The Wonderful Hcrring.-Professo

The Wonderful Herring. Professor
Rlckmore, in n recent New York lecture, gave
q couple of hours 10 the subject Of shad and
herring, and here are some of his Interesting
facts Each pair OF herring, lie said, would
ordinarily reproduce family of 10, 600 little
herring, and so fecund are they that the an
uual catch of 3,OuO, 900, 600 doesn't preeepti-
hly diminish the supply. Were the nets used
IN catching herring by the English fishermen
stretched out in a straight line they would
reach across the Atlantic Ocean three times.
and these nets would represent but about one
half of those used IN this one industry. No
one has yet been able to fud ont where the
herring breeds, bat his cousins, the shad and
Alswite, are home bodies, and they seek always
the rivers where they FIRST came into being
when they want to marry, settle down, and
fear family.

4 Genuine Blizzard.

During the past few days people OF
this territory have been treated TO tele-
graphic accounts of blizzard which
has extended over nearly Ill the eastern
states and have congratulated them
selves that they lived in country Of
sunshine where Billiards are unknown.
Their congratulations, however. were
premature a. about noon on Friday =
gentle south wind set which gradually
increased in force until by Saturday
night it amounted to gale and went
whistling through crevices and cracks IL
q genuine down easter style. About
midnight on Saturday snow commenced
to fall and continued until | o'clock on
Sunday afternoon when the clouds be-
gan to break and the fall of snow ceased
until it was renewed again last night,
there being total fall of eight or ten
inches. The weather to-day has been
warm and pleasant and the snow is
rapidly disappearing. This is said by
old timers to be the earliest snowfall
ever experienced in Prescott.

To Err 10 human.

But it is positively inexcusable TO ad-
minister or take narcotics or potent sed-
ati.es to relieve intranquility of the
nerves, the easily discoverabls cause of
which Is indigestion. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the remedy indicated
when the nervous system is weak, and
consequently super-sensitive and un-
tranquil. Braced and quoted by this
superlAtive tonic, the system obtains
needful repose at night, dyspeptic
qualms cease to disturb the stomach,
and mental inquietude disappears. The
habit of the body becomes regular, the
liver and kidneys are BEAUTIFULLY stimu-
lated, and bodily or mental exertion
ceases to be . wearisome and difficult
task. Neuralgia, rheumatism and ma.
lArial disorders, and kidney troubles, are
entirely eradicated by this matchless in-
vigorant and regulator.
