A Wild Shot.

About half-past l O'clock Sun day
morning a pistol-shot was fred SEEM
ingly from the southwest corner of Fifth

into window in the stone-front tene-
ment house opposite, and struck within

one of the rooms.
The sound of the explosion caught the
ears Of Officers Smith, Klingler and

He was taken in.
Soon after Officer Sussman, learning
of the mysterious shot, went to Miss
Lawler's saloon In the immediate neigh
borhood, from where the shot seemed to
emenate, and there learned that O young
man named George Stevens, son of the
horse dealer, lately deceased, had been
sleeping in the saloon that night, and
who gave himself up to the officers who
preferred the charge Of drunkenness
against him.
sussmann thinking that he was the
party who fred the shot, went to the
Hammond-street Station-house, where
Stevens had. been taken, and found q
pistol in his boot, which had been cut to
admit it, with one chamber empty. Both

rFrom the Rochester Union, March 26.l
A year ago to-day there was no.
tice in the Union of the 108th ami
yersary of the birth of Augustin Pi-
card, q resident of this city. 1t was
then stated that the old gentleman
bid fair to see his 109th birthday,
and we take pleasure in announcing
to-day that he is apparently as well
as he was year ago. Picard was
born in the district of South River,
Province of Quebec, March "a, 1867,
and removed to this city in 1860,
he has resided with his daughter
Mrs. Charles Goetze, since then.
He arises early in the morning, ana
after dispatching hearty meal taxes
his seat by the stove and smokes his
pipe. The weed is his consolation,
and he has been devotee OF 1t
from his youth up. Augustine comes
from long lived family. He has
sister residing in Quebec wao is 1O7
years of age, and he has one daugh-
ter who is nearly ninety years of age.
His father lived to the age Of lob
years and his mother to 104. Au-
gustine is particularly bright in intel
lect for one of his years, and aside
from a little deafness, possesses all of
his faculties. He used to be regu-
lar attendant at st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral until the difficulty of walking
prevented him. The old man may
survive another year, but his tenure
of life must be painfully uncertain.

The Charges Against Thurman.

= AHC ~AAe~1 - -, - - - - - - ~@s
From the Northern Ohio Democrat. ]
We have been accused of throwing
dirt on Allen G. Thurman by insinu-
ations that were unmanly, because
we intimated that he had received
large fees as an attorney for the At
lantic & Great Western Railway.
Now that there may be no mistake
about what we have to say on this
subject, we charge that he received
one hundred thousand dollars for act
ing as trustee of said Atlantic d
Great Western Railroad for taco
gears, and that this large and un
precedented amount of money for his
services for not more than one-fourth
of the time for the period he was en-
ployed, was paid him because he was
a Senator in Congress from the State
of Ohio. Who ever heard of such
an amount of money being paid any
mere lawyer for his services? He
received the enormous fee because he
was a member of the United States
Senate to secure his political infiu-
ence in favor of the corporation that
paid the money. We are tired of the
iunkeyism that clings to the coat
tails of men in power, and empties
slush tubs on those who refuse to
wear the livery that they delight to
appear in. We have been provoked
by gang of little whipper-snappers
to make this statement, and we are
ready to stand by it, and can prove it
from the books Of the Atlantic &
Great Western Railway.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.

Probably there is no complaint that af-
ficts the human system, which is so lit
tie understood at the present time, as
some of the varied forms of Kidney
Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such
acute pain or more alarming in its re-
suits than when the kidneys fail to Sc
crete from the blood the uric acid, and
other poisonous substances, which the
blood accumulates in its circulation
through the system.
Ii from any cause the kidneys fail to
perform the functions devolving upon
them. the cumulations are taken up by
the absorbents, and the whole system
thrown into state of disease, causing
great pain and suffering, and very often
immediate death. Hence the impor-
tance of keeping the kidneys and blood
in a healthy condition, through which
all the impurities of the body must pass.

ADANBURY man carried home four

A DANBURY man carried home four
quarts of soft-shell clans in an over
coat pocket. In the same pocket was
a handful of loose tobacco. The
soft-shell CLAIMS had often heard of
the weed, of course, but this was the
first sample they had seen, and by the
time the man reached home each clam
had nice quid comfortably rolled
under its tongue. The CLAIMS were
opened, and cooked, without the fam
lily noticing the filthy habit they had
got into. They were served for break
fast, and were partly eaten. The
DanbIry man is now convinced that
he must either find something other
than pocket to carry clans home
in, or get wider back door.-Dan-

Marvellous Coincidence.
[From the San Francisco Call. ]

FROM the San francisco GALL
A few years ago there resided at
the Mission San Jose, in Alameda
county, two young ladies, between
whom, although not akin, strong
friendship existed. They were mar
ried at the same time and by the
same service. They then took up
their residences, one at Heywards
and the other at Alvarado. In the
course of time they gave birth to
children on the same day, the birth
of one child preceding that of the
other by two hours. Three weeks
later both children died on the same
day, the eldest dying just two hours
before the other. Three weeks after
the death of the children both mo-
theirs died on the same day.

Fl. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,: Dear Sir-I
have been badly afflicted with Kidney
Complaint for ten years; have suffered
great pain in my back, hips and side,
with great difficulty in passing urine,
which was often, and in very small
quantities, frequently accompanied with
blood and eXcrutiating pain.
| have faithfully tried most of the
popular remedies recommended for my
complaint; have been under the treat
ment of some of the most skillful ply
sicians in Boston, all of whom pro-
nounced nay case incurable. This was
my condition when was advised by a
friend to try the VEGETINE, and could
see the good effects from the first dose /
took, and from that moment | kept on
improving until L was entirely cured,
taking in all, should think, about six
bottles.
1t is indeed valuable medicine and If
I should be afflicted again the same
way, l would give dollar dose, if l

PAIN In THE BACK.

There is no remedy known to medical
science which has proved itself more
valuable in cases of Kidney Complaints
than the VEGETINE. 1t acts directly
upon the secretions, cleanses and puri-
fies the blood, and restores the whole
system to healthy action.
The following extraordinary cure of
great sufferers, who had been given up
by the best physicians as hopeless cases,
will speak for themselves, and should
