a Hook WITH A HIsToRY.-Our
friend Tom. Moore, whose candy has tick
led the palate Of every child within enty
miles of WATERFOWL, while making the ar
ticle uses an iron hook, fastened into a wall.
which has q history OF no little interest.
Before the present proprietor became pos
sessed of it, this piece of iron was part of
gallows iii an old jail in the city of Trim,
one of the most aneisat in Ireland 1t was
then in the form of bolt with an '.eye" at
the end, and for many ge generations, tn e
rope with which capital offenders were hung
was drawn through this ''eye Mr.. Moore
has himself seen many criminals executed on
this same gallowS. About fifteen years
ago, however, the old building, having been
used for either 3 fortress or a Jail probably
two hundred years, was condemned and
torn down. Mr.. Moore was present at the
time and and secured this piece Of iron as
a relic. He then had blacksmith shape it
into hook upon his forge, and bringing
10 the west has promoted it to far bsttsr
use than its former one. The sugary coils,
twists and strands which Moore fashions
with its aid for the delight of the children
far and near, are certainly far better than
the bloody work OF the han .nau which
brought death to its victims and the bitter
est sorrow 70 hundreds of housetolds.

The PRICE OF WHEAT.-Ther has
been no time within ten years when bus1-
Ell of whsst would not buy more goods than
during the present depression in prices.
Farmers generally seem to think that rise
in peice is inevitable and so desire to hold
On to their grain. They may be ri : ht in
this, but we hare tried to show in another
article that it is for their interest to sell off
enough of their produce of some kind to pay
their debts, and perhaps it might be better
for them to keep their wheat, dispose of
their unproductive stock as far az possible
and sell their surplus hay, as the prospec t
is that hay viii bring a high price. We
still incline to the opinion, however, that
there is no reason to expect any material ad-
vance in wheat at present.

SMART CALyEs.-A farmer who
lives a few miles from this city il the town
of N lford, has pair of twin heiter calves,
a year old, red and white in color, large and
handsome, and SO much alike in size and
general appearance that it is difficult to tell
them apart. But our item does not depend
alone upon such commonplace points as the
above 20 commend it to public favor; both
these calves give milk, and have done so
for several months. This unusual precocity
has been brought about by habit which
they have OF sucking each other, the opera
ton being performed by both at the same time
As faithful chroniclers we should be sorry to
mislead our readers in single particular
and will therefore state that the calves do
not seem to find the nourishment which
they obtain in the shove manner sufficient
OF itself for the purposes of sustenance ana
gro with.
We have the papers for the above and are
now ready to step aside for the next man
who has y genuine calf story to tell.

STRUGGLES AND TRIUMPHS, OR For

NUN Written by himself Illustrated !:
7s4 PIP. Hartford, Conn, J. B. Burr g
Co. 1869.
From the well-knogu publishing house
of J. B. Burr + Co. of Hartford, Conn,
comes the above entitled work. fresh, piq-
uant, and full of interest. "The Great
Snowman" having retired to private lie
in the shades of hischerished "Waldemere,
IA picture of which accompanies his book,)
has beeu induced to give the public MS
experiences during forty active years, IN
large volume of 500 pages, adorned with
over thirty excellent engravings. His pup
lie career of over ''forty busy years has
been most eventful, and is reclted to US
herein in spirited narrative, beguiiing the
reader irresistibly on to the end as surely
as he opens the book. The work is not on
ly exceedingly Instructive in that interest
ing study, "human nature, but abounds
with humorous anecdotes well told. Who
ever likes fun mingled with good sense, or
would learn "men and things" thoroughly,
and show to get along in the world, and
''make money" will be delighted with Bar
NUNS Struggles and Triumphs."
The book contains his celebrated lecture
on THE Art of Money Ge ting, which ex'
cited so much interest and comment IN
England and this country, a few years ago,
and W hich is worth in itself many times
the cost of the book. AS traveller Bar
mum exhibits as much genius as in any
other character, and it is highly amusing
to follow him on his journeys. The typo
graphy of the book is excellent, of clear,
bold type, easily. read, and does credit to
the publishers.
"STRUCGLEs AND TR IuMpHs" is a peculiar
book in every way, and is one OF those
works fortunately adapted for domestic
reading, to be taken up, if one likes, "eVery
now and them aud, opened at any page,
furnishing cheerful reading for the passing
hour. However, whoever takes it up will
be apt to be Iured on to the end before ne
stops, SO full of interest is it.

s NARROW EsCAPE.-Mr. Thomas
Lewis, who lives about five miles east of
this city, was blowing in one of his fields
last Thursday afternoon during the high
wind, and in passing large tree, two feet
and It half in diameter, it uddenly tell, the
body Of the tree str king just 1T the rear of
the team. One of the horses was instantly
killed by large limb and the crupper was
stripped from the other and he fastened to
the ground by his tail. Mr.. Lewis soon ex
tricated this horse from his close quarters,
when he was found to be wholly uninjured
The horse which was saved was by far the
most valuable of the two, aud Mr.. Laws
considers that he was extremely fortunate
to escape as he did.

How Hostetter's Bitters cure Dyspep-

THE WHOLE STORY N A NUTSHELL
The Office OF the stomach is to convert the
food into a cream-Iike semi-huid, called
CaYmE. This isefected parity by the action
or solvent. called the gastric Juice. which
exudes from the coating Of the stomach. anu
partly by mechanical movement of thai
orsan, hich chmaHs, at il were the dis
solving aiiment. The CaYzsE passes from
the stomach in3o the duodenum. or en-
trance to the bowels, where it is subjected
TO the action Of the bile, and the nutritious
portion of it converted into a fluid called
Chyts, which evidently becomes blood.
Now, it is evident that if the great soly
ent the gastric juice, is not produced III
sufficient quantity, or if the mechanical
action of the stomach is not sufficiently
brisk, the first process Of digestion will be but
imperfectly performed 1t is also clear that
if the liver, which plays such an imports Di
part in changing the nourishlng portion OF
the cbyme into the material of the blood,
congested, or in any unnatural condition.
The second process will not be thoroughly
accomplished The result of the t1co faii,!res
is dyspepsia complicated with BiNousRess.
The mode in which HOSTETTER'S
'SloMACl III E1iSo operate ID SuCu Ct5GS
is this they nyigorate the cellular mem
brane OF the stomach, which evolves the gas
trio JUICE, thereby insuring an ample sufi-
cheney of fluid to completely dis olive the
food he also act upon the nerves of the
Stomach, causing an acceeration of the me-
chancal movement necessary to reduce the
food To homogeneous mass. They also act
specifically upon the liver, strengthening it,
and SO enabling it to produce an ample and
regular supply of bile, for purpose of con-
verting the muir. tious particles of the Chyane
into Chyte, and promote the passage through
the bowels of the useless debris.
In this way, HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
cure dyspepsia and liver complaint. The
explanation is plain, simple, philosophical,
and true.

MAN FOUND DEAD.-L4st Saturday
afternoon Mr.. Thomas Lewis, while passin z
along the railroad about a mile east of Ixo
MIA Center, saw q man lying in shallow
ditch short distance from the track He
returned to the village, and obtaining as
siStance, the body was removed to house
near the depot. Monday forenoon a coro-
ners jury was summoned and an inquest
held, DR.. Williams Of this city assisting
when the following facts were elected. The
man had been seen to pass through the viii
lage on Thursday noon. Several spoke to
hi1a, and from his actions aud conduct they
all considered him to be insane idiotic
He was about 80 years of age, apparently,
with long, brown hair, thin sandy beard.
and about five fret seven inches in height,
His clothes were of some wooden texture
aud coarse in quality; he had on two coats
and three wooden shirts There were fifteen
cents in his pocket, aud also a scrap of
Norwegian paper aud piece of a ra ilIoad
time card
An examination by the surgeon showed
thai his right arm had suffered compound,
comminuted fracture, short distance above
the elbow, and that his r ght side had been
crushed in. The appearance of the lungs
indicated that the man was probably very
near dead when he fell into the water, as
there was less evidence of asphyxia thau
would have been th case if drowning had
| been the sole cause of his death. The jury
/ from the evidence prod uced concluded that
| he was walking upon the track toward
! the east on Thursday afternoon, and was
struck by the engine of the east bound pas
5enger train. He had probably been thrown
| some distance and afterwards had crawled
under the fence and fell into the ditch,
! where his body was discovered. Nothing
! certain has yet been learned in regard to
lhe unfortunate mans home or friends,

The people of Arizona will thank Secre-

may be promptly diSbursed. The assurnnra
that dealers with the government will not
longer have to take their pay ia Youcht rs

usually disposed of only at large discount,
will tend TO reduce the cost ofsupplies there
and to generally benefit the country.
