Crampton's Imperial Soap is the Dost
Cramptou's Imperial Soap is the Best.
HIS hOAP is manufactured from pure
A materials; and as it contains a latge per
centage of Vegetine Oil, is warrantee fully
tqual to the impor ed Castile Soap, and a
the’ same time contains all the washing and
elensing properties of the celebrated German
and
French
Laundry Soaps.
It is therefore recom
mended for use in . the
Laundry, Kitchen ft Bath Room,
and tor general household purposes;
also for Printers, Painters, Engineers,
and Machiuis's, as it will remove spots of ink
Grease, Tar, Oil, Pain!, etc , from the hands.
The Huntingdon Monitor of April sth,
1877, pronounces this Soap the best in the
market, as follows;
Reader, we don't want von to suppose
that this is an adveitisement, and pass it
over unheeded. Read : t We want to direct
your attention to the advertisement of
“Crampton's Imperial Soap." Having used
it in <>ur office for 'he past year, we can re
commend it as the best quality of soap in
use. 11. is a rare thing to get a Soap that will
thoroughly dense printing ink from the
hands, as also from linen; but Crampton'
laundry soap will do it, and we know where
of we speak. It is especially adapted for
printers, punters, engineers and machinists,
as it will remove grease f all descriptions
from the hands as well as clothes, with little
labor. For general household purposes it
cannot be excelled.
Manufactured only by
CRAMPTON BROTHERS,

“About f. r'y partridges and six

“I)o you hunt, as a ; rofes.ionf”
“Yes sir. It is my regular bust’; ess.
A pretty good business too. I nve’age
30 to 50 partridges a day, and n*ver

killed as many as 185 pnrtiidgos in

plentiful as they were then, however.
They are more plentifnl for the last
year or two than they have been ; but
just after the war they swarmed over
the whole bounty.”

A night or two since a citizen of
Charlotte avenue, who lias a wood
pile in the alley concluded to sit up
for a few hours and see if lie could
detect the person or persons who had
stolen a dozen sticks the night previ
ous. About eleven o’clock a bow
backed colored man came up the al-
ley, looked around in a cautious wajq
and then took a stick of wood 00
each shoulder and started off.
“I’ve got you, you thief!” cried thfi
citizen, as he dashed out.
“So you hez —so you hez,” replied
the man, as he let the sticks drop;
“but jes wait a hetle afore you fires
off any pistols. Does you know what
I was gwino tei do wid dis wod?”
“Yes, I do! You were stealing it!”

Griffin News. We have just seen &
letter from a gentleman in Texa c , ad
dressed to a kinsman of his, who is a
well known citizenof Spalding county.
Tliis gentleman was born and.real
el in Gobi gin, and lived in this state
about forty years. At the begining
of tho war fie was worth 830,000. —-
Soon nfter the wai, he, with his wife
removed from Talbot county to Texas
His wife soon t>< came sick and died.
His! popeity was lost; and from affl'i
ence he descended to the lowestdepths
of proverty. At this stage of life, he
wipes for help to his kinsmen in
Georgia, in a letter dated
city, Eastland county, Texas, Septem
ber 11, 1877. From tliis letter we
make a short verbatim oxtract: “I am
hardly able to work. I borrowed a
wagon arid carried my family eighty
miles east to pickootl'*n for breed. I
om now in E s'laud City,- oti iny way
hack to my family to try to help them
pick cotton for bread. We had a kill
ing frost or the 1 tth of June, that
killed our corn. I had nine acres in
corn; it was promising. I will about
make tho seed I planted. I have a
wife and four childfen (he had marri
ed a secuxid time) and nothing lor
;h n m to eat. 1 now ask for a little
help, if you please; my children will
perish without help ”

Many men now living can remem
bor what a figure John C. Fremont
or,co cut in American afftirs. He
married the favorite daughter of
Thomas H. Benton, a woman of gen
ius and courage. Iltffearly in the
day became a popular idol. He was a
Genoral in tl.o United States army and
a Candida's for the Presidency of the
United S'ates. His latter days have
been clouded by misfortunes and neg
lect, and now he is so poor in pocket
that the most treasured relics of his
household had to he sold, the other
day, for what they would bang. The
amount real. Zed was little enough.
That a man who was nice so e nspic
uoils in the affairs of this countiy
shoti'd he reduced to almost beggary,
is an uncommon *liing, and teaches
an important lesson. Little did the
proud daughtei id Benson dream, a
few years since, that her famous bus
hand would become an outcast, so to
speak, and that sho and her family
would he confionted with actual want.'
And yet such lias ready been the
case. Gen. Fremout has outlived his
usefulness to men and parties, he lags
superfluous on the stage, and his fami
ly gather about him as the ivy sur
rounds a ruin. Well is it lor them if
they have learned to rely upon a
Higher Power, for the powers of this
Woild have deserted them in their se
verest need. — Chroniceil Sf Constitution
