CLARENCE Wright, a son of Mr..
ID G. Wright OF the firm Of Wright.
Hannahs & Co. late of South Haven,
Michigan, died at the residence Of
his father near Scranton on Thursday
evening at s o'clock, having been
taken sick the previous Saturday,
with a fever which developed into
cerehro spinal meningitis, His
twenty>first birthday was on the day
previous TO his death. 1t seems a
singular coincidence, that Mr.. Cart
land q proprietor and Mr.. Winbon
an employee Of the same mill died on
the same day, and now another en-
ployee and one OF the family of a pros
p%rietor should again have died the
SAM day. In each ease the deaths
occurred very near the same, differ
ent. places.

A regular habit OF body is indis-
pensable to health; yet few disorders
are more common than costiveness.
BY this term is implied sluggish con-
dition Of the bowels, which causes
them to retain their contents longer
than is consistant with health, and
and painful. Headache, dizziness,
feverishness, q sense of fullness in the
head, loss of memory, incapaciiy for
continuous mental effort, and O gene
raj feeling of oppression in the nbdo-
minal region, are among the accom-
paniments of this complaint. The spe-
ci6c for it is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. This famous stomachic and al
terative acts bene6cially upon the three
principal organs connected with the
processes of digestion, secretion and
excretion, viz: The stomach, the liver
and the intestines. Torpidity of the
liver is, in most cases. the imm ediate
cause of constipation. Bile is mode
rately aperient, aud if its regular dis.
charge into the upper bowels be in
terrupted, distractions accumulate and
harden in the intestinal canal, and
purgation becomes necessary. The
Bittcrs, being anti-bilious as we'll as q
tonic and laxative, soon restore the
derelict liver to natural condition, as
we'll as relieve and tone the bowels.
The result is the permanent establish
ment of regular habit Of body. No
disorder Of the stomach or its depend
encies, no affection of the nervous
system, no ailment involving physical
weakness and mental despondency,
can resist the renovating, regulating.
purifying operation of this famous al
terative. J26t3Tl

the witness said she was pure, unless
technical meaning was applied to the
word purity. She sought the oonsola-

rises in the midst of the great plain,
or campagna, from which the City
of Naples chiefly derives its supplies
of food. The circumference of the
mountain is about 80 miles, and
the diameter miles. But three
fourths of the space thus occupied
by Vesuvius consists of exceed
ingly rich land, sloping upwards to
the foot of the cone. Turn a SOUP
dish bottom upward, and on that
stand the dinner-bell, and you have
a fair idea of the slope of Vesuvius
as it appears at distance.
The ascent of Vesuvius is made
in three parts or stages. First,
one takes a carriage in the city, and
drives about 5 or 6 miles, through a
continuous village fianked by gar
dens. Then the ascent begins and
winds circuitously up a steep grade
for about miles, and brings the
visitor to point called the "Her-
mltage," where a solitary house
stands on the outer end of a iuttipg
promontOry of lava, 1000 feet above
the leyel plain below. The Hermit
age is an observatory maintained by
the Government for observing the
state of the mountain. Part of
the way up, the road winds through
vineyards, fine groves of olive-trees,
and then over the horrible-looking
