A strange suicide was committed in Harris

A strange suicide was committed in Harrison
county, Missouri, on the 1st. A traveller stop
ped at farm where they were threshiDg grain,
and going in the barn-yard began talking to
some of the men at work, telling them he used
to work with machine, whereupon he asked
leave to drive. His request was granted, and
after short spell he asked if he might not feed
the machine. 1t was quite apparent that ne
was well posted in regard to thresbing, and
having fed for some time he looked around at
ed more power Standing Still till the cyn-
der was flying and buzzng around like double
geared lightning and every one becoming
alarmed at the awful motion, he jumped head
first against the teeth of the cylinder, and in
less than an instant he was ushered into eter-
nifty. No one knew him and there were no pa
pers upon his person by which he could be
identified.

A Torpid system

Sometimes, without any assignahle cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way,
and strange torpor falls alike on the body and
intellect. There is little no pain perhaps, but
the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous
and muscular system seems to have departed.
and an Indifference to the pleasures of lfe and
even of its grave responsibilities, takes the place
of that earnest interest in both which character
ICES every we'll balanced mind when in a healthy
condition.
This state of partial collapse is often the pre-
monitory symptoms of some serious malady. It
indicates Enthusiastically that the vital powers are
languishing aud need stinulant. In such cases
the effect of few doses of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great ton
ic wakes up the system from its browse. The Sc
cretions and the circulation receive new impe-
tus. The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity
under the operations of the specific, like the
slackened strength of musical instrument in the
process of tuning. Lethargy and debility are
replaced by energy and vigor, the spirits rise,
and life, that almost seemed burden while the
season of depression lasted, becomes once more
enjoyable. That such radical change should
be produced by remedy entirely davoid of the
powerful akaloids and minerals so extensively
used in modern practice, may seem incredible to
those who pin their faith on the medicinal effica-
cy of active poisons, but if these skeptics will
take the trouble to enquire of those who have
tested the corrective and Alternative virtues of the
Bitters, under the circumstances described, they
will find the statement to be true. oc4-lm

lives in Rarpers Ferry, and fifty families have
been rendered homeless-their houses having
