Glddness Comes

With . better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts--gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that 90 many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to q constipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but If in need of q laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
oedand gives most general satisfaction.

Free Oranges.

1t is question among jude ious adver
tsers as to which are the best methods
to attract the attention of the people
and induce them to buy, but it is gener-
ally conceded that of all methods that
have been adopted in this section of the
country, newspaper advertising is the
best. Next to that, the notOrity or
prominence one gains by selling goods
below cost and virtually making a
present to the purchaser, is the best
way to attract the attention of the peo-
Pile.
1t is not notoriety that | desire, but
business and with that end in view and
for one week only commencing today,
Thursday, Feb'y. 20th, and ending
Wednesday. Feb'y. 10Th, | will give a
dozen oranges to every cash customer,
who expends with me the amount of
one or more dollars. | reserve the right
to exclude the sale of sugar, AS the
price at which we are selling it is below
cost viz: 20 lbs, for one dollar. This
is not a catch scheme, merely Il little bit
of advertising for the sake of making
new acquaintance and renewing old

Benz. L. Flanders VS.. Orlando Cobb.
Rescript
An amendment of a declaration which
changes the nature of the action from
assumpsit to tort is unauthorized.
The case of Rand V. Webber, GA
Maine, l01, was never intended to
authorize amendments to the event of
allowing the form or nature Of the action
to be changed.
Plaintiff and defendant traded horses,
and defendant turned out a negotiable
promissory note as boot between horses,
signed by IA third party, aud defendant
Endorsed the same in blank. The note
WAS not paid when it became due, nor
was the defendant seasonably notified so
as to hold him as an indorser, and the
plaintiff claimed to recover against the
defendant in an action of deceit for falSe
representations made by defendant in
reference to the financial responsibility
of the maker of the note.
Held, That the evidence was such as
to warrant the Court in coming to the
conclusion that plaintiff was not deceived
by the alleged misrepresentation and
that the action could not be maintained.
Exceptions sustained. Judgment for
defendant.

Our New Postmaster.

Samuel w. Gould, Esq, was appointed
postmaster by President Cleveland,
Monday last, after a very lively con-
test between several applicants for the
desirable position, involving the for
warding of numerous petitions and the
expense of sundry trips to Washington,
by friends of the principal applicants, and
aj"urney to that "Mecca" by the success
ful one.
Samuel w, Gould, Esq, the appointee,
is we'll know lawyer in this town,
member of the firm, Danforth & Gould,
is man interested in affairs of the town
in practical manner, who puts out his
dollars aud puts in his time in enter
prises that give employment to labor
and increase the taxable property of the
town. He is a man of superior business
and clerical qualifications, who will look
after the running of the Office closely
and intelligently, we believe, for the
good of all its patrons. We hope AND
trust he will give these patrons the
benefit of the experience of the present
assistants, who have served efficiently
and aeceptably for s years.
We predict that postmaster Gould will
make successful and popular postmas-
fer.
