An Astonishing FACT.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
suit of these diseases upon the masses of
Intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually a burden
instead of pleasant existence of enjoy
ment and usefulness as it ought to be.
There is no good reason for this, if yom
will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice of Druggists and
your friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medi-
cine have been given away to try its vir-
tues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy sample bottle for 10
cents 10 try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.

The many calls which the Ladies' Benev-
Olent Society have received lately for as
sistance, has exhausted their means. They
propose to give Social next Friday even
ing at the residence of Mrs. Col. Yeoman
to raise funds to carry on the work of
clothing the poor. A great many chill
dren have been clothed and enabled to at
tend school. who would otherwise have
been compelled to remain at home. Books
have been bought,and ever two dozen pairs
of shoes have been furnished, principally
to children. There are at least a half
dozen children to be clothed, some entire
ly, others partly, this week. When the
bills are paid 70: this, there will not be a
dollar left in the treasury. The Society
has not received the support to which it
has been entitled, and has worked with
limited means, and has been obliged to
exercise great economy in its expendi-
lures. There certainly is a great need for
such an organization in our midst now,
and every person is earnestly invited to
attend the Social and help toward sus-
tanning the society.

The above firm will soon receive their
Spring stock of dry goods, clothing, house
furnishing goods, etc Mr.. Silcott, the
veteran dry goods merchant and expert
enced buyer, started for New York yes
terday morning,to purchase goods for the
spring trade. Mr.. Silcott probably nm
derstands the wants of the trade Of this
county better than any other man in the
business in this place, having been longer
engaged in that trade here; consequently
customers can expect to find in the Spring
stock, soon to be received by this house
just what they want; and, doing business
as this house does, strictly on the cash
principle-buying for cash and selling fol
cash--they can afford to put the prices
down to the lowest notch. Wait for tn,
arrival of Spring goods at Melvin, SilcO
& Co.'S, and then call and examine gOOd
and make your Spring purchases.

A card.

EDS. HERALD Permit us to tender our
thanks TO our many friends atWashing-
ton and New Holland for the generous
donation social they gave us on Saturday
last. 1t was indeed surprise, and was
certainly a success. We accept their Of
fering not so much as a compliment to
ourselves as an offering to the Great Head
of the Church. We trust that each donor
may hear the King say: FtCome We bless
ed of my Father. y In as much
as We have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren ye have done it unto
me. .''-Math. XIV: f: 40.
All who in any way aided in the sue

Bros. will receive their spring stock in a
few days, their buyer, Mr.. VIM. Craig,
being now in the East making purchases.
They will offer to the trade one of the
largest and most attractive stocks offspring
styles ever opened IN any Washington

tensive, since they established themselves
in business here, and since their removal
into their large and elegant new store
room in Odd Fellows Block, where they
have plenty of room for displaying a large
stock, and admirable arrangements for
conveniently transacting business, their
trade has largely increased. and grown
into a magnificent business. By close
buying, with careful reference to the
wants of the trade, and conducting theil
business on a cash basis, they are enabled
to sell at prices that the public appre
ciate.

HOW TO cure Consumption.

The great number of deaths from this
destroyer of the human race, and its rapid
increase, call with trumpet voice for the
genius of some one to devise means for the
dethrOnement of its power. The cure
has been discovered and is saving thous-
ands. Genius has invented a detector;
nature has furnished the remedy. Avail
yourself of it before it is too late. A Slight
cold, if neglected, often terminates in con-
sumption. To guard against this sure
and fatal destroyer use the only known
antidote, COussens' Compound Honey of
Tar. Price only fifty cents bottle. For

MARCH sth, 878.-To-day the Red Ma
pie is in full bloom, no leaves having as
yet appeared.
Plants l, 2 and are in bloom. Their
beauty and fragrance render them fit
ushers of smiling Spring and rosy Sum-
mer. Their handsome dress betokens the
rich pageantry that follow in their train,
reaching far into the last days of Novem-
ber. No. has flowers of blue and pink,
with all variations between. No. is
white. No. 3 white, with under petals
pursplish. The chief growing character
istic of these plants is the fact that the
flower comes and goes before the appear
ance of the leaf, or at least before any
special maturity of the leaf.
At this date of writing we will intro
duee No. 4, Claytonia Virginica. Its leaves
are lance-shaped, and very succulent in
their makeup. In a few days their flow
ers will make grand coronals for field and
wood. In the mean time let us trace their
delicate stem six or seven inches below
the surface, and study the peculiar tuber
from which it groWs.gt

sCIENrIFIC NOTES.
BY1 PATTERSON.


It has occurred to the writer of these
notes that an article now and then on
home Natural Science would prove ben
eft to some of our County Teachers, many
enterprising pupils and amateur scientists
In the interest of these parties we make
the following notes:
MARCH Ist, Is7s.-We decide upon an
evenings excursion. Upon leaving the
school building and its many cares, to
find sweet solace in the halIowed retreats
of nature, and gaining the outside of the
building, our eyes are greeted with mil
lions of opening flower buds of the deer
rubratna Cor Red Maple). A mile walk up
Paint Greek places us in the presence of
the Hepattca trfloba Cor Liverwort), the
Saaguinar5a Canadensts (or Blood Root
and the JeBersonia diphylIa Cor Twin Leaf.
Knowing the habitat of these plants, we
at once seek their place.
Plant No. is usually found in rich,
black soil, on the lower faces of hills
looking to the North and East Under
the edges of old logs and roots seems to
be their favorite places. To-day their liver
shaped leaves (from which the plant deriv-
es its generic name) present the erumbling
leaf, the tough, dark brown, and the rich
green. These are of last years vegeta-
ton. The specific name is given because
the plant has three leaves The flower
stalk, Carrying the fiower-bud, is rapidly
maturing.
OF No. ? (the Blood Root) only the
growing stalk and its fiower-bud can be
SEEN The generic name means "blood-
bearing, referring tothe red juice of the
root. The specific name is local.
Plant No. 3 presents some traces of its
dead leaves, and the pyxis, or seed-pod

great statesman, Thomas Jefferson. This
beautiful plant of early Spring is befit.

tells of his life more than piled marble OIL
quarried granite. The specific name re-
fers to the fact that the plant has only two
leaves.
