My speciality lie diseases OF women and
children. like Allcock's Porous Plasters
because they are so quick and efficient, and
never initiate or mark the tenderest skin.

prscIice, and they are certainly the best
plssters now made. To illustrate: My son
Of ten years of age took bad cold and
coughed necessarily; no medicine would
relic We him. after some twelve hours ap-
Piled an Allcock's Porous Plaster to his
throat and upper chest. The cough ceased
entirely in an hour, and the next day the
boy was well.
| told the case to a gentleman who sui.
fered in the same way; he, too, was cured
in twenty.four hours OF bis cough by ALI
cocks Porous Plasters. Another patient
suffered from pain in the small OF the
back-Alleock's Porous Plaster was applied
at night, and next morning the pain had
ceased. Again, young lady suffering
from neuralgia pains around the heart, by
NV advice used Allcock's Porous Plasters,
and was entirely cured in three days.
Finally lady came to me with cold feet,
which constantly required night and day
this sometimes is a symptom OF uterine
congestion-I applied an Allcock's Porous
Plaster to the sole OF each foot, snd her
feet got and continued warm. She wore
the plasters for over week.

DRAMATIC DOTS.

OF Janauschek to be here next week, the
Cincinnati News Journal says:
Certainly Madame Janauschek could not
have hoped or wished q warmer welcome
than was accorded her at Haylin's last
night by the large audience present, upon
the occasion of her first appearance here
this season. The play Of "Zillah" opens
brightly in the home Of the woman to whom
the Hebrew mother has entrusted her
child while she seeks fortune out in the
world. A designing scoundrel, who has
power over the child's guardian, wrests it
from her adoption in a noble family.
When Madame Jensuschek, as the mother
returning to claim her child, came upon
the stage, the storm of applause that greet.
ed her was long and loud, and as the cur
tain went down upon each succeeding act
the enthusiasm grew and cheers mingled
with the roar Of meeting hands that recall
ed her before the curtain again aud again.
At the end of the third act there were four
recalls.
The Bankers Daughter" VIII be here on
Friday and Saturday of next week. An
exchange says;
THE Bankers Daughter" was given last
evening at the Griswold Opera House, for
the first time this season, before q large
and Well-pleased audience. 1t is one Of
the few dramas so elevated in sentiment,
50 pureil tone and consistent in treatment
that it Is positive relief to hear it after
being submerged by the flood of melo-
drama which is sweeping so furiously over
the country. the company presenting the
play are well adapted to their respective
psrts, Mr.. James +. Crossen as "Phipps,"
being unusually effective. The Legation
and Duel Scenes are beautiful specimens
Of scenic art.

Another Has,y wedding.

A pleasant wedding occurred yesterday
morning at Svuire PetermaD's office.
George Green, formerly of Romney, W.
Va, and Miss Matte Moss, Of Alexander,
Pa, were the contracting parties. Miss
Matte came down from West Alexander
yesterday and at once proceeded to the
office OF Squire Peterman, where she COM
planned that George had deceived her and
done her irreparsble wrong. George, who
has been working in this city for few
weeks, was sent for, and when he appeared
he seemed delighted to see his Matte, and
remarked that he intended to marry her,
but was waiting to make some money. The
SQUIRE remarked that il he went to jail he
wouldn't be able to make much money
looking through the bars, AID that perhaps
be had better get married at once. This
plan suited all parties and a license was
procured. DR.. J. E Smith was called and
performed the ceremony. Squire Peter
man gave the bride away and J. ID. Elson
ard VIM, Love acted as groomsmen. The
couple seemed delighted at the union.

Yesterday evening about half past six
o'clock quite an excitement was created on
the wharf by seeing horse attached to
wagon struggling in the river on the out
side of the wharf boat. A crowd fastened
down the bank only to sea the driver swim
ashore and the horse after a desperate
struggle succeeded IN gaining the shore.
The team belonged to Prscht, the Main
street baker, and the driver, BOY about II
years of age, drove into the river above the
wharf to wash off the wagon. In some
manner the boy drove out too far and the
current catching the wagon swung it out
into the stream. This swept the horse off
his feet and the horse and wagon started
down the river. The boy seeing he could
not save the horse and wagon jumped out
and swan ashore. The horse, though cum
nered with the wagon, succeeded in reach
ing shore about 100 yards below where he
entered the water. 1t is a wonder that q
lumber of the teams driven into the river
very every evening are not drowned, for
he drivers take great risks nearly all the
time BY steiL s who can go out the farthesk-
