CaStOria.

Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Hyannis, Mass, experiment. ed in his private practice for twenty years to produce combination that would have the properties of Cas- tor Oil without it's unpleasant taste and griping effect.
 His preparation was sent for, near and far, till f. naly he gave it the name of Castoria, and put up for sale. It is very wonderful in it's eects particu larly with the disordered stomachs and bowels of children. It assimilates the food. cures sour stomach and wind colc regulates the bowels, expes worms, and may be relied upon in croup.
 As pleasant, effective and perfectly safe cathar- tic remedy 1t is superior to Castor O Cordials and syrups It does not contain alcohol and is adapted to any age.
 By regulating the stomach and bowels of cross and sickly children they become good-natured and healthy. They can enjoy sleep and mothers have rest. The Castoria is put up at the Laboratory of J. B. Rose Co.,, 46 Dey Street, New York.

 EDITOR ENQUIRER man who said he proposed to go into the maple-sugar business, and if he liked'it, follow it the year round, must have lived in "centen- nial year," if that sufficiently accounts for the strange weather of1 the past three months. We have had 8 succession of frsszings and drawings since the middle of November, with 8 prospect of two months more of the same to come, making the roads exeerable and business almost non est. To have spring thus lingering in the lap of summer" for five months makes new rendering, and to us, who look for good ice, bridge and good sleighing to make business lively, not par ticularly desirable.
 The Water-works Go. have been waiting for ice sufficiently strong to lay suction pipe out into the middle of thev river, but abandoning the hope hasefbrought on Ia veritable "cliver" to lay it, which has created quite sensation in this inland community and is the observed of all ob- servers. The ice was strong enough for a few days but they were not ready. and so lost their opportunity. The ice gatherers, however, improved it to the utmost. The brewers. am told, put on fifteen teams and worked all day Sunday. -@
 Among othef strange phenomena of the year vas thunderstorm on the 10th of this month, during which men were seen cutting and saving ice, with the mercury 60 degrees above zero.
 The extra services in the churches have closed with something of disappointment to the'more earnest workers, the "fruits" not equalling their hopes and expecta- tions, though good work has been done. At Keokuk, in this state,a very successful revival has been in progress. for over gsix 1 weska nnmbefing two hundred taad fifty converts. They have held upwards of one hundred and fifty union meetings, averaging over three day. If it is the l result of hard times in any measure, to someofusit affords ample ccmp pensation.

The Turks are at war and have
thrown to the breeze the famous
standard Of the prophet. So the
papers say. and are right thus far:
but when they add that the stan

only contribute to the dissemina-
tion of a popular error. The ban.

have from time immemorial been
Of different colors, but the great

The Hamburg Negro Incen-

The perplexing Hamburg mat
ter has some additional light
thrown upon it, perhaps. by a
speech ofJudge Mackay ats Hayes
and Wheeler ratification meeting
at Rock Hill, South Carolina
Though a Republican he combated
the denunciation of General Butler,
by a preceding speaker, as the
author or promoter Of "that great
crime" as the Judge calls it
He says he has considered all the
evidence that has appeared on the
subject, has coversed with Repub-
licans both white and black who
were in or near Hamburg at the
time of the massacre, and that
their conclusions against Butler are
arc not supported by testimony
which would not be. instantly con-
sumed to ashes under the rays OF
judicial test" The Judge then
states in less judicial, perhaps, but
more matter-of-fact Language, that
General Buffers house was burnt
last year by negroes; that his be-
ing engaged in fight with a body
of them at that time was as con-
stables posse to effect the arrest
OF the incendiaries under the au-
thority of a negro trial justice; that
on his being hImse'f arrested for
that act he and his friends went
at once peaceably to Judge
Mackay's court and were acquitt-
ed; that he collected a force oflaw-
abiding white Democrrts to defend
from a mob oflynchers the Jail in
which the destroyer of his own
house was confined, and The judge
asks if the man who acted thus
under severe provocation could
have taken part in the Hamburg
butchery unprovoked as he was
