A cow was noticed yesterday , gazing longibgly and ' wistfully at the - green pas tures on the western'side of the' river, and finally she went down to the shore,- sought but a convenient spot, plunged into the river and swam across. Arriving on the other side, she vainly tried to find a place suitable for landing, and despairing of do ing so, finallyfgave up the effort and started back. By the . time she had reached the middle of the river, on her return trip, ex haustion completely overcame her and she turned over on her side, apparently resign ed to her fate. Fortunately at this critical moment 'a boat came along, and she was towed to the' shore, when she was taken to the city pound by a member of j the police force, where she now awaits a .claimant : That natch. - ::s!:r-- . :nii ' It will be observed that the rifle, match Wednesday was managed ; with consum mate skill by the winners.

SCHSNCK'S SEA WKBD TONIC.-In the at mosphere experienced here daring the summer months, jthe lethargy produced by the heat takes away the desire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating dis-,: eases. In order to keep a aatural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dys pepsia It is Invaluable.' Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanent ly cored by the drugs which are generally employed for that pnrpose." The Sea Weed Tonic ia its na ture is totally different from such drags. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her defi ciencies. The tonic in its nature se much resembles the gastric juice that it is almost identical with that fluid. .The . gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a' healthy condition of the body causes ;the food to be digested, and when this juice la not jexcreted-in sufficient quantities, indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic Bold by all Droggista. , . NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Wew Flour. I 3 IMew Flour.
