BleedinS from Lungs, Catarrh, From
chitis, Consumption. WSndsrfah
cure.
ROCHESTER, N. z, Jan. IS, 1874.
r. v Pierce, B,Eralo, ". 7.
DEAR SIR: had suffered from catarrh
in an aggravated form for about twelve
years, aud for several years from bronchia.
trouble. Tried many doctors and things
with no lasting benefit. In May, 12, be-
coming nearly worn out with excessive edl-
toriai labors on a paper in New Ycrk City,
1 was attacked with bronchitis in a severe
form, suffering almost a total loss of Voice.
l returned home here, but had been home
only two weeks when l was completely
prostrated with hemorrhage OF the lungs,
having four severe bleeding spslls rithin t,ce
,cesks and first three inside Of nine days. In
the September following, L improved sufh-
GENTLY to be able to be about, though in
very feeble state. My bronchial trouble re-
mained and the catarrh was tenfeld worse
than before Every effort for relief seemed
fruitsss. 1 seemed to be losing ground
daily. L continued in this feeble state, rails
ing blood almost daily, until about the first
of March, '73, when l became so bad as to
be entirely confined to the house. A friend
suggested your remedies. But l was ex-
tremely skeptical that they would do me no
good, az had lost all heart in remedies,
and began to look upon medicine and doctors
with disgust. However, l obtained one of
your circulars and read it carefully, from
which, came to the conclusion that you un-
derstood your business. AT least 1 finally OBJ
tained 4 quantity of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery
and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous
use according to directions. To my surprise,
/ soon began to improve. The Discovery
and Pellets, in a short time, brought out a
severe eruption which continued for several
weeks felt much better, my appetite i'm
prored, and 1 gained in strength and flesh.
In three months every vestigo of the catarrh
was gone, the bronchitis had nearly disap-
peared, had no cough whatever; and had
entirely ceased to raise blood; and, contrary
to the expectation of some of my frieuds,
the cure has remained permanent, / have
had no more hemorrhages from the lungs,
and am entirely free from catarrh, from
which | had suffered SO much and 40 long.
The debt Of gratitude owe for the blessing
/ have received a: your hands, knows no
bounds I am thoroughly Satisfied, from
my experience, that your medicines will
master the worst forms of that odous dis
ease ca,arrh as we'll as throat and lung dis
eases. I have recommended them to very
many and shall ever speak in their praise
Gratefully yours, WIN. II. SPENCE.

An INTERESTING Law SUIT.-The case
of the Commonwealth against Miss Agnes
Wilson, on the charge of larceny, tried before
Judge Dean at our court last week, was one
of the most interesting eases tried for some
time. The prosecutor WAS NJ. James Walls
a gentleman bordering on his three score and
ten, and with considerable of this world y
goods, while the defendant was a lady not
yet thirty. She was accused of purloining
a silk dress and bonnet valued at about S 100
Tire history of the case is substantially a.
follows. as revealed during the trial. In
October last Miss Wilson went to live with
Walls, who % her uncle by marriage, and it
appears that during her so1ourn he took \
fancy to her, aud intimated that he desired
her 10 become his wife. Che persistenfly
refused all offers, saying at one time: "Ar
Walls, you can keep all your money; 1 can't
60 it" In the meantime, Ir. Walls had
sent to tho sity and purchased the dress and
bonnet. The dress he had sent to a mantua-
makers in Petersburg to have made up, for
Miss Wilson. At the dressmaksr's house
Mr. Walls and Miss Wilson went one day,
and while there, according to her testimony,
she inferred that Mr.. Walls gave Miss Will
son the dress. Mr. Walls counsel argued
that the dress had only been loaned to her
Subssqeptly, Nr. Walls learned that Agnes
was receiving attentions from gentleman
in A Altooua, which exasperatel him tha t
he took the dress from he i dressmakor's and
locked it up At home. Come time after Miss
Wilson called At his residence, and upon the
promise of her accompanying him to church
she obtained possession of the drsss. She
did accompany him as far as Petersburg,
when she made an excuse that she had a
letter to put in the post Office. From that
time she has had he dress ia Iior poss ession,
and by the verdict of the jury which was for
her acquittal, she still has the dress, and Mr..
Walls has no doubt been taught the folly of
suing in such cases. +. N. Lytle ESQ at
torusy for the defendant, whose reputation
az = criminal lawyer 10 famous, ,nade some
thrusts at the plaintiff, which if not appro-
pirate, were extremely original and facstious,
causing continual uproars from, the audience.
w. II. Woods Esq, argued for the plaintiff
in an earnest and forcible manner, Judge
Dean rendered an Impartial charge, inform
ing the jury that the defendant was entitled
to the benefit of any reasonable donht as to
her guilt, and the jury returned the next
morning with a verdict of not guilty-Uun-

18th: There is a joke going tEe rounds at
Harrisburg just how, and it. is all at the
pcnse Of Hon. John Buck, of Carrolltowr.
When the members of the Legislature were
drawing their ALLOW ance of postage stamps
Mr. Buck stepprd up in his turn, and pre-
sented his order. The Clerk asked him the
usual question: What denominatiou?' Our
legislature facetiously replied that he was u
Lutheran and the distributor of $, amps was
necessitated TO tell him that he wished to
know which II was, one, two, or three-cent
stamps he wanted" 1t may he an extreme
ly good joke, but the truth of history COM
pe.s MS 10 state that il was member from
York county, n Lutheran by profession, who
made the remark attributed tn Mr.. Buck.
he latter gentleman is q member of another
denomination. But it is just like the 7'ri.
oune to not stick to the precise text when n
point is to he made OH political opponent.
Some ewhere about Christmas, an order
bearing date Dee. %, 1874, on Mr. Lloyd of
the firm of Myers & Lloyd and pnrportiug
TO be signed by Noah Dishong, was present
ed at the store of that firm Itca,lcd for 400
worth of store goods, and was duly honored
Subsequently an order on the same firm for
S22 worth of store goods payable to Henry
Warner and signed by John Wilkinson. was
also presented and paid. After scrutiny re-
vealed the fact that these orders were both
couched in the same style of penmanship.
and investigation revealed the fact that both
we're forgeries. A constable was put on the
track of the forger, when il was discovered
that Henry Warren alias Geo. w Doudon.
was a resident of Jackson township, where
he had eked ont n rather precarious Iiveli-
hood as laborer since last Spring He WAS
taken into custody, and search OF the prem
ises resrlted in the discovery of most of the

claimed by their rightfnl owners A forged

FIRE AT OsHKosH.-OsHKosH,
Wis, December l6.-About 5 p. m.
to-day fire. broke out in the planning
mill and sash, door and blind factory
OF James P. Gould, near the North
western derot. A binding snow
storm was raging at the time, with the
wind a perfect gale from the west
The flames spread turiously before the
wind, and in few moments the en-
tire mill was enveloped, and also the
Grant House owned by Major String
ham. The flames leaped across the
street to the lumber yard of Stephen
son 6 Badger, but by superhuman ef-
forts of the 6remen the FIRE was
checked in that direction. The en-
tire mill containing large amount of
stock was consumed, together with the
Grant House. The Northwestern de-
pot, only twenty feet from the Grant
House, was saved, James P. Gould
loss on mill and stock is $25, 900, in
sured for $4,000, all but $1,000 in

Grant House is $1,000, with no in
sprance. L. F. Arnold, proprietor Of
an eating house, loses on stock re-
moved and damaged $1,000. The
origin Of the fire is supposed to bsve

A CITY UNDER THE SEA-A cor
respondent of the Buffalo Courier
writes as follows: sIn the latter end
of the last century, old Port Royal dis
appeared beneath the waves in al
earthquake, leaving no other memorial
behind than these few patches of reefs.
In calm and clear evenings you may
look down into fifteen fathoms Of water
ard see submerged houses, towers and
churches, with sharks swimming quiet
ly in and out OF the open windows Of
the belfries. TIE work Of centuries
was destroyed in few moments by one
single convulsive throb of the thin film
on which man had lived and speculated
for ages past. An American diving
company, instigated in their enterprise
by tales Of untold wealth buried be-
meath the sea by this sudden shock,
rescued no treasures but the big bell
suspended still in the tower, aud do
mated the same to the museum Of the
island. where it may be seen with many
puzzling inscriptions upon it which no
body has, a. yet, been able to decipher.

Gods First Temples.

Bayard Taylor, in his interesting
work entitled Home and Abroad, /" in
graphic account Of the mammoth
trees OF California, thus describes the
telling of one Of the largest specimens
Of the Sierra Nevada: After steady
labor OF six weeks the things were
done, but the tree stood unmoved, SO
straight and symmetrical was its
growth so immense was its weight.
aud so broad It's base, that it seemed
unconscious Of its own annihilation
tossing its outer branches derisively
against the mountain winds that streve
to overthrow it A neighboring pine
OF giant size was then selected, aud
felled in such away as to fall with full
force against it. The top shook a
little; but the shaft stood as before;
6ually the spoilers succeeded in driv-
ing their wedge into the cut Graz
uaily, aud with great labor Que side of
the tree was lifted; the line Of equilib-
rum was driven nearer and nearer to
The edge of the base; the mighty man
poised for moment, and then. with a
great rushing Sigh in all its boughs,
thundered dowa. The forest was
ground to dust beneath it, and for a
mile around the earth shook with the
conclusion" The work Was perform
ed by two sets of hands with the aid
of long pump augers. be tree was
a mass of solid wood ninety feet in
circumference, containing some two
hundred and fifty thousand feet OF
timber; and according to the annual
rings, its age was three thousand one
hundred years. The stump is now
used for ball room. and the trunk
for bowling alley DR.. Biglow said
of this specimen: 1t requires thirty
one Of my PAGES, of three feet each; TO
measure its circumference at the
stump; and the raere telling of it cost
at Californian prices for wages, the
sum of five hundred and fifty dollars
An idea OF the sublime proportions OF
these wonderful fathers of the forest
can be formed after seeing a man on
horseback riding distance of seventy
FIVE feet through hollow trunk, and
emerging frem a knot hole in the
side."

ANTICIPATED FAMINE IN CUBA

ANTICIPATED FAMINE IN CUBA
There is another aud very serious
source of trouble to the Spanish Gov
ernment reported in Cuba, by which
'amlne may yet aid the patriots in their
struggle FOR Freedom. The reinforce
mems recently forwarded to Cuba have
been Carlist cavalry prisoners. but as
the Spaniards have no horses, they
have seized the miserable animals be-
longing to the arrieros Havana de-
pended upon these arrteros for its sup
ply of provisions ana vegetables. which
they can no longer bring in. Thus the
supply OF this kind of food has not on
ly been cut of, but the arrieros have
been converted into w.rm friends of
the patriots. In addition to this, the
small farms in the section of the island
still held by the SpaDiards, have been
destroyed. The planters can no long
er pay taxes, and Valmaseda can neith-
er pay nor feed his troops, while the
cities Of the island are so overcrowded
With people driven in from the inter-
ior, that famine already begins to
threaten them. The atrocious barbara
ties practiced by the Spanish authori-
ties in the prosecution Of the war, will
prevent any sympathy being extended
to them in case the surmise as above
reported should take place. The speck
Of war in the Spanish-American hori-
zon was distant, and inactivity again
reigns in naval circles.

was decided Tuesday in the Dubuque
(Iowa) district court. AT the last
Presidential election G. B. Hamilton
and John D. Bush. put up 5000, in

which he overdrew his regular bank
account $870. Meantime the bank
suspended, and the trustees Of the de-

Hamilton for the $3.50 overdrawn.
The court decided in favor Of plaintiff,
refusing to admit defendants claims,
