Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three SISTERS DEAD.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedaryille, Cumberland
Co, n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought | could live My work ship
smithing very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get ii in this little place, and |
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that | have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
aS nothing else does, and must have a
dozen bottles at once Use this commu-
nieation as you please, and if any one wants
to he convinced of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to il, for
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug

persons in it's employ, and not honestly
drawn and paid.

readers not aware OF the facts are likely to
be affected by them.
An Ohio correspondent clips 1t from q 10.

9th inst, to ask ii there is any truth in it.
Let Generals Beauregard and Early, who
have the entire charge of all the Company g

ent but all whose faith in the Company has
been disturbed by this and similar calum-
NOUS paragraphs. Read the exact language
OF Generals Beauregard and Early in the
following statement, to which their naI1es
are signed:
The charges, insinuationa, and inuendoes
contained in said publication are false in
every respect, so far as they affect the fair
ness of the drawings Of the Louisiana Lot
terry, or the integrity OF the acts of the lot
terry Company. When the undersigned had
charge only of the seini-annual drawings
they counted the tubes containing the num-
beers previous to each of those drawings to
be certain that all were put in the wheel.
Since they have had charge Of the monthly
drawings also, the wheel has been under their
exclusive control, and after each drawing
they have restored all the drawn numbers
to the wheel, locked it, and sealed 1t in such
o manner as to render it impossible for the
numbers to be reached or interfered with
without their knowledge. They have thus
been always certain that all the numbers
were in the wheel at each drawing, and they
alone are responsible for the integrity of the
drawings.
The intimat1on that persons have been
paid to allow their names to be published
us the winners OF prizes in this Lottery is
also false and without the slightest founda-
ton In fact. Millions OF dollars have been
paid out by the Company in prizes through
the banks and express agencies, us can be
ascertained from the bank officers in New Or

from the winners of the prizes whose names

Development of the TrOtter.

When Flora Temple trotted mile
In 2:18.3-4, remarks the New York
Herald, the achievement astonished
the world. This was in 1859. The
mare was looked upon as q wonder
Few then believed that mile would
ever be trotted in less than 2:15. 1t
took eight years to lower the record
of 1850, and down to 1874 the best
time made was PIT. In that year the
record was reduced below 2:15 by
Goldsmith Maid, who scored mile
in 2:14.
1t was then generally thought that
the limit of q trotter's speed would
prove to be 2:1O. But Maud s. had
not yet made her appearance, nor had
Jay -Eye-See. The former brought the
record down to within quarter of a
second of 2:1O in 1881, and three
years later the latter reduced it to
2:1O. The prophets of the turf made
bold to predict a mile in 200, and
even 2:OS. Maud 8. has rapidly low
cred the former figure. and now Presi-
dent Edwards of the Cleveland asso-
citation, expresses his conviction that
the wonderful mare can trot in POT
under favorable circumstances, and
Mr.. Bonner declares that it will not
surprise him to see the prediction veri-

Rearing Calves,

A calf may be reared to make an ex-
cellent COW in the following way:
When it Is weaned-and the sooner
this is done the better-and it is taught
to drink milk. it may be fed upon
skinned milk warmed to the heat of
the new milk and fed in sufficient guam
tity and no more. It is overlooking
which does most harm to calves. The
first month three quarts of milk three
times day is enough, the second
month four quarts may be given at n
meal, and the third month six quarts
twice q day with q drink of water at
noon. After two months it should he
taught to eat little mixed bran and

increased until it gets pint day when

tinued up to or 6 months if it is con-
venient, and lately it may be mixed
with an equal part of warm water. A

Keep None But Good Horses.

One reason why SO many of our farm
ers have found farming less profitable
than it ought to be, is because they
have kept SO much poor stock. Even
where they have not attempted to make
stock direct source of income, but
have only kept enough to work the farm
and supply the wants of the family,
they have suffered loss by keeping those
| of too little value. In the way of
horses, every farmer expects to keep
enough to work the farm, draw its
products to market, haul back such
supplies as are needed and carry the
family when they leave the farm for
business, for pleasure, or in the dis
charge of social or religious duties.
Now, how common it is for farm
er to think that he can get along
with low priced, perhaps broken down
horses, at least for part of his sup
ply. His pride may lead him to keep
one pretty snowy span to drive
upon the road, while quite inferi-
or ones may pass muster as work
horses. This, we think, is o mistake.
No species of stock costs SO much for
keeping as horses, and it costs just as
much to keep poor as good horses, and
often more. A well built horse, with
perfect organs, will digest and assimilate
his food much better, and consequently,
keep in good condition on much less
feed than loose built, slab sided horse,
with weak digestive organs.
In a recent paper we suggested that
it might be good policy for farmers to
keep an extra team of breeding mares,
to help during the greatest rush of
work and raise pair of colts during
the more leisure season. In following
out such plan he should employ no
common scrub to sire his colts, but
employ thorough breds; a Percheron
Of Clydesdale, if he wants to breed
solid work horses; Cleveland Bays, or
some other good, active breed with
great powers of endurance, if he wishes
to breed roadsters. In this way he is
constantly improving his herd, and
when he hires men to work his teams
they can earn their money.
Another great advantage in keeping
none but good horses is, they are
always salable.

A Daily DefnlcatiOn.

The Hon. John Kelly, the head and
front of Tammany Hall, man OF
strict integrity, an indefatigable work
er, early at his Office, late to leave, so
burdened with business that regular
meals were seldom known by him, with
mind in constant tension and energies
steadily trained, finally broke down!
The wonder is that he did not soon
er give way. An honest man in all
things else, he acted unfairly with his
physical resources. Hewas ever draw
ing upon this bank without ever de-
posting a collateral. The account
overdrawn, the bank suspends and
both are now in the hands of medical
receivers.
1t is not work that kills men. 1t is
irregularity of habits and mental wor-
ry. No man in good health frets at
his work. Bye and bye when the
bank of vigor suspends, these men will
wonder how it all happened, and they
will keep wondering until their dying
day unless, perchance, some candid
physician or interested friend will
point out to them how by irregulari-
ty, by excessive mental effort, by con-
stant worry and fret, by plunging in
deeper than they had a right to go,
they have produced that loss of ner
vous energy which almost invariably
expresses itselfin deranged condition
of the kidneys and liver, for it is we'll
known fact That the poison which the
kidneys and liver should remove from
the blood, if left therein, soon knocks
the life out of the strongest and most
vigorous man or woman. Daily build
ing up of these vital organs by so Won
derful and highly reputed specific as
Warmers safe cure is the only guaran-
tee that our business men can have
that their strength will be equal to the
labors daily put upon them.
Mr.. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia we
learn, indicating, as we have said. a
breakdown of nerve force. His case
should be a warning to others who ,pur-
suing like course, will certainly reach
like result.-The Sunday Herald.

A Barrel Hammock.

The season for hammocks is here,

rope, double each piece in the middle,
and commencing two yards OF so from
the end, weave it over and under each
stave about three inches from the end
of each one, which will bring the rope
crossed between each; do both sides
the same and your hammock is COM

fastened up higher than the other. AT
first this may not seem firm, but when
there is any weight on it, the rope be,
