Certain it is an unfailing cure when taken in
proper doses and its use might rid the world
ofinlemperance in one day if all parties need /

The Congregational ladies' railroad exs
cursion to Woodman was even more success
ial than they expected. Seven cars were
chuck full and the party enjoyed themselves
hugely. Notwithstanding there were a good

way to make money thanby sewing societies

Ladies call at w. II. Haines' Cheap Boot |
and Shoe Store and examine those new style |
Button Boots with French heels and protec- /
ton heel plates. These plates are nickle
plated and do not hurt the looks of the shoe
but preserve the original shape and evenness
Of the heel preventing uneven wear, or run
ming over, and save the expense of re-heeling
the shoe when half worn out. 2Sw2
Some interest was unaffected Saturday
evening in a trot between Jake Iough's gray
horse and John IIurlcy's bay An. NJ seventy /
five persons took seats in the amll, eatre of |
he fair grounds, and dozen or So carriages
occupied by ladies and gentlemen were pres
ent to witness it. The horses were to trot I
half miles, best in three. Hurley took the
first heat. The second and third and the race /
was won by llough-the best time being l:3l. |
Visitors were in doubt whether the horses |
were driven their best, for there was not cap
ital enough invested to command very la
borious effort 1t IS said another race is to |
come off between the same horses with $50 |

Mr. Anton Smith is now the landlord of
the Phelps House He is an active, thought |
ful and oblging man and patrons may de-
pend upon his dcvoting his talents and great
energy to their comfort. The house has the |
hest possible location for the accomm odation |
Of business men and travellers, and is com.
modous and in all ways suited to their cons
fort. In summer the rooms are comparative.
ly cool in winter we are told that frost has
not penetrated any room in the house, the
third story not excepted, for years The
house ia in good condition and has been
thoroughly cleaned by Mr. Smith. The east
room on Maple street, precisely in the BUSH
ness center of the city, has been fitted up for
sample room. There can hardly be bet
ter or more convenient room for that purr
pose in the State With the house is a large
and good stable and careful man will ats
tend to horses and vehicles. The public can
depend upon Mr.. Smiths doing everything
that can be done to make guests comfortable
and satisfied. Lancaster's reputation for hav-
ing good hotels will not suffer through Mr.,
Smith
Now we may have whisky case in Ian
caster A one-armed and otherwise crippled
and haggard looking individual was IN Lam
caster last week begging. He went from
house to house and obtained numerous pieces
of small change, from quarters down About
as fast as he got them he went to saloon
and spent them for drink. Finally he be-
came drunk and Marshal Greene arrested him
for drunkenness The marshal left him on
the street while he went up to Mayor Glenn
entson to have his papers in proper shape
The marshal being out of sight he went of to
the saloon again. The marshal followed him,
found him in the act of taking the liquor into
his mouth and the saloon-keeper taking his
quarter and giving him the change. The
marshal grabbed the glass of liquor and con-
dscated it. He took the liquor aud locked il
away to see whether il will retain its fragrant
odcrs until tested by judicial nostrils, The
begglr 10y this time became so taugle> legged
that help was required to get him in Jail.
There don't appear to be any nonsense about
this case. Il was a Greene ceremony but
there DON seem to be anything green in the
temperance side Of it. Ills little surpris~
ing, though, what peculiar ways there are by
Which temperance people are made TO con-
