JrnOK von Youhselvks. We have ro
ceived a numler of inquiries in regard to
the "silverware counon"ad vertised in our
columns several weeks since, and we
would simply say that we are not respous-

Several parties in this vicinity have order
ed the "premium spoons and say they
received tho value of their money. An
Kastern exchange, of a recent date, has
tho following : "These fellows "assure
everybody that their 'spoons retail at $4
per set. but kindly oiler to send a set' free
to any one who will send 75 cents 'to cover
boximr. niarkinsr and express or man
charges.' Certainly, the verdant country
men imagine thev really give away the
moons, and that the 73 cents is to cover
only expenses. xTow, what is the truth
Whv. iust this. and. not only in this one
case, but in every 'premium' offer that is
made: I ho spoons aro represented as
worth ?4, and as having the buyer's initial
'engraved on each spoon. In fact, these
spoons are the cheapest of all cheap trash.
the initial is stamied on, and never en
graved at all, and even when giving them
away, the 'generous Silverware Company
Mears a pront ot luiiv jmj per cent, wo
repeat, it makes no difference what goods
are offered, whether spoons, time-keepers,
pens or silverware, in every instance the
sum asked to pay for the 'nostaire and
packing' is three times, as a rule, what the
goods actually cost the advertiser.
JrDicious Adverti3I.no. At a recent
meeting of the stove manufacturers of the
country, the President of tho Convention
gave the members the following good ad-
vieei ii wo would make the best possible
use of our money, we should patronize
ably-conducted and responsible newspa
pers. The newspaper is immeasurably
the best medium open to our trade: tho
most liberal and expert advertisers testify
to its value, and in the employment of its
vuiiuims we would tind a means oi escape
trom watchful, undignified and ineffectual
methods, to which so manv resort in their
eagerness to secure attention and patron
age. These words do not apply to the
stove dealers alone, but to all classes of
persons, at ail times, everywhere, who are
transacting legitimate business.
Bad Jons. Last Saturday, says the
Statesman, we went to the Secretary of
State's office to get some information of
the amount ot assessable property in this
State.bnt rind the assessment rolls of many
ot the counties in such condition that it is
utterly impossible to get what we wanted.
Many of the counties have not footed up
the column at all.whilo others have footed
up each page separately, in which shape
the footings are almost useless. Many of
the rolls will have to be sent back to the
counties from which they came, and all
the defective ones ought to be. It seems
to us there is no excuse for assessors or
clerks to send up work so imperfeetly
executed.
Change of Firm. Chas. Albright. Jr.,
has purchased the interest of his father in
the firm of Albright fc Logus. Charles is
a steady and enterprising young man.aud
we hone he will do well in his new posi

jnvjted to call around w;tlj the coin.
Cutting Affray. Last Tuesday even
ing, about 7 o'clock, as James Harding
was passing by Demerit's building, on
Main street, he was assaulted by one Wm.
Taylor, with a pocket knife in" his hand.
Harding knocked his assailant down, and
tumbled on top of him. While down,
Taylor proceeded to insert his knit'o into
Harding's back, indicting a painful but
not dangerous wound. Harding's coat
has five or six cuts from the knife, but
only one took effect in his Itody. The City
Marshal happened along about that time
and carried Taylor off to jail. Harding
and Taylor Imd'a war of words some time
ago, and this was the result of it. Taylor
had a hearing in the Justice's court last
evening, and was fined ir20 and costs. The
chargeof assault with a dangerous weapon
was dismissed.and the complaint changed
to assault and battery.

Almost every known variety of fruit,

THE TIirXDEU STORM.
Night has cast her mantles o'er the earth
Of blackest darkness there's no dearth ;
The sun has .set behind the black cloud,
The lightning dasbeth.the thunder roareth
loud.
As with tierce, wild wrath and turv driven,
The earth with thunder IkUs is riven ;
Flash after flash, forked lightnings dart
to ami fro,
Loud roars the thunder, then distant faint
and low.
All life is hushed, with trembling and
with fear,
And well it may he, for death lurketh near.
The horses bow their heads, trembling at
every joint.
And still" the lightnings flasheth, from
every cloud and point.
Crash follows crash, as great tall trees aro
riven,
Bv lightnings playing far and near, with
fiercest fury driven.
Even tho wild Leasts of tho forests,
The pride and terror of tho tourists,
Have sought their forest lair,
And 'trembling and fearful aro crouching
there.
The quiet, harmless, timid deer,
liics crouching in nis hook wiiii iear.
The great awkward lumbering bear,
Dare not leave his hidden lair.
All is hushed with fear,
Save the panther lurking near.
He is searching o er me wood, on bloody
thoughts intent,
On a feast of ilesh and blood ho is bent.
Hark I hear his tierce, blood-eurdlmir crv.
Oh 1 what a sound, how fearfully -nigh I
ai ouiiiiKs x see nis giisieinug eye, nis red
and glaring tongue;
My heart is in my mouth, my nerves aro
all unstrung.
Oli I what a fearful crash,
See the vivid lightnings flash.
I fear the wild tornado blow.
Felling tree alter tree, laying the forest low.
Hear the wolves mournful Howl, how
long-drawn and tremulous,
Borne on the wings of the irale.
I low fhe dogs and horses quailT
Hark I again the panther's cry.
The owl adds Ids notes to the din,
Sitting high above us on that broken limb.
The rain falls in torrents, drenching us to
the skin.
Happy are they who aro safe at homo
to-night.
Silting around the bright firelight,
Listening to tho thunder s crash.
Heeding not the lightning s flash.
The dashing rain but music to their ears,
Untortured by such hopes and fears,
As is now our portion to endure.
i
THE VISIOX.
Oh, the wild and wintry winds
Are wildly blowing now,
how thev remind one of his sins
As thev fiercely, wildly blow.
'Tis midnight's ho!v hour,
I'm silting dreaming of the past,
Dreaming of God's wondrous power,
Would the dream might alwavs last.
But no, ot her visions come to haunt me,
Visions of a beauteaus maiden.
Eyes in whose wound reus dept hs I sco
A heart that deep with love is laden.
A soft white cheek, I almost leel,
Laving softly 'gainst my own,
As low before the fire I kneel,
Giving vent to a bitter moan.
I feci soft arms around my neck,
A soft kiss on my cheek ;
Endearing words I try to check,
And to stop tho mouth with kisses seek.
But alas! I clasp but empty air,
The vision has tied awav ;
Tho form I seek is not there,
Oil ! that I might never see another day.
How hard to break f he spell that binds me
ith its mystic bands so tight;
Oh ! that its power might load me
To a ray of hidden light
To-day I gazed last on her cold dead form,
So coldly, calmly beautiful ;
To-night she lies out in the storm,
She who was so tender and faithful.
Thev folded her hands across her breast,
With roses in their clasp;
They have laid her awav to her rest.
I have seen her for the last.
As I stood at the head of her colfin,
Anil gazed on her still white lace.
I could not keep from wishing,
That I might take her place.
We were to have been married,
In one short, hannv week :
Why could not thedoath angel have tarried
Or tor other victims seek.
This vision forever w ill haunt me,
Yv hcrever I may roam ;
This shadowy form I now see.
Forever before mo will come.
St i 1 1 1 h o w i I d a n d w i n t r v w i n d s are bl owing
Making more hideous still the night;
Still the wintrv snow is snowing
What a time for her loved

Wildly, madly, I lice;

And forever from this world be free.

All miasmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwholsomc ex
halations from ho earth or watca, are preva
lent at this season. In every section subject
to tho visitation of fever and ague, or other
forms of intermittent disease, tho causes
which produce these maladies are now ac
tively at work. This, therefore, is a period of
the year when the inhabitants of such dis
tricts should prepare t lieirsystems to meet ins
unwholesome condition of the atmosphere by
a course of tonic and alterative treatment.
Foremost among the fnvigorants, recom
mended by time and exiH-rience as a means
of fortifying tho system against all epidemic
and epidemic maladies, Ftands Hostellers
. Stomach bitters, by a timely use of the
bitters, the leeblest resident of an unhealthy
soil may escape the sickness which, without
the aid of this potent ally of nature, will bo
apt to overiake the st rongest.
A Fine Thing for tho Teeth.
Fragrant SOZODONT is a composition of
tho purest and choicest ingredients of the
Oriental vegetable kinirdom. Every ingre
dient is well known to have a beneficial effect
on the teelh and gums. Its embalming or
antiseptic proivrtv and aromatic fragrance
makes it a toilet luxury. SOZOiiONT re
moves all disagreeable odors from the breath
caused by catarrh, bad teeth. Ac. It is en
tirely free from the injurious and acrid prop
erties of tooth pastes ami powders whien de
stroy the enamel. One bottle lastsix mouths.
Great Excitement in San Francisco.
The whole city in commotion, the car
drivers leaving their cars, the merchants their
stores, the workmen their shops, in fact the
whole city was alive with people running
with all speed in the direction of California

bank. A reporter ;was dispatched to ascer
tain the cause of all this commotion and
found it to bo a run on one or the principal
grocers for Donnelly's Yeast Powder.
