plies to our remarks upon his last
communication. The correspondence
which no alludes to as having been
endorsed by rs, because we made no
comments, came in and was published
in the DAILY COURIER on Tuesday,
and our WEEKLY containing 1t came
out early Wednesday morning. We
did not comment upon 1t because it
was not convenient, and because we
did not desire to awaken . contro-
versy upon the liquor question. That
we could not be considered a. endors.
ing the views of all our correspond
ents, though not commenting upon
them, 10 too evident . proposition for
MS to spend moment's time over.
We made no fling at Mr.. Dudley In
saying that our respect for the good
sense of that gentleman was such that
we thought he was aware Of all this.
From his present article we adduce the
proof that the mere publication Of our
correspondence letter without COM
ment was not the cause Of the conclu-
sion which Mr.. Dudley came to, but
the publications Of the COURIER in .
former controversy with that gentle
man, was the cause. That controversy
originated In IN attack made by the
gentleman ON paragraph local in our
columns, touching case that occurred
here from the baleful effects OF com.
paratively free whisky In our midst.
In that controversy we did express re-
greet at the lamentable failure Of our
present laws in . good portion Of the
State, to lessen the evils Of intemper.
ance, and did further express the view
that some legislation upon this sub
ject might better the present condition
Of things. We have only to ssy in ad-
dition, that We are ready to give .
fair trial to any reasonable scheme Of
legislation that shall give promise to
lessen the terrible effects Of intemper-
snce, let it be what il may, and We are
constrained TO believe that in regard
10 this question, that just the same
provisions for oil portions Of the State
are not the best. We have never nm.
dertaken to define just what course
would be the best, but have said that
evidently the present law Wa, practi.
cally, . dead letter in many portions
of the State. We have never made the
method to be pursued to restrain by
law the evils Of intemperance, test
Of Republicanism. We sre unwilling
to do 20 now. We are satisfied that
such an Issue would very seriously,
indeed, impair the efficiency Of the Re-
publican party, and that the best inter.
ests Of society, Of the State, and Of the
nation ought not to b thus leopard
lied. We believe that the Republican
party has everywhere done wisely In
discarding 1t - an issue. The Demo
cratic party can make it. an issue, for
whoever heard of . bolt in that party
when it flung to tho breeze the real
name of Democracy, no matter what
Its principles? Not even . national
resolve of the Democratic party to
trail the old flag in the dust and lay
down our arms in the face Of rebellion,
could break in pieces the Democratic
party. II our friend Dudley desires
to make . test Of prohibition against
any other scheme, though 1t may In.
clude . partial or total license system,
he can do 90, of course, but We do not
deem It wise.

Every year increases the popularity
Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stiinu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
by its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAIR DREssING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy an
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer Of Massachusetts,, says, aThc
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and I
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
SO remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. BY curing Coughs, the
forerunners Of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptcal. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met ut first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwisc to be without it. As a safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product Of long, labor;ous, and
successful chemical investigation no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

ago by Messrs. T. P. Smith, r. NJ. Laf-

Bliss and Mr.. H. L. Hall, subsequently
becoming interested in the proprietory.
The factory is very fine building, As

located on the side of the L. s. an. S.

accommodations. The company manu-

Their excellent manufacture since the
outset Of the business, having increased
from the humblest beginning to the ax-
tent of some $3.50, 900 year, their goods
being now equally appreciated and pat
ronized from Maine to Kansas, Florida,
Georgia andeven shipped, (not unfrs-
lquently) to Europe. Some 20. to 30,
different kinds of pumps are here made,
and the factory may be said to possess
every modern appliance, machinery and
an adequate complement of skilled
workmen to produce 200 pumps per day.
