They are getting off yarn at the ex. pense of your correspondent who made his raft of logs $50 miles long and 50 feet wide. They say man who was in the habit of stretching his stories had an un- deFs.anding with his wife that if he got his stories too big, she was to secretly check hin.'' Undertaking, one day, to give the size of barn, he said it was a thousand feet long, whereupon his wife trod on his corns, and he added with & grimace, land two feet wide"-too long for the width. they say!

 saw paragraph in the Chicago pa pers. the other day, that on trial test of their water-works, in Sycamore, H., three streams were thrown 70 feet high, and it was regarded satisfactory. At. recent test of our works, 6streams were thrown from 80 to 100 feet high, from as many different hydrants on our street, and it was pleasant sight to see; but much less entertaining night or two after, when the cry of fire revealed the story above our store on fire, and the hose all laid to food ns; happily it was put out without the necessity of using it-but very few mo ments more would have given us such a washing down as we do not crave.~ Last night. the alarm rang out again, about eight in the evening. for fire two doors from us. At this rate, we shall not need to adopt the plan of the man, who routs his family out every night at midnight, with an alarm of fire, to teach them what to do in the case of an emergency.
 We held city election, last Monday, and got beaten by one vote on mayor; out of 720 votes cast-and gained an alderman by one vote, in ward casting 11S votes. The election for mayor will doubtless be contested. 9
 The woman suffrage amendment was de. feated in the Senate of this State, yester. day, by one vote, but a motion was made to reconsider, and it may yet be adopted. The Railroad bill which has occupied the most time and excited the most interest ir the legislature, came to test vote also yesterday-showiug the ''grangers" stil ahead, though there will doubtless b, some modification of the present striugen law. The railroads moved for an uncon ditional repeal, and have made big figh over it.

Unlimited Remedial Resources.


 People sometimes suppose that Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines represent the entire extent of his resources for curing disease. This is an error. Experience proved that while the Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Purgatlve Pellets, Compound Extract of Smart-weed, and rDr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, would, if faithfully used, cure a large variety of chronic complaints, there would be here and there case winch. from its severity. or. from it's complication with other disorders, would resist their action. These exceptional cases required a thorough examination into their symp. toms, to ascertain the exact nature and extent of the disease or diseases under which the patient was laboring and tLe use of specific remedies to meet and ovet- come the same. This led to the estab- lishment of the Worlds Dispensarv. at Buffalo, N. Y.,with its Faculty of Physi- ciaus and Surgepns. eaehY of whom is skilled in the tFeatment of cllrotfita disor- ders in general and those belonging to his own special department in, particular. To one IS assigned diseases of the throat and lungs; to another. diseases of the kid. ueys and urogenital organs; to another. diseases of the digestive system; to anoth. re diseases of the nervous system; and to another diseasesgofg the eye and .ear. Thus the highest degfeesof perfection in medicine and surgery is attained. The establishment of this inscitution, enables the Doctor to meet long felt want in the treatment of the more severe chronic affections. By Q careful consideration .ol the symptoms as given in writing, he successfully treats thousands of cases ai homes. Otheray visit the Dispensary in person. The ampiest resources for the treatment of lingering affections are thus placed at theg disposal of every patient lSand'those on whom the proprietary medi procure a,tmore thorough and efficient course by personal application to the ] proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary

! us this beautifuIgift2 Yet strange as it may seem, there are those in these en- frightened times vho lave some influence over the minds of others, and use that influence to convince them that concert given by ladies and gentlemen of un- doubted responsibility, in an enlightened community, has Q tendency toward the demoralization of those who attend it. Surely no one could object to to music in our public, worship, and if Iam answered, ..No. sbecause this is sacred music." then I ask for some one who-is up to the sub- iect, to tell me if great deal of vur so- called sacred music is not culled from the opera and concert pieces of profahe com posers 2" When this question is reasona- ply discussed, we may be ena5led to see as much distinction between the sacred and profane as the old lady who thought it would be nothing short of sacrilege to play fiddle in the church choir, but had no objection ato'a performance upon the vfoii'a in the same place. Over-scrupu. lous indeed must be the mind that can conceive the possibility of demoralizing effect in any music which can soften the heart and moisten the eye, whether it be the composition of a Rossini or & Lowell -Mason.
 We recently attended concert given by company of our most refined and tal- ented musician. The entertainment was of, ,the. first order, and should have been warmly supported by the citizens of the community lnswhich it was given, yet it was poorly attended, and did not meet with tEe success it'deserged, and it's but partial successs was in great measure owing to the influence (to our shame must it be said) ofamRn whose ideas are about as deep and well defined as the old wo- mans who made the mortal remalk k about the fiddle vs. violin. Let every lover of mu- sic who claims to be an intelligent mortal give all the encouragement in this power to the cultivation of this divine gift, and give it the high place it has deserved, since it's power was understood and used by Orpheus in the civilization of Thrace to this age of refinement in which we should give honor to the memory of Han del and Mozart.

GOSHEN. March 10th 1S76


 There is perhaps no plainer mark. of the Ouwasa march of civilization and refine. msnt. than. the advance in the cultivation of that beautiful at, music. As our taste for refinement grows, so does our appre- ciation of music. The African in the wilds of the barbarous deserts could scarcely be expected to appreciate any, thing more grand than the music he pro- dnces in drumming on his only musical instrument made by stretching cord from the extremities of a curved stick. Civilization demands something more in- spiring than such rude notes, and this de- mand has caused the invention of our modern instruments, which, in the hsnds of caltisated artists, do so much toward giving to society its pleasing features.
 Who that has music in his soul has ever lisaened to the rendering of the produc. ton of q ROssini ora Bethoven, by culti- vated performers. without having felt his heart touched and his thoughts go out in shankfalness to the Creator who has sent
