Messrs Helphenstine Il Bentley:
For many years past have been a suf-
ferer from Chronic Rheumatism, and few
weeks since my attack was unusually Sc
we're. | was deprived of sleep for several
nights, SO acute was my pain from this
disease. Ny knees were stiff, so much so
that locomotion was difficult, and | was
only able to get TO my office by the aid of
two canes. Mr. E P Peck, correspondent
of the press, who is well known to me, no.
ticed my condition and recommend me to
try Durang's Rheumatic Remedy. On his
representation called upon you at your
store and purchased bottle Of the Rene
dy, and have only to say in my case lis
effect upon me was wonderful A few
doses enabling me to sleep soundly at
night, removing partially the stiffness of
the knee joints and one bottle relieving
the stiffness entirely, and as have not had
a return of the disease since, hope it is
totally eradicated from my system by the
use OF one bottle Of your remedy.

Accidental Poisoning.

Last Tuesday morning, the wife Of
Mr.. Amos Hegerman, farmer, who
resides about six miles above town,
feeling like she was going to have
chill, concluded to stave it off with a
dose of quinine. On the mantelpiece
was paper of white powders she had
tasted and found bitter, which she sup
posed to be quinine, but which turned
out to be strychnine her husband had
purchased last spring for the purpose
of poisoning coons. This she dissolved
in water and swallowed. Fortunately
it proved to be an inferior article, its
deadly qualities having materially
evaporated from long exposure to the
air, and it was some five or six min
utes before she began to experience the
peculiar burning sensation of the pois-
on. 1t Immediately flashed upon the
members of the family present that she
had swallowed poison, and a hurried
examination of the premises verified the
suspicion. They Begin at once drench-
ing her with oil and new milk, and
hurrieda messenger otto town for DIR.
j. t. Miller, who, on his arrival found
her in commissions. He resorted to all
the usual appliances to relieve her
stomach of its dangerous guest; and,
thanks to the inferiority of the poison
and the prompt measures taken by the
family to counterfeit its effects, he sue
ceeded in removing the last vestage
from her system. She is now as well
as ever, and will, doubtless be a little
more careful of what she swallo VS.
hereafter. People should be careful
how they leave poison lying around
loose about their houses, for had the
strychnine used in the present case not
lost a goOdly portion of its strength, a
good woman and excellent housewife
would have forfeited her life to care
lessness little short of criminal.

she has consented to open a select

Gruelle is the most popular teacher of
children we ever had in Hartford, and
it is to the persuasion Of many of the
heads of families in our town that she
has at length concluded to return to
teaching. Her school will continue
three months, and her terms will be
s1,00 per month for each scholar.
Parents desiring to subscribe pupils,
will confer a favor by leaving their
names at z. Wayne Grifin's Drug
Store, where subscription paper will
be found We hope Mrs. Gruelle will
obtain large and remunerative

and deserving lady. We understand
that it is her intention to procure the
hall under the Masonic Lodge for her
schoolroom.Q g.. e..

A Fatal Aeeident-The Baggage
Master Jumps from the Cars and
is Almost Instantly Killed.

Monday night when the West
bound passenger train reached Cecil
ian, the section boss of that place
boarded the train to act as baggage
master, for the regular man for that
business. The gentleman had per.
formed his -duty well until just before
reaching Beaver Dam, when he seated
himself on a trunk in the baggage car,
and had fallen into doze. When the
train whistled for the above named
place, he sprang to his feet, grabbed
his lantern, and leaped from the car,
the fall killing him almost instantly.
The cars being under Roadway, did
not stop until they reached the depot,
when it was announced by the news
boy that a man had fallen from the
cars just at the whistling to put on
brakes. The conductor ordered the
engineer to back up and get the un.
fortunate man. He was put upon the
train and carried to Rockport, and as
the E,st bound train passed, which
was about three hours after the West
bound, he was returned to Cecilian a
corpse.

On lat Frialy evening young gen
tlema1 from the Centertown vicinity
had an occasion to visit this place, and
while here invested a few "shin- plast-
ers" in prize candy for his sweetheart.
While meandering over the city, he
Glanced to give US call to see us
"strike off" some papers. Shortly
after leaving this office he discovered
that he had lost his candy, and he came
rushing breathlessly up the stairs and
inquired for the "devil." He was
shown the proper person, when he ad-
dressed him thusly: "See here, Mis-
ter, I'll be gol durn my upper shot, eff
you don't give up that candy 1 got fer
my gal, I'll make yer think you've
'clided with a streak of double geared
lightning. His Satanic MJesty in
formed him that he had not seen the
lost treasure, but an old gentleman
from Beaver Dam had just found a
small package at the foot of the steps,
and was off for home, but if he would
start Immediately he could overtake
him before he got far. The last We
saw of him he was going in the direc-
ton of Beaver Dam making 2:40

General Baukrup tcy.

There is a probability that some poor
fellow who forgot to go home until
"after the evening shadows fell" will
get his horses foot fastened in hole
on one of the levee bridges, and either
break his horses leg or his own neck,
which would break his wife's heart,
who would sue for damages and break
the county, and in the general smash )
up the grandjury would break the
road Overseer into infinite atoms, SO
small that "Mountain>Grip" would
fail to stick him together, should
his wife be so unfortunate as to gather
up all the fragments, and thereby
break grand fundamental law of ma
ture.

The Fish-trap-A Nuisance.

The fish-trap on Rough creek, some
fifteen or twenty miles above Hartford,
to follow the meandering of the stream,
has not only become a source of con-
siderable annoyance to the neighbors
living in the immediate vicinity, but
also a fountain-head from which flow
disease which spreads for miles around.
In the summer and fall when the creek
is low, the dam pushes back body OF
water some FIVE or six miles, which
becomes stagnant, emitting q stencil
from the almost putrid water and de-
cayed vegetation, that is sickeningly Ia
dened with malaria, which breeds
chills and fatal fevers. This can be
remedied by an order from the County
Court ordering its removal, and the
complete demolition of the obstruction
to the free flow of the stream can be
accomplished in a few hours, with lit
tie or no cost TO the county. An order
placed in the hands of some neighbor,
who has had his corn fields robbed,
and his rails and tobacco sticks burned
by the rowdies from a distance who
congregate there of nights to watch
the trap, drink whisky, play cards,
and make night hideous with their
demoniacal yells, would be cheerfully
obeyed.
