Beverages and Cloth ing are practical topics and are treated in practical manner. The use of Water as a Remedial Agent receives the attention which it de serves. Under the head of Rcme. dies for diseases is presented a list of our most useful indigenous medicinal plants, together with their properties and uses and pie torial representations of many of the most important. The appro- priate dose of each remedy is also given. Aftera suitable introduc- tion we have in Part Fourth, Dis eases and their Remedial Treat ment. Almost every disorder that preys upon the human system is here described, together with it's symtoms, causes and treat ment, as far as it is thought safe and advisable for the nonprofes- sional to prescribe. Chronic ail- ments receive special attention. A chapter on Accidents and Emergencies is a very useful feature ofthe book. Besides this, much miscellaneous and profita- ble information is given, which | will make it a genuine wade me cum'' "a convenient companion in l every household. Many a pre- cious life has been lost from the lack of just the knowledge which this work imparts. A healthy | moral sentiment pervades the whole work, and we cordially l commend it as worthy of place in every family.

OUR TOWN COUNCIL.

There has been several special meetings of the town council with in the past week or two-so we understand. We have "turned out" on several occasions to enjoy the honor of hearing the deliberations of this honorable body, but have generally been disappointed; for after waiting until our patience was worn out, for the Marshal to hunt up aquorum, we had to give up and go home without getting any of the treat. It has seemed to us, that some of our aldermen are very negligent, or indifferent about their duties. We know it is thankless and profitless posi- tion to hold, and we are not dis posed to find fault as long as we can help it; but if men accept such positions and hold them, we be- lieve they should not shirk the duties and responsibilities of the office.
 It seems that for some time past the council has been hammering at the liquor question-or rather, that some one has been hammer ing at them to get them to act on this matter. Several meetings have been called for this special purpose, but little headway has been made. On last Friday night the matter was brought up and an ordinance introduced to suppress the sale of liquors in quantities not less than one quart.
 After some alterations anC amendments the matter was post poned until next regular meeting The council seems to be rathel . tender footed on this question, cv idently trying to keep on the pop ular side of both the liquor mel

ATKINS THIS TIME.
Bold and Daring Attempt at
 Burglary.
Tragedy, Almost.

On Monday night of last week, the slumbering citizens of our neighbor town, Atkins, were aroused from their dreams by the sharp, quick report of fire arms, which burst upon the midnight silence, bringing the natives quickly to the locality of the alarm.
 It appears that two bold rob bers had made an attempt to force an entrance into the store of MT. Newton Holderfield. Being unable to overcome the resistance offered by the secure fastenings of the front door, the bold "ban- diti," relinquished their efforts at that point, and proceeded to try their strength and skill on the back door. Strange to say, the reckless fellows struck a light and with perseverance worthy of a better cause, went to work and would soon have been helping themselves to MT. Holderfield's choice family groceries, free--with out money and with out price. But fortunately they were doom- ed to disappointment, for to their chagrin they found they had cal culated without their host; for sleeping in the store was man of cool courage and sagacity- Gov. Wright-who proved him self more than a match for the ''bold banditti;" and who came very near bringing the career of this worthy pair of rogues to a sudden finale. Having been aroused from sleep by the noise, the Gov, when the burglars ap- preached the back door, got up coolly and calmly and with shot gun in hand awaited an opportu nifty to give the gentlemen warm reception. Getting impatient, however, at the bungling and un- skilful manner in which the rogues applied themselves to the task of effecting an entrance, the Governor opened fire on them just to learn them a lesson and to dem- onstrate to them the necessity of acquiring excellence and skill in their occupation, for be it known Mir. Wright is thorough going man, and don't believe in making a DOtcn Ol anyCnlnSs
 On getting q light and examin- ing the situation 1t was found that the scaliwags had came very near making q bad job of it in deed, for the skilful aim Of the Governor although he fired through the door, brought a copious flow of bright red blood.
 The Governor, thinking his lesson would have a sufficiently chastening effect, at least to in duce the scamps to improve their modus operandi, if not to desist from their unlawful pursuit, quiet | ly bade the assembled natives good night, and retired again to his yirtuOus couch.
