DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
Sad Fate of New Hampshire School
Teasher-A Mothers Curse.

sad Fate of New Hampshire school
Teasher-A Mothers Curse.
Miss Gross, d school teacher in Stark,
n. H., lately committed suicide by
drowning. under the following circum-
stances; as related by a local paper
She had had charge of the school for
several weeks. The scholars thought
much Of her, and till within short
time before her death she kept an or
derby and excellent school. But during
the last week all seemed to be disorder
and confusion in the school. The COM
mittee having heard of the fact, visited
the school and found it much as above
described, on which, after the school
was dismissed, they kindly talked with
her privately relative to the school,
told her how it seemed to them, and
advised her, as she appeared pale and
nearly sick, quietly to go to the agent
and resign her position or if she felt
strong enough to go on with the school,
and thought she could improve in the
particulars they mentioned, she could
do SO. She said she would determine
what was best between that time and
the hour Of school tbs next morning.
ThsS left for their homes. She did not
return to her boarding house that night,
and her friends became alarmed. The
school house was locked. On looking
in at the window the key was seen on
the floor. On entering they discovered
on her desk some little articles of value
she had taken from her person and the
following note, addressed to her sister i:
DEAR MARY All I have to say is that
the curse is fulfilled. The daughters
shall die in sorrow, if not in shame, be-
fore they are twenty. Goodbye all.
LAURAINA.
Search was made for her body. The
school house was situated on the bank
of the river, where the water was deep
and still, and the body was found near
by. Before the coroner's jury her sis
ter explained the note by relating that
they were the children of Amos X. Gross,
of Waterford, Me-. and that in conse-

her father separated from his first wife,
and was again married, on which his
mother, taking sides against him, pro-
nounced with dreadful emphasis this
dreadful curse upon her sons children;
"His daughters shall die in sorrow, il
not in shame, before they are twenty,
and the sons shall be cut off in infan-
cy." She said that for some time Lau-
rama had constantly dwelt upon the
subject Of the curse. and the more SC
recently, as she was nearing the age OF
twenty, and she had done and said
things which had caused her to think
her sister meditated suicide. And hel
room mate testified that only a week
before she had spoken of it to her, and
alluded to the fact that she was nine
teen years Of age, and if the curse was
fulfilled she had but short time longer
to live. The fact that some of hel
brothers died in infancy tended tC
strengthen the superstition, so that ia
sanity and death were the consequence

Cat-Nad.

A Western paper says GA boy of
Willow Creek, CAL, last February was
bitten by o wild cat, and soon got
apparently well of the bite. He is a
muscular boy of seventeen, and lately
he began to be cruel to his younger
brothers and often seized with a strong
desire to eat babies. His brothers ran
from him when the fit was on him, and
babies were kept carefully out of his
reach. He took it into his head that it
was not wrong to kill little children
and very slight crime to murder grown
people. His peculiarities began to at
tract general attention and the people
of Willow Greek became afraid of the
boy. They called him human wild
cat because when he was attacked with
his insane speciality he initiated the
motions of cat. At length he was
caught and taken to Yerka, and put
into Jail for safe keeping. The doctors
heard of the case and had consul
tation over it. They called his malady
rnbia felina, which means cat madness,
and the disease is said to be exceeding.

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Company, for the sale
of their celebrated instruments, create
dissatisfaction with many dealers, who
declare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, espe-
cially by peddlers. By these terms O
person is allowed to hire an organ,
paying only reasonable rent for it
having the privilege, of course, of re-
turning it at any time after six months,
or of purchasing it at any time. If the
purchase is completed within year,
the whole cost of the organ is only five
to ten per cent. more than if all cash
had been paid at the beginning.
Dealers say this is much too small a
difference for the accommodation in
time, and privilege of returning, given.
The Mason & Hamlin Company are
determined to try the experiment thor
oughly ct least, being confident that
their organs will prove SO attractive and
satisfactory in use that scarcely any will
ever be returned to them. Circulars
with full particulars can be obtained by
addressing them in Boston, New York,
or Chicago. Com.

Old Humbugs Discarded.

Thank heaven, the old-school practice
is passing away. Ipecac, aloes, Gallo
mel, blistering, the lancet, and (worse
than ally, medicated rum, have given
place to a new remedy, which bids fair
to become the universal medicine of
mankind. Vinegar Bitters is that
remedy. 1t is destined to take prece-
dence of all other curatives now before
the world. The pharmacopoeia and
conspectus of the regular Faculty con-
tain nothing that will compare with it.
Every day hundreds of the sick are
emancipating themselves from systems
of treatment which entail great expense
and do no good, and are flying to this
cheap and absolutely certain means of
relief. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, liver
complaint, periodic fevers, sick head
ache, kidney diseases, constipation, ner-
vous affections, and in short all mala-
dies, acute or chronic, which do not
involve the irreparable injury of some
vital organ, are cured by this pure inal-
coholic vegetable restorative.-Cona.

Not long ago, says Tribune CORE
spon@ent, passing day in a quiet ru-
raj neighborhood, we visited for an
hour or two the public school. There
were about thirty scholars in the room,
twenty-five of whom could read only in
words of from two to five letters. The
grammar class was called up, and the
questions were asked and answered in
the most uninteresting and mechanical
way. Meantime the rest of the pupils
were studying out loud or gazing round
listlessly, whispering, moving about,
and tossing up their books. When
that class was through the teacher
called up, one at time, the little "pri-
maries," and heard each read and spell
separately in tone we could not catch,
the hubbub of the children continuing
unabated. About every three minutes
some one pupil asked permission to
leave the room, and it was granted.
Thus passed an hour and half, when
school was dismissed, and we had lit.
tie talk with the teacher. OF the three
trustees, he told us, only one ever Wis,
its the school, no parent deigns to come
in all the scholars hadn't come in, SC
he had not been able to organize it.
When cold weather comes there will be
about thirty more, and an assistant.
Meantime the school routine will move
on as it did while we were there. Nc
comments are necessary. We commend
to every parent the picture We have
drawn, and suggest that he or she
ought to know by personal inspection
that it does not portray The school il
his neighborhood.

Died Suddenly Of Heart Diseassl

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal malady This disease generally has Its
origin in impure blood filed with irritating,
poisonous materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irrtate its delicate tissues. Though
the irritation may at first be only slight, pro-
ducing a little palpitation or irregular action,
or dull, heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and
Inflammation, or bypertrophy, or thickening
of the lining membrane or OF the valves, is
produced. How wise to give early attention to
case of this kind Unnatural thropDing or
pain in the region of the heart should admonish
one that all is not right, and il you would pre-
serve it from further disease, you must help 1T
to beat rightly by the use OF such remedy as
will remove the cause of the trouble. Use DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the
disease has become too seated, and 1t will, by
its great blood purifying and wonderful regu-
lating properties, effect perfect cure. IL
contains medicinal properties which act specifi-
cally upon the tissues of the heart, bringing
about a healthy action. Sold by all first-class

Memphis appeal says that laziness is
the cause of want of prosperity in many
districts of the South. In distance
of one hundred miles he saw only two
persons at work in the fields, and one
of them stopped to throw a stone at the
train as it passed. Great numbers OF
whites and blacks were standing about
doing nothing, while the fields were
white with cotton, and the weather pro-
pitious for gathering it. He adds !:
