It Wasn't the Toothache.

In the ladies' waiting room at the Central depot the other day were a newly married couple from Grass Lake. They had been visiting in the city two or three days, and were then ready to go home. They sat side by side, of course, his arm around her waist and she leaning on his shoulder. A long waisted stran- ger from the East, having sore eyes and big heart, walked in, saw them thus seated, and in about a minute he asked of the husband:
 Has that woman there got the toothacher
 The husband looked up surprised, hut made no answer. After two or three minutes the longwaisted man again remarked:
 If that woman has got the tooth ache I've got bottle of peppermint in my satchcl here
 The bride rolled her big white eyes around, ard the husband look ed somewhat embarrassed. The man from dowu East unlocked his satchel, fumbled among shirts and collars, and brought up four ounces of peppermint essence. He uncork- ed it, touch the contents of the bot tie against h,s big red tongue, and, handing it forward towards the hus- band feelingly sad:
 Just have her sop some on rag and rub her gooms with it. We've used it in our family for
 The brides eyes threw out sparks as she lifted her head from it's low ing position, and striking at the bottle she snarled out:
 sTuthache, you fule! If you don't know the difference tween true love and the tuthache you'd better pick grass with the geese"
 My Lordr gasped the man, and he hurried out with his satchel in one hand and the bottle in the other.

AHEAD OF ACCIDENT.
The Coffins on the Platfor m.

The COfIins on the PlatfOr m.
 There was nervous fidgety sort of lady on the Keokuk X Des Moines passenger train coming East the other..day and as the cars pulled up at Monroe she discovered lot of coffins on the platform. She had been imagining all kinds of disasters on the way from Des Nome; had seen herself torn to pieces, the rem naDts collected and burled, and sui rered enough real agony to carry her through halfa dozen railroad accidents. At sight of the collins was the last straw that broke the camel hair shawl she wore, and she resolved that if she didn't say some thing she should die. Leaning over, she grasped commercial traveller in the seat in front by the arm.
 Young man, what are those coffins forT she asked.
 Now as the commercial traveller way busy footing up orders, so he replied briefly:
 Bury people in.'
 Yes. but what do they have so many forF
 Unhealthy country-lots of doc tors,' said the drummer.
 You can't deceive me, young man, said the female, there has been sn accident
 He nodded.
 Lots of people have been kiliedF'
 Another nod.
 Plenty torn to pieces, maybe, beyond recognitionT
 Nod number three.
 My good gracious. Some burned to death, and their remains gathered up in a scoop shovel?'
 Another bob of the drummer's head.
 Before she asked the next ques- tion she prepared to faint.
 oh, my, I feel-feel-so weak. When did it happenT
 Seven years ago. said the drum mer as he started for the smoking car.
 She strengthened back in her seat with click like a ck-knife, and made wild claw for the conductor who was passing. She caught hlm. She called his attention to those coffins, and asked what they were to be used for; there is only one answer to that question; the one the drum mer gave, and the conductor re- sponded in like manner.
 Wasn't there an accident on this road?,' said the excited female.
 Not for years-not on this road, said the conductor.
 Ton are surey
 Dead sure
 But one is liable to happen
 'Yes'm.'
 1t might happen to the next trainY
 fYes'm.'
 Oh, thank heaven! 1 am just ahead of the accident
 And then she fell on the conduct or's neck and wept and the blushfng fellow thought he would rather stand seventeen collisions and blow up than to pass through the smiles and snickers of the rest of the pas scngers.

The following letter from Rev. c. W. Mansfield, formerly pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled in Lowell, must convince every one who reads his letter of the wonderful curative qualities of Vegetine as a thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood.
 HYDE PARK, MAss., Feb. 15, 1876. MR. H. R. STEVENS.
 Dear Sir,-About ten years ago my health failed through the deepening effects of dyspepsia: nearly year later was attacked by typhoid-fever in it's worst form. It settled in my back and took the form of large deepseated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathering. had two surgical opera tions by the best skill in the State, but received no permanent cure. l suffer- ed great pain at times, and was con- stantly weakened by a profuse dis charge. I also lost small pieces of bone at different times.
 Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your office and talk with you of the virtue of Veg etine. did so, ann by your kindness passed through your manufactory, not ing the ingredients, &c., by which your remedy is produced.
 By what saw and heard I gained some confidence in Vegetine.
 commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from it's effects; still persevered, and soon felt it was bene- fitting me in other respects. Yet did not see the results I desired till l had taken it faithfully for a little more than year, when the difficulty in the back was cured; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health.
 have in that time gained twenty five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and was never more able to perform labor than now.
 During the past few weeks 1 had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gathering on another part of nay body. 1 took Vegetine faithfully, and it removed it level with the surface in a month. I think should have been cured of my main trouble sooner if I had taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects.
 Let your patrons troubled with scrof- ula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to cure chronic diseases 1; and, if they will patiently take Vege- tine, it will, in my judgment, cure them.
 With great obligations am
 Yours very truly,

LOUISVILLE, KY., Feb. l6, lS77. MR. H. K. STEVENS.
 Dear Sir,-Three years ago I was suffering terribly with IniammatoIy Rheumatism. Our minister's wife advised me to take Vegetine. After takieg one bottle, 1 was entirely re licved. This year, feeling return c5 the disease, again commenced takiag it, and am being benefited greatly. It also greatly improves my digestion.

safe anA Sure.

MR. Fl. R. STEvESs.
 In 1872 your vcgetine was recom- nfended to me; aad, yicleing to the persuasions oi q friend, consented t, try it. At the .imc I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by overwcrk and irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose; and under its per- sistent use l rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feel ing. Since then have not hesitated to give Vegttine my most unqualified endorsement as being safe, sure, and powerful agent in promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. vegctine is the only medicine use, and as long as 1 live never expect to find better.
 Yours truly, w. H. CLARK,

LOCAL MATTERS.

The NORTH CAROLINA VIsrToRs.-There
was no regular programme mapped out for
yesterday. and the North Carolina mer-
chants and visitors took advantage OF The
opportunity and inspected many OF our
manufacturing establishments, city water
works, new reservoir, and other places
OF interest, and number bought stocks
Of goods, which were packed last night
and will be shipped to-day.
Last evening about four hundred and
sixty OF the visitors and invitation commit
tee went down James river on the steamer
Ariel. The bour fixed for the trip was Z
O'Clock, and BY that time the steamer was
pretty well crowded and she moved Oft, the
band (kessnich's) playing popular, lively
air. Not many minutes after the departure
OF the steamer several carriage and omni-
bus-loads Of the eXcursionists drove down
in the hope Of getting on board. but they
were disappointed, and not few went
away indignant at being left. a number OF
them endeavored to charter q tug SO as to
join the excursionists on their way back,
but this WAS not done, and after awhile the
disappointed ones drove back up town.
Among the many persons who have been
untlring in their efforts to make the visit OF
the North Carolinians agreeable, no one has
abored more faithfully than Zetelle. He
spent the entire night OF Wednesday at the
FAIRGROUNDS cooking, and never left hi:
post until the festivities at the grounds Were
all over.
Many OF the merchants left the city yester
day and this morning. Some few will re-
main over until Monday, but BY this eve
ming nearly all OF them will be on their way
homeward.

BANKRUPTCY MATTERS.-Tbe repeal OF the
bankruptcy act TO take effect on The 1st OF
September next, has created quite stir
among the debtor class OF this community.
Parties who are in debt, and expect after
the repeal OF the law to be pressed By their
creditors, are daily ayailing themselves OF
the protection given by the bankrupt court.
During the month Of April last, when 1t
was expected every day that the law would
be repealed, great many flied their petit
tiops in bankruptcy. The repeal being now
q fixed fact. and this month The last oppor-
tunity parties will have to take advantage
of the old law, it is expected great many
petitions will be filed. The officers OF the
bankrupt court have issued circular, IN
which they give the main requirements OF
the law, and consent to make %cconlmoda-
ting terms with debtors who are unable TO
nav their fees when their cases are filed.
The following abstract from their circular
is Of interest TO our readers:
GA bankrupt is not required to pay any
nroportion of his debts contracted before
january /, 1869, nor OF those in which he
is liable as security for others. The law re-
quires that his assets shall be equal to thirty
per centum Of The claims-whlcl his cred-
tors shall 30 to the cost and trouble OF prov
ing in legal fornl-againSt his estate, anu
upon which he shall be liable rs principal
debtor, and which were contracted since the
1st day OF January, 1860. Bankrupts with
out assets can, however, be discharged by
obtaining the assent OF one fourth in nnEl-
her and one third in value OF their creditors
who have thus proved their debts. In such
cases it is very rare that any debts are
proved; in which event the bankrupt can
obtain his discharge at any time after sixty
days from the filing OF his case. The records
.of the bankrupt court show that there is not
one bankrupt in hundred who is not enti-
tied to his discharge. The bankrupt is en-
titled to homestead exemption OF $4,000
as against debts contracted since the 9th day
OF July, 1862 although they may have been
prosecuted to a judgment, as well as the
congressional exemption Of $500 and the
articles exempt under the poor-debtcr's
law"
