SENTENCE OF COM. ELLIOTT.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania publishes
the following as the points on which Com.
Elliott was convicted or cleared They are
somewhat different from the statement con-
tained in the Globe, but are doubtless correct,
as the Pennsylvania says it has ascertained
them with precision. Without embarrassing
the statement by adhering to the mere formal
tiles of the legal documents, it is believed
that the real character and extent Of tie find
ing of the Court will be best understood gen.
orally, by reference to the persons or sub,
ject matter which particularly markcC, each
charge.

Pefrifed Bufaio.-'rhis extraordinary GU.
riosity was discovered about two years since.
by aparty oftrappers, belonging to Captain
Rents company, lying on the side of one of
the beaver dams Of the Rio Grande of the
north, "a stream emptying itself into the
gull OF California whose waters, it is said,
possess epetrifying qualities, in an eminent
degree, its shores Astounding in specimens of
animal and vegetable productions in a petri
he'd state. The pe,rified buffalo is described
ny those who have seen it, to be as perfect in
Its petrIfication as when living, with the ex-
cepton OF hole in one of its sides. about four
inches IN diameter, around which the hair has
been worn off, probably by the friction Of the
water In which it must have laid ages past,
to have produced such phenomenon. The
hair on the hump of the shoulders, neck, fore
mead, and tail, though converted into almost
a smooth surface, may be easily discerned.-
The horns, eyes, nostrils, mouth and legs.
are as perfect in the stone as in their pristine
state.
The country in which this rare specimen
was found, is inhabited by the Esteaux, a To-
wing tribe OF savages who subsist, greatpor-
ton OF their lives, on insects, snakes. toads,
roots, &c. This tribe being particularly hos
tile to the whites, renders the acquisition of
this curiosity, not little hazardous; notwith-
standing this and many other difficulties to
be 'surmounted, such as distance, expense.
&c. our enterprising citizen, Captain Charles
hent, contemplates procuring and bringing it
to the United States with him during the en-
suing artumn.-'S. Louis pap.

such pressure that respiration can be perfect
ly carried on, or the blood be fully arteriali-
zed; debility consequently supervenes, the
blood remains unchanged to degree made
quate to supply healthy secretions; and, e.
ven when no transmitted predisposition ex-
lists, the tendency to the formation and dispo-
sltion of the tuberculous matter is not only
impressed for the first time upon the habit, but
tubercles are actually deposited in the lungs,
and Consumption is generated.
If the individual escape this hazard, anoth-
er may still await her; for if the pressure up
on the lower part of the chest do not much
morbidly influence the lungs, the evil conse-
.quences may display themselves on the func-
lions of the liver, the stomach, and the bow
els; or the spine may become affected, which
Is not only in itself most serious affection,
but from the lateral curvature of its upper
part, which oftens follows,the respiration be-
comes embarrassed: difficult breathing on
the slightest exertion, with short cough, and
palpltation of the heart ensue, and Consump-
tian Is the result. IL is unnecessary to pur-
sue this part of our subject farther, the evils
depending upon the present, and indeed the
long established errors in female attire are la
mentable, but they have been so obstnately
persisted in, that the prospect Of change in
this respect, much and ardently as it is desi-
red, can scarcely be anticipated, even by the
most sanguine.
Were it attempted to attack the evil with
the shafts OF ridicue, there would be little
difficulty is displaying the absurdity of the
contrast between woman, lovely and grace
ful as she comes from the hand of her Crea-
tor, and the sand-glass shapes into which
she is moulded by the deforming hand of the
stay and dress-makcr. But as satire is nei-
ther my object nor my forte, must leave its
two-edged weapon in the hands of some one
who is both able and willing to WELD it in
attacking this enemy of good health and
life.

Mr. J. II. IL. W'eauer Sir Yours Of the
26th Of June last is now before me, in which
you wish me TO give you a full detail of the
Sacrament reported to have been administer

since been refuted satisfactorily, and proved
not to De so, by both parties. l would lust

THE "PARCHED CORN" STORY.


When we remarked in our last upon the
easy credulity which could be made to be-
iieve that In any assemblage of men, in this
country. the vile profanity could be permitted.
Idea that we should so soon be enabled to
expose the infamous fabrication to the scorn
Of the community.
The story was copied by the Huntsville
Democrat, among other papers; whereupon a
gentleman of that place took the necessary
steps to confirm or refute it. The following
Is the correspondence on the subject:
HUNTSVILLE, July 20, 1910.
MIR. Editor when the scandalous report
that Sacrament had been administered by
the Wings Of Ohio, was so busily circulated
by some OF the very officious democrats of
this place, had no faith in it, for l could
not conceive of any set Of men so debased as
to offer such an insult to Him who instituted
and first administered that holy ordinance
Convinced that it was utterly untrue, and
wicked in its conception, I wrote to the Post.

the truth. His answer hereby enclose tc
you. Belonging to the Van Buren, party, his
testimony will not, suppose, be objected tc
by Van Buren, men.

and wicked report will constitute my apolop,
for addressing this note.
