that we are to have another base ball

the game may expect a good game
and the first nine need not be surpris-
ed to get challenge at any time from
the new club.-Democrdt.
Some of our young men have order
ed bicycles, and it is rumored that q
bicycle club is to be organized.--Cou-

Ayers Ague Cure is the only rem
edy known which is certain to cure
Fever and Ague permanently, by ex
polling the malarial poison which pro
duces the disease. 1t does this surely
and leaves no i'll effects upon the sys

pressing and discouraging as the peri
odical return of the alternate chills
fever, and sweating, peculiar to thil
disease.
