Taylor's Preparation For Bucna Vista.

Taylor's Preparation For Bucna Vista.
refer to Zachary Taylor, whose rec
ord in the Mexican war was something
phenomenal. He fought the battle of
Buena Vista with only 5000 men, al
though he was attacked by $4,000 men
under the leadership of Santa Anna, vino
was the greatest military leader the
Mexicans have ever known. Santa Anna
went to the battle of Buena Vista with
the avowed purpose of DISCRIMINATING the
entire army of the United States, and
there was no doubt in the mind Of Santa
Anna that this great feat could be accom-
plished with comparative ease. General
Taylor, with his 5000 men, prepared for
the unequal contest, and not only de-
Tended himself successfully, but won ii
substantial victory from his aggressive
antagonists and drove them from the
battlefield of Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought
and the Mexican war concluded General
Taylor was criticised for having made
no preparations for the retreat of his
army in the event of defeat. General
Taylor promptly replied: II made every
preparation necessary for the battle of
Buena Vista. | wrote my will, and so
did nearly every man in my army. If
we had not won that battle. we would
have needed no lines of retreat. 1t was,
from our standpoint, victory or annihila-
ton. The only preparation necessary
for the contingency of defeat at Buena
Vista was that we should write our
wills. "--Boston Transcript.

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

e" Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, a prominent and highly
respected citizen, apparently in the best Of
health and spirits, was reading newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell TO the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious. The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned =
physician. But it was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause. "--HoLbrOok Herald
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction Of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have symptom Of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to it. Delay is always dangerous,
and in heart disease too often fatal Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortness Of
breath, huttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
