Bea. Gody's Lady's Book is about to change
hands. For over forty years we have been ac-
quainted with this household companion. We
remember its first appearance, and we remem-
Der Cooley himself at that time. We knew even
the Lady who folded and stitched the first num-
bcr; she was the widow of printer, Mr.. Milf
fin, formerly Of the firm Of Mifilin s. Parry of
Philadelphia. And from the first to the last,
Godcy's Lady's Book has kept an upward course.
Never have we seen in its pages an immoral ar
ticle nor partizan political sentiment. We
have watchedits pages closely and have ever been
pleased with it as work of pure light literature
and an educator of the American female, in all
that is essential for the economy, comfort and
health oil The members of the household.
Ia December next Mr.. Cooley will retire from
the work he has loved SO long, and in which he
has performed his duti IS SO cmincntly to the
satisfaction Of his untold numbers Of patrons
and to kis honor. May the last days of
his we'll spent life he peaceful and serene and
his reward be III cte,ral glory.

Bishop Howe would continue his annual visit to
this Parish until after Sunday following Friday
the l7th.
On his present visit through the diocese he
intends visiting as near as possible, oil the
smaller Churches located in the country, and it
will be impossible for him TO spend more than
one day with but few if any Of them He will
hold Divine servces, in the church ofthe Nativity
at this place on Friday morning only, and al-

CS5" We regret to learn that an effort is being
made to distract the democratic party in this
County upon the Fence Law.
We canRot see how that can be done, if the
law is properly represented. Now, if the law
had been made absolute, there might be some
reason for making it question for consid-
GRAFTON in the next campaign but as it has
no legal force until majority of the people
sanction it by their votes, we cannot see why
the complaint is made so bitter against it. Let
the people vote upon it. If q majority shall de-
eide in its favor then it viii become absolute
law but if majority shall vote against it, the
old law and customs will remain in force, and
there will be an end Of il. We fear there are
some good democratic aspirants for Office, on
both sides Of the question, anxious 10 drag the
subject into politics. II is an abstract question
and should be considered and discussed solely

mcnts Tor and against ;hc Law, on one like it,
and every man is entitled to his opinion rs TO

A Scotch Rain.

Lock and adjacent mountains were
stepped in rain and mist; darkness
brooded over the moor; the green slope
of Ben dig was changed to a yellow
ish brown, and streaked with brawl-
ing torrents, and the one rambling
street of the little town sloppy and
deserted, and overcast with that ap-
palling dreariness which is to be
found in its very acme only in a sea-
ward town during rain-andmist
storm. Not an honest, clustering,
angry storm. l am patriotic! Not
only so, but I can gaze hopefully at a
whirlwind of temper, while | loathe
sullenness, or, as the Scotch used to
call it, ''strunts,' in their own very
incisive but now almost discarded
language. Therefore give me mer-
ciless Vermont tempest, that descends
at once in all its might and fury and
exultant ferocity only to be forthwith
rent and hurled back into Erebus at
the peremptory, resistless beck of his
solar majesty; give me that, trebly en-
ragged, before the mean, oozing, per-
vading, silent, dishaertening clam
miness of embrace of a Highland
rain-mist. Was there ever a ScoLoh
poet who left his own country to look
on other skies, and, having returned
to it, sang its soaking glorles in the
tender but know-nothing- betterstrains
of his youth 4? 1t is not the heavens
that seem to rain in western Scotland;

The Conflict Of Ages.

Men differ on nearly every issue
There have always been opposite par
ties in politics and religion, though
the measures fought over one day
may be universally adopted at anoth-
er, and those sacrificed regarded as
heroes and martyrs. Medicine has
also been subject to revolutionary dis
tarbances. When Drs. Harvey and
Jenner announced their discoveries,
they were held in contempt and ridi-
cule by an incredulous and ignorant
public, yet to-day they are received
and honored by all as benefactors.
When DR.. Pierce announced his Dis
couery, many seemed to doubt, ami
were skeptical concerning all medi.
, cines and doctors, but proof of merit
has dispelled all about, and to-day the
Golden Medical Discovery is the stand
ard remedy in curing the most obsti
nate diseases of the liver and blood,
having almost entirely superseded the
old-time sarsaparillas by reason of its
superior merits.

An Ideal Political Paper.

A rich, eccentric old maiden lady,
is represented to have pledged herself
to launch her bright young nephew
in the editorial business, with outfit
complete for publishing d FIRST class
political paper, on condition that he
would faithfully observe the following
directions:
First you must make no personal
attacks, and you must reply to none
made upon you. You must confound
and bewilder your adversaries by pub
fishing gentlemanly, political news
paper.
Second, you must never make men
tion of gentlemanly and efficient hotel
clerks, massive and brilliant railroad
conductors, beautiful and accomplish
ed steamboat captains, and the like.
The dead head literature of this aga
is more servile and nauseating than
the old time dedications to patrons.
Third, after the election you must
not print Now that the smoke of the
great political conflict begins to lift
FROM the battlefield Of the contending
tickets and corrected lists of the killed,
wounded and missing are beginning
to come in, etc.-or words to that ef-
fect-oftener than once in two years.
Fourth, you must condense the
news each week, into single article,
to be written, not clipped and you
must honestly give credit not only for
what you copy, but for what you con-
dense from other papers.--EI.

Cure For Diphtheria.
A correspondent of q Victoria o

A correspondent of Victoria pa
per writes
Shonld you or any of your family
be attacked with diptheria, do not be
alarmed, as it is easily and speedily
cured without doctor. When it was
raging in England a few years ago l
accompanied DR.. Field on his rounds,
to witness the so-called wonderful
cures" he performed, while the pa
tients of others were dropping on all
sides. The remedy to be SO rapid,
must be mple. All he took with
him was powder ofsulphur and quill,
and with these he cured every patient,
without exception. He put table
spoonful of -four of birthstone into q
wineglass of water and stirred it with
his finger, instead of spoon, as the
sulphur does not readily amalgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed he gave it as a gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger. Birthstone kills every
species of fungus in man, beast, and
plant, in few minutes. Instead of
splitting out the gargle, he recommend
ed the swallowing of it. In extreme
cases, in which he had been called
Just in the nick of time, when the fun
gus was too nearly closing to allow
the garg.ing, he blew the sulphur
through a quill into the throat. and
after the fungus had shrunk to allow
of it, then the gargiing He never
lost a patient from diphtheria. II a
patiert cannot gargle, take live coal,
put on shovel, and sprinkle a spoon
full or two of -four Of birthstone at a
time upon it; let the sufferer inhale
it, holding the head over it, and the
fungus will die If plentifully used,
the whole room may be filled almost
to suffocation; the patient can walk
about in it, inhaling the fumes, with
doors and windows shut. The mode
of fumlgating room with sulphur
has often cured most violent attacks
Of cold in the head chest, ETC., at any
time, and is recommended in cases Of
consumption and asthma.

THE FIRST CLIENT.
IA Legal Dtty to be Sung acittout Chorus to
the dir Of "7He Kings Old Courtier."l
BY IRWIN RUSSELL.


John Smith, a young attorney just admit
ted to the bar,
Was solemn and sagaclous as-as young
attorneys are;
And frown of deep abstraction held the
seizin of his face
The result of contemplation of the rule in
Shelley's Case.
One day in term, time Mr.. Smith was sitting
in the court,
When some good men and true of the body
of the county did on their oath rep TT,
That heretofore, to wit upon the second
day of May,
A. ID. 1877, about the hour of noon, in the
county and state aforesaid, one Joseph
Scroggs, late of said county, I'D then
and there feloniousIy take, steal and
carry away
One bay horse, of the value of fifty dollars,
more or less
CThe same then and there being the proper
ty, goods and chattles of one Hezekiah
Hess3
Contrary to the statutes in such case ex-
pressly made
And provided; and against the peace and
dignity of the state wherein the venue
had been laid.
The prisoner. Joseph Scroggs, was then
arraigned upon this charge,
And plead Not guilty. and of this he
threw himself upon the country at large;
And said Joseph being poor the court did
gracious'y appoint
Mr. Smith to defend him-much on the
same principle that obtains in every
charity hospital, where young medi
cal student is often set to rcctify SER
ious injury to an organ or joint
The witnesses seemed prejudiced against
poor Mr. Scroggs;
And the district attorney made thrilling
speech, in which he told the jury that
if they didn't find for the state he rec
oned he'd have 10 walk their logs"
Then Mr. Smith arose and made his speech
for The defense,
Wherein he quoted Shakespeare, Blackstone,
Chitty, Archbold. Joaquin Miller,
Story, Kent Tupper, Smedes and Mar
shall, and MANY other writers, and
everybody said they "never heerd SIGH
bust of eloouence"
And he said: "On this hypothesis, my
client must GO Free"
And Again, on Mas hypothesis, it's NOR
ally impossible that he could be guilty,
don't you see?"
And "Then, on this hypothesis, you really
can't convict
And so on, with forty six more hypothesis,
upon none of which, Mr. Smith ably
demonstrated, could Scroggs he dere
lict
But the jury, never stirring from the box
wherein they sat,
Returned verdict of Guilty" and his
honor straightway sentenced Scroggs
to three-year term in the penitentiary
and heavy fine, and the costs on the
top of that;
And the prisoner, in wild delight, got up
and danced and sung;
And when they asked him the reason of
this strange behavior, he said: Its
because l got off so easy-for f th,re'd
la' been a few more of them darned
hopothesises, should certainly have
been hung"

Twin Points in Law.

The Springfield Republican. says:
A peculiar case is soon to come up
for adjudication in this county, which
is believed to be without precedent in
the State.
A man, who died recently, made
his will leaving one-third of the es-
tate to his wife one third to his only
living child, and the other third to
the child soon to be born. The pos
thumous issue proved, however, to be
twins, and the question is delicate
one as to what their share shall be in
the property.
Some think the will must be de-
clared void, and various views Of equi-
ty OF the case can be held one that
the twins should each have sixth of
the estate, another that the two-thirds
left after the widows legacy should
be equally divided between the chill
dren and yet another that the widow
and the children should each have
one-fourth of the estate. The matter
will probably be carried to the SUI
preme Court finally to have the will
reformed, and, the case will stand
as an awful warning to people not to
make wills for their children until
they have chance to count them.
