AN UNHAPPY ATTACHMENT.-A painful
scene occurred in church in Bucks town
ship, o., fow Sundays ago. The church
had lately undergone repair. Among other
improvements a new coat Of paint was placed
on the pews, followed by coat of varnish
the result was most pleasing to the eye, but
unfortunately the varnish had been applied
so late 10 the week that it had not had time
to become hard before Sunday, when the
congregation focked to tkeir seats. No APP
parent inconvenience was suffered until the
clergyman was about TO deliver the benedic-
ton, when the congregation were Mortified
tn iud that they were unable to stand up
they were. in fact, glued, or rather varnish-
ed, to their seats. Their spasmodic efforts
to rise were most distressing to witness in
vain did the clergyman exhort them from
the pulpit to resignation. They were seized
with kind Of panic, all the more frightiul
because they were for the moment powerless !;
at last, by what seemed to be a simuta.
neouS and herculean jerk, they managed to
tear themselves from their sittings but at
what sacrifice The pews were literally
covered with fragments of Sunday apparel.
Shreds of silk, lawns, Calico broadoloth aud
cassimeres were left as souvenirs of the var
nish used in identifying that church, and
the hapess congregation, rushing from the
doors, hurried homeward with an expression
on their faces as though their hearts were
even more severely rent than their garments

A Notable Falsehood.

Although we called attention to the de-
ccptive character of that vile compound
known us Vinegar Bilters" some months
since, in an article on "bitters' in general,
we agnin refer TO the same pernicious article,
rs there may be many who read this number
that did not read the former article.
Although the present is AN age when false
hood has come to be regarded as an oflense
so trivial us to be scarcely worth mention
ing, the following paragraph which is APP
pearing in the papers just ut present is so
contemplate in character, being one of tho
many deceptive means Of advertising adopt
ed by quacks, that we deem 1t worthy of ex-
posture:
CAN 1T BE TRUE?-Withn the last few
months considerable number of persons
have called upon DIR. Walker, the proprietor
OF the popular medicine known as Vinegar
Bttcrs, and assured him that, in their belief,
his preparation Is an infallible antidote for
rum and tobacco. Tho minute details which
have been furnished him forbid him to doubt
the accuracy OF the statements. This new
claim of great remedy to the confidence of
the public will give vnst and wel-deserv-
ed impulse to its popularity. Heretofore,
the Bitters have been recognized us pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of hl-
cOhol, and thoroughly adapted to the cure Of
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous dis
orders, bilious affections, muscular diseases,
and indeed majority of the ailments within
the reach OF medicine; but If it will also
cure the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and theologians
ought to unite their voices IN lis praise. Can
the good news be trueP 1t is easy to test the
question.
Indeed 1t is not true, hut ~ notable false
hood !" or, rather, collection of falsehoods.
In tho first place, neither "Vinegar Bitters"
nor any other kind of "bitters" can be an
antidote for rum and tobacco. The only an
tidote for these poisons is moral courage and
total abstinence. The substitution of the
word substitute for "antidote" would have
the effect to transform an untruth into Ia
mentnblc truth Vinegar Bittors" is very
excellent substitute for rum or any other
alcoholic liquor for the simple reason that it
is itself composed of alcohol. Several
months ago the State Assayer of New York
published a report in which he gave the
amount Of alcohol contained in these So
called temperance bitters" rs equal to that
contained in an equal quantity Of many
kinds of wine, and double that contained In
various brands OF ale. The statement, then,
that this filthy liquid contains no alcohol is
gross misrepresentation Of facts.
Our advice to all who value their health
is TO let alone all kinds of "bitters." They
are merely liquor in disguise, and are ha-
bitually used by many who call themselves
temperance men and so do not take wine or
whlskey. -HediH Rcfo,mcr.

A BET ON SPEED.-A short time since Lo.

ing horse speed at Trull's hotel, when Ocutt
put on more airs than Ball thought was
proper for the speed Of his horse. "Pooh :"
says Ball, 81 can go from here to Loren
Huntleys afoot, quicker than your fast horse
can trOt up there" "Ill bet you s. on
that" says Olcott with temper rising. "I'll
take the bet, " replied Ball, "only you shall
go the same way do" The terms were ac-
cepted, and in minute moro Olcott's rig
was at the door, with the driver fierce for a
start. Ball took the road and started back
wards, bidding Olcott to end his rig around
aud come on. Ocott claimed foul and threw
up the sponge. The subject was referred to
Gen. GrOut, who happened to be present,
aud after an extended investigation, the
court got dry aud brought in that both par
ties should treat the crowd. This ended the
matter aud also put an effectual estoppel up
on OlCOtts bOasting Of the speed of his old
