Mayor Richardson's friends are apologizing
for this large expenditure, which will aggre-
gate $95,0OO for the year, on the ground
that he is not responsible. The apology can
not be accepted. First, he was chairman of
the Street Committee and should have kept
run OF the business; second, the Street Com
missioner cannot make permanent repairs
without the written order of the Street Com
mittee; and, third, the Mayor with his two
party associates constitute half of the Com
mittee and consequently were able to defeat
any order that they did not deem expedient.

What I Know About Vegetine.
SorrTH RosTON Nav O. 1870

H. R. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir-I have had considerable experience with
the VEGETINE. For dyspepsia, general debility and
impure blood, the VEGETINE is superior to anything
which have ever used. 1 commenced taking VEGFe-
TINE about the middle of last winter and after using
few bottles, it entirely cured me of dyspepsia and
my blood never was in so good condition as at the
present time. 1t will afford me pleasure to give any
further particulars relative to what I know about
this good medicine to any one who will call or ad-
dress me at my residence 1856 Athens street.
Very respectfully,

All Diseases of the Blood.

If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse purify and
cure such diseases restore the patient to perfect
dies, suffering for years. is it not conclusive proof if
you are a sufferer, you can be curedp Why is this
medicine performing such great cures? 1t works in
the BLOOD in the circulating fluid. 1t can truly be
called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of
disease originates in the bood and medicine that
does act directly upon it, to purify and renovate
has any Just claim upon public attention.

A WISE JUDGE.-Wben Judge
Grover succeeded Judge MuIlett as
Justice of the Supreme Court of Pen
usyIvauia, a prisoner was brought TO
The bar for stealing valuable sheep.
The case was very clear against him,
but his counsel, by some ingenious
management, caused several jurors TO
believe that he was not guilty. After
an absence of an hour or two, they
came into court and announced that
they were unable to agree. The judge,
with a look of surprise, inquired if
they failed to agree on the facts of the
case or the effects of the facts. The
foreman replied that they were unable
to agree on the main features OF the
ease-lha: q number of the jurors
did not think the man guilty. Well
said the judge, when you went out
the court thought you would agree in
about fifteen or twenty minutes, the
facts of the case being simply these
This fellow had nomutton of his own;
a: q certain time the proof shows
that he had plenty of mutton ; about
that time the complainant's sheep
were missing when the fellow was
asked whether he got the mutton he
lied about it, rs the proof shows.
Now, gentlemen. you can retire, and
if you cannot agree on this evidence
come in and the court will discharge
YOU; bat we shall consider it our
duty TO tell you TO 60 home and
build your sheep pens so high that
sheep-thieves can't crawl over be-
tween competent jurors and sheep
thieves you will lose all your sheep
1t is needless. perhaps, to add that,
after this supplementary charge, the
jury agreed.
