FROM 1.-THE TINES"

Editor of the 7imes-Tbe state
ments recently published in your
valuable paper have created much
excitement in this city among the
class who own and use horses, and
alter reading Jour request that all
should write you who had been
benefited by the letter published,
from DR. Bates, in regard to the re-
markable success he always had
with kerdall's SPAWN Cure, de-
eided to write you my experience
with it. My first knowledge OF this
remedy came through visit to the
Office of the Massachusetts Society
for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails. This society was the first to
use kendall's SPAWN Cure IN Bos-
ton, ard l was informed by Charles
4. Currier, gentleman in wbo4 l
had the utmost confidence, that
they had never used anything that
worked SO well for spavins or any
lameness in horses, and be stated
that lie gave it to poor men who
had lame horses and would agree to
use it, and in this way he was en-
abled to get along without prose-
cutting them, as it was sure to cure
when persevered with. Some time
after this / received very severe
injnry 10 the knee joint, and the
nigh recommendation which Mr..
Currier gave to Kendails SPAWN
Cure gave me so much confidence
III it that used it for my knee with
the very best of results; since that
time nay faith has baen SO strong IN
the merits of this remedy that we
viii not be without it in the house.
| have tried it since that time for
foot-rot, sore teats and warts on my
cows teats, also fer q general iiri-
msnt Tor my horses and in my fam
lily. and sincerely believe, with all
those who have written you before,
that there never was SO good lini-
ment Tor both man and beast ever
discovered before. Hoping you will
continue to give us more light on
this ubiect, | am, yours very truly,

Ways an! Means when he becomes
Speaker. Will he make it repre-
sent the eighteen men who with
him voted against their party OF
the Tariff bill at the last session, or
WILL he frame it so as to represent
the body of the party? That Is an
interesting question and proper
one, because it asks whether Mr..
Randall proposes to be the master
or the servant of his party when he
assumes the Speakership.' The
Herald's question is easily answer
ed. Mr.. Randall, if elected Speak

well Withdraw from the canvass OF

BY an ordinance of the town Of
Alexandria, the owners of lote
where weeds grow are compelled 10
cut them down, because ".hey are
nuisance and liable to produce
disease" In our opinion, growing
weeds absorb filth and malaria, and
tend to prevent disease, while they.
after being cut down, produce ma
laria and cause disease. In al!
town lots where filth is deposited
whore horses, cows, hogs. dogs OF
chickens stay, the weeds should be
allowed to grow. till killed down by
cold. Weeds are vegetable scaven.
gers, that work necessarily nigh:
and day, and they should be pro-
tected when lley grow where there
is filth. ST. Landry Democrat.
