Centaur
Liniinlents.
They relieve pain.
They subdue sweIlings.
They cure burns, without a scar.

The White Centaur Liniment Is now the
standard remedy for rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sci
atica, Lumbago, Frost Bites, Caked Breasts, Itch,
Cutaneous Eruptions, etc. These Liniments have
stood the test OF tine. They have performed more
wonderful cures of obstinate bed-ridden crippes,
anu have allev lated more pains in shorter space
OF time, than all other Liniments, Enbroca
tence Their sale is increasing regularly and
rapidly. Their best endorsers are physIcians,
sur soons, aud veterinares. here Is literally no
case OF flesh, bone or muscle ailment upon either
man or beast which the Centaur Liniments will
not alleviate and generally cure. But it must be
understood that there are two kinds of Liniment;
the White is Tor family and the Yellow for
horses and animals. For horses and mules liable
to SPAWN, ngbone, Sweeney, Calls, Strains
String HATS, Poll evil etc. the Yellow Centaur
blniment Is worth its weight in gold. We have
thousands OF certificates how valuable horses
have been speedily restored by dollar bottle OF
tn wonderful allbealing remedy. The same 10
constantly told OF the effects upon the human
frame. Persons hobblng upon crutches for
years from stiff Joints, Tumors and Old Sores,
have, by the use of a few bottles of the White
Centaur Liniment, been restored to the use Of
all their limbs. The effects are neat to marves.

heard o. failure. Such case has never been re.
ported to ius. These Lnments are now sold
throughout the habitable globe.

THE NATURALIZATION.
Republican Mayor Elected by Hanu-
some W. irity-rhe Boa1d OF Aidefms"



The city election took place yesterday, and the
esult i, the reelection of Mayor Nash by ma
ioriiy Of 242, but the republicans have lost five
ont Of the seven wards. Ward stands as the
banner ward, giving i3 majority. Ward fol-
lows this excellent example, giving handsome
republican majority. The democratic ticket is
elected in wards 2 3, ), 6 and I. The replbli-
cans fought most noby in ward 6, and came with
in votes Of carrying the day. We lose Wards
, and through utter mismanagement on the pant
of our republican friends. They fought each
other at the polls yesterday. Instead of turning
their weapons of warfare upon the common enc
my, they did just what the democrats have been
hoping they would do, spent their encrgic. 10
ii citing each other. These wards, spare
AND fair issue, as between the two parties, ave
publican every time, and faif-mifded demo-
Gratis will acknowledge that to be the fact. When
the management Of the democratic party api ears
from practical experience, as il has IN Yeas past,
u portion of the republicans of our city will re-
tui to their senses and they will put the demo-
cra'ic party in retiIancy. where they belong.
For the ensuing municipal year, the minority
party is to have the control of the city offices.
The good majority given Tor Mayor, indicates
the real strength Of the party in the city. We
give be low the vote for Mayor, Al lermen, &c.
For MAYOR.

A disease broke out among the stock Of Mr.
Thomas Romans of this town, with resulted in
the death of three of his young crestures-a pair
of steers and Young heifer. This caused quite
an excitement in the place, as they died within a
few hours of each other. No that saw
them had any knowledge of seeing the like be-
fore. The most prominent symptoms was that of
trembling and grating of their teeth, but for
tunately none of the rest of his stock show any
symptoms of what may prove to be that dreaded
cattle disease so prevalent in the west not long
since. 90 .t.4
