One of the suits on the docket is a Jibel case of A. A. Stockton, leader of the local opposition, against the Telegraph news- paper, which likened him to Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold, and which plaintiff alleges implied that he had left the grit party for a cash consideration.

We have two Stores in one, both loaded to their utmost capacity with goods suitable for Xmas Presents, and the best of it is that all is New, not old, shopworn, faded or old-fashioned. The prices are as low as good buying for eash will allow us to make them. See our Ten Cent and Twenty-five Cent Tables—great value. We believe that it is quite safe to say that our Store is now, ana will be right up to Christmay, the best place in the city to buy Xmas Presents. Already the tide of trade is setting in.

ARE YOUR HENS LAYING?
It is a fact but little known to people who keep poultry, that the first part of a hen which becomes disarranged on the approach of disease, is the ovaries, or egg producing organs. Excess of fat, expos- ure to wet and cold, poor condition, shed- ding feathers, improper food, want of ex- ercise, or lack of certain elements in the food to develop the embryo egg, will all produce the same effect and cause the hen to stop laying. It cannot be laid down as an “ironclad” rule, that when a hen ceases laying it is a_ positive syinptom she willsoon be sick; but itean be stated with the utmost assurance that something is wrong or she would not cease laying for weeks and often months. The annual egg product per hen, in this coun- try, ranges from three to eight dozen each. Now, this is by far too small. There is no earthly reason why every hen that lays at all should not be made to lay from ten to fifteen dozen eggs each per year, and continue todo se for several years, We ksow of; ates who get eggs at that rate ia midwinter in our cold climate.
How to get eggs in cold weather inter- ests every person who keeps hens. Mr.
Charles Raymond, of New Canaan, Conn., writes under date of March 8, 1887, “I had excellent results from feeding Sheri- dan’s powder to my seventeen hens. In December they laid 224 eggs: in January, 177; and in February, 241, People around here who have three and four times. the
hens that I have, (and who did not use Sheridan’s Powder) did not get one quarter as many eggs.”
I. 8. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House Street, Boston. Mass., (theenly makers of Sheridan’s Condition Powder to make hens lay) will send postpaid, to any person two 25 cent packs of Powder and a néw Poul- try Raising Guide, for 60 cents. The book alone costs 45 cents. For $1.00 five packs of Powder and a book; for $1.20 a large 2; pound can and. book; six cans, $5.00, express prepaid, Send stamps or cash.
