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 comp
led with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in tEeir close i'm
itation Of our Trade Mark. To secure
the people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac simile of the signature Of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Hsydock. To counter
felt is felony. We shall releutlessly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the almost vigor Of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass of the
American people viii aid Us in our ef-
forts to protect their health, and help
us in our task of bringing these most
unprincipled men to justice. Uniform
ly refuse to purchase Medicines purport-
ing TO be ours unless DIR. Jos. Hsydocks
signature is attached TO each box Of
Pills or pot of Ointment and the end
will soon be reached.
The public's obedient servants,
HoLLowAY n Co.

Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, celebrated
for her great suit against the city Of
New Orleans, claiming property valued
at S35, 100000 has just had another di-
cision rendered in her favor, by the U.
S. district court. She has only obtained
S6,O0O,0O0 in her long contest covering
half century, and has spent fabulous
sums OF money in prosecuting her
claims.
The heroine Of this romantic story is
a little, black-eyed lady Of over seventy,
who retains traces of former uncommon
beauty. She is we'll educated, quick
and courageous. Her long and varied
experience in law courts has given her
legal education of no mean character.
On several occasions, and notably in the
Supreme Court of the United States n
1861, she has pleaded her own case per,
sonally and with remarkable success.

There is a startling epidemic of baby
shows in the west. In one day three Of
the halls in Cincinnati we're given over
10 this sort of entertainment, and we
are told that there were two hundred
fine looking babies, ''quite a number
from the wealthiest families of the city"
There was also eolored baby-show for
"two nights only" at which number
of white bachelors were judges. The
arrangement and display of infants
were perfect" there being zone CON-
plete set OF triplets,' according to q
newspaper account. The police arrange
ments, it is comfortable to know, were
thorough, for one shudders to contem-
plate what might have been the result
had the colored Misunderstanding the
one complete set Of triplets--got loose
among the prominent white bachelors.
Cincinnati justly feels very proud OF
this last baby show, as it is the hrst
colored entertainment of the kind ever
given in this or any other country.

1t would seem that DR.. Mallalieu,
who moved the bloody-shirt resolutions
in the New England Methodist Confer
ence, which were so prudently laid
aside by the second sober thought of
that body, is likely to be more than
ever out of favor. The Norwich (Ct.)
Bulletin learns of a wealthy brother in
that city who had willed his property
to the Methodist benevolent societies,
but burned the documents in disgust on
reading those resolutions. Men who
would "applaud" such stuff are not to
have the disposition of his money.

THE ORIGIN OF NAV.

O0e OF the Deautitui ualS ot iast week
a young lady, well known in the ex-
elusive first circles Of San Francisco
society for unrivaled personal charms
and elegance Of accomplishments, was
driven around to make congratulatory
call upon married lady friend who
was happily consalesciug from that oc-
casional sacred event in the lives of
welded ladies, which, far from being
sickness, is the perfect culmination Of
their health. She was shown into the
parlor, aud for tew inmates required
to arrange for the reception in that room
where mother and child were doing as
well as could be expected, was left
with no other to entertain her than tho
only son and heir OF the house, Master
Charles, then in his fourth year. But
Charlie was fully equal to the situation,
and promises TO grow up into an orns-
ment of society that will never be abash-
ed by beauty, however brilliant, into
the painful negative of'no conversation"
After SOME unessential preliminary re-
marks, Master Charles approached near
the visitor and, lowering his tone into
the confidential, asked:

Things Generally.

Editor Herald:
have just been on a trip in the inter>
est of my paper-the Temperance Adj
vance, in which | metwith grand success. |
Everywhere | heard the name "IIartford |
Herald uttered frequently and always eu-
logistically. Al Greenville spent twenty
four hours. Some of the stores have just
been filled up with new goods. The large
brick known as the Summers House,
now kept by the Messrs. Kahn, formerly
Of Rockport, is chuck full. l think |
never saw such a stock in an inland
town.
Mr.. ]. C. Howard has full store. He
is gentleman of the first order and al
ways deals fairly. Try him when you 60
to Greenville.
Mr.. C. E. Fades has just opened
handsome stock of groceries, confection-
cries, &c. He is doing well; but time
and space forbids me to mention all the
houses. Suffice 1t to say that Greenville
is nice place and the citizens clever
people The only noticeable feature to
object to is the drinking establishments.
Greenville is badly cursed in this respect;
but as the Temperance Advance has now
twenty mine subscribers, it is hoped its i'm
huence will greatly promote reformation
there.
AT South Carrollton there are two bar.
rooms, but learned that the patronage
is insufficient to render them prosperous.
This speaks well for the place. The
South Carrollton Institute, over which
Prof Wayland Alexander presides so eff
ficiently, has just claim to much of the
honor due for the moral status OF the
town. 1t is surprising to note the pros
perity and efficiency of this school. Al
though. in its infancy, it has already
matriculated us students this session
and the cry is "still they come" The
large new building for the school Is rap,
idly experimenting completion. Soon
they will be Strengthened out, and then
few if any inland towns will be able tC
boast of better educational advantage:
than South Carrollton. All honor to
such men as Waylsnd Alexander, Rev.
, NJ. Peay, DR.. J. s. Coleman and Others

The Commissioners, A. b. Baird,
5. Woodward and I. ]. Smith, have
completed their labOrs in dividing the
county into magisterial and voting dis
tricts and have filed their written re-
port with the County Judge.
They recommend six magisterial
districts and twelve voting places.
We are pleased with the number Of
districts. as we never could see the
necessity of twenty-five magistrates
and eleven eonstables. Twelve magis-
trates and six constables are quite suffi-
cisnt and will do the business as well
ss the former number; besides it will
pay them better and they can afford
10 give more time and attention to
their office duties.
When the Judge passes upon the
report we win publish it as adopted in
full. Every voter in the county will
want a copy to keep, as it will show
the exact bounds of each magisteriaI
aud voting district. We will publish
several hundred extra copies of tina
