City Printer —Official Paper
LARGEST CITY* CIRCCUTWN.
■! . J 'A
THURSDAY MORNING Jon. 50, 1867
scissoK s.
—While Anna E. Dukinaon is lying
extremely ill in Illinois, her Radical
friends are lying well In Washington.
—Sumner and Wade have fallen out.
The proverb about the prospect of
some other people getting their dues is
trite.
—The Louisville Democrat tlnnks
the election of contrabands in Massn
chusetts exhibits a niggardly disposi
tion.
—A Western editor says: “A corres
pondent asks whether the battle of
Waterloo occurred before or after the
commencement of the Christian era.”
We answer it did.
—An Irishman who found on the
street a hill of fare of a recent dinner at
the Kirkwood House, Washington, dis
covered therein the information of
“oysters cooked in champagne,' as one
of the dishes served. ‘‘Bedad,” says
Pat, drawing his sleeves across his
thirsty mouth, “I wish I was an oyster.”
—A captain of a small boat on the
Potomac, the other day, got very drunk,
and fell into the river. Not knowing
that he was iu the Potomac, but be
lieving that he had fallen into the hold
of the vessel, aud that it had tilled with
water, he cried out, “Come her* •
Jemmy, aud steer the boat while I ban
her out.”
—Kratsalaat’s wife discovered her
old hen sitting in the back yard, and
“bust up her nest.” Soon after, the
poor wife came in much excited, and
said : “My dear Kratsalaat, I took the
eggs from ‘Browno,| and she now has
gone and sot onto an o and meat ax.”
“Let der set,” said the billious old
fellow, “it she sets on an ax maybe
she’ll hatchet."
•—The Unionville (S. C.) Times
matches the tale of our country friend
who wanted Bibles “with large type,
because they had more information in
them," with that of one Jerry Frees in
his parish, “who declined to buv a Bible
from a Colporteur, ‘because the next
edition might have something new in it.’
Jerry had great confidence in Yankee
ingenuity and enterprise.”
The same paper is anxious that the
inventor of the buggy plow, should fix
“the thing up with two seats, so that tLe
old woman could join and take her
knitting along. We don’t like sulkeys
—we don't."
A Shake Stohy. A Mississippi
steamboat man vouches for the follow
ing to the Vicksburg Times:
On the Tallahathie river, not long
since, an enormous rattlesnake fouud a
setting turkey hen on her nest, and
swallowed her in exactly two minutes
and forty seconds by the watch, aud
then swallowed the eggs, twenty-one in
number, three at a time, without crack
ing a single Rhell; after which he imme
diately relapsed into that state ot tor
pidity peculiar to Tallahathie river
snakes after a big dinner. Anxious to
see the denoument of this snake affair,
the owner of this unfortunate fowl
allowed his snakeship to go unmolested,
who, coiling himself in a fence corner,
remained there quietly for nine days
with his mouth wide open, when the
eggs, having finished the process of in
cubation, the juvenile turkeys stepped
out of his month, one at a time, hut as
each one put his foot on terra firma it
was swallowed again by this 2:40 snake
before it had time to look at the sun.
All this happened about six weeks ago.
and as soon as the last turkey was dis
posed of, the rattlesnake was caught and
put into a barrel of 205 per cent, alco
hol, aud on every clear day those young
turkeys can yet be heard chirpping.
A Very Remarkable Family.—
Perhaps it is not generally known, snys
The Montezuma (Iowa) Republican,
that venerable gentleman, known us the
‘‘oldest inhabitant,” resides in our
country. His name is William Prosser.
He resides in Washington township,
about four miles from Grinnell, and is
now in his ninety fourth year. He was
one of the first settlers in this part of
the county, and from present apperances
bids fair to be a resident of the count?
for some years longer. Mr. Prosser
served as an artilleryman during the
war of 1812, and was in the battle of
Lundy’s Lane and Fort Erie. lie is
still quite vigorous, and will walk three
or four miles with case. He has never
received a pension, but uow thinks of
applying for one. His mother’s family
were not long lived, but on his father’s
side they lived to a great age. His
father's mother was married twice, and
her second husband’s name was Van
Camp. They lived in North Hampton,
Pennsylvania. She lived Io the age of
one hundred and fourteen years, and
raised to manhood and womanhood
twenty children 1 Among them were
three pairs of twins 1 tbe last pair being
born after she were sixty years of age I
Now, if anybody’s grandmother can
beat that, just let them speak out. The
old lady evidently had a penchant for
twins, which appeared to run into old
_ w:i3 undoubtedly a descendant
ot iilrs. Sarah Abraham, who is spoken
of in ancieut history as being the happy
mother of little Isaac in the uiuuty first
year of her age.

PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
KILLER
STILL TRIUMPHANT !
And after a thorough trial
by innumerable living witnosscs, has
proved itself to be
THE MEDICINE OF THE AGE.
Although there have been many medici
nal preparations brought before tho public
since tho first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer, and largo amounts
expended in their introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world ns the best
family medicine ever introduced. As on
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
tbo sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as the proprietors have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank if. now holds among the great number
ot preparations of the present time. The
efiect of tbe Pain Killer upon the patient,
when token internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Choloia, Dys
entery, and other affections of tho system,
has been *ruly wonderful, and has won for
it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never bo forgotten. Its success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, has secured for it such a host of
testimou}', as an almost infallible remedy,
that it will be handed down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to directions, are certain. You
have only to be sure that you buy tho
genuine article and adhere to the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuino Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with the words
Davis’Vcgttablo Pain Killer blown in the
glass; and with two steel engrnved labels
on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, the origiunl inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
hand. None others can bo relied upon us
genuine. Prices of bottles 12fc cents, 25
cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively.
Valuable Medicine —We presume no
medical preparation ever offered to tho pub
lic has been more thoroughly tested than
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. Thou
sands of persons, were they called upon to
do so, would cheerfully testify that they
have used it for various ills, with the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own
knowledge that an immense amount of suf
fering has been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, save
no pains or expense iu order to satisfy the
public. Being strictly honorable men, they
observe tho utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer
Tho materials of which it is composed are
carefully selected—nono but the best quality
being used. By these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tiujjed. In view of these facts, we are by
no means surprised to learn that Messrs.
Davis & Son’s sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. While we congratulate
our friends generally that so valuablo a
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, we must be pdrmittod to
rejoice at tho well-merited success of its
liberal and enterprising proprietor.—Provi
