falsely asserts, but an arrangement of
a great political party which refuses
to put forward their best and purest
men as candidates. That they have
moral men, intellectual men, patriotic
men, we freely admit. We can bear
testimony that Judge Thurman is an
honest, clean man morally, who should
be at the head of the ticket instead of
the tail.
In conclusion we wish to assure
our Phillipsburg contemporary that
it will require a good deal of time
and labor on its part to convince the
public that the honest criticism of a
Democratic candidate of unsavorvl
record, is treason to the Government.
If our neighbor does not want these
unpleasant historical events brought
up it must cease its savage denuncia-
tions of those who do not Worship it's
political idol. The HERALDs criti-
cism is not of the President as such
but of the Democratic party and It's
candidate.

Cure is the remedy. Used successfully for

For some months past have been using
the Great Western Cholera Cure to prevent
Cholera in my hogs and with the most sat

with this terrible scOurge, my hogs have
been entirely free from it, and | believe a
liberal use of this valuable medicine will
entirely prevent cholera.

magical. Ihey commenced thtpiOtty VI OitOe'
No more died, and in two or three days

SHEPHERDsroWY SUMMARY.

From the Register:
We learn that Mr.. NJ. NJ Moler, of the
neighborhood of Engle's Switch has pur
chased of Mrs E. B. Hooff her valuable
farm "Araby," situated p miles from Alex
andria, Va, and miles from Washington
The farm is said to be very finely located
Mr. Henry Byers, a former well-knOwn
and somewhat accentric citizen of Shop
herdstown, died at the County Aims House
several weeks ago He had spent a number
of years in that institution, and his remains
were inferred in the burying-ground attach
ed to it. He was about years old.
Mr. John II. Kloth, who has lived for
many years about a half mile west of Shep-
herdstown, met with a sad death between 8
and 10 o'clock Wednesday night The old
gentleman has been very feeble for a long
time, and unable to help himself Wednes-
day night, while he was alone, by some
means his chair caught on fire, and was COM
pletely destroyed, part of a bed being also
burned and a big hole made in the floor.
Mr.. Kloth had evidently fallen right into the
fire, for his legs and body were burned to a
crisp. The fire was discovered and put out
by Mrs. Hunt, with whom he lived, but he
was dead when she discovered him. Mr..
Kloth was German, and was over eighty
years of age.
