Democrat an epic poem on "The Super.
anuated Horse" from which we quote
as follows:
"Ah! how ! suppress a sigh.
AS tremblingly he Jaded by,
with a eve neck, a hammer head,
A knife blade back, all sore and red,
One eye out the other bind,
He racks before, he trots behind,
While all his legs c~onvolving wind,
And all his feet the gravel grinds;
How slow he went, how hard he groaned,
Gaunt, stringhalt, spawned, twitter boned,
HIS tail was short, his name was thin,
His lips hung loose, his teeth did grin,
His hoofs were fiat, his shanks were SLIM,
No eastern mail since we issued our
last paper.
An outline of Mr.. Nelson's lecture
on education, mention of which has
already been made in this sketch, occu
pies nearly three columns.

Next week We will take up the Demo-
crat issued February 5, 1862, which will
about correspond, or rather antedate
the Herald and Tribune As years, and
give our readers some extracts from
that number.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery, the first to put up seeds in
little packages; the first to manufacture
cut nails. Now they are out with a
method of curing dyspepsia by resting
the stomach. Their remedy is known
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t
supplies food in an artificially digested
form and at the same time aids the d.
gestion of other foods in the stomach.
10 other words, by the use of the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial, a dyspeptic vir-

stomach until is is restored to its nat
ural strength and vigor. A single 10

relief. Get a bottle from your druggist

WELLsvulLE, ". Y, Feb. 2.-Mark Ellis
worth, 20 years old, and his wife, of Gene
see, Pa. ten miles south Of this place,
were i7iled at Coudersport yesterday,
charged with drowning their 2-months'
old bnhy, Mrs. Ellsworth told a sensa-
tional story Sunday to the effect that
strangers had kidnapped the child. This
was not believed and an investigation re-
vealed tracks in the snow from the house
to Cryder creek, whore a hole in the ice
was found and the child's body discovered.
When charged with the crime Mrs. ELS
worth confessed and implicated her
father, mother and husband. The au-
thorities do not believe the story as to her
parents and they were not arrested. The
family are in destitute circumstances and
the mother says that cold and hunger
drove her to the awful deed.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be q Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free but
sometimes a man so overiows with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
1t is upon this principal that "a resident OF
Kalamazoo, Mich, desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure them
Of any form of nervous debility relieves
them Of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As it
costs nothing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply Interested
in a remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live IN existence of untold
misery. As the remedy In question was the
result of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to write for
such a remedy at once. A request to II. O..
Olds, BOX l712, kalamazoo, Mich, stating
that Won are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving til trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came from,
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr.. Olds can afford to
give away his discovery, there Is nc doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send to Mr.. Odds so that he may know
how you camo to write him. l2-28-7St

blyman Holdrum's bill, taxing express

another antitrust bill. 1t Is harsher in
terms han that presented a week ago, be-
ing a counterpart of the law now existing
in Georgia, which is severe in its terms

tions in restraint g. trade.
Senator Ross, Of Cape May, presented a
bill adopted by th3 convention Of repre-
sentatives from the different boroughs Of

listing borough laws, and provides for a
