saws that Mrs. Richardson, near that town,
had missed her little boy, and went out into
the garden to hunt him. To her horror she
saw the little fellow, eighteen months old,
literally enveloped in the folds of a monster
snake. She heroically seized the snake in
her hands and tore it loose. No sooner was
it loose, however shan it ferociously made
for the mother, and ceiled itself about her
person, attempting to strangle her as it did
the boy. She again seized it, and Olsen
gagged herself from it, and killed it with an
axe. The little child sweled up for several
DAYS, but has finally recovered. The snake
was what is called the blue racer, ;" which
does not bite, but strangles. 1t measured

A good story is told of distinguished
mathematician in the army, remarkable for
want of practical judgment, sometimes
seen in other mathematicians. This officer

matical formulas When it was done, the
bridge was found to be under water He

THE ebay" SCALES. We hear many
complaints in regard to the incorrectness of
the hay scales, in this place. In fact,
we are told that, in one instance, where
load of hay had been weighed on pair OF
steelyards, and then drove on to the scales
and weighed, there was ever SIX hundred
pounds of a discrepancy between the two.
Again, we are informed by gentleman who
had number of loads weighed, on the
same day, and of the same lot of hay, that
the largest load was much the lightest, as
indicated by the scales, when, in fact, he
b leved it to be much the heaviest. We
mention these things, not in the spirit OF
fault-fnding, but in the hope that our bor-
ough authorities will institute an investlga-
ton, and if, as is alleged, the scales are
Incorrect, that they apply the proper coTec-
tive. Justice between buyer and seller
demands this at their hands.

CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY DIR.
~ SGHENCKS s MEDICINES


To cure consumption, the system must be pre-
pared so that the lungs will heal. TO accomplish
this. the liver and stomach must first be cleansed
and appetite created for good wholesome food,
which, by these medicines will be digested prop
erly, and good healthy blood made thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck's Mandrake
Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
accumulatiops; and by using the Sea Weed
Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutricious as well
medicinal, and, by using the three remedies,
all impurities expelled from she system, and
good, wholesome blood made, which will repe all
disease. If patients will take these medicines
according to directions, consumption very fire.
Guently in its last stage yields readily to their
ton. Take the Pills frequently. to cleanse the
liver and stomach. Itdoes not follow that because
the bowels not costive they are not required,
or sometimes in diarrhea they ere necessary.
The stomach must be kept healthy, and an apPe-
tite created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act
on the respiratory organs properly and allay an
irritation. Then all that is required TO perform
a permanent cure is to prevent king cold Bx-
ercise about the rooms much possible, eat all
the richest foCd-fat meat. game. and, in fact,
