nor give better history of the hardships

all, my dear; for they do say he travels
just so, all alone, sometimes. Hark

The sound of voice came from the
chamber of their guest, who was now
engaged in his private religious worship.
After thanking the Creator for his
many mercies, and asking blessing on
the inhabitants of the house, he con-
tinued, "and now, Almighty Father, If
II be thy holy will, that we shall obtain
place and name among the nations
of the earth, grant that we may be en-
abled to show our gratitude for thy good
ness, by our endeavors to fear and obey
thee. Bless us with wisdom in our
councils, success in battle, and let our
victories be tempered with humanity
Endow, also, our enemies with enlight-
ened minds, that they may become sem
sible of their injustice, and willing to
restore our liberty and peace. Grant
the petition of thy servant, for the sake
of him whom thou hast called thy be-
loved Son : nevertheless, not my will,
but thine be done. Amen"
The next morning the traveller, de-
clining the pressing solicitations to
breakfast with his host, declared it was
necessary for, him to cross the river i'm
mediately; at the same time offering
part of his purse as compensation for
what he had received, which was re-
fused.
"Well, sir" continued he, since
you will not permit me to recompense
you for your trouble, it is but just that
should inform you on whom you have
conferred so many obligations, and also
add to them, by requesting your as
sistance in crossing the river. 1 had
been out yesterday endeavoring to OBJ
tain some information respecting our
enemy, and being alone, ventured too
far from the camp. On my return, 1
was surprised by a foraging party, and
only escaped by my knowledge of the
roads, and the fieetness of my horse
My name is George Washington"

moment; then, after unsuccessfully re-
peating the invitation to partake of
some refreshment, he hastened to call
two negroes, with whose assistance he
placed the horse on q smsil raft of tim
Der that was lying in the river, near the
door, and soon conveyed the general to
the opposite side, where he left him to
pursue his way to the camp, wishing
him safe and prosperous journey
On his return to the house, he found
that while he was engaged in making
preparations for conveying the horse
across the river, his illustrious visitor
had persuaded his wife to accept token
of remembrance, which the family are
proud of exhibiting to this day.
The above is only one of the hazards
encountered by this truly great patriot,
for the purpose of transmitting to pos
terity the treasures we now enjoy. Let
us acknowledge the benefits received, by
our endeavors to preserve them in their
purity.

Buried Alive.

Many years ago Mrs. Erskine Of
Scotland died and was buried. On one
of her fingers was valuable gold ring,
which could not be removed on account
of the finger continuing swollen after
death. This fact became known, and
the night after she was buried, to OBJ
tain the ring, two men opened the grave
and took the body of Mrs. Erskine out
of the coffin, and to remove the ring
they began to cut away the flesh of the
finger, when Mrs. E. exclaimed, 'Oh
it is so painful" The thieves left her
and fed, and she got up and walked to
her husbands house. She lived many
years afterwards, and became the mother
of Ebenezer Erskine, one of the authors
of valuable book called Fishers and
Erskine's Catechism.

I Yesterday the people OF Milan voted on
the question as to whether they should
abandon their special municipal charter
and adopt what is called village organiza-
ton, under the general incorporation law,
like Hampton, Rapids City, Port Byron
and Coal Valley, They decided, ll2 to .
to stick to the old organization.
The present charter does not permit the
council to assess a tax oyer SO cents on the
100 dollars, annually, while village organ
ization permits s. on the 100 dollars an
nually. and this was the reason it was
voted not to change The people acted
wisely. If there is any way to prevent the
average councilmen from taxing the people
that is what ought to be done. There is
too much government THE best gov
ernment is that which governs least.

The People Being Heard From.

How the infamous acts of the Republi
can party in stealing the presidency from
the chosen representative of the people,
are regarded. is beginning to show in the
elections.
In Pennsylvania the interest centred in
the contest in Philadelphia. The Repub-
lican nominee for mayor, thanks to fraud,
repeating, and all the other nefarious po-
litical arts in which the pilgrims of the
Centennial City are such adopts, has been
reelected over Caven, but instead of the
usual $4,000 majority he has to take up
with only 5000, loss of II 900.
In Pittsburg, another Republican ring
ridden city, Liddell, Democrat, is elected
mayor, the Democrats also securing the
comptrollership.
Across the river in Allegheny City, the
Radicals were doomed to treatment as Sc
we're. Their candidate for mayor barely
escapes defeat by the narrow majority OF
| from 300 to 800 votes; in November they
carried the city by 2,72l.
In 1875, Lancaster, the home Of Thad
Stevnns, gave the Republican candidate
tor mayor a majority of 448; this veal
Macgonigle, Democrat, is elected by SO.
After making every allowance for the
different circumstances which control loca
and general elections, it is impossible moi
to apprehend the full significance of these
contests. There was heard oyer the com
monwealth Of the Camerons on Tuesda,
the first roar of the Tidal Wave Of 1877.

INTERMITTENT FEVER IS so CON

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
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements 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 safety

leading to intermittent fever, to provide

Breathing Miasma Without Injury

There is no exaggeration in the state
ment that thousands of persons residing
from one years end to another in fever
ague regions on this continent and else
where, breathe air more or less impreg-
mated with miasma. without mourning the
disease, simply AID only because they are
in the habit of using Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as preventive. 1t has frequently
happened, and the fact has been amply
attested by the parties themselves. that
persons surrounded on all sides by neigh
bors suffering the tortures of this SILVER
ing and burning plague, have enjoyed
absolute immunity from it, thanks to the
protection afforded by the Bitters. Nor
is that standard anti febrile cordial less
efficacious In rem edying than in prevent.
ing chills and fever, bilious remittents,
and disorders of kindred type Taken
between the paroxysms, it speedily miti
gates their violence, and eventually pre-
vents their recurrence. These facts. con.
vincingly established by evidence, appea
with peculiar force to travellers anC
