Almost a Fire.

Last evening about 8 o'clock small
blaze was discovered in the barn in rear of
Fl. E Vests dwelling and but for the
timely discovery and the efforts of Mr.
West and his son Lew,a serious fire might
have been the result 1t was the work of
an incsndiary as was clearly proven from
the manner in which shavings, etc, were
piled together on heap. Mr.. West is at
a loss to form the slightest idea of who
the perpetrators were, but if discovered
the guilty parties should be vigorously
punished. The law is very severe in cases
of arson and its full limit should be visited
on all incendiaries.

IF PEsTERED by an Eruption, use
GLENN's SULPHUR Soar, the ruling speci-
fc for disease, irritation and abrasions of
the skin, and most salutary beauti6er of
the complexion. This admirable article is
an inexpensive substitute for sulphur baths,
and is equally as effective in banishing
pangs of rhematism and govt Redness
and roughness, tan, freckles, pimples, and
indeed every imperfection of the cuticle is
entirely removed by it. 1t is avouched,
by ladies who have used, to be the most
effective means Of clarifying and softening
the skin that they have ever employed; its
health promoting properties are widely
recognized by medical men, and evidence
IN Its behalf, emenatipg from other and
equally respectable sources, precludes any
reasonable doubt as to the genuineness of
its claims to public confidence. Clothing
and linen from the sick room are disinfect-
ed by it, and it prevents contagion when
the danger OF obnoxious disease has been
incurred by contact. Sores and ulcers,
that resist the operation of salves and To-
tlons, are healed by it, and it soon relieves
the swelling and pain caused by bruises
and sprains. The opening of the pores,
resulting from the wholesome stimulation
OF the superficial blood vessels that it pro-
duces, is the effect best calculated to ease
the circulation when overheated. and carry
those offensive granulations which disfgure
the cuticle and render existence a state of
martydom while they remain. Eruptions,
ailments that ointments will not cure, are
entirely eradicated by GLENNs SULPHUR
