A recess for fifteen minutes was then had for rest and sociability, After recess Miss Snyder and Miss Cook were appointed Captains and chose their warriors for the bloodless fray. Skirmishing commenced with the small werds, and a picket here and there was wounded, but the conflict soon became warm as the heavy artil lery was brought into line, and officers and privates went down by the "doz zen," until Miss Cook's side was en tirely decimated, with the exception of Miss Cole, who gallantly stood to her post and continued the unequal fray, but finally was compelled to give way to superior numbers, and Miss Snyder was declared the victor.

For many years we have made two medicines suited to the ailments of a vast class of sufferers. Thousands of cures have been made by them, and, in fact, the word failure could not be conpled with them. But within the last two years counterfeits of our med icine have sprung up, dangerous in their close imitation of our Trade Mark. To secure the people we have placed upon each genuine, box of if olloway's Ointment the fac simile of the signa ture of our agent, Mr. Jes. Havdock. To counterfieit is felony. We shall re lentlessly pursue any one who imitates this with the utmost vigor of the law. We most earnestly beg that the great mass of the American people will aid us in our efforts to protect their health, and help us in our task of bringing these most unprincipled men to the bar of justice. Uniformly refuse to pur chase Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr. Jos. Ilaydock's signature is attached to each box of PilU or pot of Ointment. and the end will soon be reached.

EXPECTORATION Is act of discharging from the throat and chest tter that arises from colds, instead of scatter, irand distributing it through the blood, and poisoning it. By thus assisting th Lungs, Throat and Chest, Dr. Greene's Expectorant cures Coids, Coughs. Asthma. Bronchitis. Croup, Dyptheria, Whooping Cough and all affections of the lungs. Throat and Chest, and the first stages of Consumption and Typhoid Fever. Its qualities are Expectorant. Sedative Tectorial and Alterative. It does not stop the cough as most preparations do, by their anodyne and as tringent effects, retaining the mucuous and of fending matter in the blood and causing pe r ma rent disease of the lungs, but it cures by loos ening the cough ant assisting the lungs and throat to throw off the offending matter which causes the cough, thus scientifically making the cure perfect. It at once alleviates the most dis tiessfng cold on the lungs, soothes and allays ir ritation, and breaks up Vhooping Cough. No better remedy can be found for Asthma. Bron chitis. Croup and all affections of the Throat, Lungs and Chest, and if continued in use will subdue anv tendency to Consumption.
