Centaur
Liniments,

The lame can be healed and the wounded
made whole. We now know Just what the Cen
taur Liniments will do. They will not mend
broken bones or cure Cancer, but they will
extract soreness, allay pain, cure rheumatism
and larger range Of flesh, bono and muscle
ailments than any article ever before discov-
cred.
Scientific skill cannot go beyond the effects
OF these remarkable preparations. Chronic
Rheumatpsm Of many years standing.
Neuralgia, Weak Back, Fever Sores, weeping
Sinews, sciatlca, Caked.Breasts, Distorted
Joints and Sprained Limbs OF the worst kind
are cured by the White Centaur Liniment
1t Will destroy the pain and heal without
scar all ordinary Burns and scalds. 1t Will
extract the poison OF Bites and stings, and the
frost from Frozen Limbs. 1t is very efncaclous
for Ear-ache, Tooth-ache, Itch and Cutanoous
EruptiOns.
Mr.. Josiah Westake, OF Marysville, o., writes:
"For years my rheumatism has been so bad
that have been unable to stir from the house.
The first three bottles OF Centaur Eminent
enabled me TO walk without my crutches. l
am mending rapidly. | think your Liniment
simply marvel"
H.Bennett, Druggist, Rock Prairie, mo- says:
"Centaur Liniment sells better and gives the
best satisfaction OF anything In the market"
What the Centaur Linlmeat has done for
others 1t will do for you. 1t is handy, 1t is re-
liable, and 1t is cheap.
The Yellow lCentaur Liniment
is worth It's weight In gold to owners OF horses
and mules.
This Linlment has cured more Sprained,
Sweenied, Ring-boned and called Horses
In three years than have all the Farriers in the
| country in an age. Its effects are simply won
derful.
We have thousands upon thousands Of GER
tincates as strong as the following:

A Horrible Death.

About a month ago, says the Cecil
(Md.) Democrat, Alexander Scott,
farmer living near Cherry Hill, indulg-
ed in an exchange of horses. The horse
he secured was a fine.looking animal,
but at the time was suffering from some
disease of the head. Mr.. Scott believed
it to be " distemper," and did not
object to running the risk. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Scott's hand began to
infame from slight wound on the
back of it, and became in few days
very ugly ulcer, causing him great
deal of pain. Last week he became
sick of fever, and DR.. Carter was call
ed in. He found the patient suffering
from fever, but detected nothing differ
ent from an ordinary case of intermit-
tent fever, and prescribed the usual
remedies. DR.. Carter having occasion
to leave home, and the fever not abat-
ing, DIR. Ellis, of Elkton, was asked to
attend Mr.. Scott. At DIR. E. $ first Wis
it, last Saturday, he prescribed for in
termittent fever, having first inquired
about the sore hand, and being told
that it had nearly healed The next
day, however, he found Mr.. Scott suf-
fering with a raging fever and covered
with ssbutton farcy." The disease was
Enthusiastically "glanders, and had
been communicated from the glandered
horse through the break in the skin of
the hand. Mr.. Scott suffered the most
fearful agony and delirium throughout
the day and into the night of Sunday,
when death ensued. Cases of persons
suffering from "glanders - are very
rare, but occur often enough to remind
horsemen that the proper way TO deal
with horse suffering from this fatal
disease is to have him killed at once.
A horse may have chronic "glanders -
md live a long time, keep fat and work
without difficulty, yet innoculate man
and beast with the deadly virus that is
slowly sapping his existence.

Married on a Train.

The Little Valley (Cattaraugus Coun-
ty, N. Y.,) Republican of the 9th inst.
says: An interesting episode took place
on train No. II yesterday. A young
couple matrimonially inclined had ar
ranged to be married at the Congrega-
tional parsonage, and then take train
No. -. Rev. Mr.. Stewart, who had
delayed his visit to the Centennial
couple of days in order to officiate, was
to take the same train. The roads were
bad, and the couple did not arrive at
the appointed time, and Mr.. Stewart
had to hurry to the depot to catch the
train. No. II came, and the couple
were still behind, but Conductor Mari
tin kindly held the train for few mo-
ments, and they were finally received
on board. After the train started a
hurried consultation was held, and it
was decided to have the ceremony per-
formed at once. Conductor Martin was
authorized to invite the passengers to
witness the ceremony, and the invita-.
ton was promptly accepted. The hap
Ply couple stood up, Mr.. Stewart made
a few appropriate remarks on the re-
sponsibility of the marriage relation,
the usual questions, and
then, while the train was running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour, pronounced
Mr.. DeForest w. Roberts and Miss
Mary A. Plat to be man and wife. The
ceremony was short but impressive, and
at the close the happy couple received
numerous congratulations, which were
both feryent and sincere.

JONES says that the white flannel suit

much use in his family. Jones weighs
$50 pounds, and when he bought it, it
fitted him remarkably well. After the
first washing, his eldest son, who weighs
100 pounds less than Jones, Senior,
found it an excellent fit. Two wash
ings more made the garment delightful
for a youth of 9, and at the end of the
season the baby was adorned with the

A Bright Horse and a Stupid
One.

The Boston Journal relates the fol-
lowing: Among the many horses
owned by the Highland Street Railway
Company is one who used to give the
hostlers deal of trouble by slipping
his halter and roaming at will about
the stable. TIE halter was on each
occasion buckled on as tightly as posi-
BILE, but to no purpose, for the horse
would invariably be found half an hour
afterward making a dignifed tour of
the stable. This became monotonous
to the hostler, and he determined to as
certain the modus operandt by which
his equine friend secured his liberty.
Again the halter was tightly buckled
on, and taking q seat where he could
watch his troublesome charge, he wait
ed developments. Pretty soon horse
who stood beside the troublesome one
was observed to poke his nose into his
neighbours stall and, catching the end
of the halter-strap between his teeth, he
pulled at it. His first, second, and
third attempts to unloose the buckle

perseverance the horse returned to his
work repeatedly, and finally out drop
ped the buckle-tongue, the throat-strap
fell and the horse of inquisitive mind
was soon stalking about the stable again.
A change of location was of course a
necessity. A large, homely, piebald
gelding owned by this company, ed
to manifest strange regard for a white
mare he formerly worked beside.
In the stable he was hitched
with rope halter, and, until a
chain was substituted, he used to gnaw
off his halter, march deliberately to the
stall occupied by his mate, and squeeze
himself into the same stall, which was
only large enough to accommodate one
horse comfortably, and good deal of
effort was required to separate the
equines after they had become wedged
in so closely,

THE Rev. E. D. Hopkins, of st.
Johnsbury, VT, is in trouble. He has
OF late been an insurance agent as well
as pastor. He was formerly a poor
man, but has bought a house, furnished
it elegantly, spread out into generous
style of living, and appeared to be do
ing flourishing business. As an illus
tration of one way in which Hopkins
succeeded in pocketing 1000 of other
peoples money, it is said that widow
called on him for the payment of a
policy on her husbands life, then some
time overdue. The company had sent
Hopkins draft, payable to her order,
for 81 1000, the amount of the policy.
Hopkins told her that it was not vet
due, but that if she would write her
name upon the back of paper (pro-
ducing the drafD he would get the
money for her. The widow unsuspect-
ingly wrote her name, and soon after
Hopkins sent her check for $500 and
his note for $500, telling her that he
would collect the balance and pay the
note. She did afterward secure the
3500scovered by the note, but some
other similar creditors were not so for
tunate. He has fled.
