This great medicine cured DR.. j. II. SCHENcK,
the Proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption
when il had assumed its most formidable aspect,
and when speedy death appeared to be inevita-
BILE. His physicians pronounced his case incura.
Gle, when he commenced the use of this simple
but powerful remedy. His health was restored
in a very short time, and no return of the dis.
ease has been apprehended, for all the symptoms
quickly disappeared, and his present weight is
more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his atten,
tion exclusively TO the cure of Consumption and
the diseases which are usually complicated with
it, and the cures effected by his medicines have
been very numerous and truly wonderful. DR..
SCHENCK makes professional visits to several OF
the larger cities weekly, where he has q large
concourse of patients, and it is truly astonishing
to see poor consumptives that have to be lifted
out of their carriages, and in q few months
healthy, robust persons. DIR. SCHENCK'S Pull
MONIC SYRUP, SEAWERD TONIC, and
MANDRAKE PILLS are generally all required
in curing Consumption. Full directions accom-
pany each 80 that any one can take them with.
ont seeing DR.. SCHENCK, but when it is conven.
lent il is best to see him. He gives advice free
but for thorough examination with his Respir-
oneter his fee is three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two

stage of Consumption, and the other az he now

wrote a work on the subject, giving
personal observations, &c, which was
approved by Professor Agassis. of Har-
ward University, and published by the
Smithsonian Institute of Washington,

his death, he occupied himself closely,

When Lee invaded the State, in 1862,
the military spirit that had been edu-
Gated at Lexington, Va, joined with ma

Drill Master of the Mcclellan Drill

ward as Lieut.. Col. Of the 5th Pennsyl-
vania Regiment. In all of these posi-
tions his military conduct was always

conduct in civil life.
To his family the loss is most heavy,
for in domestic life he was all that

Dcnlh Of DIR. j. Il. Clemens.

A deep gloom spread over the commu-
nifty this morning, as the fact became
known that one a the first citizens OF
Easton had passed away. DIR. j. Brack-
enridge Clemens, after sickness of
about two weeks, was carried off by ty-
phoid fever, at 1880 o'clock last night.
His symptoms were favorable until 9
A. NJ. of yesterday, after which time he
grew continually weaker from hemor-
rhagcs of the bowels, and died, without
pain, ut the time above named.
The fact is almost too great in its i'm
port for. our realization; and if the COM
munity, among whom he moved, feel
deeply his loss, we, who by means of
personal intercourse, and his occasional
contributions to this sheet, have been
enabled properly to appreciate him,
must feel it still more deeply. Articles
that have come from his pen, and ap-
peared from time to time in these col
umns. have attracted the attention that
they deserved. In him, the mien and
manners spoke The man and stamped
him as the possesor of true ehivalry.
But his practical! shaving forth; Of the
estimable qualities thus indicated, gave
him that reputation in the community,
which in thought will always be ASSOC
ciated with his name.5 Although his
private affairs demanded much of his
attention, his public spirits could not
be concealed. Even the casual observer
will remember him as one of those who
first interested themselves in drawing
public attention to the Importance Of
courses of lectures in our midst; also as
one of the principal originators and off,
GERS of the Farmers and Mechanics In
stitute. His former connection with
the Easton Library is also well known.
DIR. Clemens was born. in Wheeling,
Va, January Is, 1925, his parents being
DIR. James w and Mrs Ellen Clemens.
His brothers are DR.. James W. Clemens,
Of St. Louis, No., and Hon. Sherrard
Clemens, n. c., Of Virginia, both now
here. In July, 1s45, he graduated Mt
the Virginia Military Institute, in bex-

graduated in the Medical department of

Th. Elephant n. n walker.

We have generally found TWO curious
points overlooked or ignored by
writer's; one is the rapid and noiseless
movement of this animal in the thick
est cover, the other his capabilities OF
passing over ground for him apparently
I'M feasible. The elastic, noiseless foot
fall of tie elephant has been frequently
referred to by writer's on Indian sub
jects, and has been rightly asserted to
be the most agreeable feature in jour-
neying on elephant back. This pecu-
Iiarity may he easily explained by ex-
animation of the structure Of the ami
mails foot; but the silent, stealthy way
in which he viii pass through the
densest thicket, literally, Slipping"
away, when his acnte senses OF smell OF
hearing warn. him Of danger,
has been generally overlooked, and APP
pears to us to be somewhat difficult OF
explanation. Let any one unshlied in
the mysteries of "bush-ranging' at
tempt to move even few PAGES in an
ordinary fox covert without noise; and
he will form some idea of the difficult
ties presented to the passage of so huge
an animal az the elephant through the
dense tangled underground Of o South
African "bush," Yet that the animal,
despite his enormous bulk, will draw
OFF, when within few yards OF his
pursuer, without the slightest noise,
and with the greatest rapidity, even in
the thickest cover, is undeniable.
Again, his powers of passing over diff
cult ground are often moderated even
by hunters.
When experiments were first made In
India in training elephants to draw the
guns, it was observed with surprise that
the animals powers of ascending steep
and rugged ground were far greater
than had been anticipated. The gun, q
light six FOUNDER, with which the trial
was first made, was drawn mp slope SO
steep as to require the animal to crawl
upon its four knees, without hesitation.
On the other hand, hampered by the
gun and harness, the elephant-a small
female-showed unusual dread of soft
and swampy ground. In Africa, marches
do not seem to possess the same terror
for these animals in their wild state, for
if they offer tempting pools, however
uncertain the footing may be, elephants
appear to find q track across them.
In the river courses, too, deepened
as they are by the torrents of the rainy
season many yards below the surface OF
the surrounding country, and having
banks nearly perpendicular, small, sha-
DIV pools, close sheltered from the suns
rays, often remain in the hot season,
when the rest of the stream has disap-
peared, and to these, should no other
way be open, may be found tracks of the
animals, leaving no doubt that they
have reached the coveted water by slip
ping down on their posteriors. In what
