A few months after having commenced
the man uiaelure of DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
zeal Discovery, the proprietor began 10 re-
ceiye numerous letters from all parts Of the
Western and southern States, bestowing
the most usbOuaded praise upon IL for having
promptly cured the writer's or their friends
OF Fever and Ague, or other forms Of MAS
matte or malariOus diseases. lie was repeat
ely urged TO make known the wonderful
virtues Of the Discovery in the cure Of Ague
and kindred diseases. lie always replied
that Il was not intended for "cure,all, !"
and should he recommend il TO people as .
remedy for 30 many different forms and
classes of disease, he feared those who had
never tested Its virtues would at once class
II among the numerous humbugs of the day,
This answer was satisfactory to no one they
argued that the whole country ought 10
know ID at once, aud expressed their aston
ishment at his Indifference 10 the subject
His ear and heart being at all times open 10
the call Of suffering humanity, he has at last,
after having received testimony from hun
dreds who have been speedily cured by II,
and many of them after quinia aud all the
usual means had failed, consented TO make
the matter known.

Mr.. Stebbins Peer, the funambulist or
rope-walker, who has a cable stretched
across the Niagara River, just below the
new suspension bridge, and gives exhibit
tons of his skill in rope-walking, came
near meeting with an accident the other
day, which, but for his agility, would
undoubtedly have ended his career rs q
rope-walker. lie conceived the brilliant
idea OF taking cat on the rope, and
starting il on ahead of him, in order to
have two sensations at the same time.
When about thirty feet from the shore
he set the cat ON the rope, expecting of
course that the feline would show how
the thing was done, as well as he could
do il himself. But the cat was not at all
anxious for funambulism, and instead of
making a Decline across turned upon
Peer, climbed upon him, and fastened
his teeth in his shoulder. In his efforts
TO disengage the cat, he missed his foot
ing, and had 10 drop his balance-pole,
which fell on the rocks below, and was
broken. Peer himself scrambled along
the rope back to the shore the best way
he could. He succeeded in reaching
terra trina, but the exhibition for the
day was brought to close, as a funam-
bulist without balance-pole is Of little
account. The pole was subsequently re-
covered and spliced. Peer will walk
again, but will not be likely to take any
eats along.

The Dubuque Times relates that the
other night a prominent citizen, being
aroused by the fire-bells, rushed TO the
door of his house in his night-clothes to
see where the fire was. The door was
provided with night-lock, and when he
closed it it fastened itself, and there he
was, out in the night, with no way to get
back. His wife was out of town, the
servants were of to dance, and the son
was down to the fire. Several desperate
jerks of the bell and frantic pounding on
the door-the more frantic by the thought
that his property on Main street might
be burning or endangered-failed to
bring a response. Notwithstanding his
cool attire, sweat dropped from every
pore. Just as he had reached that nearly
crazed condition which would render him
unaccountable for any act, one Of the
servants came rushing home. The wo-
man, shocked to find her master in 40
slightly clad condition, put her hands
up to her eyes, gave a slight shrek, and
started quickly away. Come back
here, confound you. Let me in!' fairly
Kissed the master. But the woman, now
frightened, ran. and then there was a
foot-race and lively futter, the ghostly
garments kept up as a cadence to the
flying feet Of the man. Just as the man
had been brought to a sudden stop by
painful bruise OF his foot, and he was

the saloon was a box OF eggs, and what
the Piocher proposed was that each shoot

A most singular affair transpired at
Fairman 4 SIMPSONS undertaking shop
on Sandusky street, Allegheny. How it
will terminate can scarcely be imagined.
A young man by the name Of J. s. Prem
tice, who frequently rests himself on the
steps and warns himself by the fire at
Fairman 4 SIMPSONS, fell into such a
sound sleep that some of the BOYS
imagined him dead, and it is alleged by
some police officers that he was almost
past navigating when they last saw him.
1t seemed that he never would wake or
not until Gabriel called for him.
Thinking he was a good subject 10
practice upon, the young men lifted him
gently after embalming him slightly, and
placed his limpid form in the freezing
box. where they wont to nut dead people

The following appeal for aid, though
addressed 10 the people Of Cincinnati,
should meet with willing response from
those Of all sections;
To the reOr'. Of oincinnsti
There are ten thousand people In the
western part Of the STATE OF Nebraska,
who are reduced TO the verge Of starvs-
ton. Nebraska usually 30 prolific, has
this year met with sad mishap in the
loss by grasshoppers Of all the crops grown
in the border counties. I lately travelled
over the devastated region, and found
the inhabitants In a most deplcrable con-
dition in Oundy, Hitchcock, Gospcr,
Boone, Furnas, Franklin, Phelps, How
ard, Greeley, Valley, Buffalo and Sher-
man counties Fully one-third Of the
people had no shoes and were clothed in
rags Many were living on little pieces
Of black bread, water-melons, squashes,
and few were already suffering from
hunger. There was not over ten days
supply Of anything in the counties.
Three counties had no meat, and most Of
the inhabitants had not tasted animal
food for six weeks.
When houses burn, food is generally at
hand, and the people live on in comfort
bat when crops fail, then suffering and
death must soon follow. The roar Of;
flames and the crash of falling buildings
awake the most lively sympathies OF
more fortunate neighbors, and they give
literally; but In the loss OF crops, the
bony hand Of starvation comes silently
to grasp the vitals and wiring life from the
body. The people OF Nebraska have SUI
fered worse disaster than fire.
For ten years this state has not only
maintained its own people, but exported
largely and contributed literally to the
wants Of the unfortunate OF other states
Omaha gave twenty thousand dollars in
cash to the Chicago sufferers after the
fire, which was more tsan one dollar per
head for every man, woman and child IN
the city. The Nebraskians are now
struggling manfully to maintain their
unfortunate people, but they can not do
1t unaided. There are ten thousand des-

grow again. To feed, clothe and warm
