A PitifuI Condition.

1t is sad thing to pass through life
only half alive. Yet there are thousands
whose habtual condition is one of lam
guor and debility. They complain of no
specific disease they suffer no positive
pain but they have no relish for any
thing which affords mental or sensuous
pleasure. In nine cases out of ten this
state of lasstude and torpor arises from a
morbid stomach. Indigestion destroys
the energy of both mind and body. When
the waste of nature is not supplied by a
due and regular assimilation of the food -,
every organ is starved, every function in
terrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest
under these circumstances of depression
The system needs rousing and strength
ening not merely for an hour or two, to
sink afterward in a more pitiable condi-
ton than ever (as it assuredly would do
if an ordinary alcoholic stimulant were
resorted to- but radically and perma-
nently.
How is this desirable object to be ac-
cOmplished The answer to this ques-
ton, founded on the unvarying expert
ence OF quarter of century, is easily
given. Iniuse a new vigor into the di-
gestive organs by course of Hostetter's
ad ministering temporary remedies, but
wake the system by recuperating the
fountain head of physical strength and
energy, the great organ upon which all
the other organs depend for their nurture
and support.
BY the time that a dozen doses of
the great vegetable tonic and invigorant
have been taken, the feeble frame of the
dyspeptic will begin to feel its benign in
fluence. Appetite will be created, and
with appetite the capacity to digest what
it Graves. Persevere until the cure is
complete-until heathful blood, fit to be
the material of flesh and muscle, bone
and nerve and brain, flows through the
channels of circulation, instead of the
watery pabulum with which they have
heretofore been imperiectly nourished.

HAILsToNEs AND LIGHTNING.-There
was a heavy rain-storm on Canon Creek
last Tuesday, accompanied by haistones,
thunder and lightning. Hailstones fell in
great numbers larger than hazel-nuts.
While Mr.. j. A. Berger, our informant,
was watching the storm from the door OF
his residence, he saw lightning strike a
large pine tree long ways off. The
stroke was like firing off cannon, first a
puff of smoke arose, then shortly after
ward came loud report. Mr.. Berger
says that he has noticed for several years
that the lightning seems to be attracted
to the mountain upon which the tree stood
and descends upon it often. Once in go
ing over the mountain he observed three
trees that had been struck by the electric
fluid during the preceding storm. He
conjectures, and pausibly too, that the
mountain must contain great deal of
iron.

FIRE.-The alarm of fire about half past
eleven O'Clock last night, was caused by the
burning of the two framed buildings that stood
on the southwest corner of the intersection of
King and Washington streets. They were both
entirely consumed, notwithstanding the well di-
rected exertOns OF the firemen. During the pro-
gress of the fire the rear wall of the corner house
fell upon a shed on which were pipemen J. p.
Shrakes, Henry Herbner, Geo. s. French, and
Allan Ramsay, of the Columbia, crushing 1t to
the ground, with those who were Oh it, but for
tunately injuring none of them seriously. The
houses belonged to Mrs. s. s. Barbour, and
were insured for - 200. The stock of COrsOn &
Boyd was insured for $780,
ACCIDENTS TO RAILROAD MEN.-Mr. James
Davis, a brakeman on the Alexandra and

The CARE OF LAMPs.-The easiest wav to
clean petroleum lamps is to wash with thin milk
OF lime, which forms an emulsion with the De-
troleum, and removes every trace of it, and by
washing second time with milk of lime and a
small quantity of chloride of lime, even the
smell may be so completely removed as to rem
der the vessel thus cleansed fit for keeping bev-
erages in. Ii the milk of lime be used warm,
instead of cold, the operation is rendered much
shorter.
The best time for cleaning them is the morn
ing, for reasons of safety, if not convenience.
Scarcely a week passes during the winter
months, but we read accounts of frightful acct
dents from kerosene lamps exploding and kill
ing or soaring for life women and children. A
simple knowledge of the inflammable nature of
the fluid would probably put a stop to nearly all
the accidents. AS the oil burns down into the
lamp, highly imfammable gas gathers ever
its surface, and as the oil decreases the gas in
creases. When the oil is nearly consumed, a
slight jar will often infiame the gas, and an ex-
ploeion is sure to follow, dealing with it death
and destruction. A bombshell is not moro to be
dreaded. Now il the lamp is not allowed to
burn more than half way down, such accidents
are almost impossible. Always fill your lamp in
the morning; then you never need fear An ex-
plOsiOn.-Rurdl Home.
