4 Nuisance.

There are a grest many owners
of cows and horses in Alpena who
are probably ignorant of the fact
that there is an ordinance on the
records of this city, which prohibits
TIRE running at large Of horses and
cattle. For the benefit Of the
public. we give below section three
of Ordinance No. 16., which seems
TO be clear enough on the point;
Sec. 8. No horse, ass, mule,
swine, sheep, goat or other cattle,
and no geese, or domestic fowls,
shall run at large within the limits
of the City Of Alpena: Prori9s3.
That nothing berein contained shal.
prohibit the running at large Of
mich cows between the hours Of
Eve o'clock \. u. and eight o'clock
P. ".
Il will be seen from the above
that between the hours Of ?. N.
and 5 A. ". all cattle, including
even mich cows. must not be a.
lowed TO run ST large. This would
seem perfectly correct. IS in nine
cases ont Of ten. the mischief done
by cattle running loose upon the
streets, is done during the nights,
when the people sre 81 rest. Then
i, is that cattle break into gardens
and destroy the little farm Of some
hard working man who can III al
ford the loss. Shade trees are also
broken down and destroyed by
cattle during the night, when The
animals should not be allowed 4
roam st large. And yet there i
still another nuisance in this same
connection that some owners o.
horses snd cattle seem 20 pay bn'
little attention -. SICK persons
are very often disturbed in th'
night BY the racing up and dovr
the streets Of horses thst are run
ling loose, or the doleful ding
dong Of an Internal cowbel. as tht
animal carrying that annoyin:
rat;le-box preambulates along IN
streets ~ the solemn hour Of mid
night. These are instances tina
should be sbated. and unles
remedied soon, the city poun0
will present lively appearance
some Of these fine mornings, or "
miss our guess.

up to yesterday morning was to the
effec. that two of the much talked
OF candidates for the Presidential
nomination had withdrawn from

II has been asserted and generally
believed among the Democrats that
neither Mr.. Tilden nor Mr.. Seymour

The Charges Against Gen. Garfield.

From the New York Herald, Msy u.
The Herald has no vindictive
feeling toward the Republican can
didate for the Presidency. Al
though it had borne a leading and
persistent part in denouucing the
Poland report in 1873, which made
scapegoates of Ames and Brooks,
and absurdly shielded Colfax and
Garfield while admitting that they
were smeared by the same transac-
tons, we did not choose to repeat
what we had then said, but TO await
the public judgment on Mr.. Gar
fields nomination, preferring tC
comment on the news OF 1850 in
stead of the news Of 1873.
When the nomination had been
made IL became our duty to show
how IL was received as an interest
ing part Of the current news OF the
day. Our vigorous and indepen'
dent contemporary, the Sun, al
though exulting over the defeat .
Gen. Grant, lost no time IN pro
claiming its sense Of Mr.. Garheld'
unfltness, and setting forth its rea
sons. It's prompt action and cogen
statements were fitted to comman'

cether with the price Of the stock

dividends on other stock which
went with II were so enormous that
they paid for the Credit Mobilier
stock and left surplus Of S329,
which was paid over 20 NJ. uAr-
geld, making the actual olbe -
600 II stock which cost bin nothing
and the surplus which he had re-
ceived in money. When the ex-
posure came he threw mp and re-
undated his stock but had there
been no exposure he might have
retained IL. His acceptance OF the
surplus Of Dividends beyond what
was necessary to pay for the stock
looked like an acknowledgment
that the stock was his. There
must be some better explanation
than has Vet been presented before
the country viii think otherwise.
We are willing and anxious to
see a defense which is not as
damaging as the original charge.
VIII any Republican contend that
If the three hundred and twenty
nine dollars which Mr.. Garfield re-
ceived from Cakes Ames was a
surplus of dividends on his stock,
be is fit to be President! II, as
Mr.. Garfield tried 20 have II APP
pear at the time, it was borrowed
money. why did he borrow so singu-
lar a sum
The defense put forward for the
I five thousand dollars received in
the DeGolyer business is equally
lame. 1t is not denied that be re-
ceived that sum, but it is asserted
that it was counsel fee. II is not
vet shown what service Mr.. Gar
field rendered 10 earn it. 1t was
equal to a full years salary as
/ Congressman. a salary which Is
earned by many speeches on the
floor. much arduous labor in sever
al committees. and many services
for bis constituents. 1t is averred
that be never made a speech noi
lid anv nameahle thing for that
large counsel fee. If he did LEI
his friends present a bill Of partic'
ulars, if they can find nothing &c
insert in such a bill, let them cease
prating about a counsel fee, for i
will be evident that the money was
paid because he was Chairman o
the Committee on Appropriations
We waive the indecoTum of taking
a counsel fee in the interest of q
! lob for which Mr.. Garfeld's com
mittee was asked to make appro
priations. aud simply suggest thai
a precise statement be made Of the
services he rendered as counsel
If the list of services proves to hC
blank, what Interpretation vii
be put on the offer and acceptance

Mr.. Garfieli's defense is thus far

The loss of life in India due to the
ravages Of vernomous snakes is al
most incredible. Yet the disease
which is a. willy and deadly as the
deadliest India reptile, is winding
its coils around thousands of peo-
pie while the victims are uncon-
scious of its presence. 1t has long
been a hobby with Incompetent
physicians TO assume that consump-
ton is incurable after the formation
of tubercles has begun ; and in every
case they fail to effect a cure,-of
course tubercles had begun TO form
and they were incurable. The
records of medical science disprove
any such theory. On the contrary,
in cases OF lung diseases which had
been cured and the patients lived
forty and fifty years in robust
health, post-mortem examinations
showed large cicatrices (scars) where
the tubercles had been formed and
removed. The tubercles are re-
moved by absorption into the blood
