Thousands Of human beings are yearly borne on
the swift current Of disease down to the grave, just
because they do not possess sufficient knowledge
Of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, and
the first ssluation is, "How are you 7" or "How is
your health I" The reply frequently is, "Oh, am
well, with the exception of cold" Most per-
sons lightly regard cold. Reader, do you know
that cold is one of the most dangerous Of maa-
dies A cold not only clogs up the pores of the
entire system, and retards circulation, but it is
productive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead
to Consumption. "Oh," you say, "it is nothing
but a cold in my head" Trues but that cold IS
really mild form Of Catarrh, and if not arrested
in Its course will become chronic. Catarrh is one
of the most disaRreeable, offensive affections in
the catalogue Of diseases. The passage to the
nose Is obstructed, the sense of smell impaired
and there is disagreeable sensation Of pressure
in the head. In the more advanced stages, there
is q discharge having an offensive odor. If the
disease be allowed to continue in its course, thick,
hard incrustations will form in the head the bones
of which sometimes become softened and break
away in pieces. Why will persons continue to
suffer from such an annoying, disgusting disease,
when they can just as well be cured Of it? DIR.
Sages Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms
of Catarrh; in fact, it is the only sure and safe
remedy which has yet been offered to the public.
Many harsh, irritating preparations may, for
time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms, but
they do not cure the disease. DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy is soothing and healing in its effects, and
when used with DIR. Pierce's Nasal Douche, ac-
cordng to directions does not fail to effect cure.

Criminal Matters.

Columbus, January 8. The fact that Charley
Ulrich. one of the most expert counterfeiters in
America, is confined in the Ohio penitentiary, at
once pointed him out as the leader of the counter
felt greenback party, if such thing existed.
Warden Innes was interviewed on the subject
and says if any greenbacks have been made in
the prison he does not know it.
He says bogus nickes were made by two men,
John Fought, sent from Auglaize Co.. for horse
stealing, and Henry Parker, sent from Lucan Co.,
for burglary These men work close together in
the moulding shop, and there made the coin in
moulds, genuine coin being used for a pattern
The material used was au alloy of copper and
zinc.
The warden says the guard OF the shop was
cognizant of the mems doings, but it was thought
best to wait while in order to discover all the
men implicated.
In three days the warden found some of the
stuff in the possession of his little boy, who said
it was given him by Fought and Parker, and he
had already spent five of the coins. The two
prisoners were then put in the dungeon, where
they soon wilted and confessed the whole BUSH
ness.
The warden thinks very few coins were made
and few Of those left the prison.

How is this weather FOR an opener of the New
Year? The thermometer is ranging at about 500
above and mud ankle deep. This is certainly
innovation on our customary rights and privileges,
the like of which is only known by the "odest IN
habitant."
We are informed that the lantern that did the
mischief for Mir. Crossman, was not tubular, but
a common square one. Yet there was an unde-
niable carelessness in this, as in many cases where
fire has originated from lanterns carried into
barns. A few plain, sensible rules, if remembered
and adhered to, would lessen the accidents (') OF
fire. For instance
lst. Never set lighted lantern upon the floor
among straw or hay or where it may be thrown.
I'd. Never set a lantern upon beam, girt or
place from which it may be knocked off.
Sd. Nerer, under any circumstances, carry
lantern OF any light upon the hay mow. If you
haven't the forethought to pitch your hay or straw
down into the floor before dark do 1t in the dark
as best you can.
4th Do as much of your work as possible
about the barn, before night but if obliged to 20
to the barn in the evening, hang your lantern
upon a stout nail in aplace that will be secure
from being knocked off by passing, and not in i'm
mediate connection with the hay. A better plan
would be to have rope suspended from above
near the center OF the floor, with good sized
hook or q snap on the lower end, from which to
suspend the lantern at as good height it can be
conveniently hung. 1t will throw light to all parts
of the barn, and not upset by any accidental
blow.
Of course no persons are recommended to visit
the barn or stable with lamp or open light, un-
less they are heavily insured They will be quite
sure to need the insurance to help them out
The watch meeting on Friday night at the A.
E. Church was largely attended, and made quite

on our municipal affairs. The mayor thinks that
cxtravagance has been checked and corruption di-
minished. The finances have improved, the city
debt has been cut down little and the tax levy
lowered 81 100000. The salaries in the depart
ment of public works have been reduced 10 per
cent and the appropriations for this year are l0-
000, 900 less than 1876.
The public schools are source Of satisfaction
and pride. The attendance last year exceeded
1874 by 1862. The expenses of this department
in 1875 were 81, BAG, ,9l2, but it has been found
necessary tc increase the appropriation for the
current year by $685., ,5SS.
The general view Of municipal affairs is healthy
and encouraging, and if the improvement is not
all that be desired, it is real and the beginning
