PLAIN WoRDs FOR THE PEOPLE. When
broken down in health, strength and
spirits, it is not necessary that we should
ask medical man whether an invigorant
is necessary. Common sense tells us
that it is. The only question to be de-
clded is, what the invigorant shall be. A
standard tonic and restorative, which has
been many years before the public, and
IN which millions of the intelligent classes
repose the fullest faith, seems, in a case
like this, to present the strongest claims
to the confidence of the prudent invalid.

depress the physical system and enervate
the mind, entitle it to the rink Of O stan

that light by the community at large.

Which had so hard time,
Disposing of that diamond ham,
Sought Mary for dime.
Monopoly, 8 for 25 Cents.
1t sailed forth, in anxious haste,
Determined then to spend it;
For speedy cure of pain it felt.
And thought "a smoke" would end It.
Celebrated S Cent Cigars!
To Perry & Slnwson it invoked
The dime to be invested
In something fine, which could be
smoked,
And cause the ham digested.
Unrivalled Half Dime Cigars!
The ''Indian Girl" embraced the limb.
And gave It two cigars;
The lamb, relieved instanter, cried
Hide out, ye little stars"

Lynch law is a dangerous expedi-
ent, and we do not advocate il ex-
cept IN cases of rape, in which in
stance We would reverse the we'll
known maxim and say, &c 1t is better
that ten innocent men should
suffer than that one guilty should
escape" 1t will he remembered
that the teIee raph announced the
other day that five hundred citizens
of Bellefontaine, Ohio, and neigh
boring towns had hanged one James
Schell. charged by his wife with the
ravisbment and murder of a young
girl. named Miss Laughlin. The
poor man persisted in the DECLARE
ton of his own innocence, and
pointed to Mrs. She'll, his wife,
as tho criminal. Subsequent evil
dpnee shows that he told the truth,
and that FIVE hundred law abiding
citize"s of Ohio are murderers.
Mrs. Schell has been arrested, and
will 5e tried for the murder.

disastrous to him. For his weekly
