The Persian Fever Charm

Much attention is now being attrac-
ted in medical circles by remedy for
Fever and Ague and Bilious Fevers,
called the PERSIAN FEVER CHARM.
AS the name indicates, it is kind of
Amulet, to be worn rext to the skin
and it is an Amulet or Charm of
unfailing efficacy, as can be testified
by thousands who have used it. The
history of its discovery may some day
be published, in which case it viii be
found more interesting than any ro-
nance. 1t has been lin use for hun.
dreds of years among the Arabs, and
the secret has been most religionsly
kept by their priests until recently,
when it was discovered in singular
manner, and its miraculous powers tes-
ted by well known American travel
Ter, whose name we are not at liberty
to diyulge, though ii will doubtless
soon be made public. Meanwhile we
merely call attention to the article tt
self, which from its simplicity and e6-
cacy, is destined to take the place of
all other remedies. We are not GER
tain that it can be obtained in this Vi
entity, bnt if not. our enterprising
merchants had better at once attend
TO the matter.

a Rsminieense Of Jacob $. Harden.

In the course of q sermon preached
by Rev. DR.. Fish, of Newark, on Sun
day last, in reference to the recent ex-
ecution of Harden for wife murder,
the following incident was related:
When five years of age, Jacob s..
Harden lay at the point of death, and
no one expected that he could recover.
A clergyman was called in by his dis
tressed parents, and earnest prayer
was offered for his recovery, or that
grace might be vouchsaved to his pa
rents to bow to a dispensation of Prov
idence. His mother particularly seem
cd unwilling to give him up. He was
spared and recovered only to cover
cover himself with infamy, and to
bring down the gray hairs of his pa
rents with sorrow to the grave. DR..
Fitch said he wasin possession of all
the facts connected with the incicents,
having received a letter containing
them from the clergyman who was
present on that occasion whose name
however, he was not at liberty to give.

From Milford

From Milford
A RUNAwAY.-On last Thursday
afternoon, as Mr.. r. L. Macintyre
and lady friend, with light carriage
and two horses, were leisurely descen-
ding hill on their way from Everitts-
town to Milford, the horses took
fright and ran away, caused by the
breaking of the breast-strap of the of
horse. For near one half a mile Mr.
Macintyre kept the runaway horses In
the open road, and their ride, though
rapid. was safe; but Ia turning cor
ner, the carriage was overturned and
they thrown ont. After running q
quarter of a r1ile further, the horses
stopped from mere exhaustion, being
completely wound up in the harness.
The horses were not much injured !;
though the top of the carriage, the
dasher, and one wheel were damaged
to the tune of $35 or $40. What
however, seemed almost miraculous,
was. that neither Mr.. Macintyre nor
his lady friend were injured beyond 9
few cuts and bruises although the
former thinks he was dragged some
distance while entangled with the
lines His injuries amount to bruise
or two on each knee, on one hand,
one on the shoulder, and o sprained
ankle. Already. to-day, Monday,
under the careful treatment of his at.
tendant physician, Maj. Chas. Bar
toilette, he is able, supported by a
cane, to be about. The lady's inju-
ries consist chiefly of a bruise over one
eye, which, though somewhat discol-
oring 1t, is not likely to prove danger

Harden Q Forger.


The Phillipsburg Standard says -
" We have been credibly informed
that Jacob s. Harden. the young
criminal whose execution in the jail
yard of this county for the murder of
his wife, is still fresh in the public
mind, did on the identical day that lie
purchased the deadly draught where
with to destroy the sworn partner of
his joys, and of his griefs, present at
the Phillipsburg, Bank a forged check
$1,000 on the Belvidere Bank, drawn
on John |. Blair, its President.
It appears that Harden dropped in
to the store of MessrS. Creveling and
Davis, at Washington, and obtained q
ST Belyidere Bank bill, and also O
blank check on said bank. He then
filed up the check, making it payable
to the bearer, endorsed thereon the
name Of John /. Blair, and presented
it at the counter of the Easton Bank,
but the officers would not accept 1t on
the ground OF alleged non acqusin,
lance with the circumstances of the
endorser, at the same time telling Har.
den that If the endorser we're good he
could no doubt get the money at the
Phillipsburg Bank Having implicit
confidence in the deceptive character
of the bogus document, Harden next
appeared at the Phillipsburg Bank
but the officers Of that institution be-
ing familiar with the genuine sigma
ture of Mr. Blair, Immediately detect.
ed the forgery, and fatty refused &C
ceptance Of the same. Upon being
questioned, Harden said that he wan
ted the money to pay in the Clinton
Bank, when he was told by the officer
that the check would answer that pur
pose just as well and that he shoult
SO dispose oft.
