G-In the I'd district Dr. Hebb, who is can
didate for Treasurer, and Mr.. NJ. W. Offutt, who
wants denomination for the Legislature, are
arrayed against Boss Isaac, who will likely want
a delegation either in his own interest or in the
interest of some other man that he can CONTROL
Mr.. Ofutt is well known in the district and DR..
Hebb is popular physician of large practice, and
together it is conceded that they make a pretty
strong team. 1t is said of Boss Isaac that he
once carried his district by the aid of colored
votes, and he may do this again.

the county authorities did not think he did, be-

would support the laws Of the State. If certain

AmputatiOn Of the Leg,

Abram Ellsworth, Of Port Even, Ulster County, N.

the whole Of his thigh-bone and the suffering
man looked forward, not without apparent reason /,
to death as his only delivery. The family physl-
clans refused TO amputate the limb asserting that
the operation would kill the patient on the spot.
DR.. Daoid KENNEDY, OF Rondout, N. Y, who was
consulted, held different opinion and amputated
the limO. The Doctor then administered freely
his great Blood Specific FAoRITE REMEDY to
AFFORD tone and strength to the system and pre-
vent the return OF the disease, and MIR. Ellsworth
remains to this day In the bloom OF health. This
gentleman's disease was the offspring OF foul
blood, and Kennedy's EAvoRITE REMEDY puri-

The Obipaman and His Coffin.


The idea of the Chinaman is that
when he dies he ought to be buried in
the trunk Of tree, and so it comes
about that all cofiins are designed with
a view to keep up the illusion. They
consist af four outside boards, and
are so fashioned together as TO look
very like tree at a little distance.
They are, of course, tremendously
heavy, but then that is considered an
excellent fault. If a son wishes to be
very polite to his father, or one friend
desires to obtain the goodwill Of an
other, he makes him a present Of a
good, solid, heavy coffin. The gift is
put in an honored place in the house,
ready for use; and is shown for the ad-
miration of any friend who may call.
The owner would rather go into his
coffin than part with it; and generally
speaking, though Chinaman may get
