To all, particularly lnvalids, spring
is a trying season. Indications OF sickness
should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to be-
come constipated, and the system to remain
in = disordered condition, until the disorder
vention is worth pound Of cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent-headache, indigestion, dis
ordered liver, want Of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no
remedy so harmless and decisive in its action.
It at once strikes at the root of the disease
and produces healthy tone to the system.
People never need suffer from any disease
arising from disordered condition of the
liver if they would take this excellent medi-
cine when they feel the first indications of the
malady. Families leaving home for the sum-
mer months should take three or four boxes
Of these pills with them. They have an al
most instantaneous effect. They will relieve
the patient OF headache in one or two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of, sur
rounding bile, and will effectually prevent a
bilious attack. They are sold by all drug
gists.

A Toast.

Two important discoveries The
discovery of America by Columbus, and Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery; the one
opening up to mankind a new continent, the
other fountain of health, which is indispen-
sable to the full enjoyment of life and its
blessings. In response to the above senti-
ment come the unsolicited attestations OF
tens of thousands of grateful patients, who
have been relieved of chronic ailments
through its instrumentality. Those voices
are limited to no one locality, but from every
city, village and hamlet in our broad domain,
as we'll as from other climes, and in the
strange utterances offoreign tongues, like the
confused murmur of many waters, come un-
teigned and hearty concentrations. 1t is, III
combination with the Pleasant Purgative Pei
let's, the great depurator Of the age. Under
it's benign action eruptions disappear, exces.
sive waste is checked, the nerves are strength
ened, and health, long banished from the
system, resumes her reign and re-establishes
her roseate throne upon the cheek. All who
have'thoroughly tested it's virtues in the dis
eases for which it is recommended unite in
pronouncing it the great Medical Discovery
Of the age.

Remarkable Disappearance OF Geor.

FROM me GJQ0Sfp Ga IiNCIl
A third lake in Lowndes county has been
emptled OF Its waters by subterraneau pas
sages during the last six months What is
The matter? The Times has several times
alluded to the fact that Lowndes county
had Within It's borders numbers of lakes
from ten 10 five hundred (and several ne
yoi d thousand) acres in size, aud can IL be
That these lakes are connected with a grand
SLCerLl ouhd water course? III seems so. In
St piemher last one dried up, or run OF aud
left bushels upon bushels OF fish I'm holes of
water about upon the bottom of the lake In
January another, about five miles from this
ala The same thing, and now Grassy Pond.
y Iake covering about five hundred acres
just between the two above ment ionei has
ielt Its millions OF fishes out OF the water
ABOUT three weeks ago IL was reported that
Tie waters Of this lake were sinking below
low water mark, and every day or two we
would hear that ii was still going down.
Last Friday report spread all over the
country like wildfire that Grassy Pond was
low enough 10 rake the fish out with nets
and by sundown more than one hundred
people had collected at the place. Some had
ulp nets, some cast neis, and there was one
seine In the party. The first haul with the
seine caught enough trout, jack, Dream and
speckie perch TO make a mess" for every
one present. During that night all the water
disappeared and there were millions of
fish left dead upon dry land. Saturday,
next Day, The planters hitched up their
wagons and hauled load after LOAD aud scat
tered them in their fields for manure: ard
thousand were left at the mercy of buzZards
hogs, and other creatures OF prey. Such
quantities of fish aud such destruction has
never been known in the history of Lo gndes
county. No one ever dreamed that there
was half that quantity of fish IN Grassy
Pond, though Ii was celebrated for its fine
nshing grounds in the spring OF the year.
The other Two lakes above mentioned did

were not caught were saved by the water
returning In a few days from its hidden re-
treat in the bosom of the earth We learn
that Grassy Pond is filling up again, but IL
is too late TO save the finny tribe. These
statements are not al all exaggerated, aud
can be testified 10 by several hundred people
living in this county, though IL is marvellous

A MYSTERIOUS CASE The New York
Sun says more than year ago a man stepped
nom a Fort Lee boat at pier IL, North river,
ard handed slip of paper TO expressman
William Miller, OF 95 Watts st, addressed /,
"Mr. Stockton. CamllltOG, Carl county, Nd,
via Bayard Station" IL want YOU To take
that box" said he, at the same time point
Ing TO box on the wha 4, sand mark IL to
this address aud forward IL immed iately"
The box was taken TO three different express
offlces, but the agents refused To ship it. 1t
was finally left at Milleris express Office. SG
wall street, where IL remained until Satur-
day last, when Mr.. Miller knocked off the
cover, and discovered the hand, arm aud
breast OF woman. The flesh had witnerei
on the bones. The remains had been jamm med
into narrow space, with the arm beat uu-
der the breast. The hand was loug and slen-
der. A two ounce phial labelled "carbolic
acid" lay In the box, and the whole was
wrapped In what was once while muslin.
The mysterious package was taken TO the
morgue. The Herald states that the box was
addressed to Mr.. Stockton, Carrollton, Car
roll county, Nd, via Bayard.
