Astonishing Success.

It is the dutyof every person who has used BosoHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let it's wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without imme- diate relief Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bot ties were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such amedicine as the GERMAN SYRUP cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try, sold at 1Ocents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by A. s. WRIGHT 6 O.

The recent controversy regarding the verac- ity of Charles Sumner is at last settled It seems that Gen. Grant had been told by Sec Fish that Mr. Sumner, while chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, had been in the habit of keeping back treaties; and that, at the time of his removal, large num- Der of treaties had not been reported by the Committee. Gen. Grant, while abroad, repeat ed this statement as proof that MT. Summers assertion that the business of his committee had always been promptly attended to, was lie. An examination of executive records of the Senate, published by permission of that body, proves that Mir. Sumner was entirely right and Sec. Fish entirely wrong as regards the matter.

in drinking. "A great many persons
went TO funerals then, said DIR. Patton
They went early, and did not leave

At length the Doctor got just ole
