Ayers Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb ARuee
Periodical CT Bilious Fever, 60, and indeed
all the affections which arise from malart-
Gus, marsh, or miasmatio poisonB.
This is q compound remedy prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails TO cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities Of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yetdiscovered for the
cure of Intermttents is that 1t contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take il are freo
from danger of qluinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using 1t as before. lt
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that thas gained the reputation Of being mfal-
lible. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as q sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague the West, and the Chills and Fever OF
the South. II counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its innu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by il, do not return until tho
disease is again contracted

The Maumce Prcsbl ltery.--In accord
ance with previous announcement the
Mnumee Presbytery assembled here on
Wednesday afternoon, TO settle, if possible,
the unpleasantness existing among the
membership and congregation of the Pres
byterian Church of this place. The attend.
ance being small but little was accom-
plished in the afternoon session.
The following members of the Presby-
terry we've in attendance at the evening ses-
sion: Rev. II. d. Bacon, Moderator; Rev.
B. f. Slagle, Clerk; Rev. p. c. Baldwin,
Rev. Mr.. Sanford, Rev. G. Richards, Rev.
Mr.. Kohler, Rev. G. A. Adams, and Elders
p c. Holt, T. J. Brown, S. Merry, and
Mr. Trowbridge, of Napoleon.
AT the evening session it was decided
that the sessions should be held with closed
doors, which decision was reversed yester-
day morning by vote. Yesterday was oc-
cupied in examining charges and specifca-
tions and investigation, and closed by adj
journing until Monday next.
If the "ungodly" will allow the Presby-
terry and members of the Church to settle
their own affairs, it will undoubtedly be
accomplished more speedily and satisfac-
torily TO all concerned.

The other day when a beGzineish looking
man entered a saloon on Grand River street
and felt as if he would have fit of the ague,
the bartender coldly replied that he might
have four of them for all he cared.

:" Have you no heart ? f" appealed the

lips turned blue, his hands got cold, and he
shook. At the first shake brick fell out one
of lis pockets. At the next, an egg plant
was shaken from another. In about a minute
he shook down four onions, an empty oyster
can. a ball of string two new pie tins, stove
handle and about twenty cigar stubs. Where
they came from no one could tell, but every
shiver was accompanied by q rattle and din.
q Got it pretty hard, I" remarked the saloon
list.
"This is only the BIB beginning" shiyered
the man, as he backed mp to the stove. There
was no fire in it, and the pipe was shaken
down in minute. In the confusion two
tables were upset and decanter knocked of
the COUNTER and free fight ensued between
five or six men. When peace reigned, the
man with the ague was found outside, shak-

There is one passage found in the twenty

where the writer is speaking of his faith in
Gods love. He says: "When my father
and my mother forsake me then the Lord will

What picture of God is this When my
mother forsakes me How the mind pauses
aud shrinks at the suggestion ! My mother

But, my friend, if it were possible if the
sweet current of her endless love could flow
