saved from the Poorhouse.

For years David Allingsworth suffer
ed with Rheumatism, and notwithstand
ing the best medical attendadce, could
not find relief. He came to the Sciota
County Poorhouse, and had to be carried
into and out of bel, on account of his
helpless condition. After the failure of
all the remedies which had been applied
the Directors of the Poorhouse resolved
to use the celebrated German Remedy
ST.. JACOBS OIL, and this was fortu-
nate resolution; for, with the trial of
one bottle, the patient was already
much better, and when four bottles ha |
been used upon him, he Gull again
walk about without the use of "a cane.
The. facts as above st1te |, will be ver-
fled by the Eiitor of the Portsmouth.

either considers these matters are not
worthy attention or else he has got some
very wild fat Initiation arithmetic, what
might be called metaphorical arithmetic,
on hand relating TO the question. Mr..
Warner then made reference to the mat
ter of rushing pensions through the
House. and denounced it as mere dem
agogism." To this Mr.. Updegraff made
reply that "if anybidy understands the
demagoge business think il is my col
league" There the matter dropped, and
Warner submitted TO the castigation
meekly. The Members of the House
without distinction of party, seem to en-
tertain the opinion that Mr. Warner is
rather strongly charged with @demageg-
ism," and hence Mr.. Updegraff's thrust
on this point called forth much merri-
ment.--National Republican.
