GUILTY OF WRoNe.-Some people have q
fashion of confusing excellent remedies with
the llrge mass of "patent medicines - and
in this they are guilty of wrong. There
are some advertised remedies fully worth
all that is asked for them, and one at least
we know of-Hop Bitters. The writer has
had occasion to use the Bitters in just such
climate as we have most; of the year in
Bay City, and has always found them to be
frstclass and reliable, doing oil that is
claimed for rthem.-T1ib,nac.

A Card.

Very many thanks to the ladies of the
Presbyterian congregation for the variety
of useful and valuable articles sent on
Christmas eve. 1t is kindness the more
appreciated because, though bestowed on
many previous Christmas ewes, it is still
unspent. Mrs. Frierson desires to return
espeeial thanks to the ladies for purse sent
to her to procure cooking stove, q gift for
which she wishes to express her kindest
good wishes.

THE controversy between Gen. Gary
and Senator Hampton over the contest of
1875 is as ill-timed as it is unfortunate.
The people know that we carried the
State in that memorable canvass, and are
satisfied that it was. done legitimately
and properly. It is past, and we do not
care to hear any more about it. In our
opinion the subject ought not to have
been re-opened, and now, as it has been
revived, the next best thing for all Of
the parties concerned in it to do is to
hush it up as soon as possible.

No MORE HARD TIMEs.-If you will
stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich
fooI and style, buy good, healthy food,
cheaper and better clothing; get moro real
and substantial things of life every way,
and especially stop the foolish habit of em-
ploying expensive, quack doctors or using
so much of the vile humbug medicine that
does you only harm, but put your trust in
that simple, pure remedy, Hop Bitters
that cures always at trifiing cost, and you
will see good times and have good health.

From our own experience for the last six
years, and from a similar experience on the
part of others in different parts of this
State and other States, it is found that the
youth of the country can be educated more
economically and successfully in mixed
schools than in schools where the sexes are
kept separate, and with as much propriety
of manners. Therefore, We propose to con-
tinue our School on this plan.
A full and efficient corps of Teachers will

Man of Pluck.

GALLANTRY IN SEVERAL FORMS
MEXICAN BANDITTI--A BRAVE
CAvALRYMAN.
Among the half-dozen pasStn-
gers who occupied the stage-coach
that left the Mexican town Of
Guanajuato, bound SOUTH, on the
morning of the 10Th ult., were
two young Americans, Frank Sen
ter and George Green. The air was
nipping and an eager air but
the men from the States sat on the
top Of the coach, having beside
them two Winchester rifles and
any quantity of ammunition. This
precautionary measure proved a
wise one, for just at dsybreak a
harum -scaTum trample Of horses
was heard along the roadside, two
musket balls Whizzed one after the
other over their heads, and the
demand TO surrender came in
I hoarse, emphatic tones. The driv-
er, as though paralyzed, stopped
the mules instantly. Some twenty
banditti were seen in the dim
light-m uch more clearly than
were Sir Sacks men in buckram
and every highwayman had his
gun unslung. But no sooner had
Senter and Green lifted their rifles
than two of the robbers fell. at
which unexpected resistance the
whole troop retreated with precip-
itation. The plucky lads pulled
off their coats and got ready for
second attack, which came in a
moment, the Mexicans charging
with yell like that of the Com
anches and just about as blood
curdling. A wilder sight has rare
ly been seen. No less than six of
these charges were made, the quiet
intervals being of a few seconds
duration only. Green was shot in
the shoulder, but kept his post,
and flesh wound made Senter
that much the more positive in
his resistance. Both bent over on
tho top of the coach, their heads
close together, and their breath
coming thick and fast When the
robbers at last withdrew they left
five of their number dead, and the
carcases of four horses blocked the
way. After the fight Senter took
a survey of the inside of the coach.
One of the passengers, a Spaniard,
had thrown his revolver out of the
window; another, a Mexican. had
wrapped his head in blanket,
and the lady passenger had spent
the irving time on her knees.
