Nervous Prostitution.

Americans like Ortogral, OF Basra, de.
sire that the golden stream should be
sudden and violent, and In their anxiety
to acquire wealth, overwhelm themselves
with the cares Of business, until their
overtaxed systems are broken down un-
der the pressure to which they are sub
jected. This is one prolific cause of
nervous diseases so common in this
country. Another and probably great
er one Is the very general propensity to
run into excess in excitement and the
use Of liquors and tobacco, which soon
ruin the strongest nervous organizations.
Such sufferers have more difficulty In OBJ
tanning relief than almost any other
class. DIR. Radcliff's Seven Seals or
Golden Wonder Is sovereign remedy
for all nervous affections, no matter how
they were incurred The worst cases of
nervous debility have been cured with
rapldity by its use. The Seven
Seals Is a purely vegetable compound
no poisonous or unwhole-
some ingredients, and acts directly upon
the system. Feb.

Gafney's Camp.

North Branch, Feb 9TH, 1877.
Our scale at this camp has in
creased considerably since I last
wrote to you. We have in the
stream 100000 feet up to date.
Our teams are all in good condition,
except one, on which, l have no
doubt, the crows will soon have
merry time. The men are all in
fine spirits and glad to see spring
thinking that they
will soon see their sweet hearts.
The late thaw has not damaged
our hauling as yet and Mr.. Gaffney
says it matters little to him who is
President as long as he can haul
ogs as fast as he has in the past.

North Branch, Feb, It'll, 1877.


North Branch, Feb, 18th, 1877.
The amount of logs banked is
100000. The hauling had just
nicely got a going when the break
up occurred. On the skids there
are about 100000 feet of logs.
The logs average about four or FIVE
to the thousand. The nearest haul
is about one mile and a half. As
part of the road runs through a
Norway plain, the sun has a bad
effect on it, but by drawing snow
and placing it on the bare spots,
the hauling of logs has been con-
tinued. On the 22nd there is to
be grand celebration.

Is il n Box Drain or what,

|
Taking walk down Trowbridge
street, the other day, we were much
mystified at the appearance of q
long box stuck on one side Of the
street. In vain we speculated as
to the purpose for which it was
MISUNDERSTANDING of a hog
trough, fish trough, young under
ground railway, and similar things,
but the ideas did not seem feasible.
At last we inquired of a resident
what the thing was and for what
purpose it was constructed. He
answered:
"That's a drain; a box drain"
"a WHAT" we asked in astonish-
ment.
"a drain; a box DRAIN" was the
reply.
"a box DRAIN" we calculated,
our eyes scanning closely the won
derful affair, "and for what pur-
pose was it constructed. To catch
rain water 7"
at was built for draining these
swamps around here" said the
gentleman, who no doubt wonder
ed much at our ignorance.
"Now, see here, stranger" we
said, as soon as we had recovered
from our establishment, eve can
believe almost anything, but you
can't make us believe that water
will run up hill for the purpose of
getting into that box. Now don't
impose on an innocent being. Has
It drained anything, SO far"
"Well," said the gentleman, "the
only thing that it has accomplished
so far, has been to drain consider
able money out Of the public treas
nry. Then IL answers admirably
'or the neighbors to swear at; 1t
furnishes an inexhaustible theme
or conversation, and it makes us
the Common Council.
L has also learned us that the Com
non Council can't make water run
Up out of the ground, climb into
wooden trough, and then meander
peacefully to the lake, any more
han common folks can"
