 This is especially true of family medicine, and it is posi- tive proof that the remedy imitoted is of the highest value.
 As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imita- tions sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had express ed the merits of II. B., and in every way trying to induce suffer- ing invalids to use their stuff in- stead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B.
 Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. B., with variously cunningly devised names in which the word s'Hop" or "Hops' were used in way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word 'FHop" or SHops" in tLeir name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imi- tations or counterfeias.
 Beware of them. Touch none of them, but: Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch or cluster of green Hops on the White label. Trust nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned against dealing in limitations or Ao11DtarfaitS <r>

 Week before last the teacher in the lower school district, or what is commonly known as the Sandy Hollow school, had occasion to punish one of her pupils, Master Samuel Meachim, about If years of age, who showed fight. The teacher, who Is lady, finally succeeded in mastering him by fine chas- ] Using, which the boys parents did not like l and consequently the boys father caused the arrest of the teacher. Her case came before Justice Morehouse's court on Saturday last, when both sides of the case were heard. It resulted in the teacher being honorabIy &C., quilted of all blame, greatly to the satisfac- l tion of a large number of our citizens. It is 1 11Sl tune SOm6tn10S SnOulG pc QOno W1tl
