FABLE OF THE LroNEss.-A great stir was
made among the Beasts rs to which could
boast of the largest family. So when they
came to the Lioness and asked "how many
do you have at BIRTH she replied. 'only
one. but it is Lion" The moral was,
equality comes before quantity The
same may be said in contrasting many
things with which we deal. One would
desire single superior article to half a
dozen inferior ones. The same may Dc
said of medicine, and for example we will
mention English Female Bitters as posi-
tive remedy for the cure of chronic female
complaints and irregularities The mere
name of this medicine instills the most I'M
plicit confidence because it has been prov
en- that its quality is far superior to any
thing else OF the kind. Females perfei
one bottle of this to half dozen of Others
which possess no merit.

Some change should be made in
the postoffice at Cotile. The mails
are now carried BY rail to that point,
but about half the time there is no
one to receive them, and the conse-
quence is they are taken ON to the
next Office. By this sort of see-saw
business We sometimes get papers
two days old and two weeks old at
Colfax by the same mail. 1t has also
been reported to US that the postmas-
ter at Cotile has upon one or two &C.
casions, while in a state of intoxica-
ton, refused to receive and open the
land mail, cursing the carrier and
telling him to drive on.
