It Is a comiwnnd extracted from harks, roots andherbs. It is .Nature's Kemedy. It is perfectlyharmless from any had effect upon the system. Itis nourishing and strengthening. It acts directlyupon the blood. It quiets the nervons system. Itgives you good sweet sleep at night. It is a panaceafor our aged fathers and mothers, for it gives themstrength, qniets their nerves, and gives them Na-ture's sweet eleep as has been proved by many auaged person. It is the Great Blood Pnriiler. It isa soothing remedy for our children. It has relievedand cured thousauds. It is very pleasant to take;every child likes it. It relieves and cares nil dis-ease's originating from impure blood. Try theV(iETiNK Give it s fair trial for your com-plaints ; then yoa will say to yonr frioud, neighborand acquaintance, "Try it ; it has cured me."

RELIABLE EVIDEME.

The following unsolicited tcstimonhil from Rev.O. T. Walker, formerly pastor of Bowdoin SquareChurch, Boston, and at present seettled in Provi-dence, H. I., must be deemed as reliable evidence.No one should tail to observe that this testimonialis the result of two vear's experience with the useof VEGETINE in the Rev. Mr. M'alker's family,who dow pronounce it invaluable :

Providence, R. I., 164 Transit Street.H. B, STEVENS, Esq. :

I feel bound to exoresa with mv signature thehigh value 1 place upon your VEGETINE. 3iyfamily have used it for the last two years. Iunervous debility it is invaluable, and I recommendIt to ail wno may neea an invigorating, renovatingtonic. O. T. WALKER,Formerly Fastor of Bowdoin Square Church, Boston

The Bet Hvidence.The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, Pastor

of the M. E. Church, Natick, Mass., will be readwith interest by many physicians ; also those suf-fering from the same disease as afflicted the son ofthe liev. E. E. Best. No person can doubt this teatimony, tw there is no doubt about the curativepower of VEGETINE.

Natick, Mass., Jan. 1, 1S73.

MR. B. R. STEVENS:Dear Sir We have good reason for reeardinir

your VEGTIE a medicine of the greatest value.We feel assured that it has been the means of sav-ing our son's life. He is now seventeen years ofage; for the hut two years he has suffered fromnecrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection,and was so far reduced that nearly all who sawhim thought his recovery impossible. A conncil ofable physicians could give us but the faintest hopeof his rallying ; two of the numlier declaring thathe was beyond the reach of hflman remedies, thateven amputation could not save him, as he had notvigor enough to endure the operation. Just thenwe commenced giving him VEGETINE and fromthat time to the present he has been continuouslyimproving. He has lately resumed studies, thrownaway his crutches and cane, and walks about cheer-fully and strong.

Though there is some discharge from the open-ing where his limb was lanced, we have the fullestconfidence that in a little time he w ill be perfectlycured.

He has taken about three dozen Iwttles of VEG-ETINE, bnt lately nes hut little, as he declares heIs too well to be taking medicine.

Leesburg.Our town is more lively than ever

this Spring. Carpenters and masons all busy.

Messrs. Flesher & Evans, whohave a handsome grocery store, havebuilt another store-roo- which is tobe filled with dry goods by Mr. Aus-

tin Vanpelt.The store-roo- owned by Mrs.

Gage has been filled with goods byM. Redkey, from Rainsboro. Thiswill give us two new dry goods stores,making five in all. "When they all getin full blast, goods will be sold extremely low down, for cash.

We also have five groceries, thatintend to make business lively byselling cheap. What we need now,to cap the climax, is a Wholesale andRetail Grocery. G. W. Hough,grain and commission merchant, hasthe room for such a store. CannotHillsboro furnish a man to fill it withgoods?

We have, two drug stores, one astrictly temperance store, selling noliquor except in medicine alreadymixed. It is owned by Spear &

Johnson, who have had to extendtheir room on account of growingbusiness.

0ther3 are improving their property and fixing up whenever a fewdays of spring weather comes around.

In the month of June we intendto have a Pioneer Fair at this place.The particulars I will furnish hereafter.

We were sorry to hear that Hillsboro had been visited by the destruc-tive element, fire, but hope that it isnot as bad as reported.

May 3,1875. SCRIBBLER.

Sinking Springs.Fires have been raging in our vi

cinity. Hundreds of acres of woodland have been burned over, andcordwood and fencing are destroyed

The out-loo-k for farmers is somewhat dreary. Many places wheatfields will not return the seed sown,and from the best we anticipate buthalf a crop.

Fruit A general verdict of failure, blackberries excepted.

Merchants have on their Springsupplies, and sales are reasonablybrisk, in view of unfavorable pros-

pects.Mrs. C. Tener has sold her house

and lot to Mr. A. Stookey, of thefirm of J. Patton & Co.

Mr. Boabdman Dear Sir: I amthankful to t" foranswering my questions, andI am gladhe is progressing some.- In No. 2he said : "All our trust in Leaguesor Associations, or in State legisla-tion, is vain and futile.'' In No. Ahe said of the Adair law (after it wasamended by onr Democratic Legis-lature to accommodate) the liquorsellers:) "It is worthy of unqualifiedapprobation. It must commend, it-self to th good - sense of every "Siti-ze-n

who wishes society to be protected."

Sow, if our Democratic friendsshould get the control of our nextLegislature, and amend the law pro-

hibiting the sale of liquor to minorsand persons intoxicated, so as tomake it legal to sell to them unlessnotified not to do so, I am afraidthat t" would thengive the law his "unqualified appro-bation."

P. S. I am a voter, though I signmyself FLORA.

John A, Smith, of Hillsboro,for Governor

. Believing, as I do, that the successof the Republican party at the fallelection may be assured by the se-

lection of the right man to head theticket, and that a full and free andcandid discussion of the merits ofall possible candidates in advance ofthe convention will lessen the prob- -

bilities of a mistake that might provefatal to our success, I ask a place inyour columns for the name of a man,who, though much discussed, hasnot, to my knowledge, been mention-ed in the newspapers as a fit candi-date for Governor. I refer to he

l Hon. John A. Smith, of Hillsboro.Tovenumerate his many strong andadmirable' qualities would consumetoo much of my time and your space.To epitomize, I will only say what allwho know him will at once concedethat he is a strong, honest, able man.He has served in the Ohio Legisla-ture; was elected from the old SixthDistrict to Congress, andin spite of the Loudon disaffection,and a bolting Republican candidatein the field, aiding his Democraticcompetitor, Gen. Denver.. He wasin Congress during the "salary grab"session, and voted against it at everystage, and when passed, covered hisincrease back into the Treasury. Hewas a member of the late Constitu-tional Convention from HighlandCounty, and among its ablest andbest men. He is an elegant andpowerful public speaker. His life,private and official is ' without astain, and he has yet to be defeatedfor any office. -

It will not do to imagine thatOhio's available timber for Governoris wrapped in the skins of any halfdozen men. To do so would be tomiss the very best of them. Theman we want is not such, as willforce his way to prominence throughthe newspapers. He must be soughtout and brought to the front.

It would require ft iong time forthe enemy to find a vulnerable spotin the character of John A. Smith.

It will bear the most searching andcritical examination. , Like a diamondof purest water, the brighter thelight thrown upon it, the better itwill appear. Republican.

COLUMBUS, O, April 29.

To the Editor of Cincinnati Gazette;

In your issue of the 28th, I seesome one brings forward the nameof Hon. John ASmith, of HighlandCounty, fox Governor. The writerof this has had the honor of an ac-

quaintance with John A. Smith fromboyhood np, and does most heartilyconcur in all that is said in said ar-

ticle regarding him. His character,both private and public, is withoutreproach a fine scholar, rather re-

tiring and modest, though a man inwhose wisdom and judgment theRepublican party may fully confide.

In the event of his nomination andelection a result morally certainwe will have in the Gubernatorial

chair a native Buckeye, of whomtheState may well be proud. HighlandCounty, in the better days of the Re-

public, gave us one of our best Gov-

ernors, in the person of the lata ex-Go-

Trimble, and yet has the tim-

ber to sustain her former reputationI say huzzah for John Ai Smith, or

any other good Republican. Thevandals must be swept from power

in the State. The publio good de-

mands it, and, nnder the lead of a

good, reliable man, the State can,

and will, be redeemed. D.

Shavings from a Teacher'sworkshop.

April, 1875.I have just received from an es-

teemed friend in a neighboring State,a letter, containing these words:"There is a bill in the Legislature todispense with County Superintend-ents, and to limit the schools to com-

mon branches only. ' What are wecoming to T Are our teachers toknow less than they do at present?"

I am reminded by it of a districtin onr own county, where a' teacherwas wanted who could teach Geome-try and Latin; and the questionarises: To what extent may theiiigher branches be profitably intro-duced into our country schools?

I submit two propositions : '1st Our district schools have not

attained the highest degree; of effi

ciency. - "

2d. One of the greatest barriers tosuccess, nnder existing circum-

stances, is found in the number ofclasses to be instructed and the lim-

ited time allotted to each. Whatproportion of onr pupils at the dateof leaving school, can be called cor-

rect and fluent readers ? How manycan write an ordinary letter in ac-

cordance with the rules of Orthogra-phy and Syntax?

I am reminded of the teacher whosaid that Pennsylvania was called the"Keystone" State because it aboundsin keystones; and the other whoparsed the phrase "to rock in thesentence, "The anchor clung to therock with tenacity,", as a verb in theinfinitive mode ! and my convictiondeepens, that what we want is not somuch an enlarged curriculum as morethorough work in inculating the"first principles.", When one teacher must instruct

all grades from A, B, C, to Algebra,in a session of six hours, it is diffi-

cult to do justice to any.' Add to these the higher mathemat-

ics and Latin, and wh&t can one do?. When a pupil becomes thoronghlyconversant with the branches usually

taught in common schools, andwishes to pursue those of a highergrade, he can do this most success-

fully by attending an institution de-

voted to them, where he will not con-

sume time and energies that should

be given to pupils of a lower grade.We have always favored a high

standard of qualifications. - Give ourteachers the broadest culture possi

ble. But do not attempt to make

the country school do'the work of theacademy. Each has its propersphere to fill that most efficiently

should be the aim.. "Not how mnch, but how welL"

All haste is not progress.Let ns not disturb ourselves about

a Mansard roof to our educational

structure, until we have learned tolay a sure and solid foundation.

ward completing the nnfinishedwestern connections of the Chesa-

peake and Ohio Railroad, whose pro-

gress was suspended during the pan-

ic of 1873. In this policy Richmondis following the memorable example

of the City of Baltimore toward itsoreat road to the West, at a similarstage of its growth. There remainsless than 100 miles to build, of which

part is already graded, to bring Rich-

mond into direct rail connection with
