George Gria wold Haminond died at Vernon Oct. 20th, haying been in dec ining health ''for some live years previous.

This "act was approved May 3d last, and by its terms there must be a compliance Avith its provisions before the 3d of No vember. f "i A PIOJfEER EXHIBITOR. r -In the early days of Michigan, when a county fair was to be remembered, one oi I tha southern counties in Michigan held a fair one fall, at which one of the exhibitor was a man named Prother. . He had fir entry of poultry,' another of cattle, and a . third of vegetable. When the judges o poultry came - around Prother met them with : : ' "Gentlemen, here are the biggest hens, the fattest geese, and the heaviest turkeys : in the state. - 1 want nrst premium. "We'll see about it," replied one. "I want first premium, or I'll lick tht three of you half to death." announced Prother, in a strictly business tone, and il may be said right here that he dido t get the premium and that he kept his word. Two of the judges were battered until they couldn t see, and the third got aw ay af tej having two teeth knocked out. When the judges on cattle came around theyv turned up their noses at Prother s ole cow and two half-starved calves, but lit placidly remarked : "Gentlemen, that 'ere cow was drivet 100 miles to reach this state, and them calves can't be beat for blood. Theii grandmother was owned by the empress ol France." Something was said about his cireless ness in not entering the stock for the bone yard instead of the fair, and he answered with : "Gentlemen, I'm willing to take second premium, and if I don't get it you'd bettei hire some one to hold me." They neglt cted his advice, and in due . course of time had their noses driven back or their eyes put in mourning. Prother was telling the judges on vegetables .what they might expect in case he did not get v premium, when he was arrested, but only after he had pouuded two constables. Within three weeks after the fair he had mauled the president, run the secretary in to the woods, and pulverized the treasurer, and before the end of; six months he had licked all the judges but two, and '. was hunting for them with great energy when he got before the courts and was sent to jail for a year. , . : Hartford Courant : A Hartford clergy man tells the following story, at his !own expense, with much glee. He exchanged with a brother minister one Sunday even ing when there was considerable interest in the choir-performances of the church. Coming out, after service, and walking homeward in the darkness, he found him self directly behind three, women, two of whom were discussing th& wmsio and the - singers. They conldpi" agree. One thought the soprano was fa.t sharp, and the oth er criticised, the alto or barritone,' and so it wen, on in, disfiordani style. Presently the third woman, hitherto silent but mjedi tatjve, struck in with a single remark Which harmonized all discords and seemed to roduco the gossiping trio to unanimity and uuiaon. VWVll,''aid he, "'twas a Viiixemkle sermon, anyhow !" There was o fsunteat syllable of dissent from this opinion. The women went their way sat- ; isiied, reconciled. The parson acquiesced.

Boston, and 27C Fourth Ave., N. Y. Willi 3 j ; ;v i jj FACTS ABOUT OUR Installment Plan 1st. Our system of selling ev erything to furnish a house'complete, and re ceiving pur pay in weekly or monthly install ments is mutually advantageous to the public and ourselves. 2d. It does not enlianee the price of goods like the old, irresponsible cred it system, where the honest man had to pay enough to make good the loss on the dishon est. We make no losses and can afford to Sell our goods at the lowest cash price, charg ing only a small percentage after 30 days. 3d. It enables one to furnish a house comfortably or even richly and pay by degrees, thus not feeling it in the least, when it would be utterly impossible to pay all at one time. 4th. By this system our sales are largely increased, and we can afford to give our customers a better and larger assort ment to select from, besides as our sales in crease our ratio of expenses decrease. 5th. We never proceed to take our security from a person who is sick, out of employmant or temporarily embarrassed, but only from those who request us to do so, or who manifestly try to defraud us. Purchasers can rely upon being more leniently dealt with than by any saving institution in the state. i . In fact, we on our part offer the largest as sortment at lowest prices, and give a liberal time' for payment. iBy this means we encour age all to save their money, in the purchase of substantial comforts. It encourages thrift, economy, ambition and sobriety. Not a single street in this city, or village or hamlet around the city, but has many in stances of the benefits to be derived from our stallment plan. No matter what others practice, the above is our method, and we court investigation upon the part of any one interested.

If you and.I, to-day, Should stop and lay Our lifework down, and let our hands fall where they will Fall down to lie quite still And if some other hand should come and stoop to find The threads we carried, so that it could wind, Beginning where we stopped ; if it should come to keep Our life-work going, seek To carry on the good design, Distinctively tr ade yours or mine What would it find ? Some work we must be doing, true or false ; Some threads we wind; some purpose so exalts Itself that we look up to it or down, As to a crown To bow before, and we weave threads Of different lengths and thickness some mere shreds And wind them round Till all the skein of life is bound, Sometimes forgetting at the time To ask. The value of the threads, or choose Strong stuff to use. No hand but winds some thread ; It cannot stand quite still till its dead But what it spins and winds a little skein. liod made each hand for work not tou-stam Is required, but every hand Spins, though but ropes of sand. IMove should come, Stooping above when we are done, To find bright threads we have held, that it may spin them That longer find but shreds That break when touched how cold, Sad, shivering, portionless, the hand will hold The broken strands and know Fresh cause for woe. THE SKKLKTON'S STORY. Eide closer ! It is two mi!e3 ahead to the foot-hills two miles of parched lurf and rocky space. To the right the left behind, is the roll ing prame. This broad valley strikes the Sierra Nevadas and stops as if a wall had been built across it. What is it on the grass ? A skull here a rib there bones scattered about as the wild beasts left them after the horrible feast. The clean-picked skull grins and stares every bone and scattered lock of hair has its story of a tragedy. And what besides these relics? More bones not scattered, but lying in heaps a vertebrae with ribs attached a fleshless skull bleach ing under the summer sun. Wolves ! Yes, Count the heaps of bones and you will find nearly a score. Open boats are picked up at sea with neither life nor sign to betray their secret, skeletons are louna upon the prairie, but tliey tell a plain story to those who halt beside them. Let us listen Away off to the right you caa see tree tops. Away off' to the left you can see the same sight. The skeleton is m line be tween the two points. He left one grove to ride to the other. To ride ! Certainly ; a mile away is the skeleton of a horse or mule. The beast fell and was left there If he left the grove at noon he would have been within a mile of this spot at dusk. It is, therefore, plain that he did not leave until mid-afternoon, or possibly at dusk, Signs of Indiana may have driven him from his trapping ground, or mayhap he had exhausted the game and was shifting to new nelds. - It is months since that ride, and the trail has been obliterated. Were it other- wise, and you took it up from the spot where the skeleton horse would find the last three made at a tremendous pace. "Step ! step ! step !" now lies, you or four miles What is it? Darkness has gathered over mountain and prairie as the hunter jogs along over the broken ground. Over head the countless stars look down upon aim around him is the pall of night, There was the patter of foot-teps on the" dry grass. He. halts and peers around him, but the darkness is too deep for him to discover any cause for alarm, "Patter ! patter ! patter !" There it is again ! It is not fifty yards from where he last halted. The steps are too light for those of an Indian. , A grizzly would rush upon its victim with a roar of defiance and anger. A panther would hurl himself through thirty feet of space with a scream to unnerve the hardiest hunter. "woivesr wnispers tne hunter, as a howl suddenly breaks upon his ear, Wolves ! The gaunt, grizzly wolves of the foot-hills thin, and poor, and hungry, and savage the legs tireless the mouth full of teeth which can crack the shoulder. bone of a buffalo. He can see their dark forms flitting from point to point the patter of their feet upon the parched grass proves that he is Burroundd. Now the race begms. There is no shel ter until the grove is reached. Instinct guides the horse, and terror lashes him with such a whip- as human hand never wielded. Over space, through the gloom, almost as swift as an arrow sent by a strong hand, but a dark line follows. A line of wolves spreads out to the right and left, and gallops after tongues out eyes flash inggreat flakes of foam flying back to blotch stone and grass and leave a trail to be followed by the cowardly coyotes. Men ride thus only when life is the stake. A horse puts forth such speed only when terror follows close behind and causes every nerve to tighten like a wire drawn until the scratch of a finger makes it chord with a wail oi despair. A pigeon could not skim this valley with such swift ness, and yet the wings of fate are broad, and long and tireless. The line is tlmre aye ! it is gaining I Inch by inch it creeps up, and the rt d eye takes on a more savage gleam as the hunter cries out to his horse and opens fire from his revolvers. A wolf f ills on the right a second on the left. Does the wind cease blowing because it meets a forest ? The fall of one man in a mad mob simply increases the determina tion of the rest. , With a cry bo full of the despair that wells up from the heart of the strong man when he gives up his struggle for life that the hunter almost believes a companion rides beside him, the horse staggers re covers plunges forward falls to the earth. It was a glorious struggle, but he has lost. The wings of the dark line oblique to the center there is a confused heap of snarling, fighting, maddened beasts," and the line rushes forward again. Saddle. bridle and blankets are in , shreds the horse a skeleton. . And now the chase is after the hunter. He has half a mile the start, and as he runs the veins stand out, the muscles tighten, and he wonders at his own speed. Behind him are the gaunt bodies and the tireless legs. Closer, closer, and now he is going to face fate as a brave man should. He has halted. In an in stant a circle is formed about him a circle of red eyes, foaming mouths and yellow fangs which are to meet in bis flesh. There is an interval a breathing spell. He looks up at the stars out upon the night. It in his last hour, but there is no quaking no crying out to the night to send him aid. As the wolves rest a flash blinds their eyes a second a third and a fourth, and they give way before the man they had looked upon as tlieir certain prey. But it is only for a moment. He sees them gathering for the rush, and fir ing his remaining bullets among them he seizes his long rifle by the barrel and braces to meet the shock. Even a savage would have admired the heroio fight he made for life. He sounds the war-cry and whirls his weapon around him, and wolf after wolf falls disabled. He fella a Btr autre exultation over the desperate combat, and as' the pack give way before his mighty blows a gleam of hope springs up in his heart. It is only for a moment ; then the circle narrows. Etch disabled beast is replaced by three which hunger for blood. . There is a rush a swirl and the cry of despair is drowned in the chorus of snarls as the pack fight over the feast. - The gray of morning the sunlight of noonday the stars of evening will look down upon grinning skull and whitening bonis, and the wolf will return to crunch them again. Men . will not . bury them. They will look down upon them as we look, read the story as we have read it, and ride away with a feeling that 'tis but an other dark secret of the wonderful prairie. New York Tribune : A lady just re turned from Europe was telling a day or two since of what she termed "the Ameri can craze" in England. "It is more pro nounced," she said, "than the English craze iu America. We are not more no ticeable in imitating the Eaglish than they are in their sudden admiration of Ameri cans. They evince it in almost every way. An American lady is the acknowledged and worshiped professional beauty, and an American actrtss is the rage of the fre quenters of the theaters." "You mean aiiss Anaerson, oi course "Jler suc cess is a double one. Her beauty is no less talked about than her acting, which you have naturally heard most of her." "How about those other American actress es, Minnie Palmer and Lillian Russell ?" "Oh! they were 'handicapped.' Mies Palmer was unfortunate in her manager, and Miss Russell in her associations. Miss Anderson has been most sensible in her course and has not offended English ideas of propriety in her personal conduct. The Cleveland beauty is as quiet and reserved and modest as at home, and the hoydenish character in which she has been painted by some writers for American papers is an injustice to her. The rage for travel in America is not yet at its height. I antici pate that next spring it will.be as much the English fashion to go to America as to Switzeilaod. The reports of the English tourists here will increase the wish to see America." Turfmen observe some traits in the fa vorites of the race-course. Smuggler is said to have always made his best time on the Cleveland track, as did the pacing mare Lucy, while Little Fred could trot on the Buffalo track two seconds faster than on any other. At. Utica the other day, Duquesne, in his race with Director, did very poorly, owing to his dislike of the track. Almost eveiy horse has his likes and dislikes for particular courses, the most notable exception being Driver, to whom all tracks were alike. Potaska, pleasant to take. Children like it. A Montana paper tells of a spring whose waters, by flowing over an iron surface, coat it with shining brass. It is believed out there that a book agent, or lightning-rod man, per ished in that pool. Potaska prevents and cures Diphtheria. You don't phase us ! The other day we happened in at a swell furnishing goods store, and seeing in the showcase some un derwear that looked pretty good, we asked the price of it. The clerk, with . an air that said "I'll make you gasp," replied : "That's silk, sir ; it costs $75 a set !" We simply said : "Let us see it." He too-k it out and we examined it, tossed it bajk contemptuously, asked : "Haven't y ou something better?" The clerk was "the one to look aghast. He said he didn't think any better was made. "Well,' we growled, "we don't like that !" And we sailed out, leaving that clerk almost a wor shiper of purs ; and it didn't cost us a cent.

" I have tested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased In the open market, and find; it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substances. E. G. Love, Ph.D." " It it a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure." . . " H. A. Mott, Ph.D." " I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the market. I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub Btance. : Esmbt Moktok, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology." "I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which it is composed are pure and wholesome. S. Dana Hayes, State Assayer, Mass." The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World's Exposition, 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876 ; at the American Institute, and at State Fairs throughout the country. No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world. Note. The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders&s shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A one pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan tage of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength titan other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indica ting that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous. thi BEST THING KNOWN WASHmGBLEAOHING IN HARD OR SOFT, HOT OR BOLD WATER. 3AVES ABOIt, TIME and SOAP AMAZ INGLY, and gives universal satisfaction.

In this condition I began the use of your Lewis' Red Jacket Bitters. Immediately I felt their effects. In two weeks I was nearly in my usual health. I used two bottles since that time.
