"Yours, truly, THOMAS HoLLEN."
The defendants, of course, knew that
Esq. Hollen, even tho acting under the
advice ofhis medico- clerico-legal mandate,
had no power to discharge either the pros
ecutor or defendants from their recogni-
zance and prepared for trial.
But on Monday of Court they are to
receive a still greater surprise The

The SEASON OF SToRMs.-The blasts
of Autumn and the chill storms of ear
ly winter are apt to make sad inroads
upon the constitutions of the feeble. In old
times at the commencement of every season
was the fashion to take a strong cathaItiC
as a safeguard against change of tempera-
ture. 1t was worse than useless practice.
The people of our day understand the mat
ter better. Instead of depicting the system
they reinforce il. In the methcd they adopt
they exhibit wise discrimination. Instead
of resorting to the vitiated stimulants of
commerce, or any OF the compounds derived
from them, they put their faith in the only
absolutely pure invigorant procurable in the
market-HOSTETTER STOMACH BIT
TIERS. Their faith is well founded Never
has apy tonic medicine been prepared with
such scrupulous pascision and conscientious
care. 1t is a vege lie compound of which
every ingredient is sound, wholesome, and
medicin in the true sense of the word.
Now we have three prominent national com
plants. One-half of the adult population Of
the United States suffer more or less, either
from diseases of the stomach, arrangements
of the liver, or affections of the kidneys.
In no other land under the Heaven are these
maladies so general as in this country, and
HosTETTER's BITTERs is specific for them
all, unless organic III Their origin, and, there
fore, beyond cure. And let those who are
fortunate enough to be exempt from them
at present understa one great fact. viz :
that an occasional use of this vitalizing tonic
will as certainly prevent them as the sun
will prevent the earth from freezing where
its genial beams descend.-C C0Ranapai Gated.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-
The Philadelphia Daily Ne,cs says: While
holding the Court of Common Pleas yes
terday, Judge Brewser escaped violent and
sudden death in such maner as to render
the interposition of the divine hand almost
special providence. The Judge was
seated in an arm chair, almost directly
under the ventilator in the ceiling. A
tipstave approached him with message,
which of course he was obliged to yer
in whispers. To hear the Judge leaned
forward At that very instant, with a
tremendous crash, upon the back of his
chair, there decended from the circumfer-
ence of the ventiIator the iron centre
pierced to receive it. The weight of the
piece is about forty-fve pounds 1t COM
pletely demolished the back of the chair,
missing the spinal column Of the Judge by
a bare inch. Had not the tipstave come
up at the precise moment that he did, and
had not the Judge leaned forward that the
whispering might be audible to him, his
death would have been beyond all posi-
bic peradventure. The escape is one of
the most remarkable on record.
