given by Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Sullivan,
at their residence on Tuesday evening,
the 18th inst, in honor of that popu-
lar young gentleman, Mr.. L. I. Bur

son, and eclipsed in many ways any
thing of the kind which has happened
in this community of ours for some
time. Everything was as it should
have been-this is saying much-con-
sequently the large crowd of ladies and
gentlemen present had most royal
time, and will remember for some time
to come the pleasure had on this occa.
sion. Dancing was INDUCED in until
the "wee sma hours" at which time
all babe adieu to the host and hostess,
promising to meier forget their hospi-
tality and earnestly wishing for them
in future lot of contentment and JOY.
Music was furnished by the Gossens
band, the best in our city-and right
here let US say that it was the best we
have heard in many long day, and

A Mystery.

How the human system ever RECEIVERS
from the bad effects Of tie nauseous med
icincs often literally poured into it for
the snppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver
complaint, coli 'ipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is mystery. The mis-
chief done by bad medicines is scarcely
less than that cansed by disease. If they
who are weak, billions, dyspeptic, consti-
patel or rheumatic, would oftener he gni-
ded by the experience of invalids. who
have thoroughly tested Hostettcr's sto-
mach Bitters, they would in every in
stance obtain the speediest aid derivable
from rational meditation. This medicine
is searching and at the same time tho
roughly safe remedy, derived frnn vege-
table sources, and possessing, in conse-
quence of its basis ofpnre spirits, proper
ties as a medicinal stimnlant not to be
found in the fiery local bitters and stim.l,
lants often resortcd to by the debllltated,
dyspeptic and languia
