Catarrh and It's Cure.

Rev. 1. T. Childs publishes to-day wonder
1uiiy accurate description of the causes Of
Oatarrh, and the results from inattsntion to
.ne trst symptoms of this terrible disease.
FROM the details given Of his method of cure,
IL seems to be easily applied and very simple in
its action. Inhalation is evidently the most
rational and sensible way of reaching any
oisease of the air passages; Mr. Childs' applica-
"on OF this principle in medicine together
win the knowledge of the inhalants to be
used have given him his wonderful success in
the treatment of Catarrh aud Bronchitis. To
Judge from the published statements of some
OF MS patients, the medicine Mr.. Childs con-
trlves to place, by the use of his inhalers. inst
where it is needed, must be most powerful and
searching in its character to produce such
surprising results. None need feel any hesi.
fancy in placing their case in Mr.. Childs'
hands for treatment. The number and char
acter of the certificates, as well as the favor
able notices from well-known publishers who
have carefully examined the subject, must dis
pei every doubt in regard to his reliability. We
would call especial attention to the advertise
ment, and request careful perusal of the
facts as set forth.

Life Policies, payable at death provided the prem

On the I'd day of July, 1871 Cspt. Gardiner had his

On the 18th day of SEPTEMBER 1877, he sailed from
Boston as master of the cod ship "Iceland'' on a

Being here, / concluded to send YOU n
few business notes.
Strangely as it may strike many of your
readers, the business relations OF East To.
ledO are more closely identified with Wood
than with Lucas county, and this place
depends upon your farm, garden and forest
products for the bulk Of its trade. And
this business relation is mutually beneficial
as your farmers can purchase their goods
here as advantageously as in Toledo pro.
per, and can dispose of their farm produce
at as high prices as are paid on the other
side OF Cherry st. bridge.
a few OF the prominent business houses
here ! make note of, and mention of their
names will revive many recolections ON
the part OF many of your readers:
George Sheets is one of your old Perrys.
burg boys, and post Office clerk when John
Powers held the office. His business was
established here in 1865, and he conducts
the most extensive general merchandise
house in the place, which is especially
open to his old Wood county friends, who
make his place their headquarters, when
here.
Four meat markets supply the popula.
tion on the East Side, and the oldest in
the trade is Dennis Seddy, who deals in
fresh, salt and smoked meats, vegetables
&c, and conducts n market which would
be highly crcditnbIc to any city. His re.
frigerator arrangements for the preserva-
tinn OF meats are unsurpassed. Most oil
his live stock is purchased OF Wood county
farmers.
General business is dull, but improved
trade is looked for after the splendid grain
crop is harvested. j. SMITH.

Opinion Prevalent Among Taxpayers.

Ed. JoURNAL:-The JOURNAL, in criti
cising the action of certain county officials,
says: But it is most probable under the
modern plan Of assessing the taxpayers Of
the county that they want as few to be
made acquainted with the facts as possible" !"
This opinion is very prevalent among the
taxpayers Of all parties. The special
ditch law itself is shaped to this end, for
accord ing to its provisions all parties who
claim damages sustained 10y the constitute
tion of bitches, or compensation for land
appropriated to that end, must make
their applications in writing therefor to
the county commissioners, &C., &c, on or
before the day set for hearing the petition"
and on failing TO do so "Shall he deemed
and held to have waived their right to such
compensation aud damages" Considering
the insufficient notice the law requires
what an easy matter it il for those charged
with its execution to deprive said interest
ed parties Of their just dues. For the law
does not require ditch notice to I've pub
lished in a paper which has the largest cir.
culation along the route OF the proposed
ditch but simply give pnblica ion OF it
in some newspaper published and OF gem
eral circulation in Wood county," and this
the Infamous law deems sufficient notice to
all parties Interested, whether the paper
containing the notice has any circulation
at I'll among said interested parties. The
special ditch law virtually authorizes the
contiscation Of private property. Ii this is
constitutional il Is hard tu tell what inia-
my that instrument the State Constitution
cannot be made to cover. Ii. HIS.
P.S. Since writing TO the JOURNAL last
week some OF the farmers here have
thraShed their wheat. The result is better
than was anticipated. Some which was
expected to yield 25 bush. per acre has
turned out over 30 bush. This, of course, is
not an extraordinary yield compared with
some we shall hear from in other parts Of
the country, but it is quite large compared
with that OF previous seasons in the same
locality. Corn and oats will be in the
same proper ion.
