CATARRH.

CATARRH.
Had Catarrh ten years, Dropping
in the Throat, Bad Cough, and
Asthma so bad as to be obliged
to take a remedy for it at
night before being able to
sleep. Cured by three
bottles of
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE.
Gentlemen,-My case is briefly as follows: have
had Catarrh for ten years. each year with increasing
severity For nine years had not breathed through
one nostril had droppings in the throat, very
bad cough asthma SO bad as to be obliged to take
remedy for at night before being able to lie down
and Sleep and constant dull pain in my head. My
head was at times so full of catarrhal matter to
inure my sense of hearing and compel me to get up
several times in night to clear it and my throat be-
fore could sleep. Every one of these distressing
symptoms has disappeared under the use of not
quite three bottles of SANFoRD's RADICTL CURF.
My bearing is fully restored. l have no asthmatc
symptoms, no cough, no dropping in the throat, no
headache, and in every way better than have been
for years. could feel the effects of the CURE my
appetite, on my Kidneys and in fact every part Of
my system. What has been done in my case is
wholly the effect of the RADICAL CURE.

Columbus, Ohio, has been Mortified by
he discovery of a barrel of human remains
lried in the east graveyard. Some night
perators were seen at work there recently,
but not much was thought of that till an
|upeasant and powerful odor was found
emanate from newly made mound :.
The discoverer and policeman proceeded
investigate the case, their discoveries
'ciny thus reported by the Columbus "Dis-
patch of yesterday:
The barrel had been deposited In a hole
about sixteen or eighteen inches in depth,
making the upper surface of the barrel on
level with the surface of the ground. The
dirt removed from the excavation was
placed over the barrel in the shape OF a
grave
Both men, this morning, were driven
from the spot for awhile by the odor that
aros" FROM the barrel. They finally sue
reeded in making closer examination OF
Il" contents of the barrel. Among the
mas was found the bowels of q man
wrapped in tissue paper. Another piece
"a1 What appeared TO be the chin of man,
winch w was covered with gray Whiskers.
The bowels of three or four other bodies
were exbumed, including part of the right
sNie OF woman. A human liver was
,urned ont. The barrel was headed up at
10th ends. The police notified Coroner
hhagan, who went out to the graveyard at
IN to make further inquiry about the
iha',er, The general supposition Is that
thc barrel contains refuse portions of sub
lec's that have answered the purposes OF
science upon the disscecting-table.
Later developments indicated that the re
mans were those Of perhaps dozen bodies
'le bones of which were used, It is sup
posed, for skeletons.

Tramps i'm the West.

date of July l:
~ don't know how you folks down East
are fixed for tramps, but out here we arc
entirely overrun.
"Yesterday a west-bound freight train on
the Toledo, Wabash & Western Railway
was bounced at Chaplin Station by about loO
of these gentry. The train crew persuaded
them out of the caboose, and they then got
on ton of the train and commenced throw
inp coal at the train men. A shot gun was
procured and leveled at them, but falled 10
20 off, when oae of the tramps drew re-
yolver and shot the brakesman VINO had the
gun. wounding him slightly in the leg.
"After this they captured train on tne

"Tbe day before, a lot of them captured a
train at Roodhouse on Chicago q AlIoh
Railroad and forced the conductor to take
them up to Jacksonville. j..
at ia reported that before they took this
train they appropriated lot OF boots anu
shoes to their own use from country
store. o f,r
eft ia not an uncommon occurrence lor
nassenoer conductors to have to put OIL SIX

during one trip, and freight men are con.
tinuaily bothered by these persons, VINO no'

was carrying It toward his mothers house,
1t turned and bit him on the thumb, tearing
cash about an inch long, and then drop
ped to the ground. The wound bled copi-
ously, and the thumb began to swell like .

was tied tightly around the thumb at once,
and DR.. Christian was summoned. The
young man suffered much pain, and was at
once heavily dosed with whisky. He was
kept unconscious with liquor all day on
On Monday he revived, and seemed to i'm.
prove until Thursday, when he showed
signs of much fever. He has been confined

on his thumb for three days, and then the

being go fearfully swe]led. Upto that
time the arm had not swelled much, but as
sooE as the string was removed the swelling
extended to the shoulder, and the skin was

was about two and half feet long.
Jacob Martin, blacksmith, saw black

Sydney RigdOIl.
[ From the p Pittsburgh Leader.

From the Pittsburgh LEADER
Sidney Rigdon died at Friendship, ALE
pheny county, N. Y, on last Friday, in the
eighty fourth year OF his age.
The deceased was a peculiar individual.
He was born in this county. AS he grew
to manhood's estate he entered the minis
try, and for time was pastor of the First
Baptist Church, corner Of Third avenue and
Grant street. Becoming dissatisfied with
the faith, he, with Alexander Campbell
ard Mr.. Church, of this city, formed the
0Campbellite" or "Christian" church,
whcih at one time had considerable num-
ber of adherents in this section of the coun-
try.
Some time after he went to OhiQ and Or
ganized congregation according to the
new faith. While there he met Elder Par
lev Pratt, of the Mormon Church, In de-
bate, and becoming wersted Joined the
Mormons and took his congregation with
him. They went to Courtland, Ohio, where
Mormon congregation was organized.
From that they were forced to 60 to West
ern Missouri, and finally by persecution
were driven to Nauvoo. On the day ap-
pointed for choosing Smiths successor, Mr..
Rigdon told the congregation that il hewas
elected he would not only prohibit poly
gamy, but expel every one who practiced it:
He then asked the audience If they desired
to have him for President that each man
hold up his right hand. Not hand was
raised. Brigham Young then told the au,
dence that he was Smiths successor, and
if elected would carry out his ideas. lie
| was unanimously elected.
Mr.. Rigdon again returned to Pittsburgh
and tried to establish church. Not sue
ceedipg he moved to the Genessee valley
N. Y, and there remained up to the time
of his death, a period of about thirty years
After abandoning his religious ventures h'
devoted himself to the study OF geology
and supported himself in a great measur;

A wedding in balloon and bridal trip
among the clouds was one of the attractions

description of the bride and her toilet Il
from the indianapolis "Sentinel :" Miss
Lottie Scott, the bride, Is an attractive bru.
nette of 18 or 20. She was sensibly dressed
in some sort of gray stuff, with modest
straw hat and the inevitable white gloves
She gave up the idea of more elaborate at.
tire at the suggestion Of the aeronaut. She
was cool and selfpossessed going up smiling
1t is worth noting that this couple sometime
ago saw marriage in q balloon, and have
ever since longed for similar elimination
to their cherished hope.
