A walking Miracle.

Mr. H. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir,-Though a stranger want to inform you
what VEGETINE has done for me.
Last Christmas, ScrOfula made its appearance in
my system-large running ulcers appearing me as
follows: One on each of my arms, one my thigh
which extended to the scat, one on my head, which
eat into the skull bone Que my left Leg which be-
came so bad that two physicians came to amputate
the limb though upon consultation concluded not to
do So as my whole body full of Scrofula they
deemed it advisable to cut the sore which was pain
full beyond description, and there quart of mat
ter run from this one The physicians all gave
me up to de- and said they could do more for me-
Both of my legs were drawn up to my seat, and it
was thought if did get up again would be Grip
pie for life.
When in this condition saw vEGETINE advertis-
ed,.and commenced taking it in March, and followed
on with it, until had Dsed 16 bottles and this morn
ing am going to plough corn, well man. Al my
townsmen say it Is miracle to round walking
and working
In conclusion will add, when was enduring such
great suffering from that dreadful disease, Scrofula
prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this
word, but as VEGETINE has restored to me the bes-
sings OF health desire than ever to live that
may be Of some service to my fellow man and I
know OF no better way to aid suffering humanity,
than to enclose You this statement of my case with
an earnest hope that you will publish it, and it will
anord me pleasure to reply to any communication
which may receive therefrom.
am, Sir, very respectfully.
WILLIAM PAWN.

The Toronto Globe learns from London
that the syndicate that undertook to float the
new stock of the Grand Trunk met with but
little success with the general public, only one
tenth being sold to new parties. The old
stock holders took a'out one-third of the
new issue, and the syndicate were obliged to
find one million pounds sterling of which
they had advanced two hundred thousand.
The company, however, have secured the
funds to make their improvements.

CULTIVATION OF FISH IN bitches AND
PoNDs.-Much attention is now being paid in
Germany to the cultivation of fish in ponds
and bitches, and it has been found, contrary to
the generally received opinion in reference to
such localities, that they are more favorable
for the purpose than other large bodies of
water, apparently fresh aud pure in their char
acter. This is doubtless owing to the great
abundance of animal life, as well as to the
kinds, including the alg@. This produces n
constant evolution of oxygen needed for the
respiration of the fish, ard allows larger
mass of life to be crowded together in given
space The production of Che species is also
unusually rapid, and the young grow very

Having seen that the second floor, the
one which gave way, was unsupported

matter of a moments reflection that

School Reports.

We have received the report of the
State Superintendent of Common
Schools and Of Soldiers Orphan
schools.
The former shows a large increase
i'll the number and quality of the
schools Of the State, in a steady in
crease of the number in attendance on
them for eight years past until 1872,
when there was a decrease in the
average number Of pupils of 3I.5O5,
owing to the prevalence of smallpox
in many towns, by which many schools
were temporarily broken up. Since
1871 the number Of graded schools
has been increased by 364, with a
slight addition to the number Of coun-
ty superintcndents. and to the pay OF
teachers; but the whole expenses for
the department have been lessened by
S23.084o which has been mostly oc-
casioned by there being less building
of school-houses.
There are now six Normal Schools
and four others will soon be added,
one of which will be at Lock Haven.
The State appropr atoms TO Normal
Schools for building purposes, library
and apparatus amounts to over $780,
600, and in aid of students to over
$4,000. The Superintendent urges
with much force the providing of
means of technical education, and he
quotes with regard to this, as well as
several other matters, embraced in his
report, the provisions of William
Penn in the first organization of a

Imnortant Railroad Suit.

The following case was recently dis
posed of in LeAigh county /; A man
named Mcintyre sued the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Company. Mcintyre was
on passenger train of the Company,
on his way from Hazleton to Bethle-
hem, was drunk and became unruly-
was noisy, troublesome, and created a
great deal of disturbance. The con
ductor told him several times that if he
was not quiet he would stop the train
and put him off. Finally he did put
him off, at 4 lonely place on the road,
where there were high embankments
and no houses. Mcintyre, in his drunk
en- condition. walked rome distance
along the road, and then sat down be-
tween the tracks and went to sleep.
During tie night he was run over and
had his left leg 50 smashed that 1t had
to he amputated. He then brought an
action against the Company to recover
damages. Judge Longaker charged the
jury that the conductor had right to
put the man of, but that if the plaintiff
was in state of intOXication that he
was not able to take care of himself, it
was TIE conductors duty to put him off
at a regular station, or other place of
safety. The jury rendered a verdict i'll
favor of plaintiff for 81, so damages,
