How to Prevent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of Group
is common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily aud
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by o peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
| ear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by L. Stabler & Co,

Outbreak of Apaches Feared.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. Thursday
morning four dead bodies were found in
the valley in the neighborhood of Fort
Thomas, which had been abandoned
not long since. AS it is forty-fve miles

this fact precludes any presumption
that the band that killed Merrill and
his two children are the ones that MUIR

oNE OF the two Washington newspa-

ONE OF the two Washington newspa-
pers for some time past engaged in On
att ,mpt to decrease the demand for real
estate in Alexandria county, by de-
flaming that county, in order to increase
that for such property in the District OF
Columbia, attributes the recent defal-
cation of clerk in an insurance offlce IN
Washington, to the race tracks in the
county referred to. though by doing so
it makes itself ridiculous. Why, en-
ployees have robbed their employers
from the building of Washington to the
present time, and will continue to do SO
until the latter shall cease to rob other
people, and most of them have spent
what they stole on wine and women,
and in different sorts of gambling, for all
sorts abound there, and are INDUCED in
with impunity. Rogues never did, and
never will, wait for race tracks TO IN
duce them to steal, and nobody with
common sense believes they have ever
done or ever will do so.

Sioux CITY, Iowa, Dec. THE
mysterious John Miller, who was ar.
rested month ago on the charge of
robbing a depot near here, has created
a sensation by stating that his name is

case about to be tried by the German
courts. He has visited every race
track in search of evidence and has

THE FACT that the chairman of the
committee of the Virginia House OF
Delegates on the Chesapeake and its
Tributaries, to whom all bills relating to
the oyster question will be referred,
will be a delegate from the oyster
region, is by no means conducive to
the hope that any Improvement will be
made in the legislation on that ques-
ton during the present session of that
body, as the members of the legislature
from the oyster counties of the State
are dependent upon the oystermen for
their reelection, and the former, for
for one seasons profit, would ruin an
industry that if properly protected
would last them through all their
lives.

THE SPECTATOR SoLD.-As stated in
the GAZETTE of that day the newspa-
per plant of the Staunton Spectator was
sold at auction last Thursday to Col. r.
s. Turk, of that city. There were quite
a number of newspaper men present
but the plant did not bring as much as
those who offered it for sale had hoped
for.
The Spectator is one of the Oldest
journals in the State, having been pub
lished for seventy-two years. For the
period of thirty five years it has been
edited by Richard Mauzy. During this
long time, amidst vicissitudes of for
tune-in war and in peace, in adversely
and in prosperity, in sunshine and in
storm-this venerable editor has ably
labored in behalf of the rights, the lib
critics, and the best interests of the peo-
pie. Half of his life has thus been spent
in Staunton.
In his farewell editorial Mr.. Mauzy
says: As "Old Uncle Ned" had to "lay
down the shovel and the hoe"-the i'm
plements of his vocation = so we now
ley down those of our yocation-the
lead-pencil, the scissors, and mucilage
brush-to take a long desired and much
needed rest from the many years of in
cessant, exacting labor which our du-
ties devolved upon US, and for which
our remuneration has been the impair
ment of vision and the loss of fortune.
We fatter ourselves, however, with the
belief that we have-what we value
more than fortune-the esteem, respect,
confidence, aud goodwill of the COM
munity in which we have so long
"liyed and moved and had our being"
believing that "a good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches" which,
as our experience proves, 'rtaketh to
themselves wings and flee away"
And now brethren, though not of the
"Mystic tie," in bidding you all fare
well, we would say
"We met upon the Level
We part upon the Square"
