A Card to the Public.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of a vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, in fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung mp, dangerous i'm their close imi-
tatiOn of our Trade Mark. TO secure the
people we have placed upon each genu-
inc box of HollOway's Ointment the fac
smile of the signature OF our agent. Mr.
Jos. Haydock. 20 counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigOr of
the law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass OF American people will aid
It's in our efforts to protect their health.
and help us i'll our task of bringing these
most unprinciDled men to the bar of jus
tice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless
Mr.. Jos. Haydock's signature is attached
TO each box of Pills Or pot of Ointment,
and the end will soon be reached.
The publics Obedient servants,

Mr.. Tildcn's letter to Senator Herman
relative to the corruption fund which
was drawn from his individual barrel is
fairly illustrative of his cunning and
hypocrisy. A comparison between the
bank accounts of the Republican and
Democratic National committee is in or
der at any time. The accounts of Secre-
tary Chandler and Mr.. Mccormick. the
secretary of the committee, have been i'm
the possession of David Dudley Fields
committee for more than six weeks, and
if they showed any corrupt use of money
that cunning and inscriptions Tam
many lawyer, who defended Fisk and
Tweed, would not have kept such dis
closures locked up in his own breast Or
in the archives of his committee all this
time. He would have spread them be-
fore the country with such blowing of
trumpets, accompanied with such bowls
of delight from the Bourbon organs, big
and little, as have never yet been heard
i'm this campaign or any other. The
Democratic National committees ac-
counts. on the other hand, shows that
their starting fund was 100000, and OF
this amount, which was the nucleus of
the Democratic campaign fund, Mr.. Hew-
900, and Mr.. Tilden from his private bar
contribute this half million of dollars
Certainly not for legitimate expenses.
The party could easily take care OF those.
No Presidential candidate ever before
contributed towards his election from his
spend a cent bf his private fortune i'm
the campaign. There cali be but one
answer to the question that will satisfy
reasonably intelligent man. He spent
it for corrupt purposes. One illustration
has already been furnished i'm the Ohio
October election, to carry which he and
his fiscal agent sent several thousand dol
lars TO the editor of the Cincinnati En-
uuirer. How the money was spent has
already been shown in the astonishing
testimony of Eph Holland. 1t paid the
expenses of Burns and his gang OF voters
from Chicago. of Gleason and his lambs
from New York, of Mccoy and his
roughs and prize-fghters from Balti-
more, and other mobs of patriots who
went to Cincinnati to vote for economy |
and reform, because, in Mr. Tilden's lam
ouage, ''the people demand reform |
For the first time in this country, the |
New York Tammany methods have |
been introduced in elections by Presi- !
Dental candidate 1t is only necessary |
to think of the villainy that half mill
lion of dollars distributed among the
bummers and ballOt-box suffers can ac-
complish to estimate the enermity OF Mr..
Tilden's corruption business. In view of
these and other developments in the
shape of cipher dispatches that have
been. brought to light since Mr.. Tilden
the election, every honest |
and respectable Democrat ought to be
satisfied that the Board of Ar
bitration has counted him out.

While Sir William johnson was super
intendent of Indian affairs in the Mohawk
Valley in 1775 one of his staunchest
friends was the old Mohawk sachem,
Hendrix. Sir William had great conf
dence in the old chiefs judgment. and
seldom made move against the hostile
Indians and French without consulting
him. "lf they are to fight they are too
few; if they are to be killed they are too
many" was his laconic response to John
sons question touching the propriety
of sending out small body of men
which he had organized against an ex-
pected Invasion.
On certain occasion Sir William was

his eyes from the coveted prize. But be

On the following morning, however
the chieftain waited upon the governor
for purpose. as was evident from the
intensity of his look.
"Sir William" said he, with wide-open
eyes and a general expression of wonder
..me have a great dream last night. Me

drick, YOU have been my friend. and now

the new coat, with the bright gold Oh 1t
that came in the box
The baronet reflected few moments
and finally said:
lit is true, Hendrick, you have been
my friend. The coat is yours"
The Chief went away fairly beside him
self with delight.
A few days after that said Sir William
to his dusky ally:
"Hendrick, had dream last night"
"Ah And what did my white brother
dream ?"
IL dreamed that you took me by the
hand, and said to me, Sir William john

bracing nearly one hundred thousand
acres of choice land.

outdone in generosity.

said. 1.-THE land is yours"
And after pause he added, with sig

"Sir William, we won't dream any

A novel defence was set up by q gentle
man named Mr.. Joseph Sobers, tried at the
last Barbados Assizes. He was charged
on the indictment with breaking and
entering the dweIling.hOuse of one Richard
Yearwood. The report runs: "On being
asked by the prosecutor what business he
bad in his house at the time, prisoner assur-
ed him that he was there quite against
bis will /; as, on passing q Hill next by
prosecutors house, q high wind lifted him
off the ground, and threw him through

phenomenon, and the scientific Sobers is

gave way, and the rushing torrent Of water
which burst out swept away buildings and

Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy feet
deep, but Lake Ontario. which is 500 feet

Fear of a great disgrace led three sisters

Sunday last. They had been arrested on charge
of stealing articles belonging to tenant who oc-

bail to appear for trial. A friend, upon entering
the house Sunday night, found the three women
apparently dead one lying insensible upon bed,
another upon a lounge and third upon the floor.
A physician was instantly summoned, who, upon
coming, declared that the women had been taking
poison. Antidotes were given them, which re-
stored them to consciousness, but, in the opinion
of the physician, one of the women cannot recov-
err, and the other two have even chance of v-
ing or dying.
