VAIN HJLVKE, jklitor. V,-'"* ::-)§^l"- At the Republican County Con­ vention, on Saturday" last Capt. Nish, of ; Cary, was nominated for Treasurer and John Brink, of Crystal Lake, for -SKHV veyor. At the Mass Convention mi Monday E. M. Lamb, of Woodstock. was nominated for Treasurer, and Miles Hatch, of Burton, for Surveyor. f@rThat Rockford duel reporter, Hr. Postdate, of Chicago, is a very stubborn piece of timber. He has re­ fused to turn iState^ evidence against the St. Louis ftgliterp, though such an act would annul the indictment against him as an abettor to the en­ counter, and is held in bonds of $3,000 to appear for trial. There is abundant testimony to convict Postdate of the charges against him, but not .enough to convict the principals to the duel with­ out Postdate's testimony. Will the re­ porter "hold out," and if he does, how much will Edwards and Foster "ante up ?w An effort is being made by the State's Attorney to bring the case to trial during the present term of court -la Winnebago county. m v", Jf;?- V- %>' :wi. •An attempt was made at Park Ridge, last Friday, to abduct Willie Broughtonnaged 10 years, son of Geo. W. Broughton, formerly a resident of this place. The boy was enticed to a «omewhat secluned point, where he was *eized and thrown into a carriage la waiting, and before he could make any noise was gagged and bound. The kidnappers drove to Jeflterson, where tliey stopped to get a drink. While they were drinking Willie managed to free himself and made his escape. The men oncoming out and finding the boy gone, started in pursuit, but failed to find him, and he reached home all right, though hotly pursued by the ruffians. It. came very near & second Charley Boss affair.--Ex. THE Cor RT HOUSE AT W AUKEGAN BURKED.--The Old Court House at Waukegan, built in 1843-4, was totally destroyed by fire on Thursday forenoon of last week. As to the cause of the •^Sll fire thj|. W aukegarr Patriot says : "The . 4? . „ -cause of the burn Sag is so mystery, tthough many at first were prone to believe it a case of incendiarism. It ik appears that the tinner who had been .at work around the old razeed cupola, left his soldering pot, With fire burning 4n it, while he went for more tin; that ,;; * few shavings were lying around loose J|j| and undoubtedly a draft of wind blew j ̂ fche shavings against the Are, or blew brands from the pot among the sha- p|| yings, and in this way ignited the i # J <woodwork of the cupola. The Court [ * / House was built by B. P. Cahoon, of Kenosha, who commenced it in 1843 and completed it in 1844. About $000 worth fit repairs were being made on it, and were nearly completed at the time of the fire." H'-v If convict labor is a serious evil £o honest labor, its worst results in this way must naturally be in the immedi­ ate vicinity of the Penitentiary which contains the convicts in question. But the Joliet (111.) Sun has discovered that prison labor in that city has no .appreciable effect upon the pay or com­ fort of Joliet workingmen. Seven trades are carried tm i$ the Peniteiv- Wag ' and* dressing with local industry, and its interference Is doubtful. Most of the convicts are employed in making boots and shoes, . and Joliet has as many manufactories these goods as any town of equal size in the pountry. The same lack of com­ petition is true of all other trades in which prison labor is employed. Joliet so far from suffering from the presence of the Penitentiary, has an increased populatioa of honest men, and an In­ creased business of over 8*250,000 a year. This neat little demonstration punc­ tures the couvie-labor bugbear pretty thoroughly. NUNDA.

Elder Bingland of the nury fouud it quite warm in Woodstobk last week af­ ter writing up the lie he did about the boys getting the darkey drunk, Ac. The boys say it is all a lie. and when the Elder appeared in Woodstock they called him all the names they could think of, but he cowed down and slunk away like the dog he is. If he had said a word back the boys would have went through him. In the evening they took tin pans, cow bells, and other like instruments, and treated him to a serenade. He concluded it best not to come oat and make a speech. Well, every devil must have his due and his time will come. Although 'with a person that only has one brain and that one cracked it cannot be ex­ pected that any truth will come out of it. It was cracked auctioneering.

M A R K U S ' CERMAN These bitters are xnanufactured by the pro­ prietor from GERMAN BOOTS, imported by him. The receipt of these Bitters was obtained by the proprietor in 1X45 , from an old and experienced physician (then a phy­ sician in the Prussian arniv), and a graduate of the highest medical colleges of Germany. Those Bitters are Guaranteed to cure the se­ verest cases of • DIAKKIKEA, INDIGESTION, DYSPEPSIA, and are a certain preventative of FEMALE SICKNESS, CIIILL8 AND FK7ER, AND AGUE. Diarrhoea is a disease characterized by an increased discharge from the Bowels, usually In a verv liquid state, and sometimes contain­ ing a large qunntitv of Bile. Besides the vari­ ous purgative medicines, undressed or indi- gestable food, or vegetables, acid fruits, oily or putrid substances frequently cause Diarr. hoea. Physicians distinguish various kinds of Diarrhn-a, as (crapulosa) when the forces pass off ordinary quality ; "biliosa" when the bile is more abundant than natural; "mucosa" when the excrements contain a quantity of mucus; "serosy" in which they are almost entirely liquid and watery; and "licuteria" when the food passes through the body in an almost un altered state. There are frequently, also nausea and vomiting, a bitter taste In the mouth, a furred and yellow tongue, dry and harsh skin, a full or sallow countenance, and if sueedly checked, great emaciation. This is one of tuose 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 Dftlicnt is strong, it is best to lot it tftkc its course for a short time, and by taking only two wine glasses fullV the Bitters for the flr«t ten hours. For violent cases live wine glasses full per day, on® before each meal and two .between 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 liittfeM before each meal. No family,, should ue without a bottle. Price per tottle, large 80 cts., small 00 CH,1 Manufactured bv . '• P. MARKU8, WOODSTOCK, IL& JUST RECEIVED.
