VICK's FLORAL GUIDE.-Of the many
Guides and seed and Plant Catalogues sent
out by our Seedsmen and Nurserymen, who
are doing so much to inform the people
and beautify and enrich our country, none
are so beautiful. none so instructive as
''Vick IS Floral Guide" Its paper is the
choicest, its illustrations handsome, and
given by the hundred, while its Colored

Rescued from Death.

The hefoiiowiug statement of William j.
Coughiine, of Som rville, Ma s., Is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for It the
atteusten of our readers. BE says: "In
the fall of 1876 / was taken with vio-
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by a
severe cough. soon began to lose my
appetite aud flesh. j was so weak at
one time that could not leave my bed.
In the summer of 18TH was admitted
to the City Hospital. While there the
doctors said had q hole in my left lung
as big as q half dollar. expended
q hundred dollars in doctors and medi-
cines. j was so far gone at one time q
report went around that was dead. i
gave up hope, but friend told me OF
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs.
laughed at my friends, thinking that
my case was incurable, but got bot
tie to- satisfy them, when to my sur
psise aud qualification, L commenced to
feel better. Ny hope, once dead, began
to revive, and to-day feel better spirit
ed than have the past three years.
"I write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Di-
seased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. Wm. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption can
be Cured. have taken two bottles
and can positively, say that has done
more good than all the other medicines
I have taken since my sickness. My
cough has almost entirely disappeared
and shall soon be able TO go 20 work.

Griggsville.

A new railroad village was laid out at
Oarksfeld this week. The Clarksheld
Stone Co., who own the land where the
Depot is to be built, near Stilesburg, have
laid out village around the depot The
depot building is to be built of stone, 3Ox6O
feet in size, the Stone Co. paying the Rail-
road Co. $2,5O0, besides furnishing the
stone for the building. 1t is expected TO
be the best depot between Wheeling and
Toledo. The Stone Co. will proceed to
erect few buildings on the village plot for
the use of the quarrymen. They now have
twenty men at work developing the quarry
which promises to be valuable property,
the stone proving better the deeper they go.
The quarry when fully developed will
employ large number of men, bringing a
not very small village to the place. The plac-
ing of the depot at that place win greatly
enhance the value of DR.. Whites farm
which comes within few rods of the de-
pot. This will partially remunerate the DIR.
for the inconvenience of having railroad
cut his farm in two diagonally. The DR.
has fine peice of land there consisting of
100 acres, Cor which he has been offered
$40 per acre. A. D. Scott also has a fine
farm near the depot, which, should the
village ever grow to sizable dimensions,
will be valuable to cut up in village lots
One of the streets is laid out to run from
the depot to the Medina road, stricking the
road in front of Mr.. Scott's dwelling.
We went over there last Tuesday and look
ed over the place, and must say that the
location is fine one for q village and has
many desirable natural advantages. The
project has strong parties working 1t
up, no less men than s. s. Warner, r. A.
Horr, d. L. Wadsworth, Chas. Phelps and
s. K Laundon Of Wellington are the heavy
men in the enterprise. After due delibera-
ton it has been decided to call the village
