Help for the Nervous is it to be
found? cries the trembling victim Of nervous
debility. Not in the tavern dram; that fires
up the circulation for moment. and is sue
ceeded by collapse. Not in purgative pills, or
Lenten diet, but in an invigorant and re-
storative in which the tonic elements are
united with gentle aperient and Alternative
properties. When Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
was introduced noarly twenty years age, this
important object was first attained. This
peaceful and active vegetable specific is as
Justly celebrated for its cures of nervous dis
eases. as for the absolute certainty with which
it relieves dyspepsia and bliousness. The hot
weather toward the close of summer generally
aggravates diseases of a nervous type. creating
a degree of feebleness which is beyond mea-
sure distressing. Under such circumstances
rally the bodily energies with course of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. OF all tonics, it is
the most satisfactory in its operations and
the least exciting. 1t braces the nerves up to
their natural tension. but not beyond it, so
there is no reaction. It has other properties,
however, than those of a nervine, and as
blood depurent and moderate aperient is SUI
perior to any other medicine of the day.
Fraud, however. is on the alert. The celeb
rity of the original medicine has given rise to
scores ef counterfeits and limitations. Exam
inc the label, and the fac smile of the sigma
ture of the firm; see that the spelling is all
correct, and thus make sure Of the genuine
ness of the article you buy. P.S.-Hostetter's
Bitters are never sold in kegs or barrels. but
in bottles only.

A Man Dies of Hydroplrobia Forty Years
after having been Bitten by a Mad Dog.
The Pulaski On. " Democrat re-
lates t. e particulars of the singular
death of one Major King, of the town
of Boyleston, of hydrophobia. 1t ap-
pears that about forty years ago Mr..
King was sevelly bitten by mad
dog, which had no apparent effect up
on him until within the past fonr
weeks. when he first seemed 10 act
strangely. For few days he appear
ed to act melancholy, and on Monday
the I2thinst., after telling bis son he
was going to do something" threw
of his hat and coat, ran to pond near
by, and, jumping in, endeaVored to
! drown himself. His son followed
him and succeeded in getting him out,
and induced him to return TO the
house. When within short distance
he tore himself away, returned again
and threw himself into the pond. BY
this time some of the neighbors who
had witnessed the strange proceed
ings arrived, and with their assistance
he was secured and brought hom :.
The paroxysm lasted about five hours.
when he became rational and request
ed the bystanders not to allow him to
hurt anybody. He remained in this
condition for eighteen hours, when
another apasm succeeded, and after
suffering terribly until Friday night
death came to his relief.

Terrible Accident.

MANCHESTER, N. H., January A
shocking accident occurred in this city
this evening. A party of young men
and girls were amusing themselves by
coasting in the moonlight, down Clark
street, which isiquite steep. A young
man named Polk Fleming and girl
named Harriet b. Halleek were upon
one sled, and passed rapidly across
the canal and upon the track of the
Concord Railroad. Just before they
reached the track the northern up ex-
press approached and struck the sled.
The body of the girl was shoekingly
mhngled, and she was instantly killed,
Her head was completely severe
from her body aud thrown to one side
of the track. The remainder of her
body was borne about three rods fur
ther, and the train passed over it.
The man was thrown upon one side
of the track ;'one leg was completely
cut off from his body, and his head
and other portions of his body were
badly bruised. The girl is daughter
of Mrs. Halleck, widow of the late
John Halleck,' of New Jersey. She
was fourteen years old. The mother
and daughter came to this city from

that tts tts Sit at a desk quietly and write
pretty editorials, bears about the same
proportion to the whole duty of an

They would learn that work never
ceases in printing office, that, con-
stant watchfulness and care alone
bring success; that steady drain on
the editor is the rule; and that in
addition, the head of the establish
ment has to bear philosophically more
grumbling, abuse, and advice, for less
pay, than any other professional man
would dream of. In short, they
would find that an editor is a hard
worked man, much abused man, and
in most cases, a mighty poorly paid

A Strange AnimaI-What TrapPer Saw
Near Pueblo.

Near Pueblo. ss-..s
That there exists in the mountains
of Colorado beasts and animals un-.
known to the devotees of science,
there cannot be the least shadow OF
doubt. We have just learned of
trapper on the Grenhorn, a stream
about twenty miles south of Pueblo,
who, while hunting recently for elk
and deer, saw strange animal at the
sight OF which he was not only aston
ished but at first it caused him great
fear. The hunter was. however, in a
position that afforded him protection,
and after the first surprise and he had
gained AL assurance OF his safety, he
watched the beast, and the following
is the description he gives of the thing ::
1t was larger than an COX, and of a
kind of mouse color, with skin var
led with light stripes similar to those
of zebra. Its head favored that of a
rhinoceros. but much larger, and a
bushy tail like that of Iox. The an
| imal fed on grass, weeds, &C., and
finally disappeared, crossing the creek
and going up the mountains, where it
is likely the brute hasa habitation of
some kind. The next day our in

singular looking animal, and fouud
them to be like those of a horse, but a
great deal larger. We cannot but be-
lieve the assertions of the trapper to
be entirely true, as the whole story is
fully corroborated by Mr.. Matt. Rid
dleberger, who lives in that neighbor-
hood, and who has. seen the same
beast or one like it. 3, We think that
by the next issue of our paper we will
be able to give more authentic infor-
nation on this matter, as-we learn
that possee of gentlernen are now in
pursuit of fhis seeming monstrosity,
and wlioMare determined to capture
or kill the animal, and TINS give to the
world and science another proof thai
there are still strange animals in ex,
istance which, although scarce, are
not entirely extinct.

THE Radical papers are sounding
the cry of great frauds on the part of
the Democrats in the late Georgia
election! This is to pave the away for
an excuse to upset It, The whole
management of the election was in
their hands. Not single Democrat
had position in connection there
with. The machinery was radical,
carpet baggery and niggery, with fed
eral bayonets. Ii there was fraud, it
was not at Democratic doors. A full
and fair election would show a result
more decidedly Democratic.
