ETC., was charged with the theft OF twine.
Richard T. White testified that three or four
months ago he was informed that he was being
robbed by some one in hls employ. Up to that
time he had had no suspicion of 1t. He then
commenced under direction OF the police, to

ing, the neighborhood of Ninth and Locust
streets was terribly excited by the appearance
rushing down Ninth street. and turning into
Locust, dashing along the sidewalks ald at
tacking everything in his course. In the latter
named street, he tossed a small boy with his
horns, injuring him, but perhaps not seriously.
He also trampled upon a little GIRL Az the
corner of an alley in Locust street, below Ninth
a rope attached to his horns became entangled
around tree box, arresting his progress, when
a lad some 1ftcen years old, named James Will
son Street, approached HIM with a small re.
volver and shot him, the ball passing just below
the shoulder, and doubtless penetrating the
heart, for the animal fell dead. His throat was
then cut A report that the inturiated beast
had killed several children attracted large
crowd and a number of policemen to the spot.
1t seems hat the animal broke loose from a
drove at Arch street wharf, and had dashed
from that point to the place where his mad
career was thus summarily ended.

THE KIDNEYS,

The kidneys are two in number, sit
uated at the upper part of the loin,
surrounded by fat, and consisting of
three parts, viz: the anterior, the in
terror, and the exterior.
The anterior absorbs the interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve a deposit for the
urine, and convey it to the exterior; the exterior
is conductor also, terminating in a single tube,
and called the ureter; the ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various
coveringsor tissues, divided into parts, viz: the
upper, the lower, the nervous, and the mucous
The upper expes, the lower retains. Many have
a desire to urinate without the ability Others u
rinate with hout the ability to retain. This fire.
quently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must
bring into action the muscles, which are engaged
in their various functions. If they are neglected

The reader must also be made aware
that however slight may be the attack. it is sure
to affect his bodily health and mental powers, as

gress shall pass all laws necessary for that pur-
pose.

ton of the United States including the amend
ment prohibiting slavery, and under its provi-
sions will accord to those emancipated all their

to regulate the qualification of its citizens.

little relief.
Having seen your preparations ex-

of advertised remedies, and had found
them worthless and some quite injurious; in fact,
1 despaired of ever getting well, and determin-
ed to use no remedies unless l knew of the ingre-
dients 1t was this that prompted me to use your
remedy As you advertised that it was compos-
ed of BUcHU, cUBEBs, and JUMPER BERRIES, it oc-
Cured to me and my physician as an excellent
combination, and, with his advice after an exam
ination of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist L concluded to try it. l commen-
ced its use about eight onths ago, at which time
1 was confined to my room. From the first bot
tie was astonished and gratifed at the benef-
cal effect, and arter using it three weeks, a.
BILE to walk out felt much like writing you
fun statement of my case at the time but thought
my improvement light only be temporary and
therefore concluded to defer and see if it would
effect perfect cure, knowing then it would be of
greater value to you end more satisfactory to IN
I am now able to report that cure
is effected after using the remedy for
five months.

months, and feel as well in all respects
as ever did.

system, do not mean to be without it whel ever
occasion may require its use in such affections
