UNSOLICITED TESTIMONY. Y.-Gentlemen- Seeing numerous certificates ID the Maine Farmer, endorsing the merits of the Great Lung Remedy, W1srAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY, am induced, and I take great pleasure in giving publicity, to the great cure it accomplished in my family In 1856. My son. Henry A. Archer, now postmaster in this place, was attack ed with splitting of blood, cough. weak ness of lungs, and general debility, so much so that our family physician declar- ed him to have a''seated consumption. He was under medical treatment for a num- Der of months but received no benefit from 1t. At length, from the solicitation of himself and others. was induced to purchase one bottle ot WIsrAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY, which benefited him so much l obtained another, which in short time restored him to his usual state of health. I can safely recommend this remedy to others in like condition, for it IS. think, all it purports to be-THE GREAT REMEDY FOR THE TIMES
 The above statement, gentleman. is my voluntary offering to you. in favor of your Balsam. and is at your disposal.
 As ever, yours, ANDREW ARCHER.

The October Elections.

There has probably never been hotter canvass in this country than that of Ohio and Indiana during the past month. Both parties have done their best and the re- suit IS divided victory. The Republi- cans have every encouragement short of complete success. They have increased their majority in Ohio; they have gained largely in congressman; they have come nearer carrying the Democratic state of Indiana than they did in 1872. Never theless we are forced in candor to admit that the result, though not decisive, leaves MT. Tilden's chances better than MT. Hayes for the presidency. The Re- pubicans cannot have any reasonable hope of Indiana in November. Their candidate for governor was very popular, yet he was defeated; and, in November, the Democracy have tbe advantage of Hendricks on the presidential ticket. This democratic success in Indiana causes the final issue to depend entirely on New York, as will be seen by the following ta- ble:

CITY AND CoUNTRY--In New York city a respectable family pays $1 300 annually for the rent of hodse. A physician charg- es from three to five dollars single visit and furnishes no medicine. In the coun- try 1t frequently requires long ride and great inconvenience to obtain a phvsi- elan, and when found he may not be able to procure the proper remedies. The most remarkable and unfajling remedy the world has ever seen, and one which is endorsed by all physicians, is now pla- ced within the reach of every family, where it can always be kept ready for inn mediate use. Danger arises from delay. One dollar or fifty cents invested in Cen taur Liniment will last family a year. There is no pain which it will not relieve. no swelling it will not subdue, wound it will not heal, no lameness it will not cure. It heals burns without scar, and renders the bites of snakes and the stings of bees lnnoX1ous.

Fossil tracks of man and bird were found recently in North Canton. They were exhibited in Hartford last Friday, and much doubt as to their genuineness was expressed. A Hartford humorist says that the reason they cannot be pronounc- ed as genuine or otherwise, is because they have not as yet been examined by the Secretary of the American 'Track" society.
