Whisky Again to the Front.

A most brutal and cowardly assault was
made upon the person Of Amos Pontious
last Saturday night, at the east end of
Main street, by Resin Morris and Ferd.
Bowsher, which came near termating that
gentleman life. His jaw was broken in
two places, nose broken, eyes battered
up. and head pummeled to jelly gener-
ally. The circumstances of the affair are
about as follows: There was a long
standing grudge existing between Morris
and Pontious, who are broth hers-in- law.
The three men were in the city Saturday,
and before starting for home were con-
siderably under the influence of liquor.
Pontious started first for home on horse
back. 1t is said Morris made threat he
could overtake him (Pontious) before he
got home, and circumstances prove that
he did. Morris and Bowsher started a
few minutes after, in a wagon, and over
took Pontious at the place above men
toned. In passing they struck Pom
tious' horse, causing him to shy and throw
its rider to the ground Pontious COM
menced cursing the offenders, when
Morris halted and told Bowsher to get
out and go back and thrash him, which
he proceeded to do with the above result.
It is said that Morris sat in his wagon
and urged his. confederate on, probably
too drunk to take part himself. Bow
sher has heretofore borne good charac-
ter, and how he could be used as cats
paw in the hands of such a man as Nor
ris to do such a cowardly and brutal
work it is hard to conceive, unless you
attribute it to the evil effects Of whisky.
The two were arrested on Sunday and
gave bail in the sum of $1,000 each to
appear for preliminary examination on
Monday. just before the assembling of
the court on Monday they waived an ex-
animation and were bound over to court
in the sum of 81 900 each.
DR.. A. P. Courtright, the attending
physician, reports Pontious as getting
along as well as could be expected,

Is Our Civilization a Failure

The history of the present time is one
that causes apprehension for the future
of society The current records of the
day are little else than recital OF the
most frightfui crimes, the most stipend
Gus robberies and defalcations, and
seeming total disregard of ali the princl-
Piles of honor and honesty that should
govern the dealings of men. The papers
TEEN with stories of murder, with recitals
of breaches of trust, with bank failures
bringing ruin to thousands; and these
crimes are not committed by Lien who
are degraded and ignorant, but by the
educated, and those occupying high sta
tions in society. We seldom read of
great fraud, committed where the man
has stolen his thousands and absconded,
but that the significant comment is ad-
ded: "he was man occupying proml-
nent place in the church." or, "he was
superintendent of the Sunday School, and
noted for his piety and exemplary con-
duct"
Then too there comes the ominous re-
port of large bodies of men arming and
drilling in all our large cities, the avowed
object being to engage in acts of lawless
ness. And all this in a time Of profound
peace, when the men have no complaint
except those incident to the popularity
of the time-when there is no claim that
the Government is especially oppressive,
and when there is no wrong to right that
the law is not competent to redress in a
peaceful manner.
All these things indicate fearful un
settling of the popular mind, breaking
away from well acknowledged principles
of probity, and disregard for the rights
of others that must prove fatal to any
system of good government. The out
look is not very fattering and it becomes
our thinking men to search we'll for the
cause of all this anarchy. Something is
wrong, and if it be in our Government,
our civilization or our religion, the friends
of law and order want to seek the cause
and speedily apply the remedy Huron

OLD,
TRIED,
AND
TRUE.
People are getting acquainted-and those who
are not ought to be-with the wonderful merits of
that great American Remedy, the
MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

This 1iniment very naturally originated in Ameri-
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chill
dren. Its fame has been spreading for 35 years.
until now it encircles the habitable globe.
The Mexican Mustang LiniInent is matchless
remedy for ali external ailments Of man and beast
To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable.
A single bottle often saves q human life or re-
stores the usefulness OF excellent horse, OK,
COW, or sheep.
1t cures foot-rot, hoofail, hollow horn, grub,
screw-wornl, shoulder-rot, mango, the bites and
sings OF poisonous reptiles and insects, and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
1t cures every external trouble of horses such
as lameness, scratches syyinny, sprains, founder,
windgall, ring-bone, "-c.- etc.
The Mexican Mustang L;niment is the quickest
cure in the world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence Of q physician, such as
burns scalds, sprains, cuts, etc, and for rheuma
tisnl and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
1t is the cheapest remedy in the world, for 1t
penetrates the muscle to the bone and single
application is generally sufficient to cure.
Mexican Mustang Lininlent is put up in three
sizes of bottles the larger ones being proportion
atey much the cheapest Sold everywhere.

An Item for Bachelors.

4 iudicious wife is always chipping off from her husbands moral nature little twigs that are growing in wrong directions. She keeps him in shape by continual pruning. If you say something silly, ske will afIectionately tell you so. Ii you declare that you will do some absurd thing, she will find means of preventing your doing 1t. And by far the chief part of all the common sense there is in this world belongs mques- tionably to woman. The wisest things man commonly does, arc those which his wife counsel5 him to do. A wife Is the grand wielder of the moral pruning knife. If Johnson's wife had lived. there would hava been no Eo1rtiing up of orange peel-no touching all the posts ! in walking along the streets-no eating an drinking with a disgusting yoraeity. If Oliver Goldsmith had been married. he would never have worn that memor- able and ridiculous coat. Whenever you find man whom you know little abcut, oddly dressed, or talking absurdly or exhibiting any eceentrieity of manner, you may be tolerabiy sure that he Is not married man; for the corners are rounded 1.-the little shoots are pruned away in married men. Wives generally have much more sense than their hns- ban,ls-espeeially when their husbands are clever men. The wife's adylces are like the ballast that keeps the ship steady. They are wholesome though painful shears, clipping of little growths
 of sclf-conccit.
