A FATAL DRINKING WAGER.-A
foolish wager was made at a wine
shop in Paris, which resulted in
death. At breakfast, where the
conversation turned on the quanti-
ty of drink which a person could
take, a bricklayer, named Floren-
tine, made a bet that he could drink
twelve glasses of wine while the
clock of the Tuilleries was striking
twelve. He drank three glasses
before the clock had struck three
times. At the next glass he stop
ped to breathe. At the seventh he
began to drink more slowly, but
making an effort, he drank off the
eighth glass. He then turned
very pale, and breathed with diff
Guilty. His friends wished to stop
the wager, but he said he would
go on, come what might, and swal-
lowed the ninth glass. He had
hardly emptied the glass, when
he fell down senseless. A surgeon
was sent for, but in spite of all his
efforts, the foolish man died in
three hours.

Mob Law in Nebraska.

The st. Louis Republican of
the oath contains the following:
The populace of Nebraska City
arrested, formally tried, and. con-
victed man named Caspar ST.
mon Frederick Dircks, charged
with killing a lad named Hamil-
ton, and stealing a number of cat
tie grazing in the vicinity. They
gave him two hours in which to
prepare for execution. This hav-
ing expired, they took him from
the jail and hung him in the Court
house square.
Dircks, before execution, con-
fessed to stealing the cattle, but
denied all connection or knowl-
edge of the murder. The testi-
mony, which was taken and pub
lished, is by no means conclusive
of his guilt of the murder. Be-
fore being hanged he regularly
made a will, leaving $4,000 to a
Miss Ellen Henderson, probably
his lady love) $4,000 to a brother,
and LOCO to the ''Trustees of
the First M. E. Church Of Ne.
braska City, Otec county, N. T."
An hour before his execution,
Dircks gave the following account
of himself:
l was born in Germany; am
twenty-seven years old; the son
of respectable parents; ran away,
came to America, entered the reg
ular army, and served five years
under Col. Robert Lee. At the
outbreak of the rebellion raised a
company in the Goth Illinois, with
the commission of first lieutenant.
Last September was mustered out
of service, as lieutenant colonel.
Was member of Andy Johnson S
body guard in Tennessee, and ac-
companied him from that State to
Washington.

DR.. Hall on Failing Eye
sight.

When the sight is beginning to
fail, the eyes should be favored as
much as possible. This can be
done
1. By sitting in such a position
as will allow the light to fall upon
the page or sewing obliquely.
2. By not using the eyes for
such purposes by any artificial
light, or before sunrise, or after
sunset.
8. By avoiding the special use
of the eyes in the morning before
breakfast.
4. BY resting them for half
moment or so while reading, or
sewing, or looking at small OBJ
jects; by looking at things at a
distance, or in the sky; relief is
immediate in so doing.
5. Never pick any collected
matter from the eyelashes or cor
ners of the eyes with the finger
nails; rather moisten it with the
saliva, and rub it away with the
nail of the finger.
6. Frequently pass the balls of
the fingers over the closed eyelids
toward the nose; this carries off
an excess of water into the nose
itself by means of the little canal
which leads into the nostrils from
each inner corner of the eye,
which canal tends to close up, in
consequence of the slightestinfam-
nation which attends weakness of
the eyes.
7. Keep your feet always dry
and warm, so as to keep any ex-
cess of blood from the other end
lof the body.
| s Use eyeglasses at first, car
ried in the vest pocket, attached
to a guard, for they are instantly
adjusted to the eye with a very
little trouble; whereas, if COM
mon spectacles are used, such a
process is required to get them
ready, that, to save the trouble,
the eyes are often strained to an
swer the purpose.
s. Wash the eyes abundantly
every morning. If cold water be
used, let it be tapped against the
closed eye with the fingers of the
right hand, not striking hard
against the balls of the eye. But
it would seem a better plan to
open the eye in pure warm water,
because warm water is more pene-
trating than cold; it dissolves
more readily any hardened mat
ter that may be about the lids,
and is more soothing and more
natural.
10. The moment the eyes feel
tired, the very moment you are
conscious of an effort to read Or
sew, lay aside the book or needle
and take walk for an hour; or
employ yourself in some active
exercise not requiring the close
use of the eyes.

Another contribution to Amer
lean literature has, says the Bal
timore Gazette, we regret to say.
Just been made in the form of a
volume entitled "The Civil War
in America" 1t is written by
Mr.. Benson J. Losing, and pre-
eents quite a handsome appear
ance. 1t is profusely illustrated
with portraits of individuals I'M
der which the author has, with
commendable forethought, caused
to be printed the names of the par
ties of whom the cuts are sup
posed to be likenesses. For many
of the other engravings he ac-
knowledges his Indebtedness to
the proprietors of Harper's Weekly
and other illustrated papers. Any
one who has ever examined that
disgusting journal of Civiliza-
ton" will know how to estimate
the value of a pictorial History"
which has obtained matter from
any such source.

The Lawrence American has the
following in regard to a Vermont
phenomenon:
E. B. Osgood, Esq, our city
Auditor, a few days since returned
from Brandon, Vt. While there
he examined the famous ice well,
so called, about which there has
been so much dicussion among the
savans. The well is of the ordi-
nary size, and forty-four feet in
depth. Atthe depth of thirty-nine
feet ice is formed on the sides of
the well, and from that down to
the water is of the usual tempera-
ture of ice water, and no matter
how the thermometer stands upon
the surface of the earth, even if it
indicates 100 in the shade, this
never varies, and the ice is always
there. In the winter the coating
is thicker. No other well in the
vicinity has this feature, and the
cause is not easily explained.

from the blood and thus cures them all alike
1t is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but it
is the cheapest and moreover is perfectly safe.
No harm can arise from its use, and the pa
tent when cured is left as healthy as if he
had never had the disease. Can this be said
of any other cure for Chills and Fever 1t
is true Of this, and its importance to those af-
ficted with the complaint cannot be over es-
tlmated. So sure is it to cure the Fever aud
Ague, that it may be truthfully said to be
certain remedy. One dealer complains that
It'll rot good medicine to sell, because one
bottle cures whole neighboThood.

The Lieutenant-Governor of Hi
