DR. TUTT'S
EXPECTORANT.
This unrivaled preparation has per
formed some of the most astonishing
cures that arc recorded in the annals of
history. Patients suffering for years from
the_ various diseases of the Lungs, after
trying different remedies, spending thou
sands of dollars in traveling and doctor
ing, have, by the use of a few bottles,
entirely recovered their health.
“WON’T GO TO FLORIDA ”
DR. TUTT: NeW TOrk ’ AU|rJ,t *’ lB7!L
Dear Sir When in Aiken, last winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit
from it than anything I ever took. lam so well that
I will not go to Florida next winter as I intended.
Bend me one dozen bottles, by express for some !
friends. ALFRED CUSHINO, !
123 West Thirty-first Street- ‘
Boston, January 11,1874.
This certifies that I have recommended the use of
Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant for diseases of the lungs
for the past two years, and to my knowledge many
bottles have been used by my patients with the hap
piest results. In two oases where it was thought con
firmed consumption had taken place the Expectorant
effected a cure. „ B. H. SPRAGUE, M.D.

Her Dear Be|»arled.
About twenty yesrs ago there lived
in Central Michigan a curious old
benedict named Dodsworth. At the
i age of fifty he married a girl of
twenty, and when the burden of six
ty years bore him down his wife waa
only half his age. Dodeworth war.
noted for hi* peculiarities, but the cli
max came when he found himself on
his dying bed. He was worth about
$30,000, and he hadn't a blood rela
; ‘‘ve living so fsr as he knew. He
wanted to leave his propeity to his
wi(h, as the pair had lived very hap
p ly, but yet he could not leave it with
out displaying some of bie peculiari
ties in the provisions of the will
Some old men display a mean spirit
when making their wills and draft in
a provisions cutting the wife off with
a shilling if she marries again. The
old man wasn't of that, stamp. His
young wife was good looking, viva
cious anif found of society, and it was
folly to suppose she would mourn for
her ‘late departed'any great length of
time. Therefore Mr. 1) .dsworth
turned heel on the usual custom and
said in his will;
'ln case my wife Celia does not take
unto herself another husband within
thirteen months from date of mv bu
rial. ail bequests otherwise made in
this will are to revert ‘o the State of
Michigan, to be used for buildin r and
furnishing a home for old womeo.“
Whether Ce'ia waj pleased o- dis
pleased at this piovisiou deponent
suith not, but the old man had not
been under the sod mors thuu six
mon he when the-, widow was sn.d to
be looking out for aji ther ma . It
i was singular for the dying Doits
worth to urge his wite so mai.y -gam,
it was silt more singular that he
should dcsiie the ceremony o he per
formed under the lo.iuv/tig ci.cuiti
stances, viz:
‘Aud i is made incumbent on raid i
e ta Dodsworth, that in taking anew

and gro< in on the main floor, and the
pitnsipal parties to the ceremony

A Willing Widow.
The widow announced her i. temion
to faithfully obey in spirit and lettei,
the will was p r obated, and the twelfth
month had scarcely passed before she
issued an invitation for the public to
attend a wedding at the big barn.—
Just who the groom was to be no one
could jioßsibly assert, as the widow
had been keeping company with a
widower, a bachelor and two young
ui-'fi, and as far as any outsider could
jictire. she loved one as well as the
nt"ei. Beiug good-looking and talen
ted, and having a fortune behind her,
it was not si range that she sbou'd
have a number ot suitors. She seem
ed to enter into the spirit of the affair
with great z-.st as also did the min
ister, and Hi further mystify the people
in attendance, the bride entered tho
barn alone at oue door, the groom
alone at the other, and no one knew
that the adnister had arrived until his
voice was heaid in the stables.
Hound iu the Dark.
There were at least 200 people | res
ent and each one understood that
even the striking of a match would
break the will. Many jokes were
pasrp’d aud consid rable contu-ion ex
Isted. But at length the minister
announced that all was ready. The
ceiemony w as gone through with, and
at its conclusion, the affair having
been a ‘j.rolound success,’ a rush was
made lor the bride : she was kissed
by n tiUiKired men and then earned
home, a distance ol a mile and a halt,
in a I ig arm chair.
IV lie I- llie Husband 1
Now cornet the rysteiy. When
the la y was set down at hei owt door
.he widownr, the bachelor, and the
wo voung nieu each claimed to he
Lei true aud lawful husband. None
ol the crjiwd could sav who was the
lucky man. the minis er was at sea.
and the bride herself srati ed to have
doubts, l'h® widower was the man
ot her choice, hut in the oontusicn lie
could have been hustlod aside, and
he did affirm that an attempt was
made to choke him and get him out
of the barn. The bachelor vowed
(hat she bad promised to marry him,
as also did both young men, and each
one was sure that he held the widow's
plump band and was legally married
to her. The lour men had a fight
but that didu't mend matters. The
crowd ducked two of them in a creek,
but that didn't decide the question,
A Compromise.
Just how it would have terminated
had not the widower been a man of
nerve no one can tell, as the other
three had already appealed to the law,
when the widower stepped in and took
his place as husband and settled with
the others for $2,000 each.
One of tiie young men, now ever
forty years old, and having all the
wife he wants fshe weighs two hun
dred and thirty pounds) is living in
this city, und, during an interview
had with him to day, he solemnly and
earnestly assured your correspondent
that he was legality married to the
widow Dodsworth that night in the
big barn- Another of the parties lives

A man who looked like a country
man was lately walking in the street
with a pacl.et in his hand, sealed ad
dressed, with a memorandum, that it
contained a thousand dollars in bank ;

asked him what lie was :o iking for.

packet iu his inquirer’s hands aud
requested that he would read the
address, as be was unable to do so
and nad lergot'.en it The reply was
made an agreecble surprise Why
this letter is for me ! I have been
expecting it for u long while. The
messenger, upon this, deed a dollar
for the carriage of the packet, which i
was readily paid. The new possessor i
ol the packet hastened to an abscure 1

breaking the seal, he found nothing

The Exuet Truth.
Two young masons were building a
brick wall—the front wall of a high
house. One of them, in placing a
brick, discovered that it was a little
thicker on one sids than the other.
His companion advised him to
throw it out. “It will make your
wall untrue, Ben,” said he.
‘Pooh 1’ answered Ben, ‘what differ
ence will such a trifle as that make?
You are too particular.'
‘My mother,' replied he, 'taught
me that the ‘truth is truth,' and ever
so little an untruth is a lie—and a lie
is no trifle.'
•O,' said Ben, ‘that's all very well,
but I am not lying and haw no inten
tion of doing so.'
‘Very true, but you makeyaur wall
tell a lie, and 1 have somewhere read
that a He in one's work, like a lie in
his charactor, will show itself sooner
oi later, and bring harm if not ruin.'
‘I ll risk it iu this case,' answered
Ben, and he winked away, laying
more bricks and carrviug tire wall up
higher, till the close of ihe day, when
they quit and went home
The rrxt morning they went to re
sume their work, when, behold ! the
lie had wrought out the result of all
lies. The wall getting a little slant
from the untrue brick, had got more
and more untrue as it got higher, and
at last, in the night, had toppled over,
obliging the mansions to do all their
work again,
Just so with ever so little an untruth
in your chaructei, it grows more and
more iiDtrue, if you permit it to re
main, till it brings sorrow and ruin.
Tell, act, and live, the exact truth al
ways.

A letter to the Gazette, from Ohes*
tertown, Kent county, gives the story
of a terrible chastbo'jient inflicted
upon Dr Joseph Lot, physician of
th t village. The Doctor had Le’.rayed
a girl named Kate Taylor. On the
night of the 19lh of February the Doc
tor was at home conversing with Mr.
and Mrs. Pryor, when a kuock was
heard at the dm,r. Mrs. Pryor re.-pend
ed, and four m«n enteted. Two of
the party are believed to have been
William Taylor aud a tiiend named
Jo-epb Turbit. Oue of the men in
quired it Dr Lot Was in, and received
an affirmative reply. The entire par
ty then rushed into the hall and
passed into the parlor. Lot's face
blanched with t -rror as cocked revol
vers were jointed toward him. He
offered no resistaoce, and was hand
cuffed. After beiDg handcuffed Lot
was gagged, placed iu a light wagon,
and borne rapidly away. The wagon
was driven to an unfrequented woods
a short distance outside of the vil
lage.
Lot was then partly sfrpped of bis
clothing and informed that tie could
take his choice of dying by his own
hand or of receiving a terrible cas
tigation. He chofie the letter. Young
Taylor was assigned to do the whip
ping, and had provided for the pur
pose a uew whalebone whip. The
victim was securely tied, and the whip
apjdied vigorously until it was com
pletely worn out, and the blood was
streaming from the Doctor's back,
which was lacerated in a shocking
manner. It is reported that he was
then struck on the head with the
butt end ol the whip and knocked in
sensible, in which condition be was
left on the ground. After the aasuil
ants teturned to Sassafras an alarm
was given, and a party started in
search of the Doctor and removed
him to Mrs, Pryor's residence. His
wounds were thougl t at first to be of
! a very dangerous character, but were
afterwards found not to be as severe
as at first apprehended.
On Thursday night last, in the town
ot Thomasville, Davidson county, N.
C., wlrile William Thomas and a Miss
Force were before the altar for the
purpose of being married, more than
half ol the ceremony having been per
formed, the bride dropped dead before
the ceremony was concluded, a vic
tim of heart disease.

told a story of an ambitious Yankee

Like a certain man wov’e read of, he
gave SIOO for the influence of a

most willingly parted with the money.
But when the returns came in he
found be had but three votes. He at
once rushed to his triend ‘SeO here,
I’ve but three votes !' ‘Have you ?’
was the reply. ‘Let me see. You
voted for yourself, and I voted for
you, but who, in thunder, was the
other fool ?'
‘George ! George !’ said the wife of
a Marietta street man the other night,
waking him from his slumbers. —
Whadder you want?' he growled.
'Oh, listen, George ! I'm sure I hear
something.' Lernme alone, Maria.—
But I do hear something—l know I
do. What does she sound like ?
George, it sounds like a watch tick

the brute, and then turned over and
began to snore. Maria has gone
