Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case, and we consider it the
Guty of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try IL bottle, as 10000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can
not be too widely known. Ask your
Druggist about it. Sample bottles to
try sold at 10 cents. Regular size rs
cents. For sale by j. P. Brookins &
Son, Eatony o., and j. H. Bohn, Cam

A Grand "Chivieree."

An Unfair supper took place four
miles west of this place. Quite a
number of friends were invited and
some more would have been had it
not been for close neighbors being in
the way. Everything passed off quiet
ly until about s o'clock, when Capt.
Harris marched 6S men through the
gates. The word was given, the fir
ing commenced, after one hour of
shooting, blowing of horns and rat
Ting of bells, the host came out and
ceased the noise by promising the APP
pearance> of the bride and groom.
Soon supper was announced, the
guests being seated, the young Drug
gist of Eaton took it upon himself to
be chief waiter. The fowl was carv-
ed. This part of the county should
have the credit of growing the largest
turkey that was ever known-it fed
eighty persons, and the young Drug
gist could have fed a hundred had
there been that many there. The ia
BILE from appearance was grand and
magnificent, but the desert was for
gotten on account of the waiter being
annoyed by the band outside. The
serenade was the largest and grandest
that ever took place in the neighbour
hood, but the host and hostess forgot
to invite them to partake of the abund-
ance of fine things provided for the
occasion, and they all returned home
disappointed and hungry, retired
weary and sore-footed, dreaming of
happy marriages, big turkeys and lots
of sweet things. OBSERVER.
accompanying the above manu-
script, left on our table on Thursday
of last week, was one of the largest

Birthday Sunrise.

On Tuesday, the 9th day of No
vember, 1877, at the residence of Mrs.
Martha Dickey, at Camden, o., was
the scene of one of those happy &C.
currences which are becoming COM
mona birthday surprise. Mrs. Dick
ey was the one who was surprised, as
it was her 18th birthday. Her Cam
den friends who had information of
the intended surprise, had invited a
kind lady friend to entertain Mrs. D..
by reading during the early part of
the day, and so we'll did she perform
her part, that the old lady had no sus-
picion of the preparations going on
about her house until after the arriv-
a. of the train from Eaton, when a
crowd of her old lady friends from
Eaton presented themselves in her
sitting room bearing with them kind
mementoes in the shape of birthday
presents. 1t was indeed a joyful and
happy surprise, when she found so
MANY of her Eaton friends we're with
her, and that her Camden friends had
come to her house, and while she was
listening to the reading of her kind
friend, had prepared a most sumptu-
Gus feast, without her knowing any
thing about it. After the feast was
over Mrs. Dickey entertained her
guests in a very pleasant manner, by
relating the numerous attempted es-
capes from the county Jail when her
late husband, John L. Dickey, decd,
was Sheriff of this county, and the
part she bore in preventing the escape
of prisoners, and recalled many Incl
dents which occurred about Eaton
when her visitors were young girls,
Her visitors were on their part sur.
prised when they learned that, not.
withstanding the age and infrmities
of their kind hostess, her willing
hands were finding something to dc
in the way of useful employment
that she had made in the last veal
with her own hands 81 yards of beau.
tiful carpet, which she exhibited tc
her visitors, saying that she had been
educated at a time when labor wal
necessary and honorable, and she hat
never overcome her early training
Take it all in all, it was a very enjoy
able affair, and will long be remem
Ibercd by those present. 80

School Exercises.

On Friday, Dec. 81, the Eaton
Schools completed the first term of
the current year. The most import
ant feature of the day were the High
School exercises. The time honored
custom of "bringing out" the seniors
before the public for the first time,
was duly observed. The DON of the
High School was tastefully adorned
with ferns and flowers and most ex-
celleut music was provided BY the
school. Early in the afternoon a large
audience, consisting of citizens, menu
bers of the School Board, teachers
aud pupils, assembled to listen to the
essays and orations of the largest
senior class the Eaton Schools have
yet seen. The names ofthe class with
subjects are as follows:
Jno Alexander, s'The Worlds Trim
ity, Gold, Fame and Pleasure"
May Acton, Society"
Cassie Alderman. "Words."
Willard Michael, "Life Under
ground"
Della Cans, "Clouds."
Emma Kayler, "rhe Crumb Gath

Frank Tizzard, "The Worlds Ben
~efactors."
Laura Mitchell, Nature"
Jennie Pierson, "Sunken Pearls"
Elmer Welsh, "a Little Learning"
Florence Stephen, "Beauty."
Fannie Van Dorcn, FThe Sweetest
Music"
The essays and orations were well
prepared and well delivered. After
the exercises of the class were COM
pleted remarks and addresses were
made by Judge Campbell, the Presi-
dent of the School Board, Mr.. Rob't
Miller, Revs. Garoutte, Reynolds and
Cowden, Mr.. John Risinger and Mr..

Christmas.

Christmas day in Eaton was a disa-
greeable, gloomy, dark and rainy day,
and but few people were in town. How
ever, the situation was accepted, and
everybody you met on the streets in
the pattering rain looked cheerful and
happy and seemed to smile a "merry
Christmas The jewelers., the gro
GERS and the book sellers, all had done
a good business and the Churches each
distributed to the good 'Sabbhth school
scholars the usual holiday gifts-the
hotels fed their guests on turkey and
cranberry sauee-families gathered
around the ~uld home'' and heartily
enjoyed the meetings-and thus closed
the Christmas of 1877.
