. German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was
ever given such test of its curative
qualities as Boschee's German Syrup.
In three years two million four hundred
thousand small bottles of this medicine
were distributed free of charge by drug
gists in this country to those afflicted
with Consumption, Asthma, Group, Sc
we're Coughs, Pneumonia, and other dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs, giving
the American people undeniable proof
that German Syrup will cure them.
The result has been that druggists in
every town and village in the United
States are recommending it to their Gus
toners. Go to your druggist and ask
what he knows about it. Sample bot
ties 10 cents. Regular size, Is cents.
Three doses will relieve any case. Sold

Posi- OFFICE CHANGEs.-Mr. VIM.
Dickey, postmaster at Chatham, in this
county, has rendered his resignation of
the Office to take effect at the close of
the present quarter. A petition has
been sent in for the appointment Of E.
ID. johnson as his successor.
A movement of parties receiving mail
at the Rowley postoffice is on foot for a
change of postmasters at that Office.
For some time past there has been COM
plants of the present incumbent, the
justice of which we, of course, are not
in position to judge. Those who de-
sire the change, favor the appointment
of Mr. j. w. Cooper, who held the posi-
ton once before, and is capable man.

ONE of our citizens who has an ire
sistable fondness for practical jokes,
was made the recipient of one at the
hands of number of his victims on
Christmas morning. He had received
several presents from abroad the day
before Christmas, and when importuncd
by the said victims to exhibit them, had
refused, saying that he would wait until
the next morning and enjoy the surprise
alone. During the day his friends open
ed parcel directed to him, and, taking
therefrom beautiful fur cap, substitu-
ted an old coonskin affair, which was
purchased for twenty cents. The real
present they delivered to his wife, who,
having doubtless more than once been
sacrificed to his mania for joking, enter
ed heartily into the conspiracy, and
promised secrecy. Christmas morning
came, and our friend was up and exam
lining his presents as soon as the day
light would permit. When he opened
the package containing the cap and took
the sham out, he was at loss to know
what it meant, but his wife's screams of
laughter about this time revealed to him
only too truly his sad predicament
While he was bordering how to get the
bona file article, it was placed in his
hands by his wife, and the plot made
known to him. 1t was some time be-
fore he could muster sufficient courage
to face his tormentors, but he finally
passed the ordeal, though he will not
soon be allowed to forget the circum-
stance. He will undoubtedly close all
vulnerable parts of his armor hereafter
against the conspiracies of his vengeful
victims.

We know that friend Talmadge of the
Gazette would not Intentionally do us
injustice, but that he has really misrep-
resented the spirit of our article in the
in the above paragraph we think he will
readily admit upon further perusal of
our remarks. So far from making a
point of the fact that Fayette county
has liberal number Of the Offices of
the Insane Hospital. our allusion to it
was merely incidental and passing. We
have never been disposed to make an is
sue of locality and certainly are not in
this case.
Again, regarding the displacement Of
Mr.. Smeallie, though we regard the
manner of doing it unjust to him, and
the influence that brought it about such
as should not have prevailed, still, in
our previous article we expressly de-
clined to urge the merely personal as
poets of the question. What we did
make prominent was our hearty disap-
probation of the selfish schemes for per-
sonal and local advantage, and the ne
potism which sometimes crops out in
the Boards placed over our State insti-
tutions, of which the case in point
is an example. Whatever the qualifca-
tions and personal merit of Mr. Appel
man, the new Steward-we do not dis
parage them-we maintain that the
spectacle of his mother, holding the Of
flee of trustee, and at the same time
scheming for his appointment, and then
securing his election by her own vote,
was not an edifying spectacle, or such
action as in its tendencies is calculated
to advance the interests of the institu-
ton over the management of which she
has partial control. Upon this point,
and the general plea for Boards of
Trustees who can forget, in their fidelity
to the interests of the whole State, that
they are the residents of certain town,
or members of a certain family which
constitutes the gist of our former arti-
cle,-we should be glad to have the
opinion Of our friend of the Gazette IF
reference to the locality argument has
any weight, the Gazette's argument is
hating Because our county has the
Hospital, it does not follow that Fayette
should monopolize the Offices. But on
this score we have no serious objections
to urge.

He managed to stammer out few

| The festivities Of Christmas were OBJ
served in this city in much the usual
manner, though the weather was any
thing but conducive to merrimcnt. The
Presbyterian, Episcopal and Baptist So
cietics had each appropriate exercises in
their respective churches on Christmas
Eve, and although we had the pleas
ure Of visiting but one-the latter, we
have been informed that large number
Of costly and useful presents were given
ont at each place. The Episcopal
church drew from all who entered it re-
marks and EXPLANATIONS Of admiration
for its splendid decoration, which doubt
less was finer than any of the other
churches. At the Baptist church, in
stead of the customary Christmas
tree as heretofore, large pyramid
was erected upon the rostrum, upon
which were displayed gorgeous array
of presents by the aid of innumerable
wax tapers; the whole forming scene
of nearly dazzling beauty, which caused
many pair of young eyes-and some
that were not SO young-to shine with
wonder and expectancy. We were in
formed that nearly $500 worth of pres
ents were displayed upon this pyramid.
The presents were given away by full
costumed St. Nicholas, assisted by a
new character on such occasions, being
none other than Mrs. St. Nicholas. The
exercises were interspersed with recita-
tons, addresses and singing, and all de-
parted with the feeling that the occa-
sion had been happy one.
Christmas day passed without any
thing unusal occurring. Our sportsmen
improved the occasion to indulge in a
shooting tournament on the west side Of
the river, and our experts in the ang-
ling line had the satisfaction of captur-
ing good strings of fish from the river
The band appeared on the street in the
afternoon and entertained their listeners
with some delightful music, and gave a
ball at Leytze's hall in the evening,
which was largely attended.
Our merchants have no cause to com
plain of a light holiday trade, as it was
larger in all branches than for number
of years. This fact, considering the
of the roads, which were al
most impossible, is hopeful and en-
couraging sign of the good times COM
ing.
All things considered, our people will
look upon Christmas; 1877, as the mer-
riest for some years, and it will be re-
called with feelings of genuine pleas
