He has three boys, and had a good dog and
sachel. He bought double -barreled shot
gun, that the boys might learn to shoot. They
started out-the boys and the dog and the
gun. The oldest was to do the shooting; the
second carry the gun; the youngest, the Sachel,
well filled with crackers, cheese, sandwiches,
and bologna. A rabbit was flushed. and busl-
ness commenced The gunniest made whirl
and pulled the trigger just in time TO shoot
the whole coat tail from the sachel boy, and
at the same fire made young tunnel right
through the sachel. The dinner was also rem
dered worthless mess. Entirely oblivious to
all around him the shootist still thought he
must shoot, and did shoot second time at
the rabbit The rabbit skipped on, but the
dog didn't. He was poor busted up dog.
The boys shed few tears over him-left him
and the dinner on the field-pronounced their
hunt anything but snccess-and went home.
That gun is for sale.

So nearly perfect are the recipes of these
wonderful pain-soothing and Centaur Lin1>
ments that we c,n confidently say they Will
alLeridfe any pain arising from flesh, bone or
muscle arrangements. We do not pretend
that they will mend broken leg or e1feTniinate
boiIs, but'even In such cases they will reduce
the Inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can
we guarantee the proper results where the bo-
dy Is poisoned by tChisky. Temperance is as ne
cessaIy to a proper physical, as mental condi-
ton.
The White Centaur Lirinent is particularly
adapted to ali cases of rheumatism, Lumbago
Ery sipelas, Itch, SprdinS, Chilblains, cuts
Bruises, Stings Poisons, Scalds, Sciatica, Weak
Back, Pains in the side, Wounds, Sinews,
Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy, Earache, Headache,
Ulcers, Old Sores, Broken Breasts, Sore Mp
pies Sore Throat, Group, Diptheria, etc. The
most of there complaints the Centaur Lint-
ment will cure; all of them it Will benene. IL
will extract the poison from biles and stings,
and will cure burns and Scdlds without scar.
The foil, wing is but a sample OF a thousand
testimonials:

Ir is said that Boneparte always wore a
gloom on his countenance corresponding with
the weather. j. ]. Barr, travelling agent for
the Republic Printing Company, Springfield,
Ohio, don't do that. He staid over Sunday
and Monday at the ''St. Clair" and he made
things anything else than gloomy about him.
He is the funniest man on the road. lie can
sing more songs, preach more sermons tell
more yarns, sell fewer books and more people
than we care to tell about. The only discrep-
ancy we find about him, is a scarcity of the

THE Presbyterian and Methodist Sabbath
Schools received a visit from Santa Claus, on
Christmas Eve, and numerous good things were
distributed to young and old. The Tree at
the Methodist Church was exceptionally
handsome, and showed more than ordinary
taste in IFS arrangement. The "set ont" at
the Presbyterian festival was elegant, and the
tree while in point of beauty not up to the
Methodist tree, was beautiful, containing
many pretty things. Both schools had a
right merry time.
