DR.. YARNELL, late Principal of the
Northern Indiana Surgical Institute, can
be consulted again at the Isham House,
Jackson, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, Feb. 9th, 2Sth and March 1st. The
Doctor is one of the oldest and most ex-
perienced orthopadic surgeons in the
west, and has no superior, and few equals,
in the treatment of chronic ailments.
He has given twenty-five years to the
study and consideration of these COM
plants, and in proof of his abilities will
name the disease, describe the symptoms,
and explain the peculiar sufferings of
each afflicted person without asking a
single question. He also manufactures
every variety of the latest and most ap-
proved instruments for crippled and de-
formed children, and other cases requir-
ing mechanical support, and furnishes
the appliances at less prices than the
same quality of work can be had else
where, and his regular and continued
visits enables him to re-examine
and re-adjust his instruments to
meet the changes and new requirements
dIlSlllS Ill 6dCu luulNIuu CdSo, h66plllS
his patients under his personal super
vision, and placing within the reach of
the people all the advantages of a Surg
ical Institute right at home. In the
treatment of chronic diseases, including
Catarrh, Diseases of the Eye and Ear,
Throat, Lungs, Heart, Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys, Blood and Nerves, and other
long standing complaints of both men
and women, he guarantees absolute
cur es, and will forfeit double the price
paid him for every case he undertakes
and fails to cure, if his remedies are
faithfully employed, and proper rules of
diet strictly observed.
His examinations are all free, and if he
can do you no good he will tell you so
at once. Remember the day and date,
and come early, as his rooms are often so
crowded at the close of his visit that
many are compelled to go away without
seeing him.

Still Another Grand Party!

On the 18th of February, 1867, Asa A.
Farrar and Mary Miller were married
They have resided in Jackson ever since
that time-occupying, most of the time
a residence built adjoining the old Miller
homestead, corner of Main and Pearl
Streets. We have been acquainted with
this couple from childhood. Asa was at
one time employed in this Office. Mary
is Oldest daughter of the late o. G. Miller,
and is just such a good, kind-hearted, af-
fectionate wife as Asa deserves. They
now have two children, both girls-Miss
Minnie, an exceedingly pretty young lady,
and Miss Katie, a girl of perhaps ten
years.
On last Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Farrar celebrated the fifteenth anniver-
sary of their marriage. Sixty invitations
were sent out, but they found that their
selections of friends whom they desired
to have present could not be limited to
sixty, and other invitations were given,
and the result was that their residence
was so filled with happy friends that in
some parts of the house there was "stand-
lily IOOul 1uClC WClC lllCI1 VI oil
ages, and of every description, present.
There We're venerable, bald-headed men
like J. III. Martin, the merchant There
were short and lean men, like H. E. Dick
ason, the banker, there were fat men like
J. D. Mitchell and thin men like Charley
James-in fact it was jolly, happy par
ty. 1t is not necessary to speak of the
ladies. Everybody knows of the intelli-
gence beauty, and fine social qualities of
the Jackson ladies, and the house was
well filled with them.
There were refreshments served at
about ten o'clock. Those who know J.
M. Tripp, Will Miller, Miss Jessie Miller,
Miss Lola, Williams, and Miss Minnie
Farrar, need not be told that there was
no escape-all had to eat, and keep on
eating, until they could move the hearts
of these importunate dispensers of good
things by compassion. Mrs. D. l.. Pick
rel, Mrs. g. w. Miller. and others super
intended affairs.
Before supper, Rev. w. D. Cherington
called the house to order, and offered an
appropriate prayer. 1t was strange
scene. The house was ringing with
shouts and laughter. In an instant all
was hushed, then the solemn tones of the
minister alone broke the silence, as he
implored the Divine blessing upon the
happy home, and the assembled guests.
Then, the confusion reigned supreme
again, and so the evening wore on. All
was mirth, and jollity. and happiness.
The guests departed about midnight.
The happy couple were the recipients of
many beautiful presents from their
friends.
Those who attended this party can do
no more than to wish this couple as much
happiness in the future as they have en-
ioyed in the past, and for our own part
we will say that the STANDARD hopes to
attend their fiftieth anniversary.

Count of Common Pleas.

Monday morning opened with heavy
rain, but at the second ringing of the bell
the Court House was pretty well filled.
Promptly at ten o'clock Judge Trip took
his seat and Court was opened. The
names of the Grand Jurors were called,
and all answered and took their seats. j..
G. Cole, clerk at Cornelia Furnace, was
excused by the Court, on account of his
business requiring his attention at the
Furnace, and p H. Garrett was called in
his place. James NJ. Evans, of Jackson,
was appointed Foreman, and was sworn
as such. The balance of the jurors took
the oath, when the Judge proceeded to
give the usual charge.
Sheriff Cherington was able to be in
Court, and attend to his duties. He has
the following assistants: Court Messenger
VIM. DuHadway: Grand Jury Constable,
Jerome Plummer; Riding Constables,
William Howe and Wesley Delay.
We did not notice any attorneys pres
ent at the opening of the Court except
the Jackson attorneys and Van Pelt and
Bingham, of Wellston.
No case being ready for trial, there was
no session in the afternoon.

Other DAYS.

In looking over the STANDARD of other
days, we find that Whig Convention
of Jackson and Vinton counties, held on
the 9th of August, 1858, in Hamden, "T. r.
Mathews, of Jackson was made Chairman,
and ]. p. Plyley, of Vinton, was made Sec
retary. After which the Convention pro-
ceeded to nominate William J. Evans, of
Jackson, for Representative. In that year,
Jared Stephenson was candidate for
Treasurer of Jackson county, Joseph
Radcliff candidate for Commissioner, B.
F. Smith candidate for Recorder, and
and Thompson Leach candidate for Sur
veyor.
Also, that cat sale of lots in James
town Addition to the town of Jackson
on the 2Sth of August, twenty-four In.
Lots sold for S2,5Gs, and three Out-Lots
sold for $64s.
Also, that "there has been erected on
the Public Square comfortable and con-
venient Market House." About all the
Market House was ever used for was tt
hold political meetings in, and for drunk
en- men to sleep in the stalls. 1t was al
improbable investment. and was tor1
! down.
To show that in some respects at leas
time does not change much, we will
quote that "On Thursday last, about
miles from town, man gave to the chile
of Mr.. Burns, only years old, tea-cu]
full of whisky, which, after having beel
drank but few hours, the child was
corpse. The man had great affection fo
the child, and thought he was showing
a kindness"

THE March Atlantic has an unusually large and va
ried list of contents, which should make 1t a very
popular number Mr.. N. II. Egleston tells 1.-THE Story
of the Hoosac Tunnel" which, of the great tri
umphs of modern engineering, as having involved
endless discussion in Massachusetts, and being the
has national interest Prof N s. Shaler contributes
a paper on "Hurricanes,' which, in view of the
periences of the past year, will surely find large
number of interested readers. Rev. Z. Z. Hale con-
nues his articles upon the Life and Times OF Jesus
Christ, with account of "a Visit to jerusalem"
which reproduces with wonderful distinctness the
scenes and characters which give to that
ending attraction. An anonymous paper surveys
1.-THE Political Situation with little ability and
candor and those who curious about the future
the two great parties will do well to read this. An
engaging article on Hymns and Hymn -Tinkers,n
by A. p. Hitchcock, will very well repay reading.
Elizabeth Robins contributes another of her very
interesting essays mythology this time devoted to
"Loki'" Prof. John Trowbridge, under the title Of
Life and the Dream of Life" discusses with vigor
and great intelligence the relative value of different
departments of study. H. H. writes Among the
Sky Lines" Colorado Sketch. Mary Treat has an
Interesting outdoor article 'Our Winter Birds"
j. p. Quincy discusses "A Difficulty in Hamlet" and
Gen. s. NJ. Quincy reviews recent volumes the
Campaigns of the Civil War;" Besides poems by
Charlotte F. Bates and Edith NJ. Thomas, Mr.. Whit
tier contributes one entitled AT Last" and Di.
Holmes one Before the Curfew." The similarity Of
the theme and the Characteristic difference in treat
ment of these two last-named poems, and the deep
thought and religious feeling in both, note
worthy that they cannot fail to wide reading
and unusual interest. Mr. Stedman has perfect lit
tie poem on "A Great Man whose Mind is Clouding.r
Reviews of new books and the Contributors Club
complete a remarkably interesting number of this
sterling magazine. Houghton, Mfiin & Co., Boston.

Worth Risking.

THE STANDARD never advises young
men to do aught against their own iuter-
ests, or against the interests of the COM
munity in which they live, hence we will
say, even at the risk of being subjected
to the crushing sneer of some over-wise
individual, that the sight we witnessed at
one of the churches in this place, on last
Friday night, of a procession of young
men and boys marching toward the altar,
to engage, with I'll members of the
church, in prayer, was one of the best
pictures we ever looked upon.
Perhaps no town in the State, of the
same population, or anything near the
same population, offers more temptations,
to lure young men to life of general
deviltry, than Jackson.
In the excitement, the confusion, the
stencil. and the maudiin reyelry of the
saloons, the boy or young man will have
no difficulty in finding men who will be
his friends as long as he possesses dime
and is willing to spend it.
1t is a sad fact that too many young
men fall in with such companions. Many
of them have found out, to their sorrow,
that all the joys to be found in such
places quickly rush by, leaving them
broken, despairing, and ruined.
To go to one of these places, and tell
the old gray-haired men to be found
there that there is anything in religion,
or that man can belong to church and
be a decent man, would subject the one
who would so tell them to the most cut
ting ridicule, and the most whitening sar-
casm. Yet no one can deny that
the young man who will listen
to the entreaties of praying moth
er, or Christian father, unite with
a church, or take upon himself any other
form of obligation to live better life,
then zioe up to his obligation, would be
thousand times better off than his tip
pling companions, even admitting that
Heaven was "barren ideality," and the
Christian religion delusion.
There may be an upright life and clear
conscience in the church, or in the Sab
bath h-school-there cannot be in the dog
gerry or gambling den.
There seems to be no way of suppress
ing these vices. The best that can be
done is to persuade young men to keep
away from them. We would like to see
the books of the churches of Jackson
filled with the names of the young men.
We see reeling about the streets of Jack
son, every day, disgusting specimens of
wrecks made IN the infamous dens that
abound on every hand. We do not de-
sire to advance the doctrines or methods
of any church, but we believe there is a
better life than that of the wrecks al
luded to, and that better life may, possi-
bly,, be found in the churches. At least,
the promise is worth any possible risk.

A NEW desk has been put into the Post
office in this place, which is the most con-
venient and useful thing we ever saw.
1t is designed for the use of the public,
and stands on the left hand side of the
room as you enter. There is large desk
room for writing, with three ink foun-
tains, and pens. AT the top, in the GEN.
ter, is a fine clock, from Bedel's, and be-
low the clock number of dials showing
the times of the arrivals of all the mails,
with the times of closing the several
mails at Jackson.
All the business men of Jackson who
could secure space, have beautiful busi-
ness cards. At the upper right hand
corner, on the right of the clock, the
Standard has a large beautiful card.

On Saturday night we went to the City
Hall to see "Uncle Toms Cabin" played
by the Fifth Avenue Combination. Be
fore the play commenced the manager
came upon the stage and announced that
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson were two of the
principal actors, and their little boy was
dangerously sick-in fact, supposed to be
dying, and it would detract much from
the performance, as Mrs. Johnson, who
was to act as "Topsy," could not leave the
bedside of her child, and Mr. Johnson, the
father, could not be expected to act well
his parts, under the circumstances.

Two OR three papers in the State hav

Two OR three papers in the State have
resolved that they will never mention the
name of Guiteau in their papers. We do
not see any point in this. They speak of
him as the wretch, the murderer, sc.
Now we would not be so restricted in
any case, either as to the worst men or
the best. We have very often spoken of
Oliver S. Miller as a man we regard as
among the most worthy. This still is not
to the point. A bad man may seell good
goods, and sell them cheap. No matter
as to the character of the seller Miller
has the reputation of one of the leading
merchants in this place, and his store is
always popular.

ONE of the doggeries of Jackson sue
ceeded in leaving its mark at the crossing
of Main and Church Streets, on Friday
night. Many suffering pedestrian
doubtless concluded that the proprietor
had spilled keg of his choice beer ON the
crossing. The Mayor had the crossing
literally sprinkled with lime, but the
volume" reached far beyond the strength
of the lime Some men are doubtless sat-
isfied that they made their marks in the
world, on that occasion. And they did.

A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itch

cred by DR.. William, (anIndian remedy0
called DR.. Williams Indian Ointment. A
single box has cured the worst chronic ca
ses of 25 or 80 years standing. No one

harm than good. Williams Ointmentab
serbs the tumors, allays the intense itch
ing, particularly at night after getting
warm in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives in
slant and painless relief, and is prepared
only for Piles, itching of the private parts,
and for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. j. M. Coffinbury of
Cleveland says about DR.. Williams Indi-

Pile Cures, and it affords me pleasure to
