FRIGHT AND Runaway. = On last
Monday evening, while the four horse
team and wagon Of Mr.. Henry &
Smith was standing before Mrs. AL
baugh's door, on Main street, loading
bedstcad and other articles Of lurnl-
ture, Mr.. Smith being absent in the
yard, the horses suddcnly took fright
and dashed off at q rapid rate going
down street as fast as their heels could
carry them. No person attempted
to stop them, as it would have been
dangerous to head them oii They
pushed on unintcrruptcdly with full
speed, until they reached Mr.. Smith $
residence, short distance below town,
where they halted in their mad career.
The wagon horse had his leg broken
in the flight, and the wagon was on y
slightly injured.

Cure of Consumption.

The cure of a disease OF consumptive
kind necessarily prompts a doubt in the
mind, as most people have been taught to
believe 1t of an incurable nature, and as
long as this Is believed to be the case, peopl
will be 10th to do anything for its relief
rather trusting to the merciful doings o.
nature than to bad doctoring. DIR. keyser
reports two we'll marked cases Of pulmonary
disease, one on Liberty street, and the other
in Manchester; both these persons, If ap-
piled to, will substantiate the facts in a way
so forcible as to put all doubt out of the
question; yet with all this, people daily
yield up their lives to the fell destroyer, ac-
counting themselves vanquished at the
first approach OF the disease. What we say
to persons of consumptive habit, or with
the disease fastened on their SYSTEM is tina

Burning and'Shaking.

BY ridiculous misapplicatiOn of Ian
guage, invalids are sometimes said to enjoy
every poor health" but it is not on record
that any human being was ever spoken OF
as enjoying chills and fever. And yet there
are thousands, ut this moment, in one or
the other of the two stages Of the disorder,
who might just as well have avoided 1t as
net. If there is anything demonStrable in
therapeutics, II is that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Is an antidote TO intermittent fevers.
No instance can be cited In which 1t has
been taken, either rs a safeguard against
this class OF diseases or as remedy for
effect. The season when malatious fevers
are rife has commenced, and no inhabitant
of any district subject to their vistations
should be without this great preventive
and remedy. Indeed, 1t Is most potent
protection against all the ailments which
prevail in the spring months. From marsh,
and pool, and from all moist soils, are now
rising the mepbitic elements which give
birth to fever, indigestion, biliousness,
COLES, and whole host of epidemic and
other maladies. Aid the system To resist
them. Energize and regulate all the animal
functions with this reinforcing agent. This
precaution is as necessary in cities as in
new settlements for malarious fevers are
now almost as common in the great centres
of population rs on the borders of the
southern bayous and marshes and the rich
agricultural regions of the West. The pre-
ventive and remedy is accessible to all.
Who will be unwise enough TO brave reck
lessly the danger it would.avert?

A Family Of Giants.

From the Kansas City (MoD Bulletm.J
The southern portion of Jackson
county and the neighborhood of Lone
Jack is enjoying tae sensation Of nine
days wonder. They have discovered a
family of extraordinary size. From a
party of sightseers from this county we
learn as follows concerning them !:
They arrived in Jackson county about
two months ago and took up their
abode in the woods. The party found
them living IN a shanty devoid of win
dows, and without labor. The ght
was admitted through hole in the
roof which also served as a chimney.
The party were received by a man eight
feet and six inches in height, who in.
troduccd them to his wife and daughter,
the latter mere child, not more than
twelve wears old, and whose proper
tons were even more remarkable thaa
those of her father. Her name is Rose
Plummer, and though not yet in her
teens she is larger than the largest OF
men, standing nearly seven feet high
and proportionately large otherwise.
The man appeared to be glad to vel
come the visitors, and invited them to
dine. The visitors were surprised to see
no table, but that was sooE supplied
bv two trestles and few planks laid
upon them. They were also without
dishes or crockery OF any kind; the
food, consisting OF plain corn cake, was
served up on shingles. The party APP
preciated more than they enjoyed the
fare. Plummer says he came 10 Mis-
sonri last December, from Indiana, and
is inclined to think he has made a mis-
take in his vocation, and proposes to
abandon farming and take his'girl and
start out with show this spring. de
saws his fortune is made "if Rose don't
quit growing" He remarked, in reply
to a question as to whether he was not
annoyed by the visits OF the curious:
well, no; ! don't care as much as
the gal does. l don't charge nothing
for shown of her to the neighbors, who
have been kind to us since we came
here, and besides it will get her used 10
being looked atsso size will not mind
the show business next'summer.
The mother of the girl is not more
than the ordinary size, and seems to
wonder at the curiosity manifested 10y
sight-seers..

GroundIess Obiections.

Objections are sometimes raised against
certain medicines on the ground that they
cure 80 many different diseases A mo-
ments reflection will expose the shallow
ness Of SUCH an argument, for there Is
scarcely medicinal drug of any kind that
is not used for more than one disease. The
reason why MISHLER'S HERB BlTTERS
cures SO many diseases is because 1t Is the
best remedy ever discovered for Q deranged
stomach, or Dyspepsia, and because 1t in
vigorates the entire system, strengthens the
nervous fibres, elevates the standard OF all
the vital forces, and sustains most health
full tone Of the entire human organism.
Medicine that wilido thissyitl cureany dis
ease, for the SIMPLE reason that nature will
do the rest. 1t is a sure protection against
disease, and If the Importance Of protective
medication were generally understood, no
family in the fand would risk being with
out this great Household Remedy for a sim
gle day. Sold by all druggists and dealers.

Mursierous Assault.

The notorious jim Bower made a
vicious attack upon William Z: Ridge
way with a chair, at the residence of
Chris. J. Hoke, near Rocky Point, on
Saturday evening, 18th ult. The assail.
ant struck Ridgewav twice on the head
and shoulder with a chair, and had
dealt a third sumner which was inter-
cepted by Mr.. Hoke, who thus probably
saved Ridgeway's life. Ridgeway tried
to defend himself with pistol, hut it
snapped twice without avail. He has
been suffering much from his injuries.
The tronble arose in dispute about
proceedings in a law suit between the
parties, who had just been to a hearing
before Squire Nickel. No further
particulars have since been reported

A Terrible Accident.

On Saturday morning last, terrible
accident happened at New Salem. Mr..
John Kelley, who was experimenting
somerepairs on the railroad, was stand
ing on a gondola attached to a gravel
train. The train started suddenly-he
lost his balance and fell upon the track,
the wheel of the car passing obliquely
over his right arm, and his left arm
was only fractured in two places by the
fall. At two o'clock his right arm was
amputated by DR.. J. NJ. Bowcock, of
Clarksburg The injured man, a. last
accounts, was doing well, and will prob

Fire.

A fire occurred at the residence Of
our townsman, Mr.. w. P. Foster, at
an early hour Monday night, by some
sparks from wood fire aiight!ng on a
carpet and bed, which were soon in
flames and which, but for the timely
arrival and prompt action Of number
of citizens, both white and black, who
labored hard until he flames were en-
tirely extiaguished, would doubtless
have resulted in the destruction of the
entire building and other property al
iacent. The loss sustained by Mr.. Eos

The Legislature.

The Legislature adjourns today
The more important measures that
came before il for action have already
been disposed Of and the close 5of the
session will leave but few bills unconsid-
cred that possess any merit or that ought
to become laws. There seems to be
less crowding Of important matters into
the closing hours OF the term than has
been usual heretofore Business has
been dispatched with more Prompdtude
than usual, and for once the term OF
forty-fve days seems not to have been
found too short a.E.1-lfse
The chief measures which have made
the session memorable are Of political
nature and complete the total undolng
of all the proscriptive legislation that
the Radical party had placed
upon the statute-books Of the
State. The abolition OF all
test oaths, the enactment Of liberal
election law, and the act providing for
the call of convention to revise the
constitution of the State, while they
have been advocated and carried
through as party measures, will never
theless rebound to the benefit OF all
and promote the prosperity Of all classes
Of our citizens But, beside these,
several other acts of much general i'm
portance and not so distinctiyely par
,isan IN their support, have been passed.
A fresh impetus has been given TO rail-
road enterprise in the State and the
cause of immigration has received more
practical encouragement than ever be-
fore. A disposition to take fresh
start in the race for wealth and COM
mercial prosperity has been manifested.
The people have been encouraged to
put forth greater efforts for the
development Of the resources Of the
State; fresh hopes have been kindled ;
and assurances have been given that
henceforth legislation will reflect the
popular demand, and do its part
Tor the promotion Of the popular good
And while there have been some things
in the course of the Legislature now
about to close, which We regret and
would have been glad to have other
wise, the good that has been accom-
plished far outweigbs whatever harm
has been done, and we may Faithfully
say that, all things considered, the
Legislature has done its work faithfully
thoroughly and well. Its merits have
been so much greater than those Of any
other Legislature that has ever before
assembled in West Virginia, that we
can all afford to overlook its few fail
ings and accord to it our sincere thanks
and hearty praise.
