Happily Disappointed.

Disappointments are frequently
grievous to bear, but having received
letters almost daily from parties who
have been happily disappointed" we
relate their experience which will be
profitable for every one to remember.
Thousands have written to the propri-
etors of Kendall's SPAWN Cure, stating
that they began using it without any
faith that it would cure spavins, but
had been happily disappointed as it
had completely cured the SPAWN and
removed the bunch without blistering,
and after using it for various purposes,
all state freely that it is the very best
liniment ever used for any lameness on
beast or man. Please read the adver-
tisement for Kendall's SPAWN Cure.

NoTuINa contrihnted in a greater

NOTHING contributed in a greater
degree to the success of the Republi-
cans in the late contest than the claim
set up by them that the country was
in the enjoyment of an unwonfed de-:
gree of prosperity. all of which, they
asserted, was the result of the finapcial
policy of Republican administration,
and which would be utterly destroyed
should a change of rulers be made.
A more foolish pretense cannot be inn
agined. The prosperity the country
enjoys is the result of favorable sea-
SONS, abundant crops, a large foreign
demand for our productions, caused by
nnfavorabIe seasons there, and in a
large measure by the retrenchment
and economy Of Democratic Con-
