a REAAREABLE REsULT.-lt makes no
difference how many Physicians, or how
much medicine you have tried, it is now
an established fact that German Syrup is
the only remedy which has given com

sands OF persons who are predisposed TO
Throat and Lung Affections, Consumption
Hemorrhages. Asthma, Severe Colds set
tied on the Breast. Pneumonia, Whoop-
ing Cough. &c, who have no personal
knowledge of Boschee's German Syrup.
To such we would say that 50.000 bottles
we're sold last year without one complaint.
Consumptlves try just one bottle. Regu-
lar size IS cents. Sold by all druggists in
America.

Two weeks ago 10 mentioned the
novel method OF punishment imposed on
some fallen ome 10y the Mayor of Park
err City. The erring females coming be-
fore his Honor on the Lords day, and be-
ing unable TO pay the heavy fine imposed,
they were ordered 10 attend sunday
school in the afternoon. They presented
themselves, and were taken charge of by
his Honor, who adapted a scriptual lesson
to their situation. As the report goes their
conduct was very seemly during their at
tendance. The following week the rigid
~ righteous ladies of the school met and
concluded that the Mayors action was a
( g~rieyous and objectionable insult agains,
their holy lives. They directed their
minister TO inform the Mayor that ii again
he ordered fallen creatures TO the Sunday
| school they and his Honor would both be
thrown out. Last Sunday at the opening
of the school the Mayor said he had some
remarks to make. lie read first the story
of the wedding feast. and directed particu-
lar attention to a portion where the sers
ants were enjcined to 60 into the high
way and by way and gather in the good
and bad. After this followed the story OF
the woman taken in adultery and brought
before Christ for condemnation. The
Mayor then spoke of the message he had
received. Reaching in his pocket he
ireg GU a small stone which he held be
tween his thumb and finger. high over
his head, and said LEI her that Is
without SIN among you cast ht these poor
women this stone. and" drawing out

His Honor stood for Il few moments silent
with outstretched arms. and his face
bright with emotion, as he darted his
keen glances i%nquiringly here and there
over the assembly. During ihis highly
dramatic scene a crimson flush was notice
able on the faces of several Of his lady
auditors. The assemblage was silent as If

ent Whipkey was highly elated with his

In the county. Mr.. Barnhart possessed
superior ability 10 govern and control a

esteem between himself and his scholars
that intuses a spirit to excel and of ambi-

to advance the school by diligeut anG per-
severing application; and | doubt not but
that Prot. Barnhart will. at some future
day, control the educational interests of

means business and will almost Ger
