Bleeding from Lungs. Catarrh, Bronchitis,

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. 18th, 1875.
r. v. PIERcE, NJ. D., Buffalo, N. ":
Dear Sir II had suffered from Catarrh in
an aggravated form for about twelve years and
for several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried
many doctors and things with no lasting bene-

The Fashion in Jewelry.

THE regulation number of bracelets
called porte-bonheur" seems to be six
teen, all worn on one arm.
OPALs are again in fashion, and are
likely to continue so for, in addition to
the singular beauty of the gem, they are
the only precious stones which defy i'm
itation.
The court ladies of Europe wear
jeweled bands tightly clasped around
the throat. They are of exquisite work
manship, and are encrusted with precious
stones.
BIRDS whose wings and bodies are
incrusted with scales are set on wires for
the hair, and earrings and necklaces of
similar material are equally snowy and
beautiful
PINK pearls are greatly esteemed.
One of these rare gems, unset and per-
fectly round, weighs forty-one grains
and set of earrings and pendant
brooch of real beauty has large satin
finish pearls, each weighing eighty
grains.
CHAINS of sequins are very much
used they are grouped in rows of five
or seven chains, but one or two rows are
amply sufficient. Smaller chains are
used for the hair.

Surgery Extraordinary.


Says the Ashville On. CO. Pioneer.
On Monday night of last week num-
ber of men met at a house on North Tow
river. Mitchell county, for the purpose
OF general spree. AS usual in such
cases, a quarrel ensued, and in fight
between young man named Davis and
a drunken companion named Tooley, the
former was stabbed in the abdomen, and
portions of the entrails protruded from
the wound. In this condition he was
placed in blanket, pole run through
a loop in the same, and the ends shoul-
dered by two men, who attempted to
carry him where he could get surgical
aid. Their path led along the side of a
rugged mountain, and they had borne
him some distance when the knot through
which the pole ran loosened, and the
wounded man was thrown down the
mountain, his intestines catching on
bushes and winding around him as he
rolled down its precipitous side. He
was alive when picked up, and his friends
carried him to house In the neighbor-
hood. We are informed that an old
midwife was called in to attend him.
She pushed back the entrails and sewed
up the oriice with packthread. Later
in the day DIR. Dugger arrived, who
gave it as his opinion that the operation
had not been properly done-that Davis
"paunch was not in the right position,
and that some of the minor entrails were
missing. This he ascertained by giving
the patient several heavy shakes; he said
"the sound was too hollow" At his
order the man was again ripped open,
while parties were sent in search of the
missing entrails. They found several of
these indispensables to the progress of
digestion, and, hurrying back to the
house, handed them to the M. ID. AS
theJ were very dirty, he rinsed them in
cold water, sprinkled little salt over
them as a preservative, and then put
them in the patient. The wound was re-
sewed, and when our informant left it
was thought that Davis would recover.
If he does, life insurance policy would
be the greatest extravaganza he could
indulge in.

As We read the revised statutes, the
silver coins Of the United States are an
unlimited legal tender to the United

only. There are like laws in Great Brit
