Subduin& and Avoiding Fever and

OF all chronic diseases, fever and ague is
perhaps the least conquerable by the ordinary
resources of medicine. There is, however, a
remedy which completely roots it out of the
system in any and all of it's various phases.
This celebrated anti-periodic is vegetable in
composition, and is not only efficacious, but
perfectly safe, thing that cannot be predicat-
ed with truth of quinine. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters Is, besides, most efficient means
of defense against malaria, as it endows the
physique with an amount OF stamina which
enables it to encounter niasmatic influences
without prejudice to health. Persons about to
visit, or living in, foreign countries or por-
tons of our own where Intermittent or remit
tent fevers prevail, should not omit to lay in
a sufficient supply of the great preventive,
both to avert such diseases and disorders of
the stomach, bowels and liver common to such
localities

4 NEBRASKA NyoEE IgGIH,E.

The Hebron (Neb,) Sentinel says: From
numerous persons complaints ofwolves have
been heard during the winter, but the bold
est action yet heard of was an attack by one
on the calves of James Stackhouse while
feeding in the cornfeld few days since
The calves running pellmoll to the house at
tractod the attention of the family, and as
his wolfship followed clear into the yard,
Mr.. Stackhouse concluded to return the COM
plimcnt, which he did by sezng an old
musket and mounting a fleet horse, follow
ing the untoward visitor very much after
the fashion of John Gilpin. Jim says it was
fine sport, and kind o excitn' like. But
after putting charge of shot into the fellow
with no preceptible result, with dotermin-
alton to take him in, it became "raal ami
matin'." The animal had become very
much (atigued, but as no ammunition had
been taken along it was resolved into a
rough and tumble tilt or no tilt at all. jim
was bent on a square tussel, and spurrng up
his steed dash was made and a blow aimed
that would have knocked the cheek Off of a
stall-fed politician; but, alas for human hope
and expectation, the horse jumped to avoid
the stroke, planting Jim's cocoanut in the
rich prairie soil, and standing up his manly
frame for all the word like big forked tree,
while the old muskct punched the ground
with determination that left only the bar
rel, the wolf meanwhile leaving as fast as
his weary legs could carry him off. Jim re-
covered a perpendicular, with his dander
very much elevated, and, after viewing the
situation for moment, started in persuit of
the enemy, harboring a burning rancor
within that bodied determination. The re-
suit soon proved the conclusion of the boy
who was licked with a ramrod! that a gun
was a dangerous thing without lock, stock or
cock, for Jim marched home triumphantly
with a scalp hanging from his belt.

NOTES.-The longerthe ebettcr-iavoTing some
of the various small enterprises in the social
dramatic or lecture line of business. An
important item of news should always be
left out to make room for such matters, and
an extra reporter detailed to write them up
fulsomely for a week or two in advance.
Then after patronizing the papers in this
liberal way, the managers Of such social,
dramatic lecture or other enterprise, should
they stand in need Of any printing in the
way Of cards, hand-biIls or posters, ought to
hunt up somebody who does job printing on
a secondhand sewing machine and give him
the work, OF course the printers who are
employed in connection with a newspaper
need nothing more to live upon than the
glory OF doing homage to Tom, Dick and
Harry, and the privilege Of noticing-free
of charge-IIarry, Dick and Toms dance,
the concert Of the Foghom Minstrels, or the
excursion of the Lackawanna Latitudinari-
ans to Lake Limpid, or anywhere else. Some
udlitaran folks might think that those who
bestow their printing patronage on the man
who does job work with a second hand sew
ing machine should also look to him for
their newspaper notices, but this is an un-
worthy view to take oft, since it would cost
the individual nearly ten times the total

Hollow, died this morning at four
o'clock. The circumstances attend
ing his death are as follows: He has
not enjoyed good health for some
years, and yesterday he concluded to
fix his cave, and went and procured
some mud for that purpose. When
in the act of beginning to work he
was stricken with illness from which
he was about to fall. He summoned
his wife to luis aid and she had all she
could do to get him in the house. He
lay in a stupor from that time until
his death His remains will be inter
red in the old Stone Church grave
yard, of Eckhart, on Friday morning.
His age was &C years. He was an
old miner, but has not worked for a
number years.
The store of johnson Co Inns was
closed on Monday. He is taking an
inventory of his goods.
A protracte1 meeting commenced
Wednesday evening of this week in
the Eckhart Church. Rev. Mr.. Marsh
of the NJ. E. Church, preached that
evening, and the Rev. James Brown
formerly pastor Of this church, is ex-
pected to be here from Pennsylvania

progress for some time i'll the NJ. E

week and resulted in the conversion
of two ladies.

Stabbing in the Dark.

Mr.. Editor Please allow an old
correspondent a small space in your
valuable and Independent paper.
You have doubtless seen the attacks
of the Cumberland press on that no.
BILE and independent newspaper, the
Irish World. They are truly vigilant;
they respect their masters interest,
while the Irish World advocates the
rights of all who are oppressed. | ask
the Gmhan and the Times correspon-
dents-what does the Irish Worlo
teach contrary to the law of God and
honest legislation? Let any Of them
mention one sentence in its editorials
contrary to God and nature. If so
we will give them applause for check
ing public evil. But l would have
them remember that the day Of goine
up hill and hallooing mad dog is
gone by. The Irish World denounces
usury, land robbery, and the giving
away of American labor to foreign
nations. Oh we hireIings and horde
of vipers, whom God himself has
warned us of, give us the meaning o
your language. If the Times CORES
pondent would deal less in "red-eye'
his nose would conform more easily tc
the doctrines of the Irish World, az
it teaches temperance. ALERT.

THl Cumberland Times calls atten-
ton to tho concurrence of the House
Of Representatives Friday of last
week in the Senate amendment to the
bill transferring the National Road in
Maryland to tho counties Of Allegany
and Garrett, and adds:
On this subject our neighbor Of the
Frossburg JOURNAL takes a facetious view;
wants the county commissioners to keep
up the toll gates, and remove the one at
the fve-mile house down to Sebsstopol
You see, friend Oder wants to make a
"pent-up Utica" of our little city. But we
will compromise the matter with the
JouRNAL-we will consent that the gate
be removed to Sebastopol, and the latter
moved up near Frostburg. Will that suit
you, brother Oderi
O, certainly, since the removal Of
Sebastopol doesn't necessarily involve
the removal of the gate.

The Arion Band.

Mr.. Editor We learn with pleas
ure that the Arion Band are making
prer Il ,ii,:.s 20 hold a tair to ra.se
tua,- to purchase uniforms. 1t is to
be hoped they will be successful in
their efforts, for theJ certainly de-
serve it. 1t is about one year since
the band was organized, and III April
they made their first appearance at
the entertainment given by the Pub
lie School. Since that time they have
been drilling almost constantly, until
they have reached degree of prof
cheney that would be creditable to a
much older organization. They have
already on numerous occasions been
called upon to play at fairs and enter
tainments of various kinds, to all of
which they responded at such rates as
other bands would have scarcely been
willing to accept, thus placing their
services within reach of those who
otherwise would not have been able
to obtain them.
And this leads us to say that they
are band of amateur musicians, who
play because they love Music, and not
for the purpose of making money.
Surely Frostburg ought to be able to
sustain one institution of this kind AMI
enabl them to appear IN such way
as to be a credit to Themselves as Well
as to the community.
We understand that the proposed
fair is in the hands of a committee Of
ladies consisting of Mrs. E. A. Gross,
Mrs. J. j. Hcblitxell, Mrs. VIM. Nc
MILAN, Of Eckhart, Miss Mary Maui
rev, Mrs. c. II. Walker and Miss Ma
ry Tenant,
This is very excellent committee,
who will no doubt do their pant OF
the work we'll.
If the people sustain the Arion
Band it is safe to say that they will
make themselves equal in proficiency
to any band in the country. Their
leader, Mr.. N excl, is an edtcated mu-
stefan, capable of training them to
a high standard Of excellence. We
certainly think the people owe it to
themselves as well as to the band to err
courage them in such way that they
will feel prompted to preserve in their
work. DIsINTEREsTED.

BLACK HILLS C0AL-The Black
Hills Herald of the l4th inst. says ::
Yesterday afternoon 1000 pounds Of
iron were successfully melted at the
Gayvile foundry with Black Hills
coal the amount used was about 700
pounds. This coal came from the
Red Water mines from depth OF not
over twelve feet from the surface. II
is of the bituminous variety, makes
a beautiful fire, and is lasting. Men
who use this coal here are highly de-
lighted over this strike and its success,
as heretofore they were obliged to
pay as high as eight cents pound,
or Sl6O T. ION, for coal shipped
from Chicas j, while the cost of this,
or own coal, will not exc7ed a cent
and a half per pou2d, or $50 per ton,
delivered here from the new coal re-
gions. 1t is only necessary that a
railroad be built from Central City
to these new coal lodges; for The pines
on our hills arc becoming scarce and
valuable, and within the next two
years it will he found cheaper to burn
coal, frcighted in from the mines by
wagon, than poor quality Of wood
