Mr.. Jack Stratton is seventy-two years old,
has no one to assist him on the farm, and has

The following particulars Of the death Of
the singular Jersey City miser, the fact of
which has been already announced, will be
read with interest We find the account in
the New York Times Of Saturday
On Wednesday evening last, Lyman
Allyn, an aged boarder at Taylor's Hotel,
in Jersey City, was found dead sitting in his
chair in his room. His death was duly re-
ported on the following morning, but there
we're circumstances developed yesterday
which surround his life and death with pecu-
liar interest. His brother, Thomas Allyn,
of Groton, Conn, in company with sister,
the only relatives of the deceased, arrived
yesterday, and with the permission of Coro-
her Burns, took charge Of the corpse. They
examined also the two dilapidated trunks that
stood in the corner Of their brothers. bed
room, and IN ono Of them were found stocks
and bonds, deeds and securities Of various
descriptions representing a fortHue OF $780,
600
His life during the last i've years had
been most remarkable. Ee was a man of
over seventy, and SO inGrm that he consumed
half an hour or more in coming down from his
room 10 the dining room. Yet he lived up
on the highest floor to save money, and was
never known when upon the street to use q
horse car, saying that they mad the effect to
make people lazy, and he would hot patro-
nize them He came from his room to his
meals but once day, eating the very small
est quantity Of the cheapest food lie
sought no society, and would permit 40 per-
son to enter his room but the chambermaid,
and she but once week While arranging
his room he invariably watched her closely.
To an observer the room contained very
little that was worth watching. Two old
trunks, scanty wardrobe, made up of cheap
ready made coats, two hats, one white the
other black, and both thirty years old, patch
ed shoes and boots, a copy Of Webster's
Dictionary, Bible and a medical book,
were I'll hat the room contained, and its
situation and interior dcsolatcness made it a
dreaFy abode The old man had lived here
alone for nearly six years. declining ali the
while to see any visitors, for, he said, they
cane only because they thought ho had mon
ey; chat they were mistaken, for he was
very poor, and had great difficulty in paying
his board bill.

LATEST DISCOVERY IN
Medication.

HTl1E great difficulty which physicians have
been laboriug for centuries to overcome has
at length been obviated. A Vegetable Cathartic
preparation of the class. and as agreeable to
TO the taste as ordinary candy, Is now offered to
the sick in the form Of a Lozenge.
DIR. Ermus Winslow's Liver and Stomach
L. zenge 10 the most important medical novelty
that modern chemistry has produced. It contains
two botanical extracts perfectly harmless in them
selves, but embodying all the remedial properties
of mercury, and destined in this pleasant form to
supercede and Danish from general use, the nause-
Gus pills and potions of which that dangerous ex-
citan' is the main ingrediant. More than
ONE THOUSAND EXPERIMENTS
were made by the inventor of this peerless remedy
before it brought to its present state of per-
fection. The Lozenge is perfectly harmless in its
operation, and although the medicinal ste of its
curative components has been extinguished by
chemical art, their virtues remain as active and
potent as ever.
In Dyspepsia, Bilousness, Con,tpation, Sick or
Nervous Headache, Piles, Dropsy, and the irregu-
larties to which the feeble subject. the Lo-
any of the horrible and disgusting compounds

equal either among advertised preparations or the
prescription of the regular pharmacopeia;
