Good Tidings for the Slaves of King
Alcohol.

How many manly form is palsied
how many noble mind is destroyed
how many n priceless soul lost through
the curse of strong drink TO the de-
spairing victims OF the satanic tyrant,
alcohol, whose shattered nerves, and
trembling limbs, and racking headaches,
seem to find no relief except in the re-
newed use of the fatal poison which
brings them every day nearer to their
miserable end, we announce glad tidings
of great joy DIR. Walkers Vinegar
Bitters contain not single drop of alco-
hol in any form, but are sovereign
remedy for the ills Of drunkenness.
They restore tone and strength to the
system, and entirely eradicate the perni
cious appetite for liquor. Try a few
bottles of Vinegar Bitters, and you vii
never crave strong spirits again, but
find your health repaired, your MIND
restored, and be once more man in the
best sense. Health is cheap whe1

Pool Selling.

AS the season for races is upon us,
and we presume many of our readers are
nonplussed by the terms first choice"
" field" etc, we copy the following
from the New York Graphic, explaining
the system of pool-selling:
For many years the most popular sys-
tenn of betting on races and other sport
ing events was by the auction of pools,
or pool-selling, as it it called. This is
so generally understood that only the
most cursory explanation is needed here.
Let us suppose q horse-race in which
several horses engage in the subject OF
speculation. The bookseller offers at
auction what he terms the first
choice" His patrons understand that
this means that bet is to be made Oh
the favorite against every other horse
in the race. "Ill give one hundred dol
lars for first choice" says bettor.
"One hundred dollars is offered" cries
the auctioneer. No one offers more,
and the bettor pays down his money and
secures the right to place it on which
ever horse he pleases. ga" is the
favorite, and he bets on that horse.
"What is offered for the second choiceF"
shouts the auctioneer. Fifty" "
"sixty," 4" seventy" are the cries of the
speculators. "Done at seventy dol
lars" cries the auctioneer, and the sec
ond bettor selects "B" or &c" if he
pleases. Then the third choice is offered
and sold, and last of all the field" or
the group of horses entered in the race,
but whose merits are not well enough
known to guarantee their individual
mention. These four sums Of money
thus risked upon the first, second, and
third choice, and on the "tield con-
stitute "pool," to be turned over,
minus commission for the pool-seller,
to the man who has placed his money on
the horse that wins the race. Each per-
son purchasing pool receives ticket,
duly numbered and recorded by the
auctioneer, bearing the name of the horse
he has selected.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1875-06-17
Chewing n PreScntiment.

A Columbus paper tells of two families
in Stewart county, Ohio, whose lives
were saved by a gentleman obeying a
presentiment he could not resist. He
had foreboding that storm would visit
that section, and that his house would be
in its path. He told others of it, but
they only laughed at him, saying he was
frightened from readiug-and hearing
the accounts of the late cyclones. He
gave cre0ence to the thought, which
would not go down at the bidding, and
dug a hole near the house. He had no
sooner finished it than the storm did
come, and barely had he and his family
sought refuge therein than the tornado
tore his house to pieces. All in the hole
in the ground escaped. The people in
the storm region, and many who are not,
are preparing places of refuge to avoid
the next cyclone.
