Too much cannot be sad of the ever
faithful wife and mother constantly
watching and caring for her dear ones,
never neglecting single duty in their
behalf. When they are assaulted by
disease. and the system should have a
thorough cleansing, the stomach and
bowels regulated, blood purified, and
malaria poison exterminated, she
must know that Electric Bitters are
the only sure remedy. They are
the best and purest medicine in the
world and only cost fifty cents. Sold

The Musicale" at the residence of
Geo. w. Cobb. Esq. on Tuesday
evening. was success musically and
socially. The selections were rem
dered with much skill and the per-
formers received the thanks of all who
were fortunate enough to be present.
After the programme WAS concluded,
the guests enjoyed themselves in so
cial amusement and went home feeling
well repaid for having braved the
storm that ragged without. The MEM
bers of the association are musicians
of more than ordinary proficiency. and
the entertainment was in every re-
spect musical treat. To mention
each selection, would occupy too much
space, and to discriminate when all
were so we'll rendered would be us
fair. The programme below will
speak for itself:

The Grant County Herald says:-A
good work has been done by Prof.
Wood in the public schools CT this city
IL instituting a fire drill among the
scholars. Children are proverbially apt
to be seized by panic in the event of any
sudden accident and it is to remedy
this that the drill was inaugurated by
the Professor. At a certain tap of the
bell all the children sieze their books
step into their proper places and march
out of the building. One day recently
as test of proficiency. the bell was
struck when the scholars were least
expectig it and the building was empt'
led in two minutes. 1t has been as.
sumed by some that the institution OF
the drill was caused by fear that the
building was i'll danger of catching fire
| This the Professor informs us is a
baseless supposition. The drill was
commenced in accordance with a
knowledge of the peculiarities of chill
dren and a desire to remove the danger
of panic should there be occasion for
their vacating the school building at
any time, in case of fire or other emf
nent danger. Fire drill should always
be made part of the programme in
every school where any large body OF
scholars are congregated together.

and ought, consequently, to be tried by
their courts; Notwithstanding which they
were compelled by the British government
to yield him up that he might be tried in
the centre of its power; because he was not
tried at the first port of the nation whose
laws he is said to have tranegressed &C.
cordirg to legal usage and requirement;
and because the judge who presided at the
trial contrary to law and precedent under
took to decide the question of fact, the
very purpose for which the jury was en-
paneled, and without which the sacred
right of trial by jury becomes a mockery.
We are confirmed in our conviction
that it cannot be considered unbefttinp
that even executive action be requested to
present instances, by the fact in several
cases, and notably of quite recent date
that such course has been adopted at the
solicitation of friends of the accused.
The question is simply whether an Ameri-
can citizen, shall by a foreign government
be put to death by illegal and foul means,
without remonstrance and without effort
to save him. We rely confidently on your
sense of justice and your national spirit
to render such help as lies in your power
in this matter and request that such action
m ~ lead to the desired result.
