On Friday, April 9th, DR. NJ. Cald-
well was called to see Mr.. Frank Arch
ey, residing on Chestnut street, beyond
the old Catholic church. The Doctor
found Mr.. Arehey suffering from severe
hemorrhogs from the nose, so severe
that his friends thought him to be dy-
ing, and the docter himself considered
it very critical case. The usual rem
edies were applied to arrest the bleed
ing. Large doses of acids were given,
and the hemorrhage was slightly arrest
ed. A violent irritation of the stom-
ach was soon visible, and an attempt 10.
vomit was made. Something was dis
covered in the throat, and the Doctor
Immediately took thcrefrom substance
in decomposed state, about six inches
in length, resembling somewhat the tail
Of an ordinary snake. The hemorrhage
at once ceased, and the patient appear
ed better The next day the Doctor
called and found the patient bleeding
again, and unable to speak. The acid
was again given, and the same ir1ita-
ton of the stomach produced. An eff
fort was made to vomit, and DIR. Cald-
well took from the patients mouth a
substance, seven or eight inches IN
length, in state Of decomposition, re-
sembling the remains of the organism
of some reptile. The substances thus
disgorged were Immediately put into
spirits for preservation, and upon SUBJ
sequent examination the evidence SEEM
ed indisputable that the remains OF a
large sized lizard had been thrown
from the patients stomach. One webb
foot with three toes, about Ii inches IN
1 length, with regular points, remained
undecomposed, and was clearly dis
cernable. DR.. Caldwell is of the opm-
ion that the whole of this substance Is
the decayed organism Of a lizard
How the reptile was introduced into
the stomach, how il grew and when 1T
died, is not found in any book of natu-
r raj history. MIR. Archey died an about
two weeks after the reptile substance
was taken from his throat. Thia re-
markable specimen can be seen at DIR.

COMPLIMENT 10 COUNTRY BOYS
One Of the leading business mon of
our city who has accumulated over n
million of dollars and huiising million,
paid one of the neatcst OFF hand COM
pIimcnts TO country boys that could be
bestowed. lie was taking of huisness
matters generally and among other
things spoke Of clerks and the scarcity
of good solid young men occasioned
by the war;. He said that there were
plenty of young men in fine bloth call
ing for situations but they did not suit
him. He preferred n very differancc
kind of stock, that came from the
country in rough sIothes, for something
could be made out of them, But such
yaung men had generally gone into the
army. while the more pretending class
that have more clothes thau branes
have remained behind.
He spoke of country boys that soon
made clerks worth fifteen hundred OF
two thousand year, and yet who had
volunteered out of sense Of duty
but whose Communication he woule gladl,
have paid to retain them, had he not
felt it wrong to inffuance them against
the service of their country. The best
he could was to say to them that j
they would come back TO his emplo,
without any bad habits, he would

The Doc TAx.-We would call the
attention Of Supervisors to the require
ments of Act No. 2l6, Laws of 1888,
page 96l, requiring tax of one dollar
on each dog, to be assessed upon the
owner thereof, This is to be done by
the 18th day of May, Collectors are
to retain ten per cent. for fees; and in
case of non-payment for ten days, the
dog may he killed by anybody. The
proceeds 60 to the primary school
fund. Any person having dog in his
possession is to be deemed the owner.
This law, we suppose, was designed
primarily for the protection of sheep ;
and as there are now more sheep IN the
State than ever before, and IS they
have vastly increased within a short
time, il is desirable that the tax upon
dogs should be enforced in order that
those which are worthless may be killed
and prevented from wantonly destroys
ing a vast amount Of property, ~

that will not escape the attention of

islation of Congress inteded to aid the
financial situation and promote the sue

posed by the Democrats. They voted
against the gold bill, they help Kill, by
amendments, and finally voted against,
the first National currency bill, and arc
now trying to array the people against
the present bill, pretending that is an
encroachmenf upon State rights. They
also refused, the other day, an attempt
TO add so per cent. duties all around

amended tariff should be perfected. II

icians are deliberately aiming TO embar.

SOME DAY.


Some day" is tho burden Of many song
at has never been done into rhythm. Florence
ercy has thus given one Of them:-- p-'
You smooth the tangles fiom my hair
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say.
You'll think of this again some day,
"a Some dayP'
/ do not fear the power Of Time, ~
Nor count on years Of fadeless prime,
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among those heavy locks Of mine;
Ay. laugh as gaily as you may,
Aou'll think Of this again some day.
O Some day!
Some day shall not feel, as now,
Your soft hand upon my brow
! shall not slight your light commands
And draw the long braids through my
hands;
shall be silent and obey
And sou-will not laugh that day;
NJ Some days
/ know how hong your loving hands
Will finger with these glossy bands
When you shall weave as my last crown
OF these thick braidings, long and brown
But you will see no touch of gray
Adown their shining length that day
Some day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Uponthe lips that answer not,
You'll take from these one treasured iress
And leave the rect to silentness-
Remembering that used 10 say
You'll think Of this some day.
- Some day!

Lead us not into Temptation.

The following incident, which is re-
lated by one who was witness of it,
is worthy of preservation;
During one of the days Of the mus
ter held ut Concord, ayear or two since,
after q long and tedious march, the
troops were halted for rest, a portion
of them in front of an ancient but com
Portable looking mansion, everything a
bout which bespoke thrift and happi-
ness. In front of the house was pump,
and the old-fashioned water-trough.-
Several OF. the soldiers stepped to the
pump to o-slake their thirst. There they
were joined by the owner of the place,
an old gentleman who had seen more
than the "three score years and ten y
allotted to man, and who had witnessed
the muster of the "minute men" on
Concord Green, on the memorable 18th
of April. The sight of the troops seem
ed to stir his inmost soul, and he rubbed
his hands in glee, congratulating the
troops meanwhile upon their soldierly
appearance, and relating incidents OF
the times that "tried mems souls. -
One Of the young men presently drew
from his pocket 2 flask, and after taking
n draugbt, presented it to the old man
with an invitation to imbibe. He res
pectfully but firmly declined.
"Oh take some it will do you good,
said the young man.
"No, guess not" responded the old
man, lit is now twenty years since
have tasted drop of intoxicating liq
uor, and j guess / won't begin again.
" If you haven't taken any for sc
long, it's time you took little. 1t viii
warm your BLOOD" urged the young
man.
No, / guess not" responded the ole
man, in voice that plainly showed tha
he was half inclined to drink.
After little more urging he took tn,
flask, aud raising it to his lips, was aho'
to swallow the poison, when adaughter
who had been witness of the seem
from door of the house. and hear,
the conversation, uttered the singh
word Father" in avoicc which thrill
ed every hearer, and caused every liml
in the old man to tremble. The fiasl
dropped, and in its contact with TIL
ground was broken, and the liquid
contained was drank by the thirst,
earth.
Thank God, I'm savedl" exclaim
ed the old man,
The tears which started to the eye
, of those who witnessed the inciden,
testified to the impression which it mad
upon their hearts, and which viii prob
