In the Bronx Valley.

French suburbans in the Bronx val
ley delight in holding old world fash
ions, and the peasant blue is still
seen among them, while doubtless
there are sabots in every house, called
into use on wash day and at other low
barometer seasons. It is a pretty
habit of these simple aliens to keep
English rabbits, and a family of
French people at Woodlawn travel
over all the country round digging
greens for these creatures. The rab-
bits, by the way, are kept not as pets,
but for food.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be much
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing it's work. The
proprietors have SO much faith in its
curative powers that, they offer 500 for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for

Primitive Modes of Dealing with Criminals

Sir: The calling out OF the State militia for the
suppression OF riots arising from labor troubles Is
always attended with great deal OF dissatisfac-
ton among the troops. disturbing discussions among
the people and enormous expense to the state

called out at any time to oppose their own Fellow
workmen. or even their intimate personal friends.
As a rule they can be relied upon to perform their
duty but II would be only human nature for them
to revolt. in mind. at least. against taking extreme
measures that might involve the firing upon friends
with whom at heart they are in full sympathy.
The militia OF this State consists Of 12,Slo off,
