There is a wide-spread and well found
•4 belief that
THOMAS' ECLECTRIC OIL
will cure coughs, pains, crick in the
back, swelled neck, pain caused by
bruises, sores or rheumatism, abrasions
©r cuts, corns, bunions, &c. This belief
has the best possible foundation, namely,
the experience of those who have used it
or known of its effects. A perusal of the
regular advertisement in this paper is
recommended. See advertisement in
another column.
On last Tuesday afternoon as Mr. H.
Whigett^ who resider 18 miles from town
•n the road to- Marsnall, was going home,
walking behind a load of wood which his

He undertook to ride but it caused him
such pain that he was compelled to walk
the remainder of the distance, seven
miles, to his destination.

son 1, Wheeler 1,. Garfield 2. Several Re
publicans expressed themselves as bitter
ly opposed to Grant's nomination'. Our
Democratic friends are not unanimously
in favor of any particular candidate, the
majority saying that they would support
their nominee, while Tilden had 3 friends
Bayard 2 and Hendricks 1.

delivered has not been as large as it
should hare been. When it is remem
bered that the proceeds are to be devoted
to a public library and the services of the

the object should command itself to all
who can afford it. Let there be a full
torn out to hear Mr. Bigham.

We have received a circular from W. J.
Abernethy, Sec'y of the Farmer's Board
of trade of Minn., requesting us to call
attention to the law passed by the last
Legislature relative to the grading and
weighing of wheat and other agricultural
products. The substance of which is that
any one who shall knowingly, falscly
weigh any agricultural product, or shall
determine the weight or grade of wheat
as a purchaser or weigher by any other
measure than that which is made legal
by this act shall be liable to a fine of not
less than §50. nor more than $100 for
each offense, or imprisonment for 60 days
or both. It is further made the duty of
the County Atttorney to enforce the law
when its violation is made known to him
by the affidavit of the party complaining.
All fines recovered shall be paid into the
county treasury.
In the same circular it is stated that a
grade of wheat to be known as "No. 2
Hard Spring" has been established. It
is to be sound, reasonably clean, com
posed mostly of hard varieties of spring
wheat and to weigh not less than 56 lbs.
to the measured bushel.

A young man by the name of William
Kotz, coachman for Mr. Charles McClel
lan, came to my store one morning com
plaining that his feet hurt him very bad
ly, and expressing fears that they were
frost-bitten. He had in vain tried to get
relief by consulting phj sicians, and had
endeavored, without success, to ease the
pain by rubbing his feet with snow and
ice, the remedy applied in such cases.
Being exposed a great deal to the cold by
his occupation, his feet got worse daily,
until one day he fainted in the street.
A few dsn's after he again came to my
store and showed me his feet. I have
seen a great many sores in my lite, but
nothing to equal this, and was afraid the
poor fellow would lose his limbs. He
asked me for ST. JACOBS OIL but at
first I refused, as I did not wish to take
the responsibility upon myself, not being
a great admirer of so-called Patent-Medi
cines. However, some friends, who hap
pened to be in the store at the time,
begged me give the ST. JACOBS ON, to
the sufferer so we rubbed his feet well
with the OIL, and he took the remainder
with him. After nine days the same man
again came into my store, perfectly well,
and requested me to write to you of this
most wonderful cure he also states, that
two other persons had been cured of
Rheumatism by the same bottle which
helped him. Jons LENZEN.

(From our Correspondent.)
Diphtheria has made its way into our
little Village and there has been about
12
cases of it, but only one proved fatal ts
yet, and that was a little boy of Mr. John
Rutledge's, named Clarence. He was
about nine years old. Mr. Rutledge's re
maining two children are both down with
it, they seem to have it in a worse form
then any others that have been attacked
with it. Their little girl, aged 8 years,
has lain apparently at the point of death
for three days they begin to intertain a
little hopes, but the little one is in great
danger yet. Nearly all in town that have
not been attacked with the disease are
using a preventive prepared by Dr. Hoyt,
and we are in hopes that it wont spread
much more.
Mr. & Mrs. W. J. Masters have re turned
from their eastern trip, and report that
they were having very heavy rains in New
York State and roads muddy most of the
time.
E. B. Barnes has a number of hands
engaged on his lumber shed.
Mr. James King has invented a machine
for separating the cockle from wheat. He
has been at work here a number of days
cleaning wheat for the farmers and it
works like a charm. It has proved a
complete success. Mr. King"will clean
wheat for five cents per bushel. We Jun
dcrstand he has applied for a patent.
Mrs. Somervill of Rochester came on
yesterday's train, to assist her daughter
Mrs. Rutlege in taking care of her sick
children. Sirs. Bomcrville has had con
siderable experience as a nurse and her
services wiU be valued by her afflicted
daughter.
The weater continues changeable. We
are having heat and cold, clouds and
sur shine, in succession. The ground is
bare.
Since writing the above OlineRuttedge
aged 6 years old died of diphtheria. Mrs.
Rutledge's only remaining child is down
with the same disease.
