It was my good fortune to hear the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher deliver his recent ser-
inou on “Labor,” and as a working man I
endorse every word that this friend of the
workingman uttered on that occasion. The
dollar a day and bread and water part of the
sermon has been twisted and 'turncd into
every conceivable shape to 'givc a meaning
the Rev. gentleman did not intend to convey.
He did not say a dollar a day was a fair re-
nmneration for a day‘s labor, or that a work-
ingman should have no better fare than bread
and water, but said in snbstance,this: If a
workingman could get no more, a dollar a
day would suflice to live on; it would buy
bread, and water cost nothing, and that the
railroad employees ought to bear their just
proportion of the general shrinkage of values
which has been and is now taking place, and
which affects capital and labor alike, rather
than resort to violence and intimidation.

The Ladies of the Congregational Church
were successful at their Fair, realizing nearly
$400 as the result of their labor. Without
detracting from the merits of other tables it
can be said that the table presided over by
the Misses Jones containing many articles of
beauty and utility, was one of the leading at-
' tractions. The refreshment department was
well supplied and received a full share of pat-
ronage. If criticism is permissable on this
occasion, it might be said that the priees’of
many articles offered for sale was higher, than
the times would warrant. On the whole it
was a very pleasant af-fair and the Ladies are
thankful for the favors of their friends.

A fair audience listened to the Reading of
Stuart Rogers, Wednesday evening. The en-

been improved in one or two respects. Wol-
sey’s soliloquy was finely rendered, as were
a little story by Bret Harte, and Darius Green’s
Flying Machine. During the recital of the
last a funny incident occurred that brought
ter, including the speaker. Just ashe uttered
the word calf, there was heard the bellow of
a bovine animal young in years. It seemed,
at first, as if this had been either a ventrilo-
quial utterance of Mr. Rogers, or a well
timed joke of a certain reverend gentleman
present ; but it has been proved that a veritable
calf was passing at the time, and uttered his
plaintive call at the opportune moment. It
is pleasant to record that the clerical brother
is exonerated from the implication of attempt-
ing so dreadful a joke, and that it was merely
a curious coincidence of, events.

Mr. T. B. Wakemcn is unquestionably the
“boss" strawberry grower of Connecticut. It
is said his product for the market this season
has aggregated 30 cartlonds of forty bushels
each. If those forty loads could be dumped
into one pilc,what a great pile of strawbem'cs
that would be. Lets’ see! If a man with an
average berry tooth could out three quarts of
those berries at a time and do it three times a
day, he would be over nine years,leaving out
Sunday’s for resting days, getting rid of that
berry pile. Long before the end of that time
probably, his friends would be called on to
help bury a m-ll-bcr’n‘ed man.
One night last week two gentlemen agree-
ing in politics (democratic) but at logger-
heads on certain district school matters',walk-
cd from the village up Golden Hill to their
homes. As they slowly ascended their voices
rose in pitch till finally reaching the top of
the eminence their tones were, as the musi—
cians say at full crescendo. Many of the
words used by them were of one syllable and
not embraced in Webster’s unabridged. Per-
sons on Old Hill and over in Compo who had
read about Rome’s howling, thought. as they
listened, that they heard the Eternal City’s
howl for certain.
The mission of oysters is peace, and peace-
able men eat oysters. Oysters beds, are, as a
rule, peace generators, but the owners there-
of, are liable to indulge in wrangling produc-
tive of discord. Such was the case with
Capt. C. Handley and Mr. James Allen, when
4 the latter was accused by the former of get-
ting on to his oyster beds. The allegation
was maintained by the one as it was stoutly
denied by the other, and a conflict arose on
the quiet bosom of the waters near Caukcen‘s
Island bay, such as had not been witnessed
since the effort of the authorities a few years
ago, to drive away the fish~oil boilers from
Goose Island. Allen claims that I-Iandley
not only stole his oysters, but made and as-
sault on him with intent to kill. A. bad H.
arrested, and at the trial, Friday, the court
was so impressed with the testimony of A. ’s
witnesses, that :it reserved decision in the
case for one week, holding .H. in bonds of
$100. A few half-dozen raw, on the half-
shell, should, but will not be likely to settle
the matter. .
An an ingenious placard inventor and way-
side letter painter, Mr. Charles Burk, is no.
knowledged to have no equals. He has prac-
ticed the art with diligence ever since a fight
at law some years ago, with Mr. Amos Barnes
about the privilege of using a well of water,
and a disagreement with a certain village
lawyer. Those of our citizens who have be-
come cross-eyed trying to decipher the letter-
ing on the sides of a couple of mud scows,
near Burt’s, and were only able to make out
“Old Huckleberry,” and “First cost $2.500,”
will appreciate this remark, since the well
business, he has pointed hicrogiyphites to-
wards Barnes, now and then with effect.
The latest appeared a few days ago, and in
order that it might be understood, Burt paint-
ed a hand with the index finger stretched
over against Barncs’ house. One of Barnes’
sons saw and knocked the thing down, which
so enraged Burt that he seized a gun and at-
tempted to shoot him. A brother of young
Barnes, seeingin fight imminent, also seized
a gun and advancing on Burt drove him from
the field. Burt was arrested for breach of
the peace and held for trial.
A meeting of the legal voters of the West
Saugatuck district, will be held Tuesday
evening, July 31, in Shercrow school house
“to take such action as the ' wanton destruc-
tion of , property in said school house on
Wednesday, the 4th day of July, 1877, may
seem to demand.” This, connection with
the facts as known, point to fun ahead. The
school house has done good service in its day,
as they, who, as boys, attended it. These,
with some of the older property holders in
the district would be glad to see the old
building remain undisturbed. The younger
portion think differently, and are determined
to remodel the institution and furnish it with
modern desks, etc., that their children may
have a respectable room to study in. To that
end they held the annual district meeting a
little earlier than usual this year, hired the
teachers at increased wages, and voted to al-
ter and repair as, in the judgment of a special
committee appointed, it should seem proper
and right. On the Fourth of July, as if in
verification of the adage, “The better the
bled while the bells were ringing and the
cannons yet firing, and began with hammers
and other utensils to either demolish the in-
terior of the house, or give it an eye so black
that it could not at once be restored to its
normal condition. They did this without
consulting the rank and file of the district
and were successful. They then set carpen-
ters at work and soon made such a trans-
formation that the oldest friends of the build_
ing could notrecognize it. Soon the old tax-
payers woke up to the situation and putting
their heads together, said, “we will not have
this sort of thing,” and on the arrival home
from Saratoga Springs of the district com-
mittee, they set about heading off what they
call “the scheme of a few adventurers,” by
calling a meeting of indignation as stated.
The friends of about sides will be on hand in

So far as has been ascertained, only one Do-
troit family has yet taken advantage of the
wonderful curative properties of Gen. Pleas-
onton’s blue glass discovery. The idea took
with them from the start, and, three or four
weeks ago, the blue glass commenced ham-
mering at their ailment. The lady of the
house, who has for years been such an invalid
that she could not make over five calls in an
afternoon, was, in two weeks, so restored to
health that she was able to leave home in the
morning and remain away all day, leaving
her children to get her meals among the
neighbors, and her husband to lunch down
town. Before she began taking sun baths she
was melancholy and despondent, and did
not care for fine things. In one week from the.
time the first blue lights were in she planned
a trip to Florida, runher husband in debt for
a set of cameo jewelry, set in pearls,and had
a crying spell because she couldn’t have a
new velvet dress. She was formerly so weak
and languid that she could not' shake down
the coal stove; Tuesday morning she not
only shook down the stove, but all the stove-
pipe, and when, her husband jumped out
doors ‘to call the neighbors he looked as if
she had shaken him around, too. Her appe-
tite has wonderfully improved" under the
strange cure, and now she can eat most any-
thing which her husband will eome home and
cook. For three long years ‘she was always
complaining of__ headache. That complaint
has now entirely vanished, and she continual.

panes, seated in a rocker, her nose close to

closed, and the blue glass throwing a beauti-

strikers or combinations of men, should be

as follows:
“Whosocver (vide section 2, p. 190) by
any unlawful act, or by any wilful omission
or neglect, shall obstruct or cause to be ob-
structed any engine or carriage on any rail-
way, or shall aid or assist therein ; or whoso-
ever, having charge of any engine or carriage
while upon or in use on any railway of any _
railroad corporation, shall wilfully stop,leavc,
or abandon the same, or render, or aid or as-
sist in rendering the same unfit for or incapa-
ble of immediate use, with intent thereby to
hinder, delay, or in any manner to obstruct
or injure the management and operation of
any railroad, or the business of any corpora-

We might as well adjust ourselves to the
new conditions of our situation. There is—
in every great city of the United States—a
more or less compact and well-organized
force, of those who virtually believe that
property has no rights which labor is bound
to respect. These men get their opinions
from Paris directly or indirectly—and, sc-
crctly or openly admire the demonstrations
made by the Parisian communists including
the murder of helpless women and priests,
the destruction of the accumulated trophies
of art, the commission of outrages that would
have disgraced our Sioux Indians. These en-
emies of our civilization we must. protect
ourselves against. The mere fact that all of
the commerce of the country is disturbed,
that the civil law is prostrated in large com-
munities, that honest and industrious labor-
ers are suffering by reason of the present dis-
turbances,should arouse a people to the danger
of our situation. and to the appropriate rem-
edy therefor. —Democrat.

allow the sum of 139.75 for the expense of
burial, which was one—fourth of the whole
personal estate. This sum Judge Rheume rc-
fused to grant. and, in his decision, after say-
ing that “pompous processions of great length,
glistening silver-plated caskets and carved
marble monuments are unnecessary for Chris-
tian burial,” he sums up his view of the law
of the subject in following words: “Such
parades as are called ‘fine funerals’ may grat-
ify the vanity of the living, but no respect
for the dead demands them, and when a de-
cedent’s estate is limited and his debts are not
paid, or where he leaves a family of helpless
children, the expenses of such burials will
not be allowed of his estate. Those who con-
tract for and enjoy such luxuries must pay
for them themselves.”

Everybody knows that a mob is a coarse,
and unscrupulous wild beast, for the
time being, and as such must be dealt with.
But how are we to characterize (without do-
ing wild beasts injustice) the mob at Pitts-
burg, which actually carried a coffin to the
house of Gen. Pearson, and told Mrs. Pear-
son that they intended to kill her husband
and put him into it? She was there with her
children, her mother and her sister, and with
no protection. No wonder her hair grew
white in a single night. It is curious that
these mob characteristics should be always
the same. «Tribune.

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of
its disorder, it is evident that what the bilious re.
quire is an alterative stimulant which will arouse
it to activity.an effect that is followed by the dis-
appearance of the various symptoms indicative or

which bilious invalids are peculiarly subject. As

} Centaur
Liniments.
One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as a pain annihilator and curative agent as the
Centaur Liniments. These-Liniments have Within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Stiff-jointS. Caked Breasts, Hwellings,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lam'e Animals, etc., etc.,
than all other remedies combined. As the name of
Centaur implies half horse and half man, the Gen-
taur Liniments are for man and beast. But not the
same Liniment. The White Liuiment is for man
and the Yellow for horses and animals. Herein
this Linimcnt differsfrom all other remedies, al-
though somc of the ingredients are aike in each.
They contain the well-known Witehllazel, Arnica,
Carbolic. lock Oil, Mcntha and other 1) owcrfu
ingredients.
Wm. H. IIickcox, Rector of St. John’s 15. Church
Wakefield, Clay 00., Kansas, writes: “Many years
I have been suffering from a \Veak Back. caused
from a. sprain more than 40 years a o. I havenot
found anything to relieve mo unti 1 commenced
the use of Centaur Liniment. I feel it my Christ-
ian .duty to inform you that by its wonderful ef-

Messrs. J. McClure 8'. Co., Druggists, Cincinnati,
0.. says:-— -
. “Teamsters pronounce the Yellow Centaur Lin-
nuent superior to anything they ever used. We
sell several dozen bottles per month, and the sale
is steady increasing.”
These are only samples of tliousnndsupon thou-
sands or similar testimonials reaching us every
month. All the Extracts, Embrocations, Salves,
and Ointments in existence are not doing one-tenth
the good which is done by these admirable Centaur
Linimcnts. For Frost-bitesttings, Cuts, lteh,
Salt Rheum, etc., there is nothing like the Centaur
Linimeut. White Wrapper. For Spavin, Ring-
bone, Sweeney, Wind Calls, Poll-evil, Scratches,
etc., on horses, the Yellow Centaur Liniment is
equally good. They are certain in their effects;
they are pleasant to use, they are handy and they
are cheap. No family should be without Centaur
Liniinents. They are worth one hundred times
their cost.
