Another Freak Of Nature.

About twenty-five years ago a
man by the name of Harmon Austin
died in .Boardman township, this
county, Of delerium tremeas, and
was buried in the Presbyterian
burying groundi in the village of Po-
land. Now comes the remarkable
part of our story. A few weeks
ago, when his remains were disin-
TERED for the purpose of removing
them to the new cemetery In Po.
land, Che coffin appeared unusually
heavy, and was opened, and it was
then discovered that the body, in
place Of decomposing, as is usually
the case, was lying in o petritled
state. The appearance Of the face
was somewhat dark colored, but
where the clothing had been
which was now nothing but a green
mold-the body exhibited a life
like appearance. .-Caadeld Ne,os.

Hard Times.

The present is a period of unex
ampled distress throughout our
whole country. From every State
in the Union the wall of distress is
borne on every breeze. Banks are
smashing, merchants are going to
the wall, and manufacturing estab.
lishments, all over the land are sue
cumbing to the legitimate fruits oi
rascality, Radical rule, or rather
mis-rule. The Commissioners oil
charities, in New Rork City, reports
forty thousand families without
means and without employment,
who depend on public charity to
keep soul and body together, and
he expects before long that the mum.
Der will be increased to eighty
thousand.

THE ONLY KNOWN MEDICINE
THAT AT THE SAME TIME

PurgsS. FHrthes, and Strengthens the System.
DIR. Tstt's Pills arc composed ofmany in
gradients, PE0rainenb among them are Sarsa-
Iparilla and and Wild Cherry, so united as to
act together; the one, through its admiXture
with other substances, purifying and purg-
ing; while the other is siren gthening the sys-
tenn. Thus these pills are at the same time q
tonic and cathartc, desideratum long
sought for by medical men, but never before
discovered. In other words, they do the work
of two medicine and do it much hetter than
any twOw know OF, for they remove nothing
from the system but impurities, so that while
they purge they also strengthen and hence
they cause no debility and are followed by no
Reaction.
DIR. TUFTS PILLS have wonderful influ-
ence on the blood. They not only purify with
out weakening it, but they remove all noX-
iOus particles from the chyle before il is con-
verted into fluid, and thus makes impure
blood an utter imp0ssibility. AS there Is no
debiitation, so there is no nausea or sickness
attending the operation of this most excel
lent medicine, which never strains or tortures
the digestive organs, but causes them to work
In u perfectly manner hence persons taking
them do not become pale and emaciated, but
ON tho contrary, while all impurities are be-
ing removed, the combined action of the Sar-
saparella and Wild Cherry purifes and invig-
CRATES the body,and robust state Of health Ii
the result Of their united action.
