The chronological Journal for May is
on our table. The magazine continues
to be one of the best and most interest
ing of the monthlies. Fowler & Wells,

There are some people in this town
who ought to learn that shrouds have no
pockets. 1t would be better for them to
hear their praises sung for having aided
in building up the town than to have
their heirs quarrel over the money they
may leave.
MSS Lydia Ashinger, daughter Of Mr..
Ashinger, of Eaton, died very suddenly
at Winchester, Ind, IN Saturday night
last. She was about twenty years of
age, and only three weeks ago was on
our streets in the bloom of health and
cheerfulness.
One of the few commendable acts pass
ed by the last Legislature was the Yeat-
man bill prohibiting the sale of the toy
pistol. This innocent instrument of death
will no longer adorn the windows of deal
ers, and no longer, at least let us hope,
will we hear of its destruction of youth
full life throughout the State.
Some persons are very anxious to see
every little frailty of their neighbors held
up to public gaze, and persons of such

John Upham and William Clayton
have now charge of the old reliable Rob-
inson Planning Mill and propose to run it

as they are gentlemen of well-known en-
ergy and perseverance they will do what
they promise. Persons wanting any
thing in their line will find it advantage
GUS to call at their establishment.

SO often experienced is the result ofim-
poyerished blood, and consequent enfee-
bled vitality. Ayers Sarsaparilla feeds
and enriches the blood, increases the APP
petite, and promotes digestion of the
food, and the assimilation of its strength
ening qualities. The system being thus
invigorated, the feeling rapidly changes
to a grateful sense of strength and en-
ergy.
The first principle Of health is cleanli-
ness, and in this we are supported by the
divine injunction chat cleanliness is next
to godliness." And just at this season
wien the cellars and back yards begin
to exhale noxious doors from the accu-
mutations of a long winter, it is impera-
tive that cleanliness should prevail. The
heaps of garbage which begin to tester
under the growing heat of the u should
at once be cleaned up, and buried or
burned.
