AGEXTS FOn THE EXTERP1USE.l)c Ukckln vgutcrpriijc. T II E. HOLIDAY PRESENTS.Poitlar. It is now stated, remarks the

Detroit Union, that Grant is seriouslythinking of importing a little enteric fevertor the use of himself and the Radical ma-

jority in Congress. He has been readingof the sudden popularity which the Princeof Wales has acquired by having it around,and thinks it would be a wise Administra-tion measure to use a little of it himself.It is hoped that the plan will be carriedout. A little tht.eric. judiciously adminis-tered to the Administration, with fatal re-sults, would be the most popular measurethat could be adopted.

Tat: Conckkt. inc. concert wnicn wasgiven last Wednesday evening was not aswell attended as the merits of the enter-

tainment deserved.. The weather was ly

unfavorable, which probably wasihe cause of such a small attendance.'1 he singing throughout was most excel-lent, and gave genera! satisfaction lo thosepresent. We have seldom hctvrd a morebeautiful selection of musie. and bettersni;g. It would be invidious in us tosp uk o( any singer in person where alldid so well. The concert will be repeatedagain this evening, with a change ot pro-gramme, when we hope a full" house willbe present. YVo learn that "Dad's aMillionaire" will be repealed, and if anvour citizens desire a hearty laugh, theyshould not fail to attend. Tickets can behad at the posiotlice and at Meyers? store;admi.-sio-n filly tvn:s. Let there be a lullhouse.

A IScriynml riilul Uistasc.Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the

brain are too intimately allied for the one tosull'er without the other, so that dyspepsiaand despondency are inseparable. It maj beadded, too, that irritation of the stomach isalmost invariably accompanied by irritationof the temper.

The invigorating and trr.r.quilizing opera-

tion of Ilo.-- tt tter's bitters is most power-fill- y

developed in cases of iiKpgcsti .11. Thefirst effect of this agreeable tonic is comfort-ing and encouraging. A ini'd glow pervadesthe system, the chronic unea-iues- s iu the re-

gion of the stomach is lessened, nd thenervous restlessness which characterizesthe disease is abated- - This improvement isnot transient. It is not succeeded by ihereturn ot the old symptoms "ith superaddedforce, as is always' the case when unmedi-cated- "

stimulants are given for the complaint.Each dos seems to impart a perman-n- t ac-

cession of healthful in vigoration. Put thisis not all. Tlie aparient and anti-biliou- s

properties of the preparation are scarcelys.condary in importance to i s tome virtues.If there i's an overflow or bile, the jccretionis soon brought within proper limits, and ifthe bilarv organ is inert find torpid it istoned and rfijalutc-d-. The etlect upon thedischarging Wans is. equally salutary, andin cases of constipation the cathartic actioni just sulhciert to produce the desired re-

sult rraduallv and without pain. The Hit-

ters also promote healthy evaporation fromthe surJiiee, wdboh is particularly desirableat this season when sudden spells of raw,unpleasant weather are apt to check thenatural perspiration and produce congestionof the liver, coughs, ami uno. 1 he ,tst

rr.omuii.Y a Hoax An account hasIkhmi published, in the Portland papers ofthe arrest of a citizen of this place, lastFriday, by a detective from Wisconsin.The s'ory". as ;iven by these tapers, isbadly mixed up. and gives no particulars,neither the name of the detective or parlyarrested. In our opinion the whole mat-

ter is a grand hoax, perpetr'ed on thelocal."' of the Portland press. We haveinquired far and near to ascertain if anyprominent c t'..vii has mysteiiously disap-peared, and cannot hear of any. and iithe party arrested hail been known at allin town, the arrest and abduction couldnot have been made without it becomingpublic It is undoubtedly a soil on some-body, but on whom we are at a loss toknow, as we took the bait, as readily asothers and devoted considerable time to"work up' tlie tacts.

It, ap-pears that the Railroad Company has located a new town between Centervilleand Hiilsbor i, for the purpose ot break-ing down bo'h these towns, and forcingthem to the new town holongin;; to iheCompany. The enterprising citizens ofthese towns can't see it. in that light, andpropose to show that they are independentui' the railroad. This road will be ofgreat value ! the people of Washingtoncount 5 . and to Portland, as the farmerswill haul their products to (he m trkot.We wish the enterprise ihe best of success.

Goon. Mr. Wm.Ihtlow has finally over-come Pen. JIol!adays opposition to hishaving a mail left at his oiliee. and now adai y mail is carried from Aurora to his

law. This will probably hist un'i' r'terthe election, when the powers that be willhave, the office abolished.

Sink. The Day tori was beached lastSaturday above Pock Island, it havingbeen ascertained fh at a hole had beenknocked in her bottom. The freightnot damaged, and after the hole was fixedshe came down into the basin on Sunday.

CoMri;ousi:.--Fio- m a contemporary welearn that the several adverse claimantsto rights in the Caruthers estate of thiscity have agreed upon the general termsot compromise, and th;lt they are now ou-traged in settling the details. It is said inthis connection that the property, or rath-er the claims to it. will pass into'the handsof a foint stock company. Buthihx- -

We are informed by reliable authoritythat no compromise has as yet been effect-ed, but negotiations looking to that endare pending.

Wiit make two bites at the cherry?Congress hesitates over the question "ofamnesty, and thinks to compromise by re-storing to citizenship all but a lew speci-fied lasses of ex-rebel- s. Is it rot timethat, amnesty be general and impartial ?

We believe this to be the sentiment of thecountry, and there seems lo be no need oflonger postponing what must finally cometo pass universal amnesty. X. Y. Trib-une.

form Triumph in Uoston.

Referring to the election of Gaston(Democrat) in Poston for Mayor over theopposkion or Republican candidate, thePoston I'l-s- l has the following:

M n or Gaston":! on the basisof tin- - reform platform laid down last year,is a desert ed triumph of these sterlingprinciples in local Government which arethe surest guaranty of steady municipalprogress and prosperity. It is "a victoryo! the citizens alone, released from partytrammels and wholly clear of party asso-ciations. They planned this scheme ofreform in adminis. ration one year ego,urged to it by the wasteful and corruptinginfluences that had effected an alarminglodgment in the city government ; andthis year they have been but firmly con-sisse- ni

with their U r.ner purpose, and coii-iirtue- d

their last year's action by a m ijoi-ii- y

decisive enough to have settled ihequestion of" beyond further dispute.

He was elected not to operate as acheck on local growth, but to so dis-

creetly administer municipal affairs thatthat growth uiiht go on without needlessuasre and corruption. And on that samep'alform has his re election been triumph-antly secured. Last year's work is vindi-cated. It is done in Ihe interests of Postonalone. The citizens at large are responsi-ble for it. Part isanship and jobbery havealike been made to retire with iheir pre-tentions. We have the certainty of a re-

form mayor for another year, equippedii:h tlie valuable experience of Hie pasttwelve months, and .instructed afresh in thewishes of the people. It is. I nrt hei mure,with a feeling of genuine pride that Postonregards her p reseat chief magistrate, who,by his superior qualifications ol intellect,training, and personal character, holds upthe office to the respect of citizens andstrangers.

D::.moo::ati(j NKW.siwrF.r.s. We take thefollowing sensible remarks on the supportof Democratic newspapers, from the A'bantDemocrat :

It is ihe duty of Democrats in the coun-try to support their county Democraticpaper, if able to take but one Dem-

ocratic paper, let ihat be the one pub-fishe- d

in your county. IS able to take oth-

er papers, give proferanee to those mostearnest iu defence of Democracy mostearnest to attack Republicanism mostdetermined in behalf of the people, andtor ihe protection of their earnings.

It is ihe dnt;i of Democrats to supportDemocratic- papers--thos- e papers thatspeak out openly, boldly ; but it is not theduty ot Democrats to support paperswhich are timid, undecided, and utterlyworthless. Follow not the bugie thatgives uncertain sounds. Let Democraticnewspapers be properly patronized andDemocratic victories would be more fre-

quent and more easily achieved. He whodont;ts the power of the press, would Jowell to study the effect of the .great circulation which Radical pipers have hadamong the peop ail over this country,and he who doub's that the more exten-sively circulated Pemoeiatic newspapersbecome, the belter wi ! be the prospectsof the Democracy, can have but little faithiti Democracy or ia the intelligence of thepeop 'e.

H. G. ON" G II A NT. The New York Trib-civi- l

u.ie in an article on service reformsays : " Gen. Grant hr.s been adding dein oralizatlon lo a service that was badenough before, by an unprecedented num-

ber of removals for reasons of personalpo! t cs. instituting wlhin his own party,a rigorous fractional proscription.
