INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

The fair reader shudders when she think:
of the settlers wife watching, from the door
of her rude hut, the retreating form of hel
husband going out to his daily labor-goinC
out perhaps to return not again, for before
nightiall a savage hand may have laid him
low among the prairie grasses. Or it may
be a child, a bright eyed daughter j:
snatched away in an unguarded momentj tC
grace the next war dance, When we read
the heartrending details of these savage de-
predations, we are apt to blaine the govern
nent for not taking more strict precautions
To insure the settlers protection. But we
daily read of the depl edations of that arch
fiend, consumption, with scarcely a thought
of the terrible inroads ii is making in life
Tens of thousands of homes are annually
desolated by consumption TO one by Indian
outrage. Like the Indian, consumption Of
tenest comes stealthily, and no danger is ap-
pretended until the victim suddenly Fl ds
himself hopelessly ensnared, and deaths ia-
tai arrow ends the srene. Dr, Pietues Col
den Medical Discovery, powerful Alternative
or blood purifier and tonic, has restored
thousands Of consumptives who had tried
every other remedy recommended, without
obtaining any relief and are willing 10 tes.
tify to its remedial powers.

horses in use and will purchase more.
b. F. Connor, Master Mechanic at Par
ryville, was visiting his sisters here on Sum
day. Mr.. Connor is young man yet, an
excellent mechanic and Of good executive
ability.
How about Purdon's, l4l, &c? Now
come, don't you think it is a little thin to
bring such an argument against the excel
lent effort of the citizens of Packerton We
know the opposition, and can assign no other
reason than pure cussedness; no one but
what believes that the Free Book System
would be an excellent thing; our County
Superintendent encourages and urges it,and
we feel confident that, il it were not for one
man on the Board, we could have the sys-
tenn here.
One hundred and sixty five--Yale col
lege or Harvard, either, are authority,

Mr.. Charles Hontz, and Charles Meal
lister, with their brides, are on Il visit here

"A very valuable canary escaped from
Thomas Harlemah on Tuesday. A liberal
reward for safe return.
On Monday night while the residents
of Lehigh Avenue were wrapped in slumber
the cry of fire rang out, in an instant win
dows were thrown up, aud sure enough the
switch boys shanty and section master Wa
terbor's tool house were in flames. The vol
unteer fire brigade were on hand, but the
fire burned too fiercely; there was no hope
of saving either building, fortunately the
wind blew from the north east, thus prevent
ing any danger to the scale building or the
dwellings. Ths fire was caused, (it is sup
posed) by spark from some passing engine.
Extensive preparations are being made
in Packers Park for the Methodist Picnic.
A general Invitation is extended 10 all the
citizens to come and enjoy themselves. We
understand John Koons will furnish ice
cream from a stand erected on the ground.

Birthday Anniversary.

One of the most enjoyable events Of the
season at Parryville was the surprise party
given in honor Of the seth anniversary Of
the birth Of Mrs. Jacob Peters, on last Tues
day evening, the lst inst. The occasion was
q complete surprise to Mrs. P. During her
absence in the evening, her friends number
ing over thirty, after meeting at the M. E.
parsonage, entered her residence, and on
her return she was greeted with quite large
increase in her family, all Of whom, how
ever, were able TO care for themselves. In a
short time the tables were filled with great
variety Of delicacies and adorned with
beautiful flowers" conspicuous among these
was handsome bouquet with the compli-
ments Of Miss Lizzie NJ. Bauman. When
the company were ready to sit down the
Rev. Mr.. Schaefier stated the object and
motive that had brought so many of her
friends together; and through Mr.. Peters
rendered the congratulations of those present
to his amiable wife, wishing her "many
happy returns Of the same" The feasting
over the party enjoyed themselves in social
intercourse and amusement, quietly kept up
to the sounds Of music, skillfully rendered
BY Miss Sallie A. Hess. Before dispensing
a hymn Of praise was sung and prayer of,
fered, when the company slowly returned
to their homes, feeling that it was not only
good to be there" but that it is more
"blessed to give than TO receive"
They will please accept our thanks and
best wishes for the very liberal supply of
cake furnished the ADVOCATE Office.
