at Deerfield, that it has ever been our good for

SPECIAL NOTICES.

ba THE GREAT HEALTH RE-
allages of the world the skill and
scientific attachments of man have been direct
ed to study OF the human system and dis
covery OF the various ills to which it is heir IT.
after years of constant application, some distin-
gu1shed physician has succeeded in compound
ing an agent by which the slightest ache may
be overcome, he has been hailed as a great
benefactor of his race, and with great propriety
the world have gladly sung pseans to his praise.
This being proper in the discovery of remedy
for single disease, how much more indebted
are the whole human family to the inventor OF
BAKERS BITTEES, a medicine that has stood
the test Of time, and proved q panacea for Dys-
pepsia, Diarrhaa, Cholera Morbus, Cramp
Cholic, Giddiness, Nervous Debility, Loss of APP
petite, and Sour Stomach, while the various
nostrums of quacks and empires have flour
ished for an hour and then disappeared never
again to be revived,
BAKERS BITTFEs are now used in hundreds
OF families IA Virginia as their only medicine
and that they are appreciated even by medical
men as tonic of great virtue, is abundantly at
tested by hundreds of certificates in the hands
of the Proprietor.
BAKERS BIrrERs are compounded entirely
of vegetable extracts, which are SO harmoni-
Ously blended that all ages and sexes may use
them with benefit, and without the fear OF
the slightest injury. Try them by all means.
and then speak Of them to the afflicted as they
deserve.

what the Marshal of New York Says.

The following Endorsement will be of interest
to many who have not yet tested these essen

OFFICE OF PATRICK DAILY. City Marshal
New York. June Ii, 1878.
WILBUR c. BENTON, ESQ.,, BrOwnstown, In
diana-Dear Sir: l have given your SPEED
ACoELERATORs a thorough test, single, double,
attached them to the reins, to the saddle, over
draw and check-rein. In my Judgment they
are the most excellent things ever Invented to
produce speed and comfort FOR horses.
HOrsemen and humanitarianS have for years
sought to invent attachments for horses
mouths, the former looking principally to
speeQ the latter seeking relief for the horse from
thest3ain of checks and bits on the mouth
The ACCELERATORs accomplish both, for they
remove the permanent strain of checks and
bits from the mouth and head of the horse by
imparting the proper elasticity, which the
horse feels Immediately, and improves at once
in style and speed. Owners of horses, whether
trOtters, rOadsters, coach or business horses,
should use them. Any horseman who gives
your ACCELERAToRs a trial will not only in
dorse what say, but recommend them to eve
ry one owning horses.
Hoping you will succeed in establishing what
firmly believe to be the heat thing ever de-
vised foY Aorses. is the Wish OF one thoroughly
convinced Of their usefulness.
Yours, truly,
PATRICK DAILY, City Marshal.

A VICTORIOUS BABY.-Itappears that
babies have some rights which even
boardefs are hoHnd to respect. The oc-
cupant of the third story of 2 New York
apartment house lately got out tenn
porary injunction against the rolling of
baby carriage over the floor above him
at night by the miserable father of a
teething baby, declaring that the noise
was intolerable and deprived him of
sleep, and the case having been argued
before Judge Van Holsen on motion to
make'th injunction permanent the lat
ter has dissolved it. The learned judge
in his opinion, gays that the situation of
dwellers in apartments, while In some
respects it has greater advantages than
that of those who occupy an entire
house, in other respects has less, and
they cannot expect the same quiet and
repose. The man who occupies room
in hotel must not be surprised If ava
kened at an unreasonable hour by the
heavy footstep of some passing guest,
nor need the plaintiffbe surprised by the
use of any ordinary means WHICH the
defendant might employ to lull his child
to sleep. No man has right to such
immunity from noise that his neighbor
cannot stir in his own room. The der
PENDANT had perfect right to use the
carriage in place of cradle, though his
honor intimated that good neighborship
might suggest the use of o swinging
cradle, which would answer the purpose
equally well without making any noise,
AS matter of law, if the defendant him
self were taken sick and obliged to walk
the floor all night through pain, the
plaintiff would have no right to insist
that he should use India rubbers. Where
people indulge their inclination to be
gregarious they must not expect the
quiet that belongs 70 solitude. Of course
This decision does not apply to eases
where there is clear proof that the noise
is unreasonable and made without due
regard to the rights and comfort of the
plaintiff.
