Attorney, or are acquitted by jury.
One or two instances may be given. In
the cell upon the first floor, Royal La
Touche was immured during the fall and
part of the winter of IA. He went into
it hale and vigorous, young man possess
ed of splendid physique. He came out
of it utterly broken down in health. His
attending physician told the writer while
he was imprisoned, that treatment would
avail him nothing, or next to nothing,
while kept in this cell. This man was dis
charged. and went free without any trial.
In the iron-clad cell upon the second
floor, George Swain was imprisoned
through the summer of '73. He was at
the time half-grown boy. It will be rec
objected that the heat of that summer was
extreme. This boy, after this imprison-
ment, was tried aud acquitted by a jury
During the present winter lad named
George Richards, fifteen years old, was for
several weeks held in jail, against whom the
grand jury failed to find an Indictment
During most of the present winter, three,
sometimes four, persons have been im-
prisoned in each of these cells. There are
now three in each. The condition of the
air in them, when so many are there, is
simply nauseous, so much so that person
standing very near the grated door, on the
outside, will be sensibly affected by it.
For this condition of things there is less
excuse, if there could be any excuse, from
the fact that it does not result from radio
al defects of construction in the Jail itself.
Nothing is needed bit to make aoind0ws in
the cells, of a sufficient height to admit
air and light, and to pr0uide alright
Coverings and drainage to the sinks. These
things could certainly be done without d.
minishing the security of the imprisoned.

Mr.. EDITOR do not see why an
enterprising journalist like you
should fail to notice the advent in
our ''Model Town" of an Orchestra
of five hundred strongl an organi-
zation Of our own county tool Such
negligence is excusable only upon
the presumption of a failure to plank
down a liberal fee. You are land
rightfully too) solicitous for the
news of the county, but in your zeal
for such, I admonish yon not to over
look the weightier matters transpir-
ing in your immediate vicinity.
But to the orchestra. They came
here unheralded, few days ago, Sc
cured Tabernacle in the eastern
part of our town, and like sensible
folks, went to work, giving "Mati-
nees" by day, and concerts, whole
souled ones too, at night. Being a
regular attendant at their nightly ex-
hibitions, I can assure you of truth,
L have never heard their equal The
music-well, it has to be heard
to be appreciated AS evidence
of their success, their patrons
talk strongly of organizing a Club
L am no amateur in music, but will
risk my judgment in saying, that a
voluntary" of their getting up will
compare favorably with some I've
heard at church. In complication
of sounds, at least, they can't be
beat
They sit in judgment on their own
music, and should any of their pieces
have more than ordinary merit, or
be immoderately applauded, they at
once determine upon a repetition
without waiting for a few promin-
ent patrons to ask them. They issue
no ''Complimentaries," which ac-
counts for the slim attendance of our
Councilmen, take no interest in our
municipal affairs, and don't care if
the Post Office is taken to New
Market. Coming as they do from ru-
raj districts, they are naturally par
tial to a Supply House, and thus
far they are in full sympathy with the
Changers.
They are of no mean origin, as
claimed, but are the lineal descendants
of that noted old Patriarch who
saved by his music famous city
from destruction. In word, such
a collection of talent the Model Town
has never witnessed, and may never
again-for, in very short time,
their voice will be heard no more
among us, as they go in body to
New York, and possibly to the Cen
tennial city, where a more liberal
and patronizing public awaits them.

and the large number of testimonials which are
constantly being received from persons who have
been cured by its use, are conclusive proof of its
great value. II is recommended by Dhvsicians and
apothecares. As Blood Purifier and Health Re-
storer, il has equal.
VEGETIEE is net prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debilitates the system
and tends TO destroy health instead of restoring it,
Are not the many testimonials given for the diff
erent cnmnlaints satisfactory TO any reasonable
persons suffering from disease that thev can be cur
ed /? Read the different testimonials given and no
one car doubt. In many of these cases the persons
say that their aini md suffering cannot be express
ed, as in cases of Scrofua, where, apparently, the
whole body was one mass of corruption. If VEGE-
TINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure
such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect
health after trying different physicians many rem
edies suffering for years. is it not conclusive proof
if you are u sufferer, you can be cured? Why is

he truly called the Great Blood Purifier. The great
source of disease originates in the blood; and no
medicine that does act directly upon it, TO pur-
fy and renovate has any Just claim upon public at
tention. When the blood becomes lifeless and
stagnant, either from change of weather climate
want of exercise, irregular diet, from any other
cause, the VEGETINE will renew the blood, carry
off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regu-
late the bowels and impart tone of yigor to the
whole body. The conviction is, in the public mind
as well as in the medical profession, that the
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are more
safe, more successful in the cure of disease than
mineral medicines. NEGETINE is composed of
roots, barks and herbs. II is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe to give infant. Do You need
it? Do not hesitate TO try it. You will never re-

The Tribune on Hayes.

The New York Tribune in an ed
itorial on Sherman letter on Hayes,
says:
Gov. Hayes enjoys wellearned
reputation as pure, honest, and
faithful man, who, without abilities Of
the highest order, has filed with cred
it high stations. Undoubtedly his
abilities are more justly appreciated.
in Ohio, than in other States, and it
is but the truth to say that those who
know him best speak with most re-
spect of his mental and executive
powers. He is not dodger, and he
had the manhood te take the inha-
ton bull by the horns in a brave
and honorable way; nor will friends
of the national honor elsewhero
soon forget the great service which
he rendered in the critical campaign
in Ohio. He is not lacking IN per-
sonal popularity, and since his elect
ion, though the open praises Of
friends have subjected him to
that ordeal in which SO often the
ablest men act like fools, he has
borne himself as Governor with mod
est dignity, not reminding the world
by fussy effort for notoriety that he
is a Presidential candidate. The
Republican party might easily go
further and fare worse, especially II
it went to Indiana for candidate.
So much may fairly be said to the
credit of Governor Hayes. 1t may
be added, as a strong point IN his
favor, that he is obviously one OF
the men who can carry Ohio, and
victory in Ohio is necessary to Re-
publican success.

How They Doctor 'Tramps'
in New Vienna.

One night recently, as DR.. g. R.
Conard, of New Vienna, returned
home from a professional csl about
haf-past l o'clock, his wife (who
was alone in the house with three
small children) got up to let him in,
and in passing back. to bed diseov-
cred something crawling on the floor.
She went back to the DR.. and whis-
pered "what is thati' at which he
discovered in the dim light a man
crawling towards the bed, or rather
under the bed. The DIR. sprang at
him, with one bound, though un-
armed, and struck him 8 blow with
his fist about the ear, then seizing
him by the coat-eollar, he dealt him
another good one about where he
hit him first.
At this crisis the 'Tramp's" hat
fell of, revealing bald head and
grey hairs, when the DR.. assumed
the defense, only keeping his back
towards him by blow on the side
of his head, occasionally, and firm
hold of his coat-collar. Mrs @. un-
locked the door and the DR.. pushed
him out into the street, yelling for
help, when the Marshal appeared,
put pair of bracelets on him, and
'put him in his little bed. The
next morning, he was taken to VII
mington jail, to await his trial for

same fellow had been arrested at
Lynchburg a few days before, his
revolver taken from him, and he
turned loose, after which he was
found in house about a mile west
of Vienna at IL o'clock at night.
When discovered he asked for some-
thing to eat, and was let off again

Cast0riia.

Itis mistake to suppose that Castoria is not
adapted to grown persons as well children.
They only need to increase the quantity. But chill
dren have so many complaints fe7 which Csstoria
is adapted-like Hind Colo, Sour Stomach, Worms,
Tetter, Teething and Group, that it is especially
recommended for them.
Its effects are more certain than Castor Oil. 1t
contains no alcohol and is as pleasant to take as
honey. 1t never gripes. By regulating the stomach
and bowels the Castoria coolS the blood, expels
and prevents feverishness, quiets the nerves and
produces health-then of course children can sleep
in quet and mothers can rest.
Castoria is recommended by all physicians and
nurses who have tried it, and it is having rapidly
increasing sale. 1t is prepared with great care after
the recipe of Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Macs, at the
Laboratory of J. B. Rose & Co., 46 Dey Street,
