Never run down your opponents goods in public. Let him do his own adver- Using.

 Let your advertisements have some- thing of the dash in them, without ex- aggeration.

 You can't eat enough in one week to last you whole year, and you can't ad- vertise on that plan either.

 It's as true of advertising as of any thing else in the world-if it is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well.

 Handbills and circulars are good of their kind, but cannot take the place of newspaper advertisements.

 Injudicious advertising is like fishing where there's no fish. You need to let the lines fall in the right place.

 No bell can ring so loudly as'-a good advertisement. People will believe what they see rather than what they hear.

 Small advertisements, and plenty of them, is good rule. We were all babies once, yet we made considerable noise.

 When you advertise, see that you do it on the same principle that you buy goods. Get the most that you can for the money. .....

 We don't recommend advertising as oA40 OOSo W"J UO 9OO O W1AC put WO huOW that it is the best way to get good trade.

 People who advertise only once in three months forget that most folks don't remember anything longer than seven days.

 If you can arouse curiosity by an ad- vertisement it is great point gained. The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the world.

 A constant dropping will wear rock. Keep dropping your advertisements on the public and they will soon melt under it like rock salt. ... .-. 4=

 "Dull times," it is said, Care the best for advertisers. Because when money is tight, and the people are forced to economize, they always read the ad- vertisements to ascertain who sell the cheapest, and where they can trade to the best advantage.

 According to the character or extent of your business set aside liberal per centage for your advertising. Keep yourself unceasingly before the public, and it matters not what business of utility you may be engaged in, for if in- telligently and industriously pursued, a fortune will be the result. The man who advertises shows not only business talent above his neigh bors, but he may be at once reckoned among the independent, generous and public spirited of the community. He who hides his light under bushel, when such advantages as those at present af forded are so freely offered him, does not | deserve to succeed =

SINGULAR ACCUSATIONS OF BRUTALITY. A Massachusetts paper published the following almost incredible story of the misdeeds of resident of Northbourgh, and alleges that it is not his first ofiense of the kind; "A few days since young lay in his employ, at work with a horse in the field, lost control of the horse, and he ran to the barn. without doing any material damage. This so enraged him that he gavesthe boy most cruel beating with 0 heavy stick {; he then proceeded to beat his horse, when his daughter, @ young woman, came out and begged her father not to abuse the horse in that manner, to which he paid no at- tention, but continued to beat his horse morevseverely. The daughter continu- ed to plead with her father to desist, when he left the horse and proceeded to beat her with the same heavy stick. His wife, seeing the danger her daughter was in, came out and begged her hus- band to spare their daughter. He then leftfthe daughter, seized his wife by the hair of the head, and proceeded to pum- mel her in most brutal and murderous manner. The daughter seeing the dan ger her mother was in, ran across the road to neighbor for help. This en- ragged him still more, and he met the daughter on her return, and knocked her down on the highway, where she lay sometime apparently in a senseless con dition. After while some of the neigh bors arrived at the battlefield, and the cruelty ceased for the present.

OLD HUNDRED. The opening choral, cold Hundred" at the opening of the Coliseum in Boston, correspondent says, produced profound effect. Istood at the extreme end of the building when the chorus rose. It was not unlike the surging of an ocean tide. As the section rose one after the other, great wave seemed to sweep across the multitudinous choir, and when the voices, instruments and powerful organ joined in the solemn notes of that familiar hymn, a new and indefinite awe seemed to run through the multitude of listeners with vibratory power, as if a new and divine electricity had been evolved. I turned round and found men and women in tears. They were entirely incapable of telling what was tle matter with, them. Such is the effect of the sublime, even when method ically, planned. I felt something swell ing in my throat at the same time, but I think have recovered my reason suffi- ciently to aver that it was Hot the effect of the musical excellence of the perfor- nance, but was rather the result of the human susceptibility, to new and myste- rious sensations.

There are the arched neck, the bright eyes, the transparent cases, piercers to puncture the skin, a sucker to draw away the blood, six long-jointedlegs, four of which are folded on the breast, all ready, at any moment, to be thrown out with tremendous force for that jump which bothers one when they want to catch him, and at the end of each leg hooked claws, to enable him to cling on whatevsF he alights upon. A flea can jump hundred times his own length,

 which is the same as if man jumped over five hundred feet and he can draw a load two hundred times his own weight.

known as the Professor, or Professor


Smith. Oa Tuesday night the Pro-


lessor went into an oyster saloon and
ate forty raw. He then told the wait
er to put up fifty for him to take
home, and insisted that they should

Before he had walked a block the
bottom came out of the bag, and the
oysters fell 20 the pavement and froze
fast. The Professor tugged away at
them without avail, and at length
went to the bar-roOm across the street
to get some hot water to thaw them
out Between the Professor and the
ar-FooIn was chain connecting two
iron horse posts. He stumbled over
the chain, and fell head-long into the
street. His hat flew OFF and sailed
down the street before the wind at
ice boat speed. The Professor started
alter 1t, but the hat won the race.
The Professor returned to the bar

there could be no Ritualistic fap-doodle in his
church. Here Was CONSERVATION. The aspir-
ant for matrimony was determined; the Low
Church pastor Of Trinity WAS obdurate. Pos
session being nine points Of Law, the Low
Church Epastor seemed to be master Of the
situation. The bride vas led away to her car
riage. The choir followed. So did the audience.
Another church Was tried, but with no better
results. and the issue was for the Rev. Mr.
Miller to dispense with his Ritualistic rights Or
the marriage rites. Mr. Miller chose rather to
sacrifice the former,-a resolution which We
sincerely hopehe will never havecau to regret.


Now, the Rev. Mr. Miller may not have shown
good taste in thus proclaiming to the world
ceremony which most people are accustomed to
regard as one Of peculiar privacy and sacred
ness. His ambition to bemarried with accessories
did not differ much, it is true, from that aim OF
all fashionable young ladies to eclipse all prede-
cesaors in the grandeur Of their toilettes, the
magnifcence Of their trousseaus, the length Of
dal procession. It is probably not the
precise kind Of ambition that modest
young man, or even an obdurate
old widower, would have developed under simi-
lar circumstances. Still, Ritualism, like Peter
simple's idea Of odors, is much matter Of taste,
and ought not to constitute bar to matrimony.
Mr. Millers mistake was in not selecting a cos
mopolitan community like Chicago, where he

his Golden Medical Discovery, with which
our readers are familiar: "From its wonder
full power over Consumption of the Lungs, I
had thought strong y OF calling 1t my CON-
sumptive Cure; but from the fact that it is
perfect specific for the sore throat and hoarse-
ness n to which ministers and other public
speakers and singers are subject, and also
for Bronchitis and scvere Coughs, and is an
invaluable Blood Purifier, l decided not to
apply to it a name which might mislead and
prevent its use in other diseases for which
it is so admirably adapted.


"It will cure cough in one half the time
necessary to cure it with any other medicine,
and it does not by drying it up, Lut by re-
moving the cause-subduing the irritation
and healing the affected parts"

Without any regard to Presidential
combinations, Judge David Davis de-
serves well of his country tor the utter
ance of these golden words from the
bench of the Supreme Court, in the Milli-
gan case


The Constitution of the United States
is law for rulers and people equally in
war and in peace, and covers with the
shield of its protection all classes of men,
at all times and under all circumstances
No doctrine involving more pernicious
consequences was ever invented bv the
wit of man than that any of its provisions
can tie suspended during any of the ext
gencies of the Government Such doc
trine leads directly to anarchy and des-
potsm, but the theory of necessity on
which it is based is false. tor the Govern
ment within the Constitution has all the
powers granted to it which are necessary
to preserve its existence, as has been hap
PLY proved by the result of the great eff
fort to throw off its just authority"


A citizen of Indiana had been arrested
tor an offence unknown to the laws, and
tried and convicted by court authorized
by the Constitution. He was condemned
to the gallows, and then his punishment
was changed to imprisonment for life.
This result was reached through the infam-
Gus assumption that in time of war the
Government had power over the rights
and liberties of the citizen unknown to
the Constitution in time OF peace. The
words uttered by Judge Davis restored
the supremacy Of the Constitution. and
set the captive free, and he deserves the
thanks of every. friend OF constitutional
liberty for it.

engaged to be married to Young man
living at GOldSboro, named Alfred ker-
rick, and the wedding was appointed to
come off at that place about two weeks
ago On the wedding morning as She


was about to perform her ablutions the
sight of water sent shiver through her
whole system and frightened her. and at
the breakfast table the coffee had such an
effect upon her that she spilled it over the
table. She then complained Of feeling
unwell, and her friends advised her to re-
main at home; but she said she did not
want to disappoint Al, and, accompanied
by sister, proceeded to Goldsboro, where
the wedding ceremony was performed


Immediately after this she was seized
with spasms, bearing all the indications
of hydrophobia. In one of her lucid in
tervals she warned the company that she
would bite them if they did not keep
away from her. But" said she to her
husband, "Al, You need not be afraid, |

She bit a lady who was endeavorng to
