Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bronchitis,
Consun nptiOn-A Wonderful Cure.


N. 4..J
r. " PIERCE, NJ D., Buffalo, n. Y:
DEAR SIR-I had suffered from Catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years and for
several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried
many doctors and things with no lasting benefit.
In May, '72, becoming nearly worn out with
excessive editorial labors ON paper in New
York city, attacked with Bronchitis in
severe form, suffering almost total loss OF
voice. returned home here, but had been
home only two weeks when was completely
prostrated with hemorrhage from the lungs.
hdcing four seue7'e bleeding spells tcittin tlco
1ceeks, and first three inside of mine dogs. In
the September following, improved sufficiently
to be able to be about, though IN very feeble
state. My Bronchial trouble renamed and the
Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every
effort for relief seemed fruitless / seemed to
be losing ground daily. continued in this
feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about
the first of March, 49, when became so bad as to
be entirely confined to the house. A friend
suggested your remedies But was extremely
skeptical that they would do me good, as
had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look
upon medicine and doctors with disgust. How
ever, obtained one of your circulars, and read
! it carefully, from which / to the con-
clusion that you understood your business, at
least. I finally obtained a quantity of DIR.
Sages CatarTh Remedy, your Golden Medical
Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their
vigorous use according to directions. To my
surprise, soon began to improve. The Dis
covery and Pellets, in short time, brought ont
severe eruption, which continued Tor several
weeks. I felt much better. my appetite I'M
proUed and gained in strength and flesh. In
three months every vestige of the Catarrh was
gone. the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared,
had no cough whatever, and had entirely ceased
to raise blood and, contrary to the expectation
of some of my friends, the cure has remained
permanent. have had no more hemorrhaSes
| from the lungs, and am entirely free from
Catarrh from which had suffered SO much and
SO long. The debt of gratitude owe for the
blessing have received at your hands, knows
no bounds. am thoroughly satisfied, from
my experience that your medicines will master
| the worst forms of that odious disease Catarrh,
as well as throat and lung diseases. have
recommended them to very many, and shall
ever speak in their praise.
Gratefully yours, VIM H. SPENCER

An OrD Br4ADE.-Joaha L. Paget, of
Cornish Flat, n. H., still shaves himself
with razor which was the only one used
by his father, who got it of an old man
eighty years of age, who In turn bought
it when he was young for sixpence at q
pawnbrokeris shop in the city Of Glas-
gow It was an old razor then. Mrs.
Paget he's looking glass which was
brought into Cornish about 113 years
ago, and has been In use ever since. It
is seven by ten inches in size, is sound,
and seems good for another hundred
years.

FARM AND HOME.
A USE FOR FERNS.


Every country neighborhood has woods
which are full of ferns and brakes,
which usually die and go to seed without
doing any good save as qualification to
the sense of sight The softer parts, if
stripped from the stems and dried in the
sun, retain their toughness and elasticity
for a long time, and are said to be supe-
rior to straw and husks, and even to IS ex-
calslor, for stufing mattresses The
ticks when filed should be stitched
firmly with a mattress-needle, using
strong linen twine, and making the in
tervals between stitches about an eighth
of yard.

PUTNAM's VEsr.-Mrs. William Perry,
living near Deer Creek Meeting House,
by Gen. Israel Putnam when he made
his escape from the British soldiery, in
his ride down the stone steps, near Siam
ford, Conn, in 1779, where, with $50
militia, he was opposing 1,5OO British
under Tryon. The rebels were forced to
retreat, Putnam staying till the last.
Being hard pressed and fired upon, he
galloped down steep rock, in which
nearly 100 steps had been cut for people
to ascend going to church. Mrs. Perry
is the grandniece of Gen. Putnam, and
received the vest from her mother. 1t

HOWE'S GREAT LONDON CIR.
Gus,
At Grand Rapids, Thursday Au-
gust 9Th.

Public expectation as to the excel
lence of Howe's great circus had been
raised high by the generous ADVERTISE
ing done by the management. Great
things were promised, and the antic-
ipations of the public were Of some
thing unusually good. Had the reality
been short of the promise there would
have been disappointment, but the
bills have not exaggerated the merits
of the exhibition. The procession
yesterday was one Of the most attrac
tive seen in the city for some time,
and was admired by numbers of our
citizens. The chariots are very
handsome, indeed. They represent.
according t. the prevailing fashion,
the nations of the earth, or some of
them, and are gorgeous in gliding.
The horses appear to be in good con-
dition and the whole street parade is
bright and fresh.
The matinee attendance was large,
and surprise and pleasure were ex-
pressed at the variety and excellence
of the managerie. Among the other
things to be seen are the finest tigers
ever shown in Chicago. There are
eight of them altogether, and five give
a performance in the ring. The other
three are little bits of fellows, month
old, who have the distinguished honor
of being the first ever born into cap
tivity in travelling managerle. Through
the kindness of Mr.. Toole and the
keeper, a Tribune reporter was allowed
to carry one of the little fellows, and
enjoy the sensation of holding tiger.
The cubs are about AS big as full-grown
cats, and display the same tendency to
play that kitten Of the same age
would. A year or two hence people
will not be carrying them around quite
so recklessly. There are, moreover,
FIVE performing elephants, and five
performing hyenas, besides capital
assortment of other animals The
performance in the ring was equally
noticeable. The equestrian feats are
daring and graceful, and the clowns
amusing without descending to coarse
ness or giving offense, and the
gymnastic talent worthy of the ex-
hibition. The performance OF Mr..
Q Rrien, in his somersault over five
elephants. and double somersault over
three, is an act never excelled in the
sawdust ring. The performance of
the Indians is amusing, and not too
long. The pyramid performance of
the five elephants is something often
talked of and seen on paper, but very
few people have seen it actually done,
1t is done and we'll done at the circus
on the lake front. The performing
dogs Of Mr.. Conrad, the exhibition of
savage animals. and other features of
the show, mark it as one of the best on
the road. The procession this morning

1t is Finished"

Two thousand years ago these words
were uttered upon Calvery by the
grandest man the world has ever looked
upon, and whether we acknowledge or
deny his divinity, we cannot refuse to
accept him as grand teacher of the
hallowed principles of the Father
a pure expounder of the Truth, and a
most holy representative of all the
grand and beautiful attributes of God.
ut is finished is now spoken by an
other whom we believe to be one of
the truest and grandest of the
age, after six months crucifxtion by
as wicked-yea wickeder man than
stretched the bleeding form of the Son
of God upon the cross of Calvary.
The long, tedious and terrible trial is
at an end The judge no longer sits,

Perhaps this is none of our bust
ness, and perhaps, too, it is: What
we want to know is why in the name
of good sound sense our County Board
don't call meeting 1t would seem
that a session could not longer be we'll
avoided, but only the Lord knows
when they will come together. There
are score of things demanding their
attention. The vital interests of the
county, financial and otherwise, call
for session at once. Perhaps some
body is afraid, or perhaps the pins are
not all set. How is it? IF there is
sand enough in the several members
composing the new board, let there be
a meeting called at once.

The present city of Centralia and the town
of Port Edwards comprised the town of Centralia
in 1870
The gain in the city of Grand
Rapids is relatively small, being only
26 per cent, while that of the whole
county is about So per cent.
We know the disappointment all
our citizens will feel in learning the
small amount of our population in
the city. Fourffths will alIege that
the census has been but indifferently
taken, but the city clerk assures us
that every house has been visited
and that the figures must be correct.
In our figures last week as to the
population of 1870, we made egregi-
Gus mistakes, which are corrected in
the above table.
