A Marietta Man
Has a Novel Experience With an Old
Acquaintance.

If ordinary mortals and Marietta
mortals, are no exception, get cinder
IN the eye, or if some disagreeab bic
wound or compound fracture of limb
falls TO their lot, every available means
is employed to dislodge the former and
the best known eXpeoients are used to
bind up or set the latter. If the aver
age citizen has corn or backache he
wants to get rid of it as long as it an
ANNOYANCE, but If it eases up little
and fiirts with him for short time the
anxiety to part with 1T diminishes in a
direct ratio to the flirting.
Take backache for instance. 1t is
generally little thing at first but If
not attended to in time, it invariably
leads to future trouble. This need not
happen to any citizen of Marietta. Be
guided by neigh boris advice. Read this:
Mr.. f. M. Longiey, No. FOG Putnam
Ave, says:-"I have had attacks of kid
ney complaint for long time but dur
ing the lasts years they have been
more severe and almost continual. l
need not go into all the particulars of
the symptoms. Every body who has
had disordered kidneys knows all about
it. What to do when suffering is of
more importance. As ! was long time
on the Police Force and am well ac-
quanted in Marietta my ADVICE may be
the means of helping lot of citizens
who are enduring misery not only when
engaged in their daily calling but even
during their intervals of rest. Doan's
Kidney Pills will cure them. got IA
box At w. Il. Styer's drug store and
from the results obtained | am safe in
saying there is no kideey remedy like
them. l only wish had known about
them sooner and they would have saved
me from pile of suffering"
What Doan's Kidney Pills have done
for others, they will do for you. They
are sold for so cents a box. II your
dealer does not keep them write us.

to lament that step! He had scarcely
entered the wood, when an American
r.heman singled him out; he fired, and
the ball, true to it's mark, pierced his
side. When the General received his
death-wound, chanced to be standing
at no great distance from him; | saw
he was struck, for the reins dropped
instantly from his hand, and he leaned
forward upon the pommel of his saddle;
and though l could not suffer myself
to imagine that there was any danger,
| hastened towards him, but arrived
too late. His horse making a move
ment forward, he lost his seat, and,
but for the Intervention of his aide-de-
campe's arm, must have fallen to the
ground. AS it was, we could only lay
him at length upon the grass, for his
limbs could no longer perform their
otfice-it was but too manifest that his
race Was run.
No language can convey any ade-
quate idea of the sensation which this
melancholy event produced in the hos
oms OF all who were aware oft. 1t may
with truth be asserted, that general,
young in command, has rarely obtained
the confidence Of his troops in the de-
gree in which General Ross had OBJ
tanned it, or held out more fattering
assurances, that he would continue to
possess and to deserve it to the last.
AS a colonel of a regiment, a general
ofa brigade in Lord Wellington's army,
his name had long stood high; and the
brilliant success which attended his
operations against Washington. salts
fed his own soldiers, at least, that his
fame was not unmerited. 1t has been
said, that in conducting the inroad last
alluded to, he exhibited more of hesi-
tation and diffidence in himself than
belongs to really great mind. Per-
haps he might hesitate little; perhaps
he did lose an hour or two in consider
ing, whether, with mere handful of
men, it would be advisable to march
upon the capital of great nation,
more especially as he could not but
feel, that little or no permanent advan-
from success. But this praise, at least,
has never been denied him; that when
once his mind came to be made up, no
man ever pursued his object more
steadily, or with greater vigor. In
the present course of operations, this
was conspicuously the case. He was
in the act Of pushing on, cautiously in
deed, but with all the celebrity of the
school in which he had been trained,
when through the absence of few able
supporters, he was led to throw his
valuable life away. Peace to his ashes!
\ Drawer and better mai the British
army never produced; nor has it lost
an officer of brighter promise or higher
character.
His aide-de-campe, Captain Nc
Dougal, having seen the General laid
by the road side, left him to the care
of Admiral Cockburn, and gallopped
back for assistance. For myself, my
duty called me elsewhere The firing
still went on in front; it was kept up
by my own men, and could not de-
sert them; so too quilted the mourn
full group, and once more plunged into
action.

which was written and published early in

CHECKING THE WITNESS.

The young lawyer was determined
that if vigilance could accomplish any
thing, the case should be decided in
favor of his client, and SO, when the
careful old man went upon the stand
for the defence, the attorney leaned
forward, prepared to fight every inch
of the way.
''Mr. johnson, the plaintiff" said
the careful old man, "said that if
would buy the house, he would get
Mr.. Gimpson to relinquish his release.
He said he thought Mr.. Gimpson
would agree to 60. l guess"
"Never mind what you guess. We
don't want any hearsay or guessing.

and insisted on the understanding be-

the two old men got together, with me
on hand to listen to what they said.

man. II was about to say that / un-

"Your Honor!' cried the young
attorney, "is our time to be taken up

the trade, and whether or not he"

young lawyer looked confidently at

The average man usually finds him
self at sea when he undertakes the de-
scription of ladies dress. An old
farmer returning from the wedding of
niece in town, was eagerly question
ed by his family as tc the brides cos
tune. "Well," said he. "she had on
some kind of dress, with lot of fub-
duberry of some sort or mother down
the front of it, and thing-amajig on
the back of it, with long tail of som e
stuff don't know what it was
dragging out behind, and lot of flip
flop flounces over the whole thing.
There warn't no arms to it, and she
had lot of white truck, soft and flop

have been unsatisfactory to the ladies
of his household.

IN THE BEGINNING

OF a new year, when the winter season
Of close confinement is only half cone,
many find that their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. 1t is then as well
as all other times, and with people
even in good health, that the follow
ing facts should be remembered, namely:
that Hoods Sarsaparilla leads every
thing in the way of medicines; that it
accomplises the greatest cures in the
world; has the largest sale in the world,
and requires the largest building in
the world devoted exclusively to the
preparation of proprietary medicine.
Does not this conclusively prove, if
you are sick, that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the medicine for you to take?
