THE STATE COURTS.

Increasing population and growing expansion
OF business and commerce OF necessity augment
litigation. To say. then, that the calendars in all
the varied branches OF the state courts, as al
ready prepared for the advent OF the new year,
are larger than they were year ago. Is only say
ing that the city IN the intervening time has
grown additionally populous and It's business In
rerests been greatly multiplied. But with the ex-
tension OF our city's area, the cumuaton OF our
mercantile warehouses and the growth OF trade
and manufactures. there must OF necessity De
more judges more lawyers and more need for keep
ing the machinery OF the courts in motion, whicn
does not argue very well for the speedy approach
OF the millennium. But we must take things as
they are, and until the millennium does come
there Will be disputes between business
partners, opposing constructions OF contracts,
varied interpretations OF wills and other diner
ences settle when the arbitration OF the courts
must be invoked. Or one thing, however, all
interested may be satis1ed--tnat s, on the exist

A Desperate Remedy.

As an illustration of the power of one
poison to counteract another in the human
system recent case in this city furnishes
a highly important and interesting in
stance. We give the statement as related
to us by DR.. Harris, who was called to the
relief of would-be suicide, and who adj
ministered the successful antidOte. The
person had taken between forty and fifty
grains of opium, and was fast dying. He
could no longer swallow, his extremities
respirations only numbered between six
and seven to the minute. This last of it
self seemed to indicate that all hope was
gone, as anything less than eight respira
tions q minute had heretofore been known
as a sure precursor of death. AS last re-
sort the doctor determined to try heroic
treatment, and he accordingly with a hy-
podermic syringe, injected two-thirds of a
drachm of nux vomica, dissolved in tea
spoonful of water, beneath the skin over
the heart, stomach, spine and on each arm
above the elbow, and on the calf of each
leg. The quantity of nux vomica would
have been the death of any we'll man in ex-
istence, but in antagonism to the opium it
was in this seemingly hopeless case an
agent of life, and in fifteen minutes the
man was sitting up in bed conscious, and
rapidly recovering. - South Bend (Ind.)

A Railroad Smash.up and Miraculous
Escape.

Gordonville, Va, August 30. - Last
evening about five o'clock team of four
horses belonging to Mr.. Jarrett, of Madi-
son county, took fright on the st:eet and
broke into a run. At tie same time the
westward bound way freight train on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad was coming
in, and the horses being near, ran straight
forward and ON the railroad, where the en-
gine struck them, cutting one fine horse so
badly that it had to be killed and knock
ing the other off the track without injury.
The wagon was rolled along the track
against the platform near the old reception
depot of the G. g. o. railroad, and was torn
completely to pieces, no two wheels being
left together, and the body and grain were
scattered along the track. Mr.. Jarrett,
who was driving, seized the pilot of the
engine and cluDg on until the train stop
ped, and received 10 injury except bruise
on one of his arms. His nephew, small
boy, who was in the wagon, was rolled
completely up amongst the pieces of wheels
and grain and was taken forth uniniured.
This is something never witnessed before,
and there must have been loss of life if it
had not been up grade and the train going
slowly.

The FavOrite Home Remedy,
PAIN ILLER,

Has been before the public over Thirty Years, and
probably has wider and better reputation than
any other proprietary medcineo of the present day,
At this period there are but few unacquainted
with the merits of the N.FILLER; but, while
some eXtol it as liniment, they know but little Of
its power in easing pain when taken internally;
while Others use it internally with great success,
but are equally ignorant of its healing virtues
when applied externally. We therefore wish to
say to all, that it is equally successful, whether
used internally or externally 1t is sufficient eyi-
dence of its virtues as standard medicine to
know that it is used in all parts of the world
and that its sale Is constantly increasing No Gu
rative agent has had such widespread sale or
given such universal satisfaction.
DAVIS PAIN-KILLER is a purely vegetable
compound, prepared from the best and purest
materials and with care that nsures the most
perfect uniformity in the medicine; and while it
is most effective remedy for pain, 1t Is perfect
y safe medicine even in the most unskilful hands.
1t is eminenty a Family Medicine; and by being
kept ready for immediate resort, will save many
an hour of suffering, and many dollar in time
and doctors bills.
After over thirty years trial. 1t is still receiving
the most unqualified testimonials to its virtues
from persons of the highest character and respon.
sibility Eminent Physicians commend 1t as q
most eifectual preparati on for the extinction OF
pain 1t is not only the best remedy ever known
for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, &C., but for Dysentery,
or Cholera, any sort of bowel complaint, 1t is
remedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and rapidity of
action. In the great cities of India, and other hot
climates, 1t has become the standard medicine for
all such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and all other kindred disorders
For Coughs and Colds, Canker Asthma, and
Rheumatic difficulties, 1t has been proved by the
most abundant and convincing testimony to be an
invaluable medicine.
We would caution the public against all imita.
tions of our preparation, either in name or style

A Stranpe Purchase.

The Wilmington, N. O., Star, of the
9th ult., says
A lady who keeps boarding house
north of the w. g. w. Railroad made a
most singular purchase on Saturday eve
ming last, the only excuse for which is the
fact she was not aware at the time what
she was purchasing. It appears that in
riding past certain shop on the line of the
street railway she requested the proprietor
to pick her out good cabbage.
He did so, took the article into the car
and deposited it by her side received his
pay and retired. The cabbage, a good,
solid one, to all appearances, was taken
home and placed on a table, where it re-
mained until sometime the next morning,
when the lady started to prepare it for
cooking. 1t was then she made a startling
discovery-nothing more or less than a
snakes head peering out from behind one
of the loose eleaves.
Assistance to solve the mystery of this
strange affair was summoned and an in
vestigation commenced, when a large snake
was found snugly ensconced in the heart
of the cabbage, which was perfectly hollow.
OF course it is not presumed that the snake
ate his way into the cabbage, the only
plausible theory being that he made his
nest in it before it had matured and that
the leaves gradually grew and closed over
the orifoe, with the exception of the slight
opening preserved in one side by the
snakes occasional egress and ingress to
and from his singular abiding place. The
cabbage was grown in one of the gardens
near this city and there is no telling how
many hands it had passed through before
the singular discovery was made.

Great Rainfall.

Mr.. George Beckwith, of New Haven, re-
puted to be good authority in matters Of
this kind, says that the rainfall on the 9TH,
9Th and 9th ult., was much greater than
has occurred in several years. lie says /:
sit began about 8 o'clock on Friday eve
ming, the 18th, and, continuing steadily dur
ing the night, at $3.50 A. NJ, on Saturday,
the 9th, had depth on the surface of .501
inch. From $3.50 A. NJ, till about noon it
was only nominal Or occasional. 1t then
began, and continued with vigor from 0:30
p. NJ, till 6:20 a. M, on Sunday, 4615. In
the forenoon from $3.50 A. NJ, there was an
interval of an hour OF two, when it again
began with less force, and continued till
about 2;3O p. NJ, when it ceased, having
made in this last interval 1.3l inch. The
whole depth was 1O.030 inches, being about
one-third Of the annual fall in that locality,
and nearly three times as great as any that
has occurred in the present year"

Hand Cnt ofr hY a BnlIOck Press.

About half-past one o'clock on the 9th
inst, a sad accident occurred in the press
room in the German Democrat office. Mr..
William Gealy, the engineer, was cleaning
around the cutting cylinder Of the Bullock
press, when one of his hands came in con-
tact with the cutter, and in second was
amputated just above the wrist.
The accident occurred on the same press
that caused the death of Mr.. Bullock, the
inventor Mr.. Geary is young married
man, and we'll known in Philadelphia.
