General White spoke bitterly of the treatment and criticisms to which he had been subjected at home, and In conclu sion said: ' I regret Nicholson's nek, but I regret nothing else. It may be that I am an ob stinate man, but if I had to live the last Ave months over again I would not, with that one exception, do anything but what I have done."

The surprising fact was made known that the increase this season in the num ber of tags as shown in comparison with last year at this period is no less than 35 per cent. The rale of tax is now 20 per cent., less than it was before the last Legislature made the reduction. But few violations of the fertilizer law are reported by inspcctois and the mat ters of control and analysis arc very sat isfactory.

Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. A MOST WONDERFUL CURE. A Grastn OM L4f Uvea liar Kxperleaoe. Mrs Thankful Ortlia Hurd lives in tbe beautiful village of Brighton Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was Dorn 14 the year 1812, tbe year of the great war, iu Hebron, Washington Co., New York. She came lo Michigan in 1S40, the year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re tentive memory, her mind Is full of interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early day of tbe State of Michigan and the Interesting and re markable people she has met, and tbe stirring events of which she was a wit ness. But nothing In her varied and manifold recollection are more mar velous and worthy of attention tban are her exeriences In the use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed and Is cursing the lives of thousands and marking thousands more as vic tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It is found In neary every family in one form or another. It may make Its ap pearance In dreadful running sores, In nnslphtly swellings In the neck or goitre, or In eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, It may be known as catarrh In the head, or developing In the lungs It may be, and often is, the prime cause or consumption. (Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd Says: "I was troubled for many years with n bad skin disease. My arms anj limbs would break out In a mass of sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to bwpII and became very unsightly in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions My eyes were also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood was In a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent Intervals, and I bad no appetite. I had sores also In my ears. I was In a miserable condition, I hnd tried every remedy that bad been recom mended, and doctor after doctor had fulled. One of the best physicians in tbe state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as Internal abcesses were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and bis famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any thing else, as I had no faith in it, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking it. I took a gTeat many bottles. But I steadily Improved until I became entirely well. All tho sores healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health, and I have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady of 83 years Is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good healtli since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA Is tho greatest Wood purifier and the best medicine In the wide world, both for scrofula and as a spring medicine." This remarkably interesting old lady did not lok to be more than sixtv. and she repeated several times, "I believe my life was saved by JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA."
