SprnnR Elections.

Spring elections will soon be fashion
able. The importance of these elections,
both Township and Corporation, is apt to
be overlooked. They are apt to be looked
upon as annual occurrences of very little
consequence, and are too apt to be allowed
to pass off with Indifference as to who is
chosen to discharge the duties of these
seemingly unimpOrtant positions, which,
by the way, are.effices that should be fill
ell by men who know their duties, and
who dare to discharge them fully. No
man who desires to be law-abiding cit
izen, can complain of a officer for dis
charging the duties of his office to the let
ter. Governments are instituted for the
good of the whole people, and laws are
enacted to restrain evil actions and en-
force good order. To this end good men
men who realize the responsibility of
even minor official positions = should be
selected. This is absolutely necessary to
the good government of municipal or any
organizations, instituted to promote the
best interests, the moral improvement and
happiness of the people. 1t matters not
how rigidly the penal laws of our State on
Municipalities are enforced, the man who
does no violation of them has no fear of
their penalties. 1t is only the violator of
the law who fears the penalties of the law.
Let us have good men to fill our Munich
pal offices. The good government of our
town REQUIRES this.

Sleighing is the fashion.
Protracted meeting commenced last
Tuesday night, at the NJ. E. Church.
Two of the boys broke into the slock-
up, at Greenfield, some time ago.
There was a muss among the boys last
Sunday evening; no one hurt.
The hog-cholera is abating somewhat.
The gentleman who came through town
ting in the window of an old unused
building, should be prosecuted for telling
untruthful stories; the supposed owl
happened to be an old saddle, and the
boys who went to shoot said owl came
back without any game.
The taxpayers are examining the re-
ports of expenditures, to see if there is
not some mode to reduce the amount.
We have suspension bridge of about
Is feet span.
The friends held Peace Meeting last
Sunday evening; another will be held
next Sunday at Cochran's church.
The boys have abandoned card-playing
until the weather moderates, so it will
not be unpleasant sitting out doors.
Our townsman, Mr.. VIM. Draper, has
gone to North Grove, Ind, to prepare for
making tile this coming summer He and
his partners are preparing to do big
business in that line.
The fat hogs are nearly all sold; the
farmers received about 1915 per cwt. on
an average. X.

We have seen, and partially read, that
delightful book, ''Summer Rambles in
Europe" by that brilliant writer, DIR.
Alexander Clark, the distinguished edi-

burg, Pa; a paper which has, for years,
been classed with the leading periodicals
of the country. In the beautiful month
of May, '7G, while the great Centennial
Exposition was the center of attraction
for all Nations, the author started tout
on the ocean sailing for old England and
beyond, in quest of health, the numer-
GUS readers of the Recorder we'll knew
there were many rich things in store for
them. This attractive book is sold by Jas.

Prejudice.

Many people have prejudice against
travelling physicians, and in many cases
it is Just prejudice, So many quacks
and hnmbugs have palmed themselves off
as physicians in travelling from place to
place, that people in general, look with
suspicion on the class of travelling physl-
clans. Indeed, we ourselves have an IN
clinatiOn to the belief that travelling doc
tors are a suspicious class, but when we
know one to possess the qualifications OF
a learned and practical physician, then
this suspicion and prejudice pass away,
and our mind is left free to pass upon the
merits of the practitioner. Dr.. Fishblatt
is a notable exception in the class OF traY-
cling physicians. He comes fresh from
the best medical college in the land, with
recommendation that cannot be passeG
lightly by. His position among medical
men, and his ability as a writer on medi-
cal science, preclude the idea that he is
an empiric. His position as the editor OF
the New York Medical and Surgical Journal,
the organ of an important schoolof medl-
cine, gives him prominence wherever
he goes. The New York and New jersey
press speak of him in the most praise
worthy terms. His discoveries in this
science of medicine are remarkable, and
enlist the plaud1ts of the most eminent
practitioners of the east. Many of these
discoveries have been made known to the
profession, but many are known only to
the Doctor himself, and are used only in
his practice. From all the evidence before
us we must conclude that DIR. Fishblatt
is an exception to his class, and that he is
eminent in his profession, and is worthy
our fullest confidence. Give him trial.

Cancers.

Of all the diseases to which the flesh
is heir to, the cancer is the most to be
dreaded. For many years it was thought
incurable. Indeed until recently the
medical fraternity set it down as one of
the incurable diseases, but at last the
discovery is made, and those suffering
from cancer can surely be cured. DR..
Fishblatt has spent many years in pre-
pairing medicine for this dreaded dis
ease, and he is confident that he has now
compounded a medicine which will cure
the most malignant type. He has been
using the same for five years, and in his
extensive practice in that time, he has
not failed to effect a cure in every in
| stance. The case of Seth -Coulson, near
Dungannon, was an alarming one, and
now, after using the medicine for short
time, he is so well satisfied with the eff
fects that he writes to DIR. F. about the
efficacy ofthe medicine, and recommends
| it in the highest terms. This is but one
case i'll the many thousands that the doc
tor has treated, and in every case he has
had the same success. With these proofs
before us who can doubt the ability OF
this eminent physician to cure this loath-
! some disease? Therefore we do not hesi-
tate to recommend to the readers the
valuable services of DR.. Fishblatt, who
will be at the Arlington House, Wash
ington, Wednesday, Feb. 13. Do not
fail to see him. Do not let disease prey
upon your body, but seek the services OF
this eminent physician before it is toe
| late

Col. S. n. Yeoman, Milton Hegler and
John MilIikan, of this place, are engaged
in builing narrowgauge railroad called

road The Lafayette morning Leader of
the 27th ult., publishes the following ed
itorial notice of this road:
That part of the /. d. & c. narrow
gauge railway between Bradford and Rem
sellaer is fast approaching completion,
4 the work, under the eye of Superintend-
ent Millfkan, not only being expedited,
but done in most substantial manner. On
the first day of last November, the first
dirt was thrown and by the first day of
January the road was graded from Brad
ford to Rensselaer,, a distance of 16 miles,
all the bridging done, the cattle-guards
| in, and six miles of the track laid. The
| breaking down of the rolling mill pre-
vented them from getting a further sup
ply of iron, but it is again in working or
| der and l3 miles of track laid. Mr. Mil
| likan says that in two weeks, or less, reg
Ilar trains will be daily running TO and
from the points named. This will be a
source of great satisfaction to many of
our merchants, as Lafayette jObbers sup
ply Rensselaer, with large share of the
merchandise sold there. Superintendent
Millikan is an active, go-ahead man, un-
derstands his business thoroughly, the
public appreciating that through his en-
ergy, the work has been so vigorously
! prosecuted.

DR.. FishbIaGt.

This eminent Physician, who arrives at
the Arlington House, this coming Wednes-
day, February 18th, has cured the fol-
lowing cases within the past month,
which are offered to the public as evi-
dence of his success, and can be referred
to them: Milton Smith of Scioto town
ship, Jackson county, Ohio, adds his testi-
mony. His case was given up as hopeless,
having had severe cough for over eight
years, and the whole cause was the pal
ate, which was removed by a surgical OPP
GRAFTON, and the case is entirely cured.
A distinguished gentleman by the name
of Abbott, of Portsmouth, Ohio, writes
that his case is entirely cured. 1t was a
large Cancer on the right cheek. DIR.
Fishblatt removed the Cancer by surgi-
cal operation, then applied his Cancer
preparation, and the result is a complete
cure.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day,-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half
cause. A bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for immedi-
ate use will prevent serious sickness, a
large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. For cur
ing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneu-
monia, Severe Coughs, Group or any dis
ease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist will
tell you. German Syrup is now sold in
every town and village on this continent.

DEAR SIR: l have had little faith in
the power of any one to treat Cata rrh
successfully, and approached your sug-
gestion with doubt, but feel like rejoicing
at the result of your labors. Your treat
ment of my case acted like magic, it NOV
ed gradually upon the enemy's strong
hold, stormed his works, and drove him
to the verge of humiliation. He is gone
and IaD confident is effectually and prac-
tically wiped out! What would the
thousands alike afflicted with me not give
to find relief | now possess? If you are
successful in other complaints as you
have been in Catarrh, as demonstrated in
my case, you are indeed a benefactor.
can do nothing further than express my
gratefulness, and it affords me the great
est pleasure to be able to make acknowl-
edgment where merit so strongly and en-
phatically demands it.
Yours Truly,
