Centaur LIuIMEnTS.

The wonder of medical scence-half horse and half history of the world.
 The Centaur I.ininlents, for man and beat are not less remarkable in rheir way. They have been before the public only six years, but in that time they have performed more wonderful works have allsvi ated pains and cured more bed-ridden cripples than have all other Hnimsnts Embrocations Extracts Salves and Ointmen.s in existence. Their immense and rapidly increasing sale is indispntabe evidence o the estimation in which they held They are already in many of the hospitals of this country and Europe and prescribed by the be- physicians and veterinary surgeons. Why should they not be 1? They have never failed to ameiiorate suffering when cures from loss of bone muscle are impossible. They contain Carboic, Witch Hazel. Rock Oi Arnica and ingredients which must stimulate the fluids, soft en the sinews and penetrate to the bone. We have never yet heard of the first failure to benefit in stubborn of Rheumatism Sciatca and Neuralgia, while Flesh Wounds, Bites Frosted imbs. Burns, Cutaneous Eruptions, etc. they are unfaihng. What the White Centaur Liniment is for the human frame, the Yellow Ceniaur Liniments is for horses and animals. We will guarantee that dol lar expended for Centaur l.iniment will perform more and speedier results than be obtained for five or twenty dollars from any physician. We have made the treatment of flesh, bone and muscle aiment speciality. We know that we have preparations which do what they recommended to do. They are not curc-alls-they will not mend a broken leg, but they will alleviate pain and where any hu- man agency can cure, Be and inquire for the Centaur Liniments and give them fair trial

amount inserted in tn bill for building the

Court House. Now if it were clear that Tweed is guilty of the falsehood imputed to him, yet the Plaintiff in my opinion upon the facts is not in law en- | titled to the interposition of the court in his behalf to release him from the operation of his settlement and receipt.
 Besides the facts already mentioned it ap- pears by the Plaintiffs disclosure of the 'Ring" | frauds which disclosure was in evidence be- fore me, that the Plaintiff and Defendant were | from 1868 to 1872 confederates with each other and with others, in comprehensive scheme of frauds upon the Treasury of the city and coun- | ty of New York, bribery and corruption of the Legislature became and were necessary parts of this scheme. The Court House commission was part and parcel of the corrupt transactions of these confederates, and this $112, 800 mat ter persained to the mass of fraudulent and coulpt dealings between them ssif c TT !
 Nes Defendant says to the Plaintiff ''I have paid $11a, 800 to carry bill through the Legis- lature for your benefit, and I have charged l that amount to you" The Plaintiff thereupon pays the money or allows the charge in set tlement: the Law will not give the Plaintiff relief, however untrue the representations may be. The Law saysto him 'yoapaid money or al- lowed the charge, upon Tweed's statement that he had committed vile crime for your bene- lit, and the Law cannot give you relief upon your proof that the crime was not committed"
 But inasmuch as the Plaintiff has manifest ed good deal of curiosity to lknow what be came of that $1O0 900, which went to Albany on the 18th of April 1871, and inasmuch as both parties sent counsel to Utica to get light on that question, feel bound to take someno- tice of the issue of fact whether Tweed did or did not actually use the SIP, 800 in bribing members to vote for the Court House appropri- ation. The Plaintiff gave credit to the Defen- dant's word that it was actually so used, and the settlement was made accordingly. If now the Plaintiff would be released from the opera tion of that settlement the burden ot proof is on him to show that the Defendants assertion was false The Plaintiff gave full credit to Tweed's statement and until the contrary is proved must do the same The proof does not satisfy me that the statement was untrue, though admit there are some grounds for doubt; Barbour's deposition is not to my mind very satisfactory document. It could hardly be expected of him that he would make a square admission that he had used money to corrupt the legislature. Exactly what became of hn icip in h,,t foa under no obligation to pass upon this matter further than have already done.
 In my report have allowed to the Plaintiff the balance due on the $7O,O0O note (to wit } $5, 7O1 O3, and have disallowed the other claims of the Plaintiff

LYONS, March 15, 1878. EDITOR ENQUIRER. Six months of Spring, mud and bad roads is long stretch. We are nearing the end of the fifth month, with a good prospect of at least month more. The heaviest known storm for years on the plains west of us, last week, is spoken of as the commencement of winter, otherwise we should count on an early spring The farmers have their wheat nearly sowed, grass plots are look ing green, leaves coming out again and bees humming, altogether nearly a month earlier than usual.
 Generalization" was defeated in both cities at the election in Lyons, because of the bit ter wrangle the two contending factions got into over 1.-the conservatives were so disgust ed that many did not vote either way, and in Clinton, because it was known that Lyons was going against it, and they did not propose to play the role of the rejected lover The real issue wss temperance and Gasts; the temper ance coming out about a hundred ahead, which means high license. The attempt to prohibit 'beer, wine and ci- der has been defeated in the legislature and there is strong probability that the penalty ot hanging will be restored. The great fight of the session has been over the Railroad Tar riff law pro-rating freights per mile for long or short distances and limiting passenger fares on first class roads to three cents per mile. It is significant fact that the Granger movement was started principally on this issue, and now the farmers of Iowa are clam bring for it's repeal, but the North Western road, to punish our lumber men, favored Chi cago dealersto the extent of placing them near ly on an equality with the river dealers, car rying lumber across the state of Illinois. for almost nothing, so that less interest was taken by our dealers. Davenport and Dubuque sent strong lobby against the repeal notwith- standing there is strong probability that the railroads will carry the repeal through the leg islature

 COMMITTEE.

JAMES H. INeERsoLL, } State of Connecticut, vs. Superior Court,
 WILLIAM NJ. TWEED Fairfield County. This case is before me as Committee to hear the evidence and report the facts.
 It is conceded that the Plaintiff is entitled to recover the unpaid balance of note for $70, 900 given by the Defendant to the Plain tiff, May 2d 1872, that balance being $5, 781.- O3. Beyond this amount the Plaintiff claims to recover SIP, 300, as balance due him on ac- count. But it is proved that May 1st, 1872, the parties made a settlement of the very account upon which the Plaintiff claims to recover, so that the real question resolves itself into this, whether that settlement is or not binding upon the Plaintiff. Certain facts regarding that set tlement are clearly proved (te wit)
 That the parties met in New York at the Defendants office, May 1st, 1872, and then and there the account of which the following is copy, was adjusted between them and receipt written across the face of the account was then and there signed by the Plaintiff, and delivered to the Defendant (to wit):
