Prompted by an honest desire Of my heart wish
to lay before the public a case which deserves a
high commcndation, not only an act OF scientific
Skill but that of humanity also. Ahout two years
ago, | suddenly, and from causes unknown to me,
was seized with ht of epilepsy, which. cwng to
my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
a thorough medical treatment, and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting it, soon be-
came such (as | then led to beeve) as to defy
the skill of physician. | was frequently, while IN
pursuit of my calling thrown down to the ground
without the slightest warning, and although nsen'
sibe to the agonies, yet despised the miseries of
life, and soon learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me from danger
enemies, who sought to prolong the misery of my
existence. While in this state, and having prev
to my afliction tasted the sweets of life,
once more induced to attempt seeking aid of a ply
scian and by recommendation called upon Dr. l..
j. Czapkay. told him my circumstances and my
inability TO reward him for his services regardless
OF which, however, he at once undertook my case
and, with the blessings of God, was once more
stored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for
the boon which enjoy at present, and yet conscious
of my Indebtedness consider il due to myself and
TO all afflicted, to make the case public, in order
that those in need of medical advice may find
physician in whom every confidence NAV be placed.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE.-The New
York Times says: sswe publish this morning
a great variety of interesting matter relating
to the deplorable accident to the Atlantic
Telegraph Cable. From these accounts, and
from the letter of an intelligent correspondent
on board the steamer Niagara, it would appear
that the expedition must have failed, even
though the cable had not parted when it did.
Though the chief engineer for laying down the
the cable, Mr.. Bright, has given his certificate
exonerating all persons on board the Niagara
from all blame for the melancholy mishap, yet
there has not satisfactory reason been given
for the immediate act which led to the parting
of the wire. 1t seems that the cable had
several times slipped off the s'controller,"
and became jammed, by which its safety was
impcriled, owing to the imperfection of the
machinery for paying it ont. But, even
though it had been suffered to run freely and
no accident had be1allen it, the chances
were all against its reaching its Western ter
minus, in consequence of the cable being too
short. There was surplus of about six hun
dred miles, but at least q thousand miles we're
needed. Sufficient allowance had not been
made for sweeping away the cable by under
currents. After all, it may have been most
fortunate that the ships did not proceed fur
ther. To have laid the cable nearly the
whole distance, and then TO have been COM
PEELED to let it slip because it was not long
enough. would have been much greater ca
| lamty than that which has retarded the CON-
| pletion of this great work. They now know
| what the perils are which must be guarded
| against, and the experience OF the first expert
| mental trip will give them almost surety OF
success, when they make another trial. 1t IS
not yet known whether another attempt vii
| be made this year. But, as there is usually 8
| long spell of fine weather Immediately after
the equinoctiai gales, we should suppose that
| it would be less costly to make the attempt tt
| lay the cable the present season than to uncoi
| it aud send ii ashore.

"Wednesday, shorn of his hirsute glory by a
committee of citizens, who had purchased Of
him the right to do so by paying him the round
sum of one hundred dollars. The hair was re-
moved, by ferocious looking barber, with a

ary lifted each separate lock with pitch fork.
and laid them the plates while q negro
with banjo played the dead march. And the

Born TO BE HANGED.-It appears from re-
port which is in circulation that it IS very un-
pleasant to be born in certain house in Ches-
ter county, Penn. Since the year 1874 there
have been five executions for capital offences
in the county. Edward Williams, who was
hanged in 1880, and George Pharo, who was
executed in 1851, were both born in house
which stands about mile from West Chester.
Ingram, who was recently hanged in Illinois
for the murder of his wife, also first saw light
in this same unlucky house.

CUTTING BRUsH.-This month is a favorable
time for this business. Some kinds of brush
and weeds are more damaged by cutting now
than at any other season of the year. The
brush in rocky pastures should be kept close
cut every year, until it is exterminated. This
is the only effectual remedy. When kept
down the cattle browse upon the tender shoots,
and help the farmer in subduing them. If
left to themselves they shade the land, impair
the quality or the grass, and in a few years
take complete possession of the pasture.
The wild cherry is frequently found in these
grazing lands, and along the fences that in
close meadows. Care should be taken to keep
the leaves of this bush away from the cattle.
In the wilted state they are poisonous, and
it occasionally happens that animals are killed
by eating them. The poison is prussic acid.
