Remarkable Frauds in Hcrcfordslire.
England.

John Henry Skryme, q solicitor in
extensive practice at Ross, in Here.
fordshire, England, lately died after
twenty.four hours OF occasional fright.
full commissions.
He was man greatly respected, was
clerk to the Income Tax Commission
ers, Lieutenant to the Volunteers, and
was looked upon as model citizen.
He was open-handed, generous to a
fault, of agreeable manners, without
pretension or pride. He always lived
apparently within his means.
The shops of the town were all closed
on the day Of bis funeral the town
officials followed his corpse to Tho
grave; and the local newspapers pub.
lished the most laudatory notices.
1t was supposed that Mr.. Skrymo
was rich man, with more house bro.
perty in the neighborhood than any
other person; Us we'll as q fine landed
estate near Ross, and one in Mon.
mouthshire called Court St. Lawrence.
Within a few days, however, forgeries
of an astounding character came to
light-sham mortgages, suppression OF
deeds, sales of property previously
mortsaged, and other transactions Of
like nature by which many families
were ruined.
A lady of Hereford had given Mr..
Skryme So, 800 to invest, which amount
he had embezzled. A gentleman had
given him the whole of his money to
be placed ont on mortgage. The deeds
given In return represent only q for
gerry. In one case q lady bought q
house; he suppressed one set of deeds
and supplied another, and it is now u.s.
certained that the house belongs to q
builder.
His credit had been excellent. 40
that all the tradesmen of his town are
mulcted. He had overdrawn his bank
account to the amount of 800, 600. To
add to the general excitement and
misery. it appears that the creditors
will not get as much as a penny divi.
dend from his property.
Mr.. Skryme left a wife and child,
On the day that he was taken sick he
made a will the symptoms of his sud.
den illness, the fact that on the same
day he had been to meet exasperated
creditors in Gloucester, and that in a
few days one of his forgeries would
have been exposed, gave ground for
the supposition that poison was the
cause of his death.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or inflammation
Of tho bronchial tubes which carry the air we
breathe into the lungs. It arises from cold
settled in the throat, from Gaia, rh extending
to these parts, from scrotulous affections, and
from severe use Of the voice. The irritation
from this latter cause commences in tho My-
y'S and glonis, which arc the organs OF tho
voice. and, extending downwards, produce
hoarsencss, coughing, and splitting mucous
chiefly dangerous from it's tendency to spread
into the lungs, and terminate in consump.

Medical Discovery has achieved unparalleled

FUNNY TEMPERANCE CASE.

In Akron, Ohio, I heard of a funny
temperance case. A rum-seller whom
I will call Hi Church, because he was
thigh" most OF the time, had been
sued several times for damage done by
his rum on citizens of the town. One
man came out drunk and smashed in a
big glass window. He was too poor to
pay for it, and the owner came against
Church. A boy about sixten years old
got drunk and lot horse run away
with him, breaking his arm.
His father made Church pay the
damage. A mechanic got drunk and was
killed on tho railroad track, and his
wife sued Church for $4,000, and got
it. A farmer got drunk and was
burned in his barn on the hay. His
son sued Church and recovered.
Church got sick Of paying out so much
money for personal and property dam
ages. 1t ate up all the rum-seller,s
profits. Still, lie acknowledged tho
law to be IL statute, and that it made
him responsible for all the damage
done by his rum. He used to argue,
also, that sometimes it did people good,
and then he said he ought to receive
something back
