PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND SAVED HER LIFE AND RENEWED HER STRENGTH THE BEST MEDICINE FOR THE OLD AND YOUNG. It is now an established fact that our Isar fathers and mothers, and our grand 'parents can have their lives prolonged, and their years made happy and joybne by the llise of j'aine'e Celery Compound. Many old people suffer from nerve troll - lee, rheumatism, kidney and liver eom- laint, sleeplessness, and terrible paralysis. ith such dangerous diseases oliuging to 1o 'hem, they are liable to drop off at any peoment. If we are truly and honestly interested in the welfare of the old people we will anxiously seek to use the agency that will lest meet their troubles. In the past thous• nada of our aged people have been rescued pont death by Paine's Celery Compound, and are now enjoying a happy old age. Every week new testimony is received frcm old people, as wall as from their friends and relations, lauding the strengthening and rejuvenating powers of earth's best medi- cine. • Mrs James. Cain, of Perott Settlement, N. S., now in her eighty-first year, has just sent in convincing and cheering testimony regarding the vaine of Paine's Celery Com- pound; she writes as follows:— "I am happy to state that Paine's Celery Compound has been a great blessing to me. In November, 1893, the whole of my right side was paralyzed, and the doctor said I was too weak to take much medicine; I managed, however, to use a little, and was able to sit up for a short time, but felt so bad, that I wished to die, as I thought death would be a great relief to me. "In my weak condition I began using Paine's Celery Com2ound. The first bottle gave me relief. I continued to use the compound, and I have gained health, strength and flesh, and my friends say I look quite healthy. Although in my eighty- first year, my limbs aro getting stronger, and I hope soon to be quite myself again.” I would advise all who are suffering from paralysis and other troubles to use Paine's Celery Compound and the Wills' English Pills that ,accompany the compound, and if properly used, they will surely cure. SIXTY-ONE YEARS AGO. ;SOME DOINGS OF THE OLDEN TIME. EARLY HISTORY IN CONNECTION 'WITH THE TOWN HARDSHIPS OF THE PIONEERS. EARLY SETTLERS IN COLBORNE AND GODERIOH. THE REBELLION OF 1837. The first family of the Coxes settled in the township of Goderich, on the 66thrcbncession, in the fall of the year 1833. The district was at that time a "wilderness. The writer was a boy of 16, and having to go to Goderich had 'to follow the surveyor's blaze. There was only one small store in the town, owned hy Wm. and Jasper Gooding; I bought a few pounds of salt, paying three pence per pound for it. The rest- .dential.portton of the town consisted ,of eight or ten frame dwellings and about thirty log houses; I do not re - =ember the population, there may Nave been one hundred. There was no church or minister of any denomina- tion in the town, or in the county. Where was no marriage license to be brad nearer than London; in fact I have "known some who travelled ' to London to procure a license. There was one 'magistrate who had authority to cele- brate a marriage. The Canada Company owned the town, and the whole Huron Tract, as it was then called. The torn lots were sold at £5 per lot of one fourth of an acre, and farm land at seven shillings per acre, mostly on time for payment, at ahigh rate of interest and compound interest. The taxes of the county were sent to London, where all crimi- nal cases were tried, until our jail was built in 1842. The lawyers came in then like birds of prey. Where Clinton now stands there was a hotel and one log house, and it was known as Vanderburg's Cornor, the Huron road was thinly settled and a few settlers were on the back conces- sions of Goderich township, there were also a few settlers on the London road, a few miles from Vanderburg's Corner and a few more at what is called Eg- mondyille, near where Seaforth now stands, but there was no Seaiorth in those days. There was a hotel every eight or ten miles leading from Hamil- ton to London, for the accommodation of emigrants and other travellers. All mail matter was from six to eight weeks on the way from England or Ireland to Goderich, and the postage was high, on a single letter we have paid as high as six shillings and three pence for postage; the niail was con- veyed on horseback, and the post office was kept by a highly esteemed lady, Miss Ruh, who was a very capable ofBcw. Most of the first settlers are either dead or have removed from the vicinity; Sheriff Gibbons is the only man in town now who had grown to mane q1 in 1833, and „in the township of Goderich there are only six or seven who had grown to manhood at that date; abont the same time there were eight or ten families who settled in the township of Colborne, they were well supplied with money, and took up Targe blocks of land and built large log Itemises; they lived in higher style than we in this section, and their money did not stay long; most of them were Scotch and English, with a few Irish. About the year 1831 a few families of a more thrifty temperament settled ir347olbpurne, who by care and indus- try, succeeded in making good homes for themselves and their families and *it » W;in good circumstances; there are very few of the first settlers now alive in Colborne. „There Were no setters in the county of Deuce in the year 1833, it had not been surveyed. I assessed the town of Goderich in the spring of 1849, the population of the town at that time was a little over 000. I attended as a juryman at the 1st Court of Assizes held in the conn- tg of Huron, and for three clays' ser - *Stride I received thirty-five cents In the fall of 1837 the McKenzie Re- bellion broke out, and all Canada was in a state of excitement. The militia was called out, and volunteer com- ppflnies were raised, by order of the G vetlloe. At the same time it was (promised that all 1'$yal subjects who ;would serve to quell the rebellion, / would get 100 acres of the wild land of Canada, but that promise was never fulfilled. Capt. Wm. Gooding raised a company of volunteers in this section, and two of my brothers joined. They left Goderich in a few days for Port Sarnia or Walpole Island. The whole company marched along the lake shore through the bush. and,had no road un- til they got to a settlement. A few days after they got to .Pa,rnia the Weise supplied with old muskets and blankets, but had no clothing. given to thein, and were pet ed Tri a Oathblic bapel for a barracks. Shortly. after the volunteers left, all the able bodied men in and near Goderich were ordered to meet at Papst's •hotel, three miles fl om the town, and the next day we met: at Clinton Corners. As we had no firearms, the authorities had order- ed the blacksmiths to make pike heads of iron or steel, and had them put in handles of white ash, eight or ten feet long, and the men were supplied with them. I got one, and have it, still in my possession. About one-fourth of the men were sent home again, to take care of the families and cattle. I was sent home to take charge of three families and cattle, and I had to go one day of each week to enroll my name before Capt. Annan, a veteran of the regular army. , The volunteers, outside of the homeguard, • were marched by way of the London road to Sarnia, and they had a hard time of it, as the roads were very muddyand the travelling hard. The militia men were kept most of the winter, and the volunteers until the spring. A number of the leaders of the rebellion were taken prisoners and banged in, London and Toronto, and more were in jail; several left the country. Mackenzie made his es- cape, and the Governor issued a pro- clamation offering £1000 for his corpse, to any person or persons who would deliver it up to the proper authorities. In the fall of 1838, Capt. Seward, an old captain of the army raised a com- pany of volunteers in Goderich. i joined thein, and we received $8 boun- ty and clothing, and were supplied with old muskets. Our pay was $8 per month. We were in the town of Goderich all winter, and were drilled by Lieut. John Young, who had served his time in the regular army. We were discharged in the spring follow- ing, and the captain cheated us out of two months' pay. Some time atter all was over and peace proclaimed the rebels were all pardon- ed and William Lyon Mackenzie in years after sat as a member in the House of Parliament in Canada. The militia and volunteers suffered a great amount of hardship from cold, and many of them were poorly clad; any of them who were wounded or other- wise bodily injured received a pension of 20 pounds a year. In the year 1842 the first election for members of Parliament.:or the county of Huron was held in the town of Goderich, the townships of Biddulph andMcGillivary were then in thecounty. The candidates were Captain Dunlop, Reform, and Captain Strachan, Conser- vative. No person had a legal vote except on deeded property, and the whole county had to come to Gode- rich to vote; a number of persons voted illegally. The elections continued a whole week, four or five hotel keepers got orders to keep open houses during the week, free to all for board and liquor, and I knew several persons to stop in the town eating and drinking at the expense of the candidates the whole week. The writer of this lived in a hotel kept by Jas. Elliott, and had charge of the liquor and victuals, and kept a strict account of the meals and liquor given in the beginning of the week. The authorities were afraid that there would he quarrels between the two parties, and sent to London for a company of soldiers to keep the peace; the good men arrived and were billeted in the different hotels; eight,- or ightor ten at Elliott's hotel had a room to themselves, and their victuals were brought to them, and every morning I brought them a bottle of Scotch whis- key, made by the Youngs, of Ccl- borne. They were jolly good fel- lows and kept the peace during the week and were sent back to London when the war was over. Captain Strachan was returned as the candi- date. Captain Dunlop, or his party, protested the election, and the next summer a trial was held in Goderich Or Not to Dye that is the question whether it is better to wear that faded, shabby dress and endure the scornful looks of all your well-dressed neighbors, or to purchase a package of Diamond Dyes and restore its freshness in another color — making a new dress for ten cents.

"Ten people out of a dozen are invalids," says a recent medical authority. At least ei5,ht out of these ten, it is safe to allow, are suffering from some form of blood -dis- ease which a persistent use of Ayer's Sar- saparilla would be sure to cure.' Then, don't be an invalid. On the afternoon of April 30 Mr Ful- ton Gordon shot and killed his wife and her paramour, Archie Brown, sou of Governor Brown, of Kentucky. whcm he found together in a house of assignation on Madison street, Louis- ville. Gordon was arrested and ar- raigned before Judge Thompson on a charge of murder. After the argu- ments n ere completed and the case closed the judge announced that he could not hold the poisoner, and would discharge him, as an object lesson to other adulterers. Never was a crowd more demons, rat.ive in its appreciation than was the immense throng in the 'PoliceCourtwhen the judge announced in a clear lone the verdict in the case. Cher after cheer went, up. and hand after hand was thrust out 10 show how Hs verdict was appreciated. When the jridge had finished, and hardly be- fore the last word had fallen frour his lips, the cheering began, which contin- ued fully twenty minutes. In vain dict the bailiff e.rdeavor• to restore order. In explanation the judge said there was no evidence of guilt on Gordon's part, hut the adulterer and adulteress stood on the verge of an abyss of ruin and death, and their fate was only what ct:uld be expected.

"1 met Harvey li asttuiul to -day on the road, and i he did nut condescend to recognize ule at all. 1 irate to see a fellow who won't speak to old acquain- tances after he's been in the iity a while." Reuben spoke with some heat. "I think myself that it is a shabby thing to pass an old•ftiend without re- cognition," said Reuben's tat her, grave- ly, yet with a twinkle in his keen eyes, as if some inward thought would shine throUgll. "But, my bay," he went on, "I am sorry to find that you have been guilty of something vet"y like this yourself, lately." "Please prove it," said Reuben, loolk- ing quite resentful, and wholly unb - lieving. "I wouldn't do such a thing I am sure," "Not that thing that Harvey did, perhaps, but sorgething like it, I said. I have noticed lately that you have passed the woodpile without even look- ing at it, and I began to fear the con- sequences. I saw last Sabtath that you passed your younger brothers on the muddy road, when one of them needed, your help in getting over a bad place, and never stopped to say a word or land a hand. I saw, too, that when the superintendent of Sunday school called for volunteers in scare work he wished done, you looked as if you had no interest in it whatever. It made rue" think of a saying I have heard :— Some people do not recognize their obligations when they meet them." Now, opportunities! and duties are friends too, my son, and I want to use your feelings toward Harvey to help you hereafter to recognize these."
