 Green County. New York

Statement of MT. Washington Monroe, oI Catskill,
 Green County, New York.
 "For many years I had suffered from con- plaint which the physicians called Gravel I had employed some of the most noted doctors withoot obtaining any permanent relief. and for long time my case was regarded as hope less. All who knew the circumstances said must die. Finally, my wife induced me to try bottle of Dr. Kennedy's 'Favorite Re- medy' which she had somewhere heard of or seen advertised. $ Withoat the sIightestl faith in it, but solely to gratify her, bought bot tie of druggist Tn our village. I used that and two or three bottles more, and-to make a long story short-I am now as healthy a man as there is in the country. s~ v-v4v
 Since thensI have ireeemmended Fayerite Remedy to others whom knew to have .suf- fefed from Kidney and Liver complaints; and assure the public that the 'Favorite Re- medy' has done it's work with similar con- pleteness in every single instance, andI trust some other sick and discouraged mortal may hear of It and try the 'Favorite Remedy, as 1 did"q TT &I Es9if

The Speakership.

r-r
 The Courant and other papers say with confidence that the Hon. John M Hall. of Wiudham, will have walk over for :he speakership in the next General Assembly. It is difficult to see why that should be said till we look over the field and see what ether worthy candidates there may be. We do not see any particular reason why Mir. Hall should make a walk over." saving. perhaps, that he is supposed to be welded to the iu- terests of corporations, especially railroad, as distinguished from the entire people of the State. Many persons remember the scandals connected with his name when he was chair man of the committee on railroads in 1879. We are inclined to think the several members disconnected with the special interests of cor porations will have word to say on this mat ter. Especially we may hear something from New London and it's vicinity, whose noble harbor, the pride of the State, is sought to se obstructed by, . railroad bridge across Its capacious bosom. -s! 70 slt 'o a. ', r1 ''.l
 We have a candidate in the Fourth Con- gresslonal District who is entirely disconnect- ed with any corporation or other special in- terests as against the interests of the whole people, who, we think, would. be acceptable to all. We name William CothreH, of Wood bury, who is about sixty years of agethe sen- for of Mir. Hall, and in the full exercise of his powers of mind. He is a leading member of the bar in Litchdeld county. firm and ef- fective supporter of the republican party since it's birth, aud a gentleman every way quail fled to discharge the duties of the office as to insure the respect of every one He Is well known as one of the most distinguished his. torians of the State and it would be only a graceful tribute to honor the ulau who has done honor to our commonwealth
 CThe foregoing letter is from one of the most prominent Republicans in this county We fully coincide it its criticisms of the course of MT. Hall in '72 and '73 regarding the railroads. in consequence of which he ran far behind his ticket when candidate in the latter year eff we are not mistaken in the date) for the. office of Secretary of State. .. ,

 Those who had the iron curtain and the wa ter tanks above the stage in charge ran away; and, to all the measure of official imbecility, the police could not be made to believe that there were any people in the theatre, locked the doors. and arrested every one whe tried to force an entrance. Luckily, of the 150 Amer ican medical students studying at Vienna, not one was at the theatre that night, though they are much at the theatre, and great frequenters of the fatal gallery. rrT"h gri,-4 {! -d@te-

In eating, observe to let your

both your hands, nor keep your

fingers in the sauce, nor lick them
when you have done; wipe your
mouth, and keep your spoon
clean. Gnaw not bones nor han
die dogs, nor spawl upon the floor,
and if you have occasion to sneeze
or cough, take your bat or put
your napkin before your face.
Drink not with your mouth full
nor unwiped; nor so long till you
are forced to breathe in the glass.

If you be carv'd, it's but civil to

off your plate to another TO eat of,
though he be an inferior, savors
of arrogance, much less an apple
Or a pear thai hath been bit by
