INTERMITTENT FEVER Is SO common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural im elements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect OF the DUST
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp Now it
is equally necessary for those VINO are
brought in contact with any Of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, TO provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

Strike at the Glass Factory

The glass factory has been shut down
the blowers being on strike and the
company refusing to accept the scale of
wages proposed by the workmen. The
affair grows out OF strike which is now
going on in Pittsburgh, and the officers of
the glass blowers and gatherers' union
have ordered that work shall be stopped
at all factories in this country until the
scale of prices arranged is accepted 1t is
hardly probable that the factory here will
start up again before next September.
Under the pernicious management Of
trades unions operatives have no freedom,
while men who think they own factories
shops, mills and mines are mi5taken--tht
organized societies own them and decide
not only how much Of the revenues they
will keep, and how much they will permit
the nominal owners Of the property to re
ceive, while the men who do the work art
the subservient tools of designing parties
who control the trades unions.

Michael Davis, the Rulldozer.

M1CndGI 0aV1S, the auI4QOZeI.
When Michael Davis, the bulldoziDg
saloon keeper at Reynolds station, was
released from Jail, on Monday, he got drunk
and proceeded on the afternoon train to
Reynolds, with the intention of packing up
his goods and departing to some more
friendly neighborhood, Upon arriving
there he found that his little saloon build
ing had been torn down and everything
belonging to him destroyed. This made
him mad, and meeting David Sherrod at
G, Fl. Dibbern & Cos store he accused
him of being the ring leader of his maIign-
ers. Sherrod denied that he was, but
Davis knocked him down with his fist.
He then made an attack upon W. D.
Goodner with hedge trimmer, but this
dangerous weapon was taken from him,
and he left the village and proceeded tc
the the house of Michael Joyce, six miles
west. Word was sent to Sheriff Perkins
that Davis was on the rampage again. and
be went out to JoYce's place. on Tuesday
aud arrested him again, and he is now il
Jail. There can be no doubt but thai
Davis is a desperate and wicked mar
when under the influence of liquor, but it il
believed by many that he had some cause
for his conduct on Monday-when finding
that his saloon building and its contents
had been carried off or destroyed. Give
the man chance, and don't kick him wher
he's already down.
This M rning Goodner made complaint
against Davis, before Justice Pinkley
charging MIN with assault with intent tt
commit n. urder, and Sherrod also made
complaint, before the same justice charg
ing him with assault and battery.
These cases will probably not be prose
cuted, as the county Judge has already
sent Davis to Jail for 10 days on the ole
charge of selling liquor without license.

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Helmbold' s
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As dluretic, it is supe,
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
aud the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made il known
far and wide as reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-.
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
bolds only.

1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cnes TO be able to state oat it is now nearly 80
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used In
various parts OF the United States, and have given
TO patient and practitioner the highest degree Of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed; whether in town country
hospital, private practice, they haze invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and beneficis
effects Numerous letters have been received from
some Of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors of several Med
ica Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value OF these medicines and their gu
periority over other preparations for such com
plants az the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care il
