We apprehend that some respectable
parents in our community do not APP
preciate the progress their sons are
making toward r~owdyism, else they
would prevent such manifestations as
occurred at the temperance meeting
last evening. Two pews full of young
fellows, from 16 to 90 years of age,
among them some whose trainingshould
have had better effect upon them, made
themselves disgracefully conspicuous in
noisy and rowdyish demonstrations, evil
IDENTIFY designed to express their on
tempt for good manners, and which SER
iously interfered with the harmony of
the meeting. The ring leader of the
crowd is an old offender, and if not care
full, may come into unpleasant promi-
nencc.

A Remarkable Result.

1t makes no difference how many Ply
s%icians, or how much medicine you have
tried, it is now an established fact that
German Syrup is the only remedy which
has given complete satisfaction in Sc
we're cases of Lung Diseases. 1t is true
there are yet thousands of persons who
are predisposed to Throat and Lung
Affections. Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the
Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping Cough,
&c., who have no personal knowledge Of
Boshee's German Syrup. To such we
would say that $4,000 dozen were sold
last year without one complaint. Con-
sumptives, try just one bottle. Regular
size, IS cents. Sold by all Druggists in
America. For sale by c. r. WALLACE,

FLAX SEED.
Its Advantages as a Crop.

l. 1t is the best preparation for a
wheat crop, insuring from three to six
bushels more per acre following fax
than when sown in succession. The
same is true of oats, barley or corn. No
cash outlay for seed, three pecks per
acre, costing less than half as much as
with wheat.
2. It affords a good relief from the
"one crop" system. 1t pays ordinarily
as well as other crops and some seasons
much better; have never known a fail
ure in Flax.
3. Nothing is better than Flax with
which to seeddown to timothy or clover.
4. Flax comes off from ten days to
two weeks before wheat is ready to cut.
No fear from chintz bugs.
5. If cut at the right time, can be
harvested as cheap as a crop of hay, and
secured from rain. The straw and chaff
are eagerly eaten by stock, and are fully
worth an equal weight of good hay.

ere long it will begin to ventilate its

publish the names of those vino have

without so much as a word of acknowl-

contemporary is an excellent one, for no
body so richly deserves to be %pilloried

count unpaid. We have long contem-

OUR contemporary, across the way, is
feeling very uncomfortable over our al
fusion to it's attempts to be the organ
of two opposite political creeds, at the
same time. 1t tries to create a division
by dragging up old worn out clap-trap
about the BULLETIN changing front and
supporting Hayes, on account of the
Post office. To any body with a Thin
bic full Of brains, it is not necessary to
explain that the charge of subserviency
is absurd, because there is no necessity
for it, in order to hold office under this
administration. But, supposing our CO.
%temporary's charge to be true, that the
BULLETIN did change front, our testy
friend must admit, and, in fact, does ad-
NIT, that we occupied but one side at a
time. 1t cannot say as much for itself.
1t tried to occupy two stools and fell
between them. 1t has been the cats
paw of two parties, and the confdant of
neither. Its pitable condition is not
pleasing to us. We would a great deal
rather know what we are fighting, a
skunk or a coon, and we really hope
that 1t will improve the lesson of its
neglected and forlorn condition, a found
ling and an outcast of the parties, and
cultivate a little stiffness in it's verte-
brae, not only on political questions, but
on all others. 1t surely must see by
this time, that the pulpy style of treat
ment of public questions, not only does
not pay, but secures a paper no friends
worthy the name.
