The Republicans of Pennsylvania have a
hard fight before them. The Democracy in
hat state have appealed to the dishonest and
discontented, and with the help of these
powerful elements hope to win the victory.
The wise course for the Republicans to pur-
sue is to take decided ground on the currency
question, and preach the gospel of resump-
ton in every quarter of the state. Honest
people only need to see the right, in fnan-
cial as in other matters, to follow it. A few
speeches by Stuart L. Woodford would do
heaps of good in Pennsylvania this campaign

dred. He takes three drachms OF
chloral when he goes to bed-a dose
sufficient to kill as many men. Three
months pass, and he is taking three and
half drachms at bed time and one at
early morning can barely walk one hun
dred yards without sitting or lying
down the irritability of the brain is
changed into agony if he attempts to
rise from chair, there is horrible sense
of strangulation. Three months more,
and he is pronounced hopelessly gone
with heart disease, and he constantly
contemplates suicide. He has lost all
power of reading, writing, or speaking
aloud, and toward night every vein
seems inhamed and swollen to double
the size and when given up by one
medical man, another arrives, who de-
stroys all his chloral, and informs him
that his heart is not diseased, but o1ly
weakened by the poison imbibed.
The first night passed without chloral
was dreadful-sleep impossible and for
over week he never slept a wink. He
became delirious, but recovery came at
length, though tediously. In three
months, however, he could walk as many
miles, and sleep returned to bless him
each succeeding month, carrying him
nearer to q complete cure and perfect
health to which he only lately attained.

A Boys Plot 20 Kill His Parents.

A Boonville correspondent of the Sc
dalia (Missouri) Democrat gives the de-
tails of a strange affair: Mr.. Pomeroy
Beeding, a son of Mr.. E. l.. Bedding,
living in Cambridge, Missouri, was de-
tected in an attempt to murder his
father, mother and brother-in-law. Mr..
Beeding is one of the wealthiest and
most popular men in the State, and be-
ing desirous of giving his son good
education, sent him to Fayette, Missouri,
small place, where he thought he would
not get the opportunity of practising his
accustomed rascality.
After Pomeroy had been there for a
few weeks, his father went to visit him,
and found he had gotten deeply in debt,
and was engaged to be married to q
young lady, who had broken an engage
ment for this purpose. Mr.. Bedding,
thinking this was the wrong life for n
schoolboy to lead, took him home. The
boy wished to marry, but he had no
money, was not of age, and had no
means of getting any; so he decided to
kill his father, mother and brother-in-
law, who constituted the family. To do
this he tried to get Mr. Stanton, man
VI uOG tlle DeSu SttuulnS, w uooloo ililh
He told Mr. Stanton he would give him
81, 800 for the job, saying that he could
get man in st. Louis to do it for $500,
but was afraid the st. Louis man
would kill the wrong persons. Mr..
Stanton told Pomeroy to meet him in
a log house on certain night, and they
would proceed from there to commit the
deed.
Mr.. Stanton had no idea of keeping
his promise, but told MIR. Breeding OF
his sons designs. Thinking that the
father would not believe him, Mr.. Stan
ton got two men to accompany him to
the log house as witnesses. After they
had arrived there Pomeroy commenced
telling Stanton the details of the work.
Just then the men from underneath
came in, grabbed him and took him tt
his father.
Mr.. Breeding had him horsewhipped
gave him draft for $50 and discarded
him. Pomeroy went to Glasgow, got
his draft paid, sent for his trunk, ant
went to st. Louis, since which time moth
ing has been heard from him.

A Mennonite Wedding,

The first Mennonite wedding since
coming to this country occurred in Bar
ton county, Kansas, recently, and the
contracting parties were Benjamin Un-
rub and Mary Unruh. A correspondent
thus describes the event:
The ceremony was performed in ac-
cordance with the customs that prevail
among the people of Russia, and as such
is of interest to those who wish to get
acquainted with them. The day was
Sunday, and as such was especially OBJ
served. The writer went to the school
house at $50 o'clock. The congregation
We're singing. The music was not of the
most artistic kind. At ten o'clock the
bride and groom entered, entirely unat-
tended, and took seats on two chairs
placed especially for them directly in
front of the pulpit. The sermon took
one hour and three-quarters. 1t was en-
tirely with notes. The wedding cere-
mony was read from manuscript, and
occupied about half an hour. The bride
and groom kept their seats during most
OF the half hour. Both answered &c Yes "
five times. To what they answered do
not know, as 1 do not understand Ger
man. They left the house as they came,
and apparently as happy as folks gen
orally are under such circumstances.
The parties are of the most well-to-do
families that are settling here. The
bride came from Russia with her parents
last fall. She was dressed very neatly in
black. There was no paint, jute or other
modern improvements in her outfit, and
l think American girls might proftably
follow her example in this matter. The
groom has been in this country about
sixteen months, and has been in Nebraska
till about two weeks since. He speaks
very good English, is plow maker, and
very well informed. He has bought
railroad land here, and is going to farm,
ing. They are of the class that are
bound to succeed in Kansas, and they
will be the most wealthy, intelligent and
happy of our citizens.

DIR. WALKER TRIED VARIOUS EXTRACTS
from herbs and roots, without benefit.
He noticed, however, that alcohol, that
bane of the human race, was used in
their preparation, and he determined to
exclude the poison entirely from his own
practice, so that the sin of making men
drunkards, while pretending to cure them,
should never lie at his door. The Al
mighty blessed his experiments, and in
the Vinegar Bitters he has produced a
pure, health-restoring agent, which
banishes disease in every form, reinvigo-
rates the system, and restores strength
to the feeblest sufferer. There is no part
of ife's citadel where the enemy
can make lodgment that the Vinegar
Bitters will net find him and put him to
the rout. Impurity of blood is the
parent of disease; the liver, the stomach,
the lungs, the nerves, every vital organ
is affected primarily, from this cause,
and in this direction the Vinegar Bitters
acts with magical influence. ,s,si-2l

A Singular Verdict.

The following report of singular
trial for libel comes to us from England:
The plaintiffs were firm trading under
the name of the British and Foreign
Stationery Society. In 1878, one of the
members was person named Yeomans,
But some time in 1874 he retired, and
became travelling agent of the firm;
and the dissolution of the partnership
was duly registered and published in the
Gazette. The defendant was the pub
Usher of a newspaper called the Book
seller, in which dissolutions of partner
ship, bankruptcies, and other matters of
special interest to the trade were in
serted. In January of this year, the
notice of this particular dissolution, so
far as regards the man Yeomans, was
copied Uer6atine from the Gazette, and
it so appeared in the Bookseller, but by
a blunder of the printer in arranging his
matter it fell under the head of "First
Meetings Under the New Bankruptcy
Act, /" instead of that of Dissolutions
of Partnership" Directly the mistake
was discovered, which was not till two
or three days after, the defendant called
upon the plaintiffs and expressed his re-
gret for the error. He also published
the correction in his own paper, and in
another trade periodical called the Sta
toner, besides circulating it far and
wide throughout the county by means
of printed circulars. The plaintiffs,
however, were not satisfied with this,
and brought their action.
Upon these facts being stated, the
judge WHO tried the case endeavored to
have it stopped. He characterized it as
one in which the plaintiffs had allowed
their temper to get the better of their
judgment, and expressed very strong
and decided opinion that some arrange
ment ought to be arrived at between the
parties. The plaintiffs were little re-
luctant to agree to this, but the defend
ant, still more confident in the equity of
his cause, intimated through his counsel
o determination not to have the case
withdrawn from the jury. Accordingly
it went on. The defendant proved that
the whole thing was q printers error,
and he enumerated the apology and the
various means he had taken to have it
rectifed. The judge summed up in his
favor, and even declared that such ac-
tions only impeded the course of justice,
and prevented the trial of others which
were of real importance. But the jury,
without much deliberation, returned q
verdict for the plaintiffs, with fifty
pounds damages. Now, if such deci-
sion as this can be sustained, there is
an end to all our previous ideas of a
libel

American Apples in England.

Nothing astonishes the English more
than the system of barreling apples in
the United States. In that country the
crop is placed thinly on shelves, in fruit
houses constructed especially for the
purpose, and no one thinks of sending
them long distances to market. Our
Rhode Island Greetings and Baldwins,
therefore, which now go there in barrels
in immense quantities, surprise them
considerably. A good deal of this is,
perhaps, due to the varieties we send
there. A few years ago the Newtown
Pippin was the great American apple in
the London market; but since the failure
of that variety, those two named have in
a measure taken its place. 1t is not,
however, that these apples should reach
the English markets in such excellent
condition after being merely barreled up
that so astonishes the English; the price
is also wonder, for after being sent so
far, they can still be sold at price
which the English can hardly touch with
their own fruit. This speaks well for
the progress of American fruit culture.
