FOUND AT LAsT.-A positive preventive
of Cholera in hogs and fowls, and cure, if
used in time The Great Western Cholera
Cure is the remedy. Used successfully for
years in the West. Introduced East, now,
for the first time.
Lone Jack Tobacco is known throughout
the world, and so is its distinguished invent
or and proprietor, John w. Carroll, Esq.
See what he says:
For some months past | have been using
the Great Western Cholera Cure to prevent
Cholera in my hogs and with the most sat
isfactory results. While others in the Vi
cinity of my plantation have been troubled
with this terrible scourge, myt hogs have
been entirely free from it, and.V believe a
liberal use of this valuable medicine will
entirely prevent cholera.
Mr.. Elias O. Payne, of Adams Bros. d
Payne, says; Il have very fine chickens
and think good deal of them. Not long
ago, very much to my regret, the cholera
broke out among them. All were droOpy,
others very sick, and some died, and |
thought | would lose all of them. | was
advised to use the Great Western Cholera
Cure, and did so. The effect was almost
magical. They commenced improving at once.
No more died, and in two or three days
they were all well and thrifty, and not one
has been sick since. You are authorized to
give it my most enthusiastic endorsement
and | recommend its use both as proven
tive and cure of Chicken Cholera"

ner-a handsome gold-fringed silk, bearing
ife-size and life-like portraits Of Cleveland and
Thurman, with the word L" Victory inscribed
thereon,-was to have been presented by F. w.
Brown, Esq, but that gentleman being una

made the boys feel that one could chase
thousand and two put ten thousand to flight
The Chairman accepted the beautiful standard
in well-chosen words and promised that it
should be borne to victory. Mr. w. S. Ken
bricks q stalwart yeoman, straight as an ar

A letter from China announces the death,
at Soochow, on the 2Srd of August, of Mary
Adams Anderson, a sweet-little grand
daughter of Mr.. Jno A. Thompson, of this

Excellent progress, considering the fire.
queut interruptions by inclemeut weather,
has been made i'm the builing of the Catho.
lie Church in this place. We learn from
Rev. Father Wilson, who has supervision
of this work and to whose energy credit is
due, the conservation and occupancy of the
church is expected by Christmas. The edi-
fee is a neat one, and when finished will
reflect credit upon architect and builders.
We understood Father Wilson to say that
$1,000 had already been paid and that the
other thousand and balance will be due at
completion Of works and he hoped the
friends of the movement would bear this
financial view of the matter in mind.
