against what is,good for them. They reason,
as our old friend Artemus Ward says, thusly.
"So-and-so has been taking medicine for a
long time and isn't any better" They only

cited to their establishment. in which Hos

complete change in the physical condition of
persons suffering from general i'll health.
This thorough stomachic, besides having the
decided recommendation Of the medical pro-

possessor Of qualities as an invigorant and
restorative of health not found anywhere
else. In bodily troubles caused by the liver,

In a certain part of Poland it is the
custom for people to marry when very
young. A Yankee who had visited
that country was giving his impress

kind.
There is one thing about that place
which actually astonished me. They
have very early marriages there. One
day took shelter from the rain in a
cottage. There found tiny girl
sobbing bitterly. at the same time
pushing backward and forward a
swinging cot, in which another child
was going off to sleep.

asked her.

that the expenses for January have

forth the number of days actually spent
in performance of his duties and show
ing where the duties were performed
and their character. 1t has also been
demanded of the poor directors that they
keep a daily record of their expenses.
Each director is also expected to show
in his sworn statement in detail for what
purpose he has expended the county
money in discharge of his duties and
when and where.
The controller has also called their at

A Verdict for the PIaintiT.

The case of George W. Kocher against
Thomas Birkbeck, which attracted much
attention in the courts last week, was
decided on Friday in favor of the
plaintiff. 1t appears that Mr.. Kocher,
some years ago, sold his interest in the
hardware firm of Schooner & Kocher to
Mr.. Birkbeck, receiving for it note for
$4,000. Payment on the note was after
wards refused on the ground of failure
of the consideration for which it was
given. Suit was then entered by Mr..
Kocher and resulted as above. The
case will very likely be taken to the
supreme court by Mr.. Birkbeck.
