Rejoice, Rejoice, HE is alive again
WAS lost, but il found

Under date of July 9, 1882, Mr.. E. b. Bright,
of Windsor Locks, Connecticut, writes a plain,
modest narrative, which, from its very sim
plicity, has the true ring of fine gold. He says:
MY father is using Hunts Remedy and
GEMS to be improving, intact, he is very much
better than he has been for long time. He
had been tapped three times. The first time
they got from him sixteen quarts of water, the
second time thirteen quarts, and fully as much
more the third time. and he would constantly
fill up again after he had been tapped, until he
commenced using Hunts Remedy, which acted
like magic in his case, as he begun to improve
at once, and now his watery accumulation
passes away through the secretions naturally
and he has none of that swelling or filling up
which was so frequent before the functions of
the kidneys were restored by the use of Hunts
Remedy. He is a well known citizen of this
place, and has always been in business here. >
Again he writes, Nov. q, 1882:
81 beg most cheerfully and truthfully to
state in regard to Hunts Remedy, that its use
heho lhC Saving VI my ll1C. opohC W
you in my previous letter in regard to his be-
ing tapped three times. 1t is the most re-
markable case that has ever been heard of in
this section. For a man of his age (siXty
years)it is most remarkable cure He had
been unable to attend to his business for more
than year, and was given up by the doctors.
THE first bottle of Hunts Remedy that he
used gave instant relief. He has used in all
seven bottles, and continues to use it when
ever he feels drowsy or sluggish, and it affords
instant relief. He is now attending to his reg
ular business, and has been several months.
am perfectly willing that you should publish
this letter, as we thoroughly believe that
fathers life was saved by using Hunts Rene
dy; and these facts given above may be ben,
fit to others suffering in like manner from
diseases or inaetiOn of the Kidneys and
Liver"

The March moon fulls on the 23d at
twenty minutes past 1 o'clock in the
evening. She is the most distinguish
ed moon of the year, and eXerts an
untold influence upon the affairs of
men; for the first full moon after
the vernal equinox determines the
time on which Easter shall fall.
Easter in turn determines the time of
the other movable fasts and feasts of
the church. This year the moon fulls
three days after the vernal equinox,
and the following Sunday, the 25th,
marks the Easter festival, within
three days of the earliest date
on which EASTER can occur
The moon therefore decides that
the Lenten season shall commence
early this year. The moon pays her
respects to the planets in the follow
ing order: The waning moon is neal
Venus on the 5th, and near Mercury
and Mars on the eth. The new moon
of the Sth is in conjunction with n 2p.
tune on the 18th, Saturn on the 18th
Jupiter on the 18th, and Uranus on
the 22d. None of the conjunctions
are near enough to be of special inter.
est. Our neighbor, the moon, pre-
sents five phases during the month
being seen in the last quarter on the
I'd and on the 31st.

A Suggestion.

O1PhfaSS MILES DbANCO
COUNTY, March Is, 1883.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
As it is probable several amend
ments to the constitution will be sub
mitted to the people for ratification,
would it not be well to adopt some plan
whereby the voters may know just
what they are voting for? When the
amendments were voted on just two
years ago, very few understood the
propositions, and l know in one case
that the judges told every one who
asked that the amendments would in
crease taxes, and at that precinct the
majority was overwhelming against
them.
1 would suggest that the amend
ments adopted by the legislature be
printed by authority of the state
printing board, in large type English,
or even larger,) and sufficient num-
Der of copies be sent to county judges
to be distributed by them among the
presiding judges, when the blank re-
turns are sent out, with instructions
to post up one or more copies at the
polls. Voters could thus understand,
and would have their attention di-
rected to, just what they voted for or
against. The cost of printing would
be mere trifle. OCCASIONAL.

UuSlucoS turing the winter having
been caused mainly by the discussion
of the tariff question and the uncer-
tainty rs to what congress would do
about 1t. A prominent Wall street
: man was interviewed on Saturday
last regarding the situation, and he
gave his opinion as follows:
We have no need for anxiety.
Money is plenty and .loaning at low
rates of interest. The decrease in the
bank reserves is on account of spring
disbursements. You see during the
session of congress, the manufacture
ers and merchants have been hold
ing back business to see what would
be done with the tariff question.
Many expected that some movement
might be made to hurt their interests
and cause great loss and reduction
on the staple articles of iron and cot
ton by admitting them free of duty.
This feeling had a tendency to stop
all work at the mills As a conse-
Quence business has been suspended
throughout the country. This sus-
pension has affected all trades alike;
the result Is dull times. As the ses-
sion of congress draws to close, and
an extra session is not likely. why all
this uncertainty Is dispelled, and BUSH
ness will resume its natural condi-
ton. The Hoods and snow blockades
won't last long, and the prospects are
not bad on the whole.
The country is in no such condition
as Il was previous to the panic of
1873. All business has been conduct
81 largely on cash basis; there is no
large amount OF paper floating around.
A panic Is impossible that would af-
feet the entire country. The pros
poets now are. good outlook for the
crops. resumption OF manufacturing
and commercial business. n large in

"wild-eyed" bovines are driven, and,
when received, are lowered in a
twinkling down the hatchway, and
thence driven to their stalls. Just
now the shipping of cattle to Europe
is brisk, and the demand on this coun-
try is increasing every year. Refrig-
Grating steamers, loaded with thous-
ands of carcasses, also pillow the At

that there is profit in the exporta-
