CAUSTIC 
BALSAM! 
Is undoubtedly tlie most val- 
nnhlft and reliable Veteri- 
nsiry Remedy ever discover¬ 
ed. It has superseded the Actual Cautery 
or hot iron; produces more than four limes 
the effect of a blister; takes the place of all 
liniments, and is the safest application ever 
used, as it is impossible to produce a scar 
or blemish with it. It Li a powerful, ac¬ 
tive, reliable and safe remedy that can be 
manipulated at will for severe or mild ef¬ 
fect. Thousands of the best Veterinarians 
and Horsemen of this country testify to its 
many wonderful cures and its great practi¬ 
cal value. It is also the most economical 
remedy in use, as one tablespoonhil of 
Caustic Balsam will produce more actual 
results than a whole bottle of any liniment 
or spavin cure mixture ever made. Price 
$1.50. Sold bv druggists, or sent, charges

Clerk of the Court—“Owen Docherty. 
Are you Owen Docherty?' 1 Prisoner (with a 
merry twinkle in his eyes'—“Yes, begorra, I’m 
owen everybody.” 
“O yes.” said old Uncle Peebles, who was 
describing a comedy he had seen, “O yes, it was 
funny enough to make a donkey laugh. I 
laughed till I cried.” 
A CLERGYMAN and one of his elderly parish¬ 
ioners were walking home from church oue 
icy day last winter, wheu the old gentleman 
slipped and fell flat on his back. The minis¬ 
ter, looking at him a moment, and being as¬ 
sured that he was not much hurt, said to him, 
“Sinners staud on slippery places.” The old 
gentleman looked up, as if to assure bimself of 
the fact, and said, “I see they do. but I can't.”

The New-York Life has now perfected a policy called the 
NON-FORFEITING LIMITED-TONTINE POLICY, 
which combines the non-forfeiture featuies originated by this Company in 1860, with 
the valuable options and benefits of the “Tontine Investment Policy.” This 
policy marks the latest advance in life insurance. By a combination 
of non-forfeiture and Tontine privileges it obviates the objections heretofore made 
against both the ordinary policy and the ordinary Tontine, and it is confidently recom¬ 
mended as (1) the safest life policy Issued, as regards liability to lapse ; (2) 
the most desirable, as regards character of privileges and benefits; and (3) one 
of the most profitable, as regards cash returns.
