Safe and Sire.

Mn. II. r. STEyESs: In 1872 your Negetine
was recommended to me, and yielding TO the
perSuasions of u friend, l consented to try it.
At tie time ! was suffering from general de-
Diity anu nervous prostration, supernduced
by overwork and irregular habits. Its Won
derful Strengthening and curative properties
seemed to affect uy dcbiltated system from
the hrst dose. and undeI its persistent use |
rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual
health and gooI feeling. Since then l have
not hcsitated TO give Ncgetine my most un-
qualified indors ment as being a safe, sure
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system to new life and
energy. Vegetinc Is the oply medicine l use,
and as long as | live L never expect to find a
better. Yours truly,

The following letter from Rev. G. W. Mans =

MIR. n. Il. STEvENs-Dear Sir: About ten
years ago my health failed through the de-

later was attacked by typhoid fever, in its
worst for,n; it settled IN my back and took the
form OF large deep seated abscess, which

surgical operations by the best skill in the
State, but received no permanent cure. suf-

A few days ago, the wife Of Ben Pittman, of
Cincinnati, died. 1t seems that Pittman and his
wife belonged SO some denomination that one
has to he folerably crazy before he can appre-
eiate, and among other hobbies, they b .licved in
a will, one provision of which was, that her
body should be burned, after death. Pittman
went about executing tho will in . cheerful
way. In fact, cheerfulne8 was one Of his strong
holds. While his wife lay dead in tho house,
many friends came up to take last look, and
were received as if it had been . wedding or
birthday party. Pittman said his wife had al
ways been cheerful woman, and it was her
wish that everything should appear cheerful
after her death. Theu the body was taken up
to Washington, Pennsylvania, where an old ghoul
named lie Moyne has erected a furnace for burn
ing the dead. Mrs. Pittmans coffin was very
tastefully and cheerfully decorated, and the fur
mace had been heated up for twenty-four hours,
and was hot as hot could be. Hundreds of per-
sons applied for admission to the performance,
but lie Moyne crustily refused all except the rel
atives Of the corpse. Then scene intensely dis
gusting was enacted Pittman declined to take
last look at his wife, saying that he wanted to
remember her only As the cheerful woman she
was when alive. As the coffin was showed in, a
sckening odor of burning hair and flesh pervad-
ed the atmosphere. The furnace was then closed,
and the witnesses could watch the process through
peep-hole. In the various stages of heat, the
remains assumed different colors, until they were
finally consumed. At last . faint odor arose,

Board is Whist be aims to nskS nince-neat Of

for everything the Board does. Here is one Of
the charges made:
From the very first day Leland became County
Commssioners, he has openly made Of the County
funds in allowing bills &c., to reward his friends
to strengthen the Leland clique
Leland has been Commissioner over two years.
Last Fall, the editor of the Bsliefs and his little
faction tried, and tried, and tried, to get out
candidate in opposition to him, but could not
induce any man, Republican or Democrat, to
run against him, and the Democrats made NO
nomination, most Of them voting for Leland.
After failing To 6nd candidate, the Bslletis &C.
knOwledged that Lelands was one of the best
Commissioners the County ever had; that he
was m honorable man, and the affairs of the
County would be safe in his hands. But now,
after having failed to influence him, the Bsllefs,
throu gh sn anonymous correspondent, charges
that Leland, from the first day be was member
Of the Board, has openly made use of the County
funds to reward bis friends-clearly making the
charge that he has allowed fraudulent bills for
purpose of paying his friends out of the County
Treasury. fit has been known that he was
doing this from the first, why was not the charge
made bofere the election, while trying to get out
candidate against him Why was it held back
until the Bulletis had failed at every turn to
get the County printing! If 1t had got the
County printing, would the Ballefia have kept

is published to the people. Every bill on which
an allowance is made, is ON file in the County
Clerks Office. Every bill is sworn to, and nearly
every one is certified to as correct by some other

allowing fraudulent bills, the other members of
the Board must have acted In coilusion with
him, for one member Of Board cannot allow
bill. Let this correspondence of the BaIletis over
