Pure blood IMAGES us well, bad blood
makes ussick. VnpOrs from poorly dlgeSted
food in the blood are condensed upon the
various organs, and serve 10 make them

surslue in WOOD county.

We learn from tho Parkersburg
Times that an an old man named Coull.
in Tygart township, Wood county,
committed suicide last Thursday morn.
ing. 1t seems that he had previously
contemplated and attempted self de-
struCtion. His mind had been for some
time in disturbed state, and the occa-
slonal use OF strong drink intensified
his mental disturbance 10 such an ex.
tent as occasionally to render him an
unsafe companion. After paroxisms
occasioned by stimulus the depression
which followed caused the most Appal-
ling melancholy, and as early as last
spring he was saved from the fatal ef-
fecls OF poison taken by him for the
purpose of ending his sufferings, only
by the most prompt and vigorous med
zeal treatment. In fact from his ad-
vanced age Il was thought he never
fully recovered from the effects of the
poison. On last Thursday, while sit
ting Mt the table, and before aid could
be called to prevent the act, he took
revolver and placing the muzzle to his
head deliberately blew out his brains.

STRANGE FRrAK or NAruRr.-The
Leroy IN. Y.1 Gazette Is responsible for
a rather though" description Of q re.
m~arkable specimen Of horse flesh owned
oy one SENECA Scott, Of that place !:
The horse walks on his fore legs and
keeps bis hind mes constantly in play,
as If he were actually using them also
for locomo.ion. One Of his fore legs Is
shaped just like q horse's hind leg, and
has u perfectly symmetrical gnmbrll
joint, just like any horses hind leg.
Strange to say, With this leg he does his
kicking, and rccomplishes bis hostility
with as much grace and accomplishment
as any horse OF his preteusions and
breeding. His physical structure other
wise is not out Of keeping with other
horses. But the chief oddly of this
singular horse remains to be described.
He has on the end Of his nose-or moro
properly on bis upper lip-a handsome,
full and fashionable moustache, which
curls outward with q flourish equal to
that of the most finished Broadway
exquisite" Mr.. Scott asks $4,000
for the horse.
