Y., March 1*H». kt* [_ The Liverpool- quotftttimlk ' lias advanced three smiiiui^s since last Tuesday, ancl the" foreign rt^ufajK1. not Only continues Brm-, but Hs irknvhlg.' Our advices agree in announcing that „ there ia a perceptible scarcityof choice; . The extreme prfc£, 3Its Is . Jfcsked with increasedconfidence. Ktuw^ :ijnai quotations liave not changed since last \veek> but the trade ̂ approaches a |>oint from which there will doubtless /"iron be an advance, The increased firmness is also reported from Boston And Philadelphia. There Is no change In prices at the former market, quota­ tions ranging from 13 to 13$c for choice factory. An increased horiie demand Is likewise reported from New York, though Jhe home trade is still some­ what dull. The exports continue to exceed the receipts, and both export® and receipts exceed those of* the cor­ responding week last year. Indeed, the trade is much more animated this cpring than last, and the prospects of a bare market are much better. The factories will re-open at the usual time, with fairer prospects than they did last year. In the interior we be­ lieve the stock is light. Few reports ©f large lots in hand have reached us and at Little Falls and Utica choice factory may be quoted at 13 to 13$c. BUTTER.--The tone of the market has improved at all points. ' The best grades are .scarce, and fair grades am in increased demand. A LAWYEK OUTWITTED. A similar case to that of the Presby­ terian clrgyman commemorated in the Editor's Drawer of the Jantiary Har­ per's occurred in a Massachusetts town of high repute quite a number of years ago. The town, now a city, maintained a high school, according 1 to law. A teacher was employed at a certaiij salary, by the year. After a while his services were not found satisfactory to the school committee, and their chair­ man, a smooth spoken member of the legal profession, was deputed to per­ form the ungracious task of informing the master of the state of the case. After the settlement of preliminaries, the point was reached and the proprie­ ty of the master's resignation was di­ plomatically and politely suggested. The incumbent, if not qualified to teach such a school, was a shrewd Yan­ kee. lie expressed his willingness to "^eavi "so readily the commictee-man became uncommonly gracious at the gacccss of his mission. "But," said the worthy pedagogue, "if my services are not satisfactoryIjere, they may be in some other placp; and as I must get my living, I presume you will give me a recommendation ?" "Certainly," replied the committee­ man, thinking only of relieving his own town of an inefficient instructor; and accordingly drew up the paper on the •pot. >' The master -read it, aad found it highly satisfactory. "And now," said he, glancing keenly at his employer, "upon this recommendation I am so well fitted to teach, I will thank you to pay me the rest of my salary for the linexpired half year. The lawyer was caught, and the mon­ ey was paid. Goods AndNew Prices.^ Have on hand I^arf* and tvpil *oU>ot«d Stock of ! * Boots, Of all Kinds, which Down Low Car --AN ill be soldi €3-A. Corner Main Street and Public Squaref WOODSTOCK ILL. M A R K U S > CERMAN * These bitters a» manufactured by the pro. prictorfrnm GERMAN ROOTS, imported bv him. The receipt of these Bitter* was obtained by the proprietor in 1*43 , from an old and experienced physician (then a phy* sician in the Prussian arinv), and a graduate of the highest medical colleges of Germany. These Bittern are Guaranteed to cure the se> verest cases of DIAlll'HCEA, INDIGESTION, DYSPEPSIA, and are a certain preventative of FEMALE SICKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVJCR, AND AGUE. Plhrrlwtfsi !s a disease characterized bv an increased discharge from the Rowels, usually in a very liquid state, and sometimes contain­ ing a large quantity of Bile. Besides the vari­ ous purgative medicines, undressed or indi. gestable foo«l, or vegetables, acid fruits, oily or putrid substances frequently cause l)iarr- h<ea. Physicians distinguisjLvarious kinds of Diarrhoea. as (crapnlosa) wlm the forces pass off ordinary quality; "bil'os;if*when the bile is more abundant than natural; "mucosa" when list* eSt-reiri<55ts fi-ntsiii « qusiatity •'•? raucTTS't "serosy" in which they are almost entirely liquid and watery; and "licnteria" when the food passes through the body in an almost im altered state. There are frequently, also nausea and vomiting, a bitter taste "in the mouth, a furred and yellow tongue, dry^ftnd harsh skin, a full or sallow couritenance, and if speedly checked, great emaciation. This is one of tqose diseases by means of which na­ ture strives to get rid of impurities, and re­ store the system to its natural condition. Hence, when it is not very violent, and the patient is strong, it is best to let it take its course for a short time, and by taking only two wine glasses full of the Bitters for the first- ten hours. For violent cases five wine glasses full per day, one before each meal and two ld'tu een meals. In any case great care should be taken not to stop* it too suddenly. The treatment thus in all cases depends upon the cause from which it sprang. For Indiges­ tion and Dyspepsia take one wine glass full of the Bitters before each meal. No family should be without a bottle. Price per bottle, large 80 eta., Bmall 50cts. Manufactured bv P. MARK US, WOODSTOCK, ILL Chicago & North-Western RAILWAY. BSrThe Portland Oregoniqn has a letter from Independence,' 'Oregon, which says: "A Mr. Elkin had two of his sous attending the deaf and dumb school at Salem, when they both were stricken down with fever so prevalent all over that school. He took them both home to this county, and attended to them with great care; but while one of them got wqii quick, the , other re­ mained very low, eansed, as $he doctors said, front the eruption of tfce ear, which was continually running. Bnt what was the joy of the father when be percievcd that his son showed signs of being able to bear! It annoys him yet to be spoken to, or any other harsh tioise, but he can bear even the snap­ ping of the fire. The boy is getting now slowly better, and the father has great hopes that he will be able to hear hereafter." HAIR WORK. Mrs.C.
