Children's ailments, such as "constipa-
tion,' disordered bowels, worms and
many other diseases so prevalent, can be
successfully treated by the occasional use
of Walkers Vinegar Bitters. 1t is as
safe and certain in its action upon children
as upon adults. 1t acts on the liver and
cleanses the blood.

The Hanoverian Family will give a
concert at Holcombe Hall, to morrow
Thursday evening. Reserved seat tick
cts are on sale at Cocbran's Drug Store.
This Family gave two concerts here last
year, and they were first class. The play
ing of Master Lonnie Hatch, on the cor
net, is alone worth the price of admission.
The bell ringing, saxaphone playing, etc,
give great variety to the entertainment
and prevent the sameness that is so often
wearisome.

an aristocrat in appearance as much as in
character, but one of the quickest and
cleverest society woman, and full of the

hibit the "Jeffersonian simplicity so
much talked about, and so little seen.

Some mathematicians are puzzling
their brains over this apparent paradox /:
A farmer had sixty eggs, thirty of tho
largest of which he placed in one basket
and sold at the rate of two for cent,
while the remaining thirty he sold from
another basket, at the rate of three for a
cent. From tie first basketful he realized
fifteen cents and from the second ten
cents, total of twenty-five cents. When
he next went to market he thought that
as three eggs for cent and two eggs for
a cent were the same as five eggs for
two cents, ho would not bother to sort
his eggs over, but would put the sixty
in one basket and would sell them at the
rate of five for two cents, as he assumed
he had done on the previous trip. He
did SO, but found when he came to count
up his receipts that he had realized only
twenty TO mr. cents from them, instead OF
twenty-five cents, the amount received
when he sorted them over and sold them
two for cent, and three for cent.
The question that puzzles the farmer
and is puzzling the mathematicians il
what became OF the missing penny

Last Saturday night, at the corner of
Church and George streets, near one of
the concert saloons in the "Bowery," a
row took place that aroused the citizens
OF that vicinity and added additional ter
ror to the scenes enacted in that neigh

poor, miserable man who was so intoxi-
Gated as to be hardly able to stand up was
numerically beaten by a man, who in
turn was badly whipped by another,
aed two or more suits of broad
cloth were damage by the melee. These
fights are a certainty every Saturday
evening in this neighborhood, and the at
tention of Council is called thereto.

AT the meeting of the Town Commit
tee of West Amwell township, at Mount
Airy. last Monday. the sheep killed by
dogs in that township for the past year,
were paid only in the proportion Of 40
cents to the dollar, that exhausting the
dog tax. This is serious drawback to
sheep raising there, as the average pay
has been about the same for some years.
Unless the dog tax is made to cover the
loss sustained by sheepmeus they must
abandon the sheep business, which other
wise would be profitable branch of
farming.

We clip the following notice from the
NesOtoson (Pa.) Enterprise. The cdr"
d. G. Frost referred to is ''Dave" Frost,
the temperance lecturer, who created q
sensation in Lambertyille two or three
years since:
ssDr. d. G. Frost, with party of
Kickapoo Indians, from the central part
of Indian Territory, has been holding
forth at Newtown Hall every evening
during the week, lecturing upon the GUS
toms of the Red Man and introducing n
patent medicine manufactured by New
York firm. Frank A. Comfy, the humor-
GUS vocalist and mimic, together with
Prof. Lenoir, ventriloquist and magi-
clan, have been assisting the DR.. in the
way of entertainment, aud are nightly
amusing and entertaining large audi
cnces. The hall is always well filled, al
though small admission is charged on
stated evenings. The Indians assist in
their war dances, marriage ceremonies,
&c. They are making the hall their head
quarters during their stay, eating and
sleeping in the Kitchen under the stage
The company will remain here during
next week, and will more than likely
present some added attractions.

Come aud see us.
Judge Brewer, OF Kansas, has decided
that the State has no right to prohibit
the manufacture of spirituous ormalt Ii
quors, unless it provides compensation
for all men whose business is thus injured
or destroyed.
The Supreme Court ofsWisconsin, has
decided that any distiller or brewer may
establish an agent in any town-evcn
one whose authorities grant no licenses
under any consideration, and that such
agent may receive and fill any orders for
beer or whiskey by the key or bottle,
thus defying all local, state and municipal
laws.
Judge Hayes, of Iowa, decides that un-
der a piohibitory law he who buys is
equally guilty with him who sel', thus
rendering it next to impossible that any
direct evidence against violator of the
law be obtained.
If these decisions stand, there is but
one thing left for temperance men and
that is National Prohibition. For sup
pose the Local Option law now before the
New Jersey Legislature becomes law
and tho people of Hunterdon county de-
eide against the sale, what win hinder
the brewers of Newark or Jersey
City from establishing ''agcncies' in any
of our towns and through them supply
ing all customers with either small or
large quantities?
Suppose, again, that New jersey as q
whole adopts prohibition, what will him
der the dealers from any other state sup
plying the "wants" of any of our citizens ?
Where is the end of this +? Where can the
line be drawn The leader of western
mob, which had taken from the Jail man
guilty of notorious crime, remarked,
1--WE must draw the line somewhere, aud
propose VIC draw it about this fellows
neck So it seems to me the only place
to draw our line is about the neck of the
whole accursed traffic by absolute Ma
tional Prohibition.
