REPUBLICAN. Local, Literary and Miscellaneous. By CD. WErmiLD, Wednesday. May B. 1866. THE last few days have been •xcoeding beautiful. Maia, lovely goddess, all bail! MOKSB <fe Co. have some new things in summer goods. A lot more on the way. • OOLK is fixing up that big store, we no- tice new goods, and plushy arrangements generally. • SojfB advertisements are unavoidably laid over this week. Look at those wo have g<*- ^ THOSK who want to drink at a pure foun- tain of song, attend the Concert To-morrow night Wo are of opinion, that something rich will be heard. STANFIXLD is filling up that corner store (corner Main, and South Portage streets) with Harness fixings. One of the best points in town. -—•—••- GIDBS has a garden hoe that everybody ought to have—the next thing to the Chaut Company's Mower and Reaper. It has a blade to shave weeds, a rake-plan to weed bods, and—a handle to both on 'em! Got it and see what else it has. THB editor of the Chenango Telegraph is agardner, and has been experimenting on bugs. Hear him: PBKSKBVK YOUR GARDEN \SASS.\—Peo- ple who are about to, commence gardening should note it down that a few plants of peppergrass in a cucumber hill will effectu- ally keep eff the yellow bugs. •• THE Conneautvillo Banner, we see, is to be married to the Erie Constitution. R. LTLK WHITE, Esq., Editor of the former paper, is a slashing, vigorous writer, fond of phight and phun —a good temperance man, and will be an acquisition to tho Con- stitution, in it= war-waging in railroad mat- tew. The combined papar will bo Repub- lican. Hero's our fist, LYLE. Luck and all that •* FROM impressions that we have received wc think the Fair next September in this county will be better prepared for and ex- cite a deeper interest than any previous one. Our friends A. B. and ft, say that they are laying plans for a first rate show of some particular articles. Let excellence in some one department of production bo aimed at, that a fine degree of perfection may bo ar- rived at in all. The month of May is tho time that decides, in a very great degree, tho quality of the autumn Fair. -• PUNISHED FOR DRUNKKHESS.—Two per- son* were arrested in Cazonovia, last week, for being found drunk in the street One was fined $10, and the other sent to jail for fifteen days. Th so proceedings were had •under that clause of th* Maine Law which •prescribes fino and imprisonment for drunk- •enness.— Chenango Tel. This is a good precedent. The Cazono- Tiovia folks are right in using what is left •of the Maine Law. It is about time for the friends of temperance in this vicinity to •do something. Organize! REV. Mr. GLEASON, a missionary among tho Cattaragus Indians, visited this place, last Sabbath, to obtain aid to build a Church in that reservation. After his statement of the matter in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday Morning, a collection amounting to nearly $70 was taken up. This reservation contains about fifty square miles and is oc- cupied by some fourteen hundred Indians, which are increasing. In tho same number of white men, tho Rev. gentleman says he could find more persons of intemperate hab- bitsJ' Trre United States Steamer Michigan, has left her winter quarters at this port for a cruise up the Lakes.— Erie Observer. And what under the canopy is she cruis- ing up the Lakes for ? Are tho Indians ex- pected to make a hostile descent on Ponti- ac—or has a scout of Hudson Bay trappers hove in sight at Mackinaw ? that this lazy steamer sho'd go drifting round on its fools' errand. It may be that this regimental steamer is ordered by Mr. Pierce, to guard the frontier against the irruption of the free negros of Canada, into Kansas. Watch the danger in season; 6r more scientifically, 'In time of peace prepare for war.' We trust after this steamer has vanquished the buf- falos and niggers, it will return covered with glory, and puff itself into winter quarters again at Eric. Look out for 'em, Jonathan. What a war. wearisome drudgery, or hard, tasteless ex- ercise ; bat for Mai frolicksome fun and enjoy- ment that will send the nervous fluid and the blood tiding through all the passages of the system, and quicken life and sensi- bility. Some rich man in town, owning lota and houses, build a gymnasium. If he does, he will be remembered longer than he can be by locking op his money in rus- ty safes. School Commissioner. On the third day of June, proximo, the board of Supervisors of this county will se- lect by ballot a School Commissioner for each of its Assembly Districts, to continue in office till January 1st, 1858. This is such a radical change from the town Super- intendency, tho duties of which office are apportioned among the School Commission- ers and the County Supervisors, that a particular reference to it will be in place But at present we simply desire to express the hope that the Supervisors will make for the partial term of this first appoint ment, a wise selection for Commissioners. A great deal of power—too much for any laggard or dolt—is now thrown into the hand of the School Commissioner.— The office is no sinecure. The man who cannot consent to work—work inceasantlv and good naturedly—travel through wind, storm and snow-drifts, work because he lov- es it and loves the schools, and the chil- dren, baa no business with the appointment. It is, in fact, one of self sa crificc. The elected man has a kingdom on his shol- dors, more weightly than t he world that the fabled Atlas bore. He must visit all the schools in his dis- trict inquire into all their interests, make arangeraents, certify teachers—indeed, he is by the law made almost responsible for tho progress and success of tho schools. We trust every man in Chautanque Co. every Supervisor at least has estimated tho value of common schools, and the urgent necessity of their able and efficient super- vision. We return now to the main features of the old county superintendency. The Legislature have endorsed, in accordance with the previous opinions of the most able educationists of the State, that regimen of the schools. Lot us have in tho Supervis- or's appointment, \men for the occasion.\— Can they be found ? DAGUERREOTYPES!!

He pro, poses to sell only 200 t ickets, at $2 each; and when the tickets are all disposed of, to mako over to the holdcrs,one of Chickering's Pianos; which at tho close of the series, is to be disposed o f by a drawing of numbers, among tho holders of tickets: so that somo one will get a Piano, worth several hund- red dollars for tho price of a ticket in add- ition to the entertainment. The concerts are to be held at Marble Hall; which is to be opened to the public with the first of the scries. Those who wish to have a first rate ti:ne and secure a chance of getting a new and olegant Piano will do well to call at once at Prof. R's rooms and pl-ico their names on his Books. Holloway's Pills, tho most celebrated Remedy in the Union for the cure of disea- ses of the Liver and Stomach.—Edmund Alga, of Cooperstown, New York, was for the period of nineteen years a complete misery to himself, and a burden to his friends, ho suffered so severely and continuously from liver complaint and a disordered stom- ach, that he was constanly for weeks togeth- er confined to his bed. The doctors did him no good, and ho therefore left olf consultino- them. Nino weeks ago he commenced using Holloway's Pills, and his wife called last week at tho store of Prof. Holloway, to ac- knowledge most gratefully that her husband is quite cured. Prof. Holloway hopes that the thousand others in tho Union who have been benefitted will now come forward. GBOCERY! T his day opened an entire New Stock of Fami- ly Groceries.

The reason of this is said to be that their lungs acquire strength by exercise in vocal music, which constitutes an essential part of their education.— Ex. To this also should bo added (says a cotem- porary) much muscular exercise and fre- quency in tho open nir. It is a sort of re- ligious duty with the German to spend a portion of his time in the gymnasium. The volume and strength of his lungs are attrib- utable quite as much to his muscular as vo- cal exercise. Whoever has large and strong lungs need never fear consumption, wheth- er he be German or n>L There is much, however to be learnt from the Germans, in « physical point of view. They are a so- cial, unselfish, jolly race, and yet are sub- stantial and thoughtful. A The Erie Observer has learning of course, and speaks to the purpose. This matter of muscular exercise U a serious thing.— We don't caw anything in particular about the Germans, but, if there could be, in this village a sort of Gymnasium at public or private expense, for all nations — n public play-ground, with swings, jumping poles, rope-walks, climbing poles, ore, it would be the next thing to a grist mill or a grocery store, in point of varae to health.

Rhodos, Esq., Dear Sir:—As I took your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure no pay, I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to me by three brothers who live in this place, and their testimony is a fair specimen of all I have received: W. S. CONKLIN told me—\ I had token nine bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continual- ly run down while using it until my lungs and liv er were congested to that degree that blood dis- charged from my mouth and bowels, so that all tnought it impossible for me to live through a- nother cbilL The doctors too did all they could for me, but thought I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved me of the distress and nausea at my stomach and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a permanent cure in a short time. H. M CONKLIN says: \I had been taking med- icine of as good a doctor as wc have in our coun- ty, and taken any quantity of quinine and specific without any good rcsult.from 25th August to 17th Decemeber. Bat seeing how nicely it operated on my brother, I got a bottle of Rhodes' Fever aud Ague Cure, which effected a permanent cure by using two thirds of a bottle.\ S. M. Conklin was not here, but both the other brothess say his case was the same us H. M's. [ sold the medicine to both the same day, and the cure was as speedy from the same smail quantity and I might so specifv. Yours with respect. A. HUNTINGTON. The above speaks for itself. Good proof as is, it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like certificates I have already published, and the still greater amount that is continually pouring in to me. One thing more. Last year I had occasion to caution the Puublic in these words;— \I notice one firm who have taken one of my general circulars, substituted the name ol their nostrum for my medicine, and then with brazen impudence end their pamphlet with the exclama tion,'Let the proprietor of any other medicine- Bay as much if he dares,\ 4c . s Now I take plessure in saying that the Caution refered to the same '• Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam\ that is mentioned in the above certificate. There are several other industrious people who are applying to their poisonous trash all that I publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Anti- dote to Malaria, except the certificates of cures, and the certificate of the celebrated chemest, Dr. James R. Chilton, of N. Y., in favor its perfectly Harmless Character, which is attached to every bottle. These will always serve to distinguish my medicine from imitation. JAS. A. RHODES, Proprietor.
