severity for five years and half.
She had been treated for Liver dis
ease, Dyspepsia, Malaria and various
other complaints without success, for a
while she suffered from these disorders,
there were other and more serious
complications which her medical adj
visers failed to take into consideration.
Upon careful examination, we found
the root Of the disorder to be a deep
seated nervous and uterine disease.
Her blood was impoverished. circula-
ton feeble and sluggish, nervous forces
torpid and the whole system gradual
ly breaking down under the general
arrangement. Size had pain in
nearly part of her body ; was nervous,
irritable and prostarated. [ told her
that she was durable, but that progress
must be slow She said she could
only experience improvement. She
was under our treatment four months,
when she was discharged in good
health. IF she had expected a cure
in week, and grown impatient, she
would have lived and died a chronic
invalid. WI.

The farmers and manufacturers in
Town ga, are kicking about paying
their taxes. 1t seems that the land
they paid tax of $500 forty
last year, they are requested to pay
IS and $40 forty this year. Farmers
in the Town of Sigel cannot stand
any such tax. Furthermore no one
seems to know what the reason is for
SO high tax. No great improve
ments have been made this year, no
school houses have been built, and
yet the tax is enormous. This matter
of taxation is very important factor
in the minds Of both farmer and
manufacturer. No Institution of
whatever kind can stand over taxation.

Bully for Runyan.

Over nineteen years ago Mr. B. E.
Runyan, of this city, made application
to the government for pension on
account of disabilities contracted in
the army, but failed to secure the
desired object. Not discouraged or
disheartened he continued to work on
as best he could through weary years
and many hardship to keep his family
from want and suffering, and at one
time was i'll for seven years when he
was utterly helpless and unable to
earn penny. During this severe tria!
Mrs. Runyan with courage SO char
acteristic of many noble mothers, went
out to work and earned the livelihood
for the entire family and thereby stay
ed the cold hand of want from their
door. No thanks to the government,
however. A few years ago Mr.. Run
yam made second application to the
government for that which was due
him. This week he received his GER
tifcate notifying him of the allowance
Of his claim and the amount of arrears
with increase from date of last appli-
cation. The aggregate of the amount
he will receive in few days is over
$1,000. Again we say "Bully for
Runyan.

a profane word, but as he looked at the
sweet face of the little child, whose big
blue eyes gazed at him wonderingly,
yet without shadow of fear, he was
ashamed to swear, and not once after
that, during the long voyage to Brazil
and back to New York, did he ever let a
coarse or profane word pass his lips.
"Who are you, little one, and what are
you doing here?" he asked kindly.

ON the Rochester Post Express

From the Rochester Post Express
When Nesmith was elected to the
Senate from Oregon, in the early part
of the war, he had never been in Wash.
ington; never been east of the Rocky
Mountains, in fact, since he emlgrated
as boy to the Pacific slope to seek his
fortune. He had never seen railroad
or a locomotive until he struck the
Panama road at the Isthmus, and, as he
described himself, was ''green as q
squash" Upon reaching Washington,
being too bashful to present his creden-
tials and be sworn in at once, he spent a
day or two looking down upon that dis
tinguished body from seat in the gal
lery, so as to get the hang of things q
little before he ventured on the floor
His difhdence wore off after little and
his great fund of anecdote, his fine vein
of humor, his frontier frankness and
originality of character and manner
drew around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in a group
of Senators who had been questioning
him concerning his adventurous life,
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts said:
II understand, Senator, that you had
never seen q railroad until you came
East, and that everything of that sort in
the way of modern Improvements was
entirely new to you. Now, I am curl
GUS to know what struck you as being
the most wonderful thing that met your
observation on this side of the CONT
nent?"
Nesmith hesitated moment, then
said: "Well, spent my first two or
three days in Washington up there in
the gallery, looking at the senate, and !
think what most filed me with wonder
was the thought that I, who went off to
Oregon years ago a poor, uneducated
boy, should be here as member of the
highest Legislative body in the country.
That was my greatest wonder"
''Well-but-I don't mean that ex-
actly," said Wilson, who was chiefly
curious about what mechanical contriv-
ance or invention had excited most sur
prise, ''but what after that most sur
prised you?"
"Well," said Nesmith, dropping his
serious manner and putting on quiz.
