of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor OF

Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates OF
many persons of The highest responsibility, who have
been restored to health after being pronounced in-
durable by physicians OF acknowledged ability
Scbenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will shows but the cure often pro-

which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic

Killed by a Bear.

On Friday Of last week, Mr.. w. W.
Waddell, a well-known citizen, went
deer hunting in company Of John Brad
ley, on the gulch above his mill. Not
finding any game in that vicinity, they
concluded to cross the Steele gulch,
where they expected TO find game more
plentiful. On reaching the gulch, Brad
ley proceeded up the left side and Wad-
dell the right. Before going many steps,
Waddell came cross the remains of a
deer, which he supposed to have been
devoured by a California lion. He kept
going up, and 500 came to a narrow
%ravine, washed out six or seven feet be-
low the surface; his dog took a trail,
started up the ravine, and soon disap-
peared from view. Waddel heard the
dog bark, and suppOsing he had the lion
at bay, took a seat for the purpose of
awaiting results. But a few moments
elapsed before the dog came bounding
out of the ~ravine, and made straight for
his master; and before Mr.. Waddell had
time to comprehend the situation, a
grizzly, that had pursued the dog, had
him by the thigh. The deg was not
idle, and at once made a rear attack
upon bruin. This had the effect of
making the bear LET go his hold of Wad-
dell, and the dog and the bear disap-
peared about as rapidly as they anne in
view, the bear in pursuit. When they
were out of sight, Wadden, finding him
self in a crippled condition, fired his gun
a signal for Bradley to come to his
assistance. Bradley, who had been

The Oldest Gray Goose.

There has been a great deal Of talk
about ~centennials and c~entenarians re-
Gently, but they have all been thrown
into the shade by an individual who re-
Gently departed this life in Paris aged
2O3 years. This aged creature was,
however, not a human being, but a
goose, belonging to a workman named
Payen, who resided at Villeneque Saint
George. 1t had been in the possession
Of the family over two centuries, as GER
tain documents in the hands of its pres
ent owner c~onclusiyely proved. 1t was
called Babette, and knew its name per-
fectly, always coming when called by it.
For three years past it has been in a
semi-lethargic condition, but up to that
time il had been lively and preserved a
good appearance. The Director Of the
Jardin des Plantes, hearing Of the exist
ence Of this venerable fowl, caused it to
be purchased. The fatigues Of a jour
ney to Paris were too much for a con-
stitution enfeebled by two centuries of
existence, and Babette expired in a few
hours after her arrival at her new home.
She is to be stuffed and installed with all
honors in the museum attached to the
gardens.-Luey Hooper, in AppletOnS'
/ Journal.

Illness of n Negro Woman who Drank
a YOudOO Broth.

Another of those queer cases arising
from the superstitious practices of our
negro population has been developed in
the vicinity of Peck's Mill, a neighbour
hood where a large part of the Voudoo-
ism among the negroes exists. The
points of the case seem to be these
Some time ago a negro woman fell sick,
and her disease was pronounced by q
physician to be either cancer or abscess
of the stomach. She has suffered no
little from the disease, and has seemed
oppressed with the idea that her days
were few in this world. But about a
week ago she was told by an old negro
woman, who visited her, that her trou-
BILE was not what the doctor had said,
but that it was "Hoodoo Sickness
produced by the witchery of some one
who had a grudge against her. The
woman, in her superstition and fear,
Jumped al the idea, and it at once be-
came a fixed belief with her. She was
advised by her old friend to visit a YOU
doc doctress, an old negro bag, who
lives somewhere in Shermantown. The
advice was acted upon, and the sufferer
was told by this old mixer of nauseous
and dangerous doses, that she could
give her a cure for her disease. The
woman at once paid IS for the cure,
and after a day was given a paper of
dingy powdered stuff, of which she was
to make a pot of soup. She went home
and made the broth as directed, and
then swallowed the whole of it. In the
course of a half hour or less, she was
taken with violent pains in the stomach
and head, and for a while was delirious.
She vomited freely and with terrible
retchings. Her eyes were swollen and
seemed to be nearly out of their sockets.
During the whole of Wednesday night
she was in great pain, and is now pros
trated from the effects of her illness.
Sweet oil was given to her in large doses
and she was rubbed with pepper from
head to feet. What caused the violent
sickness was certainly the voudoo soup,
and it was made, it is said, by some of
the negroes, of sulphur, pounded roots
and pieces Of snake meat! Such is the
Judgment Of one negro who pretends to
have known similar cases. The woman
is recovering, but swears she will prose-
cute the thieving voudoos.-Atlanta

A Curious Tree.

The most singular freak of nature can
be seen in a tree up near Eureka. 1t is
half pine and half fir. 1t is a good-sized
tree, perhaps seventy-ive feet high.
The body from the ground to a distance
of thirty feet is pine. Then for a dis
lance of twenty feet it fir. The remain
ing twenty-five feet, like the lower por-
ton, is pine. The fir portion of the
tree is in a very lourishing condition.
Th~efoliage Oh that part is so dense that
the trunk or limbs can hardly be seen
through it. On the pine portion the
leaves re rather scarce. The tree is
neal the road, and has been noticed by
nearly all who ever passed that way. 1t
is a rare curiosity, and well worth see
ing.-Neradd (Cdl.) Transcript.

Oyster Pie.-For this pie, puff paste
may be used. Butter a deep tin two
quart basin, line the bottom and sides
with the paste, rolled to about half an
inch thickness: take a quart or three
pints of oysters from their W liquor
and put them into a pie; cut a quarter
of a pound of sweet butter in bits the
size of a hickory nut, strew these over
the oysters; sprinkle over a teaspoonful
of ground pepper, and dredge them
white with wheat flour, then strain the
oyster liquor over; add to it enough
milk or water very nearly TO reach the
top of the paste; lay some skewers
across; roll some of the paste to nearly
half an inch thickness, make an aper-
ture in the center to allow the steam to
escape, also several small incisions with
a knife on either side of the center:
cover the pie; dip your fingers in flour,
and pinch the top and side paste nearly
together. Bake nearly an hour in a
quick oven; draw out the skewers be-
fore sending to the table.
