Fred ordered him out of the house;
and not complying with the request,
but making a request in return, he re
ceived a tap on the head with a lemon
ade puncher. The next morning Mr.
F. had him arrested for drunkenness
and for disturbing the peace, which
cost the young man about $12. He
then returned the compliment by hav
ing Mr. F. arrested for assault and
battery. But the judge thought
Fred, was justifial le in keeping
order in his own house, making an
additional cost of about $30, which
drained Mr. B.'s 'once fat pooket-book'
to such an extent, that he was satisfied
to go and "sin no more."

A Handsome Income for an Euergetie
Lady or (Gentleman.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just completed and are now
introducing to the pubP.c a Handsome
ly nnished Family Scale, an article
that hag always been needed in every
household, and in a communication
addressed to the publishers of this
paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. It is very seldom that a new
article steps so suddenly into universal
favor. Housekeepers are loud in its
praise.it is always ready, there are
no weights to get lost or to be huated
up, is reliable, and will not get out of
order. lue description of them is a
handsome base surmounted by a col
umn in which works a spiral spring so
scieniincany adjusted as to weigh any
imng up to twelve pounas with per-
lect accuracy, on the top of the column
is the platform on which the articles
to be weighed are placed, and they
have an adjustable indicator so that
you can tank the tare of any vessel
you may use in weighing giving you
the exact net weight. Housekeepers
at once see their value in weighing
fruits, sugars and other ingredients
used in preserving, cooking etc., or in
testing the weights of purchases from
others.
The scales are made of all brass, are
highly polished and are finished in a
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
who sees them.
It seems to ug that nearly every
family iu this county will want one.
and is certainly a rare opportunity for
some smart and energetic party to pick
up quite a nice little income during
the next few months, the Company has
agents in other counties who are easily
making from 85.00 to S6.00 per day
selling them, and- we would recom
mend parties in need of employment

The Death Rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully
iiarming, the average of life being les
sened every year, without any reason
able cause, death resulting generally
from the most insignificant origin. At
this season of the year especially, a
cold is such a common thing that in
the hurry of everyday life we are apt
to overlook the dangers attending it
and often find too late that a Fever or
ung trouble has already set in.
Thousands loose their lives in this way
every winter, while had Boschee's Ger
man Syrup been taken, a cure would
have resulted, and a large bill from
a doctor been avoided. For all diseas
es of the Throat and Lungs, Boschee's
German Syrup has proven itself to be
the greatest discovery of the kind in
medicine. Every Druggist in this
country will tell you of its wonderful
effect. Over 930,000 bottles eold last
year without a Bingle failure known.
