Blown to Atoms.

The terrible effects of the explosion
of six cans of nitro-g -glycerine Q5O
pounds), near Parker's Landing, Penn
sylvania, by which young man named
John Osborne was blown to atoms, are
thus described:
Osborne started from Emlenton for
Petrolia, where he was to fill several
orders. When he reached Parker it
was too dark to proceed further with
any degree of safety, and he was per-
suaded by "a relative to remain over
night. He was called early in the
morning, and, obtaining horse and
buck board, started from Parker over
the toughest road that was possible,
although 1t was conjectured he went
that way to make time, as it is the near
est route. He had crossed Bear creek
and was over hundred feet up the
south slope of the hill when the explo-
sion occurred. Osborne's body was
horribly mangled. The head and body,
from above the hips, and portions OF
the arms were thrown over 800 feet
from the scene. Entrails, parts OF
clothing and debris could be seen hang
ing in the tops of trees, though they
we're over 100 feet high. The head and
portions of the stomach were found in
Bear creek, over 100 feet distant. The
right hand was found nearly half mile
away, and in a radius of q mile sumer.
Gus other portions were found, but il
would be utterly impossible to dis
tihguish them from portions of the
horse, whose body was scattered in al
directions by the terrific concussion
The shoes were torn from the horses
feet, which may be termed the mos
singular incident of the dreadful dis
aster. The seat of the blackboard ant
part OF the structure were found scat
tered over hill and ravines, and could
not be distinguished except by I
previous knowledge of what it was
The trees were stripped of the foliag,
for rods around, many of them beinl
barked. The excavation in the roat
caused by the explosion was four to tiv'
feet deep, and most of it was from solic

The SkepticaI Convinced.

Every advance in Medicine, every
new remedy has encountered an opposi-
tion, which is the test of truth. Galen
and Jenner only were believed when
they had proved their discoveries
against opposition. But men are OBJ
serving, and benefits always make be-
levers. No incredulity can stand the
silent argument of good results. When
DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had
produced from the medicinal herbs of
California an Elixir that would regen-
crate the sinking system and cure dis
eases not organic, the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his Vinegar
Bitters is now the Standard Restorative
of the Western World. The truth could
not be resisted. Under the operation
of the new remedy, Dyspeptics regained
their health, appetite and strength, the
Bilious and Constipated were relieved
of every distressing symptom the
Consumptive and Rheumatic rapidly re.
covered Intermittent and Remittent
Fevers were broken up the faint of
Scrofula was era6icatedl Who could
gainsay facts like these Not even the
Faculty. Skepticism was routed. All
doubts as to the claims of the Bitters to
the first place in the first rank of
modern medicines were silenced, and
this wonderful preparation is to-day the
most popular Tonic, Alternative, and
Blood Depurent ever advertised in
America. In common with other jour-
nalists, we are free to add our testi.
mony to this remedy. 1t is domestic
medicine, and no household should be
without it.-COnl.

The Best Sewing Machine.

The best sewing machine for all purposes
made is, beyond question, the Remington.
1t will do a greater variety of work, with less
noise and physical exertion than any one in the
market. 1t is 80 simple that 8 child can man
age it, and SO durable that we can see no
reason who one, with ordinary care, should not
last lifetime.
This point we desire to call especial attention
to. The Remington is made by the Rem
ington Arms Co., Of Hon. N. Y, whose arms
are known the world over.
They have the entire confidence of the
governments Of the world, for the reason that
they never turned out poor weapon, nor.
indeed, any but the very best. Quality is what
they pride themselves upon, for it was their
capital at the beginning. The same rigid
honesty that they held to In the manufacture
Of arms, they have carried into thoir sewing
machine. They are made of the best material
attainable, and no labor or expense is spared to
finish them in such way as to make them do
great deal more than is claimed for them.
The name ''Remingon" is a sufficient guarantee
to any one who knows the Company.
The Company desire Agents in every county
in the United States We can say that the
machine, because of its excellence, is good
one to handle. and of the Company that their
employees are certain of fair and liberal treat
ment. Write to Remington Arms Company,

4 Mammoth Dispensary.

Among the notable physicians Of this
country. DR.. r. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, n. Y.
stands deservedly high He has obtained pro-
fessional eminence through strictly legitimate
means, and fully deserves the enviable reputa-
ton which he enjoys. thorough and careful
preparation for his calling and extensive read
ing, during long and unusually large practice,
have made him extraordinarily successful in his
private practice. and gained the commendation
even of his professional brethern. BY devoting
his attention mainly to certain specalties ha
has been rewarded in very great degree. and
in these lines is recognized as a leader Not
few of his preparations compounded for these
special cases have been adopted and are used
in their private practice by physicians through
out the country, and his pamphlets and larger
works upon these subjects have been welcomed
as valuable additions to medical literature, and
placed among the regular textbooks of many
medical schools. Acknowledgment of the
service which he has performed for medical
science has been made by presentation of
degrees from two Of the first medical institu-
tions Of the land and by the translation OF
several Of his works into German, Spanish,
and other foreign languages. The increasing
demand for his specifics some time since ueces-
STATED the opening Of a regular dispensary for
their preparation, and from a small beginning
the business of this establishment has now
grown to mammoth proportions. Thus during
the three months ending March 81, 1874, the
sum expended for postage alone, not to speak
of that paid on newspapers, amounted to 80
080,70. Over q hundred persons are employed
in the various departments, and corps OF
able and skilled physicians are retained as al
advisory board in difficult cases. Elsewhere in

Death Caused by Piercing Her Ears.

An inquest held at Liverpool the
other day on the body of little girl
aged eight years, the daughter OF
sailor, conveys q lesson with regard to
earrings, which is, at all events, worth
the attention of woman, if she can di.
vert her thoughts for a moment from
the pursuit of her rights. The unfor
tunate child whose death formed the
subject of inquiry about three weeks
ago underwent the operation of having
her ears pierced with stocking needle.
After the ears were pierced, two ear
rings belonging to her mother were put
in them. A few days later blister
came behind one ear then the jaw be-
gan to swell /; worse symptoms ensued,
aud on Saturday last the child died.
The medical evidence was to the effect
that death resulted from exhaustion
consequent upon the intense iniamma-
nation caused by the piercing of the
ears, and the jury returned verdict
accordingly. OF course, if women
choose to have their ears pierced 1t
would be impertinence on the part OF
man to demonstrate against the self
inflicted torture but there can be nc
harm in suggesting that children might
be allowed to reach years OF discretion
before they are called upon to follow
the example of their elders and betters
in this respect. .5.

A Girls MOnOmanIa,

Henrietta Waihel, child of Is, was
arrested in New York. She has been
employed for several months by Leo
pold Apple as chambermaid in his
hotel in West Farms. Until lately she
was quiet and obedient. But one day
three fires were set one after another in
the chambers of the hotel. The fire
was discovered at ten in the forenoon in
the bed of o boarder, Mrs. Franks.
Her six months old infant was lying on
the bed, and was nearly suffocated by
the smoke. The timely entrance Of o
little girl employed in the hotel saved
the child.
In the afternoon second fire was
kindled in some table cloths in closet
opening into the dining room. The
door was closed after the flames had
gained headway, and there being no air
for it to feed upon, the fire went out.
After the second discovery every one
was on the watch, but the girl slyly
started third fire in some clothing
hung in closet adjoining the mair
hall. This fire was soon discovered and
subdued.
Apple suspected the girl, and she
confessed. She said that she had been
treated kindly by him and that she
liked her work, but that something
made her desire to burn Mrs. Frank 8
baby in the morning, and after the fail
ure of her riot she became only the
more determined to burn or destroy
something.
Apple discharged the gill and sent
her home. She was arrested and held
in default of 81 900 bail.
Henrietta told her strange history.
She had climbed upon the wooden set.
tee set into the wall, and was abstract
edly gazing out of the barred windows
of her cell into the fields. Henrietta a,
don't you hear?" She turned very
pale, expressionless face, whose pecu
liarlty is that it runs to point like 9
peg top from forehead to chin. Hel
black eyes were restless, and at times
lit up wildly. But her manner wa;
collected, and she answered intelli
gently.
She first went from her mothers care
two years ago to work as children's at
tendant for Mrs. Kinney in Tarrytown
She had longing then to set fire to the
dress of her little charge, which lay il
her arms. One day she struck a match
and while it blazed the little one
crowed and laughed so innocently tina
her heart failed her. Afterward she
worked for Dr.. Ernest Uhling, whc
buried the coffin load of bricks insteat
of Louisa Germs. After Uhling wa
arrested she became a servant for Mr.
Apple in West Farms.
