The news from Afghanistan points still
more surely to great war of conquest TO
be waged by Great Britain, and for which
preparations taking considerable time will
have to be made. It may begin at any
time, though an attempt may be made to
to capture and hold some of the passes in
preparation for the campaign of next year.
The old story about. Mohammedan up
rising has keen revived, but, if it should
be true, this time it will only be so much
the worse for the Mohammedans. Great
Britain hold on India is mott be lightly
shaken of, but to maintain it with cer'
tainty it will now be necessary for her L
obtain control Of Afghanistan. Such wal
as this will involve can awaken but little
interest unless Russia should take hant
10 it; but that event Europe as well e.
Asia would be very much disturbed, not
withstanding the peace treaty of Berlin.

The trial of the Montreal Orangemep
has resulted in acquittal, by order of the
Judge andlin accordance with law. Now,
if these patriots of another land and age
will determine that they have had glory
enough, and that hereafter when they
want to grow jolly over dead issues they
will do it in that privacy which common
decency suggests is the proper thing for a
corpse, they will be just as good Orange
men as ever and far better citizens.

IN THE WHOLE HISTORY oF MEpI-

IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF MEDI-
CINE, no preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, maintained so wide a reputa-
ton, as AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, which is recOg-
nized the worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its longcontinued series of
wonderful in all climates has made it univer
sally known a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the forerunners
of more serious disorders it acts speedily and sure
ly, always relieving suffering, and often saving
lite. The protection it Affords by its timely use
in the throat and lung disorders of children makes
it an invaluable remedy to be kept always on hand
in every home. No person can afford to be without
it, and those who have once used it never will.
From their knowledge of it's composition and eff
fects, Physicians use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extern
sively in their practice, and Clergymen recommend
it. 1t is absolutely certain in its remedial effects,
and will always cure where cures are possible.

We think the Legislature stopped
once too quick when they failed to pass
the amendment to the bill prohibiting
pool-selling and lotteries of whatever
name and description, to prevent horse
racing at fairs for money, which is
gambling, and the greatest evil con-
nected with our county fairs. The
names of the members ought to be
printed as they voted on all bills like
this, so when they get home they can
explain their course.
Mrs. Phineas V. Blanchard and chill
dren, of San Francisco, arrived Il few
days ago to spend the winter at her
fathers, Mr.. Asa Sargeant's.
About forty years ago DR.. Shedd was
riding one day in the northwest part of
this town where boy was at work on
piece of land that was his fathers, on
which the Doctor had small mortgage.
The Doctor asked the boy, "Is that
land worth the mortgage ?" "Whether
it is or not you won't get it," was his
reply. And he didn't. That boy is Mr..
Orman P. Hooker, who owns the Wor-
cester farm which he has improved till
it is hard to see what he can do next.
1t is fixed up in the best manner; also
the buildings. He has made it one of
the best farms in town. This shows
what perseverance well applied will
do.
There is a turkey shoot advertised
in town this week. We think the Leg
islature ought to pass bill putting an
end to such gambling as this, as well as
horse racing and pool-selling.
