issued from the office of the chief
signal officer, Washington, d. c.,
Jan. l, 1878:
On and after Jan. /, 1878, an
additional cautionary storm signal
will he displayed, as occasion may
require, at active signal and dis
play stations of the signal service.
The signal will be displayed at and
on the regular place and staff, and
will consist of n white flag with a
square black centre, shown above
a red flag with a square black GEN.
tire by day, or a white light shown
above O red light bv night. This
singal will be Known as the "Cau-
tionary Off-shore Signal" and will
indicate, when shown, that while

ed, at the office of the Chief Signal

or place at which the signal is dis
played, and the winds may yet be
high, and there may be danger,
the winds are expected to blow
from a northern or western direc-
ton, or "off-shore," at or near the
port or place where the signal may

The display of this signal will
often follow, and must be dis
tinguished from, the display of the
usual "Cautionary Signal, !. e.,

centre by day, or red light shown
at night-which retains, whenever
shown alone, its usual meaning

red flag with black square in the
centre, by day, or red light by
night, calls for caution in view of
an approaching storm, and is so
with reference to
winds blowing from any direction.

City and township elections on
Monday of next week. AS yet
there has been but little excite
ment or speculation over the pre-
sumed result of the election-both
parties seeming to manifest but lit
tie interest. We hope that good,
trustworthy men will be placed in
the important positions that are to
he filed by the voters and then we
sincerely hope that after being
elected, they will attend to the
business with which they will be
entrusted, in manner that will be
of credit to themselves and the
people.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate with its sud-
den changes of temperature-rain, wind,
and sunshine often intermingled in sim
gle day--it is no wonder that our child
rem, friends and relatives are SO frequent
ly taken from us by neglected colds, half
the deaths resulting directly from this
cause. A bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for imme-
date use will prevent serious sickness
a large doctors bill, and perhaps DEATH
by the use of three or four doses. For
curing Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs. Group, or
any disease of the throat or lungs, its
success is simply wonderful, as your
druggists will tell you. German Syrup
is now sold IN every town and village
on this continent. Sample bottles for
trial, 10c. Regular size Zoe. 325eowy1.

The taxpayers should remember
that on Monday next, the question
of making county loan of 100000,
for the purpose Of constructing a
court house, will be submitted for
their acceptance or rejection. In
our opinion, it is high time that we
began to think that court house
is a necessary structure in this
county, and we do not know of a
more favorable time for that OBJ
ject than the present, and we GER
tainly feel that the time has come
when the object in view should be
ACCOMPLISHED,
