If the vete was to be, as the Democrat said, one of censure or of confidesce in the council, then these gentlemen have uo fault to tind. Af ter the persistent fight made by the Democrat on the council such a pop ular expression of confidence must be very gratifying to the mayor an] board of aldermen. MecFarlaud Bros received an or der this weeks from Calvin Masey of Fresno, California, for five sets of wagon Harness and a lot of halters, pads, &c. Mr. Masey formerly lived in Summit township, this county, and he writes the McFarland Bros., that the reason he sends to them for harness he cau buy them from five to six dollars per set cheaper in Butler than he can at his home. This is the second shipment they have sent him since he left the county.

Nestrerope Makes the Weak Strong The marked benefit which people in run down or weakened state of health derive from Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this medicine “makes the weak strong.” It docs not act like a stimulant, imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but in the most natural way Hood's Sarsapari!la overcomes that tired feel- ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.
