The Yellow Centaur Lini-
ment

is worth its weight in gold to owners of
horses and mules.
This Liniment has cured more
SPRAINED, Sweenied, Ring-boned and
CALLED HORSES in three years than have
all the Farriers In the country i'm any
age. Its effects are simply wonderful.
We have thousands upon thousands of
certificates as strong as the following:
"My horse was lame for a year with
fetlOck wrench. All remedies utterly
failed to cure and considered him
worthless until commenced to use
Centaur Liniment, which rapidly cured
him. | heartily recommend it.
"REV. GEO. w. FERRIS,
"ManOrville, Schohaire Co., N. Y"
"DEAn SIRs,-I have used your Gem
taur l.iniment in my family, and find it
to be of great value. Please send me
two dollars worth, one for the mules
and horses.

1t makes very little differnce what the
case is, whether it be Wrench, Sprain,
Poll-Evil, RingbOne, Scratches or Lame
ness of any kind, the effects are the
same. Liverymen, Stage proprietors,
Farmers, &C., should never be without
the Yellow Centaur Liniment. 1t is
sold everywhere and warranted in its
effects.

1t is mistake to suppose that Castoria

the quantity. But children have so
many complaints for which Castoria is
adapted-like VINO COLO, Sour StOm-
ach, Worms, letter, TEETHING and
Group, that it is especially recommended
for them.
Its effects are more certain than Cas-
TOR OIL. 1t contains no alcohol and is
as PLEASANT TO TAXI as honey. It new

and bowels the CastOria cOoLs THE

Castoria is RECOMMENDED by all physi-

POTTS LOOKING FdR A LIGHT.

One night during the recent troubles
in the Pennsylvania coal regions, Judge
Potts brother, Thomas Potts, was
around at q meeting Of the mine owners
and after the adjournment ne stepped
into the tavern. While there he met
some friends, and in the course OF an
hour or two he got very intoxicated.
On his way home he lost his hat, and a
miner who knew him, feeling compassion
for him, clapped on his head miners
hat; and, in order to make the dark
street look brighter, he lighted the
lamp in front of the hat. When Potts
reached home his wife had gone to
he'd, and the lights were OUT but Potts
felt certain the lamp was burning in the
hall, but h /, couldn't for the life Of him
tell where it was.
He looked for the regular lamp, and
it seemed to be out then hunted i'll
every direction for the light, but he
was unable to find it, although it seemed
to shine brightly wherever he went
Presently he happened to stop in front
of the mirror in the hat rack, and then
he saw precisely where the light was
After a brief objuration upon Mrs
Potts for leaving light in such place
lie went up to the mirror and tried to
blow it out. He blew and blew, but
somehow the fame burned as steadily
as before.
'sThat," says Potts, Sis the mos ex
, traor'nary lamps ever been my misfor

Then be took off his coat, and hold
ing it up in front of him, crept cautiously
up to the MIRROR, and tried to crush ih'
coat over the lamp, WHICH still burnee
