Deceptive Frauds.
As soon as it became apparent that
Moses King, the young publisher, of
Harvard square, at Cambridge, Mass,
had met an unprecedent success with his
book called students Songs"-the sale
already reaching nearly fifty thousand
copies-several publishers brought out
collections of so-called student or college
songs. Some of them are legitimate conf
petitors but some appear so similar in
shape, in title, design or general make
up. as to mislead casual buyer who
may be intending to get a copy of the
original 'sStudents' Songs" which was
edited by VIM. II. Hills, of tho Harvard
class of 1880, and published by Moses
King of the Harvard class of 1881, the
names of both appearing on the title page
of the genuine collection only. The sue
cess of this collection is due chiefly to the
freshness of its sixty copyrighted songs /;
comprising those jolly and melodious
tunes and peculiar phrases which, within
the past ten years, have arisen and De-
come generally popular among the stu
dents of all American colleges. The low
price, too-fifty cents-and the attrac-
tive appearance, have had their influence
in making Students Songs" the most
successful book of its class ever published
in this country.

The bulwark of health is blood. If this
be impure and runs sluggishly through
the system, health must be undermined
sooner or later. The most perfect reno
vator that the patient ever yet has tried
is Vinegar Bitters. 1t carries off all inn
purities, enriches the life-giving fluid, re-
stores health and vigor, and is boon to
suffering humanity.

Our Firemen.

Our Firemen.
There seems to be desire among some
of our citizens, that the Chief Engineer
of our Fire Department should call out
the several fire companies, with their hose
and apparatus, so that citizens may see
what protection they have in case of dis
asterous fire visiting our city. The united
length of the hose that the city possesses
could be Joined, and water forced through,
the engines tested, and the Hook and Lad
der Company have an exercise with their
ladders. 1t is not really necessary that
the firemen shall be uniformed for this &C.
casion. A Saturday afternoon is suggest
ed for the time. 1t is hoped that the
Chief aud his Assistants will see the me-
cessity of showing the efficiency of our
fire department to our citizens, who pay
literally through our City Council for its
maintenance.

The iron bridge crossing Swans
creek on South Main street, was made for
usefulness and also for ornament. In its
structure there is main post on each end
of the bridge that is sadly dsfgured.
Part of panel in each post has been
broken. If the Freebooter who has the
overseeing and repairing of this bridge
will order that the posts to be repaired,
aud the bridge painted in colors, it will
certainly add to its appearance and also
to its durability.
