A SECOND FATHER MArTHEw-Who Is
there that does not respect the memory Of
Father Matthew, the great champion Of
temperance Innumerable societies bear
his honered name hut there is one man
who has struck more sure dcath-blOw to
intemperance, and that man is DIR. j.
WALKER, an old California physician,
who has discovered in natures "meek
and lowly herbs" a medicinal tonic"
and gentle stimulant that completely takes
the place Of the fashionable alcoholic
poisons called "tonics,' so popular as a
compromise between strong drink and
cold water, and does away with the mania
for drink, and in reality cultivates an in
voluntary disgust for the same. 1t even
does more: 1t acts upon the entire plHsi-
cal system, purifies the blood, and pro-
duces hale, hardy health. The discoverer
of this great medicinal stimuant is surely
entitlec1e the thanks Of whole nation,
and tits not extravagant to entitle him "a

" HoRsE-MEN," and others who pretend
to know, say that the following directions
had better be observed in using Sheridan's
Cdyalry Condition Popders: Give a horse a
tablespoonful every night for a week; the
same every other night for four or six nights;
the same for a mich COW and twice as much
for an OK. The addition of little fine salt
will be an advantage.

DECnERD, Dec. G, 1875.

DEcnERD, Dec. C, 1876.
Editor Home Journal:
Since my last to the "grcat and good
Journal nothing very interesting has
turned up in and around this town.
Quite Il number Of young folks
amnse themselves occasionally by
shaking the fantastic" at a pretty
lively rate. Capt. Joe Lenehan and
Mr.. j. W, Brown have given two or
three "shake ups quite recently, and
the young folks enjoyed themselves
"hugely."
The young men, assisted by some of
the older ones, organized q Debating
Club about two months ago, which is
getting to be quite interesting, and if
the thing keeps on prospecting Decherd
will turn out more young orators than
would "patch Congress a mile"
Quite n number of the good farmers
in this ncighborhood have not finished
sowing their wheat yet, owing to the
%inclemcncy Of the weather, and a good
many are not through gathering their
corn crops.
The Cowan Grange gave a splendid
pic. mic last Saturday, the 4th instant, it
being the anniversary of the Order.
The citizens of the neighborbood gen
orally were invited, and also two or
three of the neighboring Oranges
Col. j. o. Griffith was on hand, by in
vitation, and instructed the Grange in
the secret workings of the Order, after
which he delivered a most telling and
effective speech to the whole audience,
interspersed with numerous anecdotes,
which kept the crowd in quite a lively
humor. After the speaking, a bounti'
full repast was spread by the ladies.
The table was fairly loaded with
cakes, pies, custards, tarts, and,
in fact, everything that the appctites
could wish for: and the ladies--"all
praise be to them,"-know just exactly
how to fix up things when it comes to
the table department. We looked
around to see if friend Slater was
there, but alas. his manly form was
not visible; but we could imagine him
standing before that table, and things
vanishing like pouring into n corn
Col. MoffatJ gave q short
in the evening, which was very
interesting indeed. The crowd then
dissolved, and everybody went home.
Yours, y.
