she obtained and used some of vour Magic Oil ; it

Spring is a trying season. Indications of sick
ucss should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated and the system to remain In a dior-
dered condition, rntil the disorder bag time to de-
raloD Iiself. An ounce of prevention is worth a
ponnd of cure, is an o'.d and truthful saying
Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the
eomplaints now very prevalent -headache, indigi
tion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nansoa, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Tills. We know of no r.-medy so barm.
less and decisive in its action. It at once strikes
at the root of the disease aud produc-s a healthy
tone to the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from a disordered condition of
the liver If they would take this exccllant medicine
hen they feel the fi'st indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or fonr boxes of these pills with
them. They have an almost instauuons tticct.
They will relieve the patient of headache in one or
t hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of
surrounding bile, and will iffectually pievent a
bilious attack. They are sold by all Druggist.
New York, May 3. The Woodin

The statements in the hands of the

the mauner in which Tweed, Jno. T. Hoff

danv at luuch in a Uttle room attached to
the kitchen of the old coart house to dis

J5s?The Union rushes to the rescue ol
Prof, Gregory this morning, and says:
Considerable bitterness is felt in thif
community relative to undeserved snarling
in a certain quarter aguinst Prof- Gre
gory. The facts in the case are that the
boar 1 feared Mr, Gregory was trying to
lo too much, instead of too little." Let
that community, who feels so bitter, un
derstand that there has been uo "unde
served snarling." A few extracts from
the conversation which took place at the
last board meeting, were published
in THE ARGUS, the other day, in which
Mr. Gregory was let down very easy.
That article briefly sketched the proceed
ings, without com mer.ts, so far as Mr.
Gregory was concerned. No one censures
him for getting as large salary as possible,
or for not doing work which he is not
instructjd is his duty to do. The iuterest
of The Argus was to inform the people
that the bo&rd, or part of it, was not satis
fied with what Mr. Gregory was
doing and had af last took courage and
told him of it, What was said was this,
by 11. H. Grover: 'i consider that the
duties ot a superintendent should occupy
his eutire time, 10 hours per day, 6 days
per week, and II months per year. Now
if this looks as though the board were
afraid that .Mr. Gregory was doing too
much work, and wished to lighten his
duties, then are appearances deceivins
and Mr. Gregory has been misrepresented.
The probabilities are, however, that the
people will take the action of the board as
evidence of approval or disapproval of Mr.
Gregory's official course, in prsference to
statements made by the Union,

Centennial Grounds, at Philadelphia, in 1870. In
that memorable coutest the leading Lawn Mowers

point of ease of management, lightness of draft,
non-liahilitv to get out of repair, durability, and l
excellence of work performed, that the highest
