As showing the instinct of the goat, which

informed that when the war broke out and
the sound of the cannonadfng was heard in
the valley, large numbers of tame animals
of this description took refuge on the Mary
land Heights, and have never returned.
Even now they can be seen on the top OF
the mountain. Their young have been
reared on the summit, and have never be-
come domesticated. Occasionally hunters
kill the wild goats, as they are called. and
the tame ones from the vally go up and visit
them; but they persistently refuse to de
scend, and the sense of danger experienced
by the goats of 1861 and 1862 seems to have
been transmitted to their posterity.-

Editor Of Ismes.-I have been watching
the correspondence in your. paper for the
past few weeks with much interest. Hav-
ing been in the practice of medicine for
many years, I have learned to have no con-
fidence in the many proprietary medicines
which are on the market and it was through
the excellent recommendation given by DR..
Bates, and the knowledge had of his vefac-
ity and ability as a physician that ever led
me to FAY aside my long existing prejudice
to try the only wonderful remedy; named
Kendal1's SPAWN Cure which find SO
many of your readers have found to be so
valuable. Rheumatism has afflicted me for
years, and with all the skill have profess
ed to have IN treating others found myself
unable to do any thing to cure myself entire
ly.. After suffering for years the difficulty
became located in my hip and nothing that
/ could do seemed to effect it until began
to use Kendalls SPAWN Cure, which has
cured me completely. In all my experience
as physician have never been able to
make any compound which penetrates SO
thoroughly and works so admirable in re-
moving old standing ailments, and at the
same time hardly produce any irritation of
the skihl II has done much. wonders with
me that have the utmost confidence in its
efficacy, and can recommend it with the
confidence that the proprietors do not claim
too much forit.

FROM THE OIEOITI PRESS, \, !,

0neonta, New York. Jan. 6sh
Early last summer Messrs. B. ]. Kendall 4 CO., u
Enosburgh Falls, VI, made contract with the pub
fishers OF the Press for half column advertisements
for one year setting forth the merits of Kendalrs
SPAWN Cure. At the same time We secured from the
firm quantity Of books. entitled DIR. KendalPS
Treatise the horse and his Diseases which We are
giving to advance paying Subscribers to the Press 6
premium :.
About the time the advertisement frse appeared
in this paper Mr. P. g. Schermerhorn, WHO resides
near Golfers had spawned horse. He read the ad-
vertsement and concluded TO test the efficacy Of the
remedy, although his friends laughed at his cred
ulity. Hebought bottle Of Kendalis SPAWN Cure

that it effected such complete that an expert
horseman, who examined the animal recently could
find no trace of the SPAWN the place where IL had

copy of KendalPs Treatise the Horse and his Dis.
eases. which he prizes very highly and would bs
not obtain another copy. So much for advertising

Tho nluntrntcd PAPERS.

The Decorator and Etrntshsr for November still
presents the same exquisite tone 1t SO successfully
and boldly assumed at its birth. "a thing Of
beauty is a Joy forever" applies to this valuable
periodical. IL is without doubt the most beauti-
full and complete of all American periodicals de-
voted to like purposes Beside the high artistic
character of its illustrations, its letter press is
equally meritorious. Even its advertisements are
illustrated with such careful attention to details,
such harmonious finish, such exquisite softness of
tone, that they attract the eye as readily as fin
ished engrayings in most other works AT Bren'
tauo's
Brentano also sends the London Illustrated Ne'Os,
the London Graphic and the London Piciorint
World for oct. 20. These journals are marvels of
success in the art of illustrating newspaper, and
each maintains its high level without ever falling
below 1t. The full page illustrations are remark
ably fine, while tho literary excellence of the
three is upon the same high plane

ever devoting little more space this week to

THE multicharge and manifold special ca
Diagrams" which our esteemed contemporaries
print are very cheap, but tho information is
not always worth the small price paid for it.
For example, we read that Lady Colin Camp
bell, who is suing for a divorce from her hus-
band, brother of the Marquis of Lorne is the
daughter of Victoria Woodruff, The fact is
that Lady Colin Campbell is the daughter Of
Col Blood, an Irish gentleman of fortune,
and that no genuine correspondent in England
knows so littlo MS to think she is tho daughter
of the notorious Woodruff. These cablegrams

The result in New York is of high conse-

led to tho democratic avalanche of last year
no longer exist. The war between republi-

The ssO3,170.3T job.

The above are the exact figures taken from
the treasury by the job which Roformer
Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia
Press, originated and carried through. His
paper was the principal sharer in the grab.
Mr. Smith. after six weeks silence, now claims
that it was in tho interest of increased postal
facilities This is tho same answer made by
tho participants in "the star route con.
spiracy." Mr. Smith now says he is willing
to have tho whole matter investigated.
When he prints in his paper n copy of his
letter addressed to any member Of the next
house demanding an investigation THE RE-
PUBLICAN will believe no ia ia earnest. His
talk about the suppression OF records and
documents is baby talk. Congress has power,
not only to get the papers, but also the state
ments under oath of the officers knowing all
the facts.
Eight hundred and three thousand four
hundred and seventy-nine dollars and thirty
seven cents is big grab. We hope good
Mr.. Smith will be able, with the aid of a
congressional committee, to explain it away
to the satisfaction of honest people.

of Mr. Cohen Shields was thoroughly

A SPECIAL correspondent of THE Ma

faith that the republicans of Maryland can
elect u governor to-day, although he
is not prepared to admit that the
battle is lost. He predicts a republican ma

weak in effective campaign organization, but
