A Preventive tor Group

We want every mother to know that
Group can be prevented. True Group
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is h~oarseuess; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse.
ness from the start. After that a pecu.
liar rough cough is developed, which is
followed by the Group. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse; a
few doses OF Chamberlain's Cough Rem.
eSy will prevent the attack. Even after
a rough cough has appeared the disease
may be prevented BY using this remedy as
directed. 1t has never been known to

Old, B~Rldhsaded and Married, He TOOK
to Writing Love Letters.
Cupid and Ariel-or it may be Asmodeus
sud Puck-at any rate, some sportive
spirits have been playing funny pranks in
Solano county, Cal, and their agent is
the aged W. w. Smith, a wealthy fruit
grower, with a nice family. The develop
ment was quite in theepic wsy-the climax
first, in the shape OF a suit for damages by
an Atlanta lady, and hen the gradual dis
covery Of the facts leading to it.
w. W. Smith lives at Vaca Valley and
gets his mail there, but years ago he rented
a lock box in Elmira, ten miles away, and
told the postmaster to also drop into that
box any mail for his friend, A. S. Thorn
ton. First the postmaster and then many
Others noticed that no one got letters in
that box but Mr.. Thornton, but Smith al
ways took them out. They wondered at
his driving ten miles every week or so just
TO accommodate Thornton, and quietly
discussed the question, who is Thorn
toni" No one there knew him, but they
did not ask Smith; first, because that Is
not California etiquette, and second, DO
cause Smith is prone to short answers.
The postmaster also noticed that the let
tiers were all in female chirography and
came not only from various cities in Cali
~fornia, but from the east, and hat one ar
rived weekly from Atlanta. The post
master wondered, but asked no questions,
as aforesaid. One day a letter reached At
torney G. w. Howe of San Francisco
from Miss Matte l.. Billah OF Atlanta
directing him to bring suit against Mr.. w.
w. Smith of Naca Valley for $4,000 dam
ages. Next it was revealed that a package
of letters to Thornton" had somehow
reached Smiths house and fallen into his
wife's hands, and that the atmosphere in
that region had become torrid. And last
of all a dispatch from Atlanta said that
Mr.. Billah OF that city, "a suah hot an a
man OF honab, sab" had departed for Cali
fornia to inco~ntinently slay the man who
bad perpetrated n cruel fraud upon his
sister.

To Extend the II. q. W. Road.

SAN Francisco, Dec. l9.-The state
ment is again made here that the Rio
Gande Western is contemplating the ex-
tension of its line to this coast and that
estimates are being made as to a test in

legislature of that state has offered a sub
sidy to the line that will traverse the state.
The entrance into California over the

very liberal views" as he described him
self, had been conducting a thoroughly
tropical courtship. He had written scores
of love letters that were simply gorgeous.
He had dropped into poetry and conducted
his suit with a skill that any youth might
envy. To Miss Billah he described him
self as a lonely widower, whose two chill
dren had been snatched away-a retired
scholar fond Of his books, his fruits aud
his flowers" He sent her some flowers Of
his own rearing, especially a heliotrope.
and with a touching poem beginning thus;
Go, heliotrope;
Meet my sweet and tell
How, like a harbinger OF hope,
You come To dwell
Near her and pray to rest
Upon her breast.
But he made one bad break. He sent
Miss Billah a beautiful colored pamphlet
on the Resources of Solano,'' and in 1t
she could find no such name as "a. ).
Thornton" but she found a large picture of
Smiths place-and it is a beautiful place
with an elaborate description, and from
both recognized the spot described in the
Thornton" letters. She wrote to an ofh-
Cial of the county, learned that she had
been deceived and was Frustrated with
grief, for it would seem that she had really
become attached to the old deceiver, 80
able were his letters. One account says
that he actually went to Atlanta to see
her, but this is denied.
Publication of the letters excited general
astonishmeut. The ladies Of Vaca Valley
declare that Smith simply could not haye
written them, and have o~verhauled all the
old standard works to find their origin,
but so far without success. His first de
scription OF himself was as a fairly good
looking man, but later he admitted that he
was bald and weakly. But he had money
oh, yes! loads of it-and as a matter OF
fact, he really has. And it would seem
that he has genius, too. for he can write
the most ardent letters Of love without
much gush or Baby Bunting business
and few old fellows can do that. So al
California awaits the outcome of the suit
with great interest.

Providence. and wonderful to believe. occurred
at the home of MIR. Charles Potts, assistant
treasurer of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
corner Fourth and Canal streets. Thursday
morning. Mr. Potts little girl. eighteen
months old. while playing in the third-story
of his house, came to window overlooking
the back yard. and losing her balance fell
headlong to the hard ground below. The col
ored cook. who saw the little fodder fall. and
who was almost paralyzed with the horror
of the accident ran TO her assistance, and.was
astonished 10 see the child scramblng to her
feet. Beyond the shock incident to any sud
dom fall and trihing injury 70 one fat little
knee there was no apparent harm sustained
by the baby. The tear that existed IN the
minds of It's parents that the child had been
probably injured internally has been dis

Division or CLAY WARD.
The Subject Discussed by the Special
Committee.

Tho special committee Of the City Council
appointed 10 consider the resolution passed
by the Council recently, which provides for
an equal division Of Clay Ward, held their
FIRST session last evening. Chairman II. l..
Carter and Messrs. FERGUSON Gum and
Grimes were present The only absentee was
Alderman Turpn.
Once before the meeting Of the committee
was called, but at that time only three mem
bers OF the committee we're present, and it
was considered advisable 10 pOstpone action
until better attendance could be attained.
The meeting last evening was rather infor-
maj 10 obtain an expression Of opinion among
the several members.
Mr. FERGUSON thought that possibly he
would be IN favor of division Of the ward
but he wanted 10 know first what really
should be done. lie had heard the opinion
expressed that a division of the ward would
bring about doubling Of the appropriation
for that territory. lie also wanted some in
formation whether or not the proposed dvis-
ion of the ward meant that one Of the new
wards could be enlarged by parts OF other
wards.
Chairman Carter explained that the resolu-
ton only provided for Il division of Clay ward
IN equal parts but not for merging OF parts
of other wards He thought that the first
question for the committee TO decide was
whether % was advisable TO recommend a
tlN4niDn OF lif Wtli. IT AIsA AfA'NN4DH was
decided in the affirmative. the next TO consider
would be the dividing line. Clay ward al
present represented about A.s00 registered
voters. or little over One-fOurth Of all the
registered voters IN the city. rms fact was
IN favor of a division, for the charter of the
city. which provided Tor different wards.
stated That the several wards should as nearly
as possible contain an equal number OF voters.
Mr. Guun thought if the committee should
decide i'm favor OF a division Cary street would
form the desirable dividing line.
Mr. Carter pointed out that the Fifth pre-
cinct of the ward. recently established, which
went from the centre line Of Belyidere street
e. the centre line of Cherry street, comprising
four squares south of Cary and three squares
north of IT, contained 9iG registered voters.
and was ono of the most thlcEy populated
localities IN this city He thought therefore
that Main street would be the proper boun-
Diary line.
Mr. Grimes took the ground that the CON-
mttee should first gather all possible informa-
ton i'm the matter before the question was
decided whether the division should be
recommended or not.
Mr. Carter thought the proper way TO get
this information would be 70 request the City
CLERK 10 communicate with the registrars IN
that ward 10 obtain the exact number Of reg
stered voters Then map should he pro-
yided by tine City Engineer showing the pro-
posed division INTO equal parts
On motion of Mr.. Grimes Charnan carter
was requested 10 secure all tins information
and submit it 10 the committee at the next
meeting.
II was also suggested that if division OF
the ward should be considered advisable 1t
should 90 into effect by July ], 1872.
