BEDFORD, May 8, 1869,
I take great pleasure in giving my testimony to
the value of ''Middleton's Wonderful Pain Cure -
| have been a martyr to Rheumatism. For two
months previous to Feb. 18th, last, was suffering
intensely with pain severe, that during all that
time had not one night of comfortable sleep. |
could not put my hands TO my face, could not
comb my own hair, nor feed myself but after
having the Pain Cure applied once, found relief
enough to give me comfortable sleep, and with its
steady use, 1 continued to get better, and now at
the end of ten weeks from its frst application, /
have comparatively free use Of my hands, sleep
well and can attend to business. It has done me
more good than sll other medicines 1 have ever
used put together and cheerfully give this GER
tifcate of its value.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 81

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 80
About o'clock this morning drove
of so head of Texan cattle that had
been landed from the international
ferry boat stampeded and ran in every
direction through the streets at furi-
GUS rate, goring and trampling every.
thing that came in their way. One
man was tossed by mad bull into
Niagara street Park. A woman was
fatally gored at another point, and a
number of persons were more or less
injured. Five or six of the infuriated
animals were shot by citizens. About
40 head are missing. Some of the
cattle swan the Niagara River and
scattered on the Canada side. Others
are still running in the suburbs. Had
the stampede occurred at any Other
hour of the day, when crowds of per
sons would have been in the street the
casualties would have been more mum
erous.

The Coal Troubles.

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 80.
From 1000 to 1900 men from the
coal mines north and south of this city
arrived here to-day by rail and wagons
Their avowed purpose is to prevent
the coal miners of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Company
from continuing work. They are now
holding their second meeting, but have
taken no forcible action so far. Meet
ings of the citizens have been held, at
the call of the Mayor, to protect the
miners, and volunteers are fast enroll
ing. A meeting of the Select Council
is called for this evening Much ex-
element prevails.
SECOND DISPATCH. III P. NJ
All is quiet here tonight The bars
and saloons in the city have been closed
by order of Mayor Hill. Four bun
bred special police have been sworn in,
and 700 citizens have been enrolled as
volunteers, under command of Col
Charles G. Royce. All the coal mines
are heavily guarded. At the request of
resident miners who are now employed
in other districts, but who have return
ed since it was voted to resume work,
that question has been reopened, and a
final ballot will be taken by the Miners
Union at 10 o'clock to morrow morning
Six mines were rked to day, but
none with full force. Many of the
miners from other localities left on the
evening trains. The miners of the
Delaware and Hudson Conal Company,
at ELEPHANT, voted to-day to return to
| work.

The question of the annexation Of
Canada to the United States is again
awakening the liveliest interest among
the people of the New Dominion.
Many of the better and more infuen-
tial class of citizens have been for some
time in earnest consideration of the ex-
pediency of the proposed measure, and
their favorable conclusions are mani
tested in the outspoken sentiments Of
the meeting recently held at the city of
Quebec. The meeting itself has no es-
pecial significance further than to indi-
cate the tide of popular feeling, from
the fact that it was appointed simply
for the purpose of arranging another
and more representative convention,
from the voice of which an intelligent
opinion may be formed regarding the
probability of any definite result Per-
sistent attempts have been made by the
enemies of annexation policy to keep
the details of even the preliminary
meeting from the public, but in this
they have failed. Mr.. o. Deloiere pre-
sided and said substantially that the
citizens of Canada were aware of the
decline in their trade and commerce
that their people were leaving their cit
les that the farmers were abandoning
their farms and going to the West ;
that while 1850, 600 of their compatri-
OTIS were happy, prosperous and con-
tented in the United States, they were
at home desolate and miserable, and
during one.half the year were restrict
ed to the bare necessities of life. The
speaker referred secondly to our rail
roads and canals. our industry and re-
surces, and said that with them Cana
dian enterprise meanly compared
Mr.. Caron, ex. M. P. P, Mr.. Con
roy, City Councillor, and others, ad-
dressed the meeting. 1t was shown
that in 1864, they did business with
the United States for six months
amounting to $30,000,O 900, while in
eighteen months previously they had
traded with Great Britain to the
amount of only $20,000,00
Such arguments as those must i'm
press themselves on the minds of all
who calmly consider "Shall we change
for the better o. or, as the "Tupper''
of the Montreal press expresses it,
Shall we become nation of marks
men, and the object :"
The meeting throughout was most or
derby, and the best feeling prevailed
Whatever may be the result of these
deliberative conventions of the Canadi-
an people, it is safe at least to say that
it is step in the right direction. The
advantage of annexation would we be-
lieve prove two-fold. The interests of
Canada will be best consulted when
within the border of the United States,
and our own northern frontier will be
greatly fortified by the acquisition.
Canadian sentiment is just now arous-
ed, and points alone to the U. S. for
relief. We should be glad to see the
New Dominion State, or several Of
them, in the Union.

SIAMEsE TwINs.-We find the following in
teres ing particulars in regard to them in the
Bristol Ne,US:
"Ther surname is Bunker, and their given
names Chang and Eng. They reside alternate
ly at two residences, one at Mount Airy, n. O.,
and the other three miles distant in the coun-
try, one of the wives taking charge OF each
establishment They married twin sisters near
that point many years since, and each has a
family of beautiful black eyed children OF bru-
nette complexion. They are aged 81, are quite
gray-haired, and while they are in independent
circumstances they are not wealthy. Their
wives are large, healthy-loOking women, and
their country house, the only one we have seen,
is built of logs, with puncheon floor, and with
out finish or decoration. They use a Windsor
chair of double width, and bed not less than
eight feet wide. A rustic flight of steps OF
double width leads to the attic, and they pass
up and down them without difficulty. On the
occasion of our visit there was four-inch snow
on the ground, and as they were out cunning
we had to await their return. When they
made their appearance they were walking very
briskly, and soon they were engaged in spirit
ed run. On one of their inside shoulders they
carried a double barreled shot gun, and were
in fine humor. They were exceedingly pleas
ant and hospitable in their manner, and insist
ed upon second visit from us.

Mohanmed.

From an article entitled "Islam," in the new
number Of the London Quarterly, the follow
ing is selected:
His constitution was extremely delicate. He
was nervously afraid of bodily pain-he would
sob and roar under it. Eminently impractical
In all common things of life, he was gifted
with mighty powers of Imagination, elevation
OF mind, delicacy, and refinement of feeling.
" He is more modest than virgin behind her
curtain, it was said of him. He was most
lndulgent to his interiors, and would never al.
low his awkward little page to be scOlded
whatever he did. Ten years." said Anas
his servant, 'was | about the prophet, and he
never said as much as Uff' to me-" He was
very affectionate towards his family. One of
his boys died on his breast in the smoky house
of the nurse, blacksmiths' wife. He was
very fond of children. He would stop them
in the streets, and pat their little cheeks He
never struck any one in his life. The worst
expression he ever made use of id conversation
was, ''What has come to him ?-may his fore
head be darkened with mud!" When asked
to curse some one he replied, have not been
sent to curse, but to be mercy to mankind.
'He visited the sick, followed any bier he met
accepted the invitation of slave to dinner,
mended his own clothes, MIXED his goats, and
waited upon himself" relates summarily
another tradition. He never first withdrew
his hand out OF another mans palm, anC
turned not before the other had turned. Hi
hand, we read elsewhere and traditions lik'
these give good index of what the Arabs ex
pected their prophet to be-was the most gen
erous, his breast the most courageous, hi
tongue the most truthful; he was the mos
faithful protector of those he protected, tn
sweetest and most agreeable in conversation
those who saw him were suddenly filled witt
reverence, those who came near him love,
him, they who described him would say, II hav
never seen his like before or after" He wa
of great taciturnity, and when he spoke
spoke with emphasis and deiberation. and n
one could ever forget what he said. He wa:
however, very nervous and restless witha
often low-spirited, downcast as to heart an
eyes, Yet he would at times suddenly brea
through these broodings, become gay, talka
tive, jocular, chiefly among his own. H
would then delight in telling amusing littl
stories, fairy tales, and the like. He woul
romp with the children and play with the
toys-as, after his first wife's death, he ws
wont to play with the dolls his new baby-wii
had brought into his house.
