A Terrible Couch.

How often we hear the above remark
during these extreme changes Of weather
Colds, coughs and sore tEroats were never
as pr evalent among children as now. Now
we are going to urge you to try a remedy
which has excited comments by physicians
all over the country, who acknowledge
their surprise at the wonderful and happy
results from its use. That remedy is the
well-known preparation, HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL. Your own druggists in Water
town will tell you that it is the best cough
medicine they ever sold; and warrant a
cure or return your money to you in case
of a failure after using one half the bottle
1t is very pleasant to the taste, making it
very desirable remedy for children.

The Cunning Lectures.

The gentlemen who have in charge the
course of lectures by Prof. Cunning, are
meeting with moderate success only. About
half enough tickets have been taken as yet
and unless their efforts meet with more
liberal response, the project will prove a
failure. Prof Cunning offers to come here
on the most reasonable terms-for less than
half what he receives in other cities-and
our citizens ought not to throw away this
chance of procuring the services of one Of
the most eminent lecturers now on the
American platform. Everywhere he goes
he is enthusiastically received. HisIectures
on Geology are very popular, and he pre-
sents this subject with the aid of illustra-
tons in a way that child can understand
it. We hope that the requisite number of
tickets can be sold to insure success to the
undertaking.

company on the skirmish line, but forget

"Scatter ye divils." 1t was his canteen that

march Tom made a CORY speech in the
Democratic war convention in Milwaukee
last week, and in the course of his eloquence
he accused his companion in arms of bull

Tom had said that his canteen was bull

statement, for many time was Brigade

The Pn9nix Company.

The Phoenix Fire Company have fitted up
their apartment over the engine room in
fine style, displaying considerable good
taste, judgment and enterprise on the part
of the members. In the arrangements they
have not only looked out for comfort, but
for intellectual culture and enjoyment. A
large number of papers are kept on file for
the benefit of the members, and something
has been done, We believe, to start library.
In these cosy quarters the members meet
each evening" occupying their leisure hours
in reading and mutual enjoyment. The
Phoenix boys are on the right track, and
we wish them every success in their efforts
to advance the interests of the company,
and especially in the cultivation OF those
tastes which are best adapted to make men
better.
