June 1, 1876.

A. w. Tuthill, for some years past our main dependence in the regular issue of The Press, is not with us this week. The marriage notices explain all.
 Warden Howard and Col. Warren started for the centennial on Monday evening. It is particularly desired that on the colonel's return he be asked no questions about losing his valise.
 At business meeting of the ex- soldiers, immediately after returning from decoration services, Andrew Cummings was elected chairman of the association for the ensuing year, and Charles H. Winter secretary. A vote of thanks was extended to Tor rent Engine company, the speakers, musicians and those who furnished flowers and otherwise assisted.
 An attempt was made last night to break into the residence of Warden Howard, who is absent at the centen. nial, the only occupants being Mrs. H., her sister and little child. The ladies were awakened by hearing per sons about the house, and waiting to satisfy themselves that an effort was really being made to enter, made an outcry from an upper window, when two men were seen to run from the front of the house.

Naturally the boys did not stop to question Miguel when they found him heading away from the ranch and the proof trotting alongside.

AN ORANGE GROVE.
Modern Methods In Cultivatimg the
 Gold of the Orchard.

-
 Gold of the Orchard.
 You are certainly entitled to look through that wire fence and see all that constitutes an orange orchard. There are POO round headed trees, about twelve feet in diameter The fruit looks immensely as if it had been arti- ficially put in place. Really those would pass for POO Christmas trees. Does nature do this sort of work any where else? You forget the cherry trees in your northern orchard. You have be- come so familiar with the scarlet glob- ules that hang all over those trees, with orioles and robins shouting ap- proval, and tanagers with indigo birds sitting in the apple tree overhead, that you cannot fully see and appreciate the charm. But you certainly have not for gotten the glory of a Mcintosh red ap- plc tree in October or indeed a whole orchard of ripe Northern Spies, Spitzen- burgs and Kings. Yet the orange has glory all it's own. It Is the gold of the orchard. You thought the trees grew in groves, "but here they are in long, reg ular rows" That W: IS a word borrow
 
 ish days came up where they might and were seldom transplanted. They grew as those wild persimmOns grow at the edge of the orchard or as pines and naples grow. But your modern orange trees are grown in long rows to be cultivated with blows and horses.
 The real orange tree should stand about twenty-five or thirty feet high, with a trunk of five or six inches. Its foliage is dense and a rich green. It is grand tree to sit beneath at midday and drink the juices of the f"uit instead Of water-it is distilled perfectly. But these trees are round and low headed, and one must stoop to get beneath them. They are made of the grafter shoots that came up around the old trees after the freeze. They are more convenient to spray, to protect from the blizzard, while the fruit is more easily gathered. You can walk all about that orchard and reach half the fruit without a ladder It is a good H. lustration of how good sometimes comes out of evil.
 Different shapesv To be sure There are quite as many varieties of oranges in this orchard as there are of apples or plums in most of your north ern orchards - fifteen or twenty. at least. The grower knows them all by name and can tell them all by the shape and the quality. He does not go at random and pick any fine big orange for his own eating but he takes his selection-the King. or the Homosasa, or the Jaffa, or the Ruby, or Parson Brown, or Satsuma. or possibly the tangerine. He fills his pocket with se- lected varieties and then goes to that pine grove over there and peels them as he lunches. It is very much as we do with our pippins, and Swaars, and Princess Louise, and Jillifiowers.-In- dependent.

continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi- cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the req son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.
 This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre- spending with Mrs Pinkham, daughter in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician.
 Read how Mrs. Rnkham helped Mrs. T. O. Willadsen of Manning, Ia. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
 "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before l wrote to you telling you how I felt, had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I had female trouble andwould daily have faint ing spells, backache, bearing down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. wrote to you for your ad- vice and received letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you would have been in my grave to-day"
 Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for restoring women's health.

NO EXCUSE FOR CATARRH.
Worst Cases Quickly Cured by Breath ing Hyomei. Guaranteed by finders Jacobsen.

Worst Cases Quickly Cured by Breath
 ing Hyomei. Guaranteed by finders
 Jacobsen.
 There is really not the slightest ex- cuse for anyone having catarrh, now that Hyomei is so widely known and so easily obtained. The worst cases of catarrh are quickly cured, simply by breathing the remedy through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit.
 Used in this way for few minutes four times day, every particle of air that reaches the nose, throat and lungs is laden with germ-killing and health giving Hyomei.
 The sale of the old-fashioned stomach remedies for catarrh has been reduced to almost nothing since the introduction of Hyomei. Anders Jacobsen will tell you that his sales on this out date line have fallen off at least two thirds in the last few years, while the demand for Hyomei has increased as it's curative powers became rlore widely known.
 The complete outfit, consisting of neat pocket inhaler, a medicine drop per, and bottle of Hyomei costs only one dollar, while extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents, making Hyomei the most economical, as we'll as the most reliable method for curing catarrh.
 AndersJacobsen positively guarantees a cure when Hyomei is used ill accord ance with directions, or he will re- fund the purchase price.

The Fiddler Crab In Winter (

The Fiddler Crab In Winter Quarters
 In winter, when the surface of the ground in which it is accustomed to burrow may become frozen or covered with ice, the fiddler crab bores deep into the mud or sand and stays until spring. The black or mud fiddler fairly riddles the meadow banks along the salt creeks. It bores in, usually hori- zontally, and it may be as far as six or eight feet from the face of the bank, and then down into the mud at various angles until it gets below the level of the tide, which rises and falls through the loose mud, in the fiddler crabs burrow. There are myriads of the black fiddlers, and they so honeycomb the bank that sometimes under the added weight of ice gathered upon the top of it the bank breaks down.-New

The Prime of Life,

The larger part of the great fortunes of this country have been accumulated after their amassers have passed forty. In fact, the first forty years of a mans life are the preparatory years, the years of training and discipline. A large part of this time he is laying the foundation-just getting ready to rear the superstructure. Many of us stum- ble around many years before we get into the right place, and then for addi- tional years we make many mistakes. Most men do not get wise until they have passed forty. They may get knowledge before this, but not much wisdom. Wisdom is a ripening proc ess. It takes time. Every man makes his own dead line Some reach it at thirty-ive, some at forty, some at fifty; some do not reach it at eighty; some never reach it because they never cease to grow.-Success Magazine.
