Cure for Frosted Feet.

When a boy had my feet badly frozen
my uncle with whom / lived kept in his
house Baton's British oil, and used it for all
diseases to which man was heir. After ap-
plying every remedy to my frosted toes,
Which my aunt aud neghbors were pos
sessed of, concluded that what would cure
my uneles aches, would cure mine, and ap-
piled his favorlte oil to my diseased feet. 1t
acted like a charm. A few applications
cured my feet. l have since recommended
it to others, and have used it in my family
for frost bites, and in every case it has prov
ed an immediate and permanent cure.
This oil can be had any drug store, and or
ly costs ten cents bottle. Ii you think
this will be OF any use to your many readers,
tell them so. e. l.. 1T.

The Wig in discussing the debt question
gives the following pertinent and fcrcible
facts:
No nation can pay per cent. on its ma
tional debt and prosper. It is utterly i'm :
possible, for the reason that agriculture is
the source of all wealth, and yields rarely
above ) per cent. OIL the capital invested.
The property Of Virginia is $500, ,OOO--
containing twenty-fonr million acres Of land
with only eight millions in cultivation or
one third, which yields any profit, say per
cent. on slQ7, 100000, which makes $3,2iO,-
600. which is about what the country puts
into the State treasury. So the funders will
please observe the land cannot stand any
more taxation, for all is taken up already
that is possible for it to furnish, "

That gentleman WIS present as delegate,
aud made speech in pretty much tile same
spirit of his recent letter. The response
given by the Convention is embraced in the
following resolutions. which. with others,
constitute the platform adopted
Resozrcd, That the Republicans of New
Hampshire reaf1irm and readopt the Cncin-
natl platform, which pledged the party to
these declarations and principles, to wit ::
The United States OF America is a nation :;
the full proteetlo. ut all citizens in the full
enjoyment OF all their rights the perma
nent paciAcation Of the Southern section Of
the Union the redemption of the United
States notes in coin by continuous and
steady progress to specie payments; that
Senators and Representatives, who may be
judges and accusers, shonld not dictate the
appointment to offices; the inyariable rule
for appointments to have reference to hon
esiy, fidelity and cspability of appointces;
leaving to the party in power those places
where the harmony and vigor of the admin
istration require its policy to be represent
ed, the depreciation Of all sectional feelings
and tendencies, the speedy, thorough and
uuspsrinx prosecution and punishment of
sll who betray official trusts; opposition to
further land grants to corporations and
Monopoles the adjustment of duties upon
imports for revenue so as to promote the
interest of American labor and advance tie
prosperity Of the whole people.
ReSslred, That we recognize the para
mount duty Of President Hayes to render
these high and solemn professions actual
aud living realities. and while we admit an
hspest difference OF opinion in respect to his
past acts, we welcome and approve his pa
triotic and sincere efforts to keep faith with
the people and secure to the whole country
the blessings of just, efficient and honest
Republican national administration.
Kes0lted. That free and unobstructed
passage to the baltot-box is the constitution
al right Of every citizen, OF whatever race.
color or condition. In according and de-
Tending that right the Republican party
has proved that it is the true national party,
while the Democratic party, opposing and
denying that right. through intimidation
and violence, has shown that it is the real
sectional party.
Rssotesa, That universal education, aided
aud enforced by legal authority, is the only
safe and enduring basis Oh which republic
can governments and institutions can rest,
Therefore We demand OF Congress and
the Legislature the institution of such
means, compulsory i: need be, which shall
secure 10 the children Of the republic pri-
mary education, so that every voter shall
be able to read and understand the ballot
that he casts.
