A VILE DENTIST.


Last Monday a young lady. member
Of one 0f the leading families in Cam
bridge, appeared before = well known
magistrate of that place and gave par

such cpadit.ons b.iag agreed ~. our
reporter pe0c.led the following facts .
Miss A.. after suffering for four or
FIVE days from most SEVERE attack Of
tooth-ache. determined upon having the
decavei molar extracted. With that
intention she proceeded - the office Of
a fashionable dentist by the way, II

present occasion she took q species of
delight il arraying herself in most
gorgeous manuer Her most valuable
diamonds were worn, aud all that art
and wealth could DO to adorn her per.
son Was done for the occasion A
thought Of coming disaster never fit
ted across her mind, or that fate, more
To be dreaded than death, which lay
only one short hour IN the future. She
entered the -- street horse car,
and in less than one half-hour was
landed at the dentists door. On enter
ing and being seated, she stated the
object Of her visit, but he, look
ing at his love. ma'chless in her bauty.
foolishly renewed his suit. She frowu
ingly demanded him To desist. and he.
apparently acquie-cing. prepared for
the removal of the troublesome tooth.
Placing silk napkin around her throat
and over her shoulders, he gave the
lady a glass of water 10 drink. She
thought it tasted bitter, but drank it
nevertheless. 4 handkerchief. prob
ably saturated with chlorotorm. she re-
membcred, WAS then placed over her
mouth, aud then memory failed. and
time became blank Then she woke
from her state Of s,upor. She had a
racking pain in the forehead. and q
glance at the clock in the apartment
showed her that she had been two hours
IN the place. Starting mp with alarm
she found herself so weak she could not
stand, Becoming conscious of the fear
tul outrage that had been pepetrated
upon her. and discovering also that the
villain had taken her jewelry and gold
watch. all valued at over $1,000, she
grew almost PROSTATE with alarm. The
dentist was living alone i'll the place,
and when the young lady called for AS
sistanoe her voice met no listening ear.
She final. y managed 10 make her way
home, and informed her family of the
outrage Her brothers. armed with re-
volvess. proceeded at once to the den
list y residence, but no trace of him
could be found there or in the neigh
borhood A warrant WAS issued for his
apprehension, and if captured the
chances are that he will have short
shriit. instead of u legal investigation

We haven't much faith in camphor as pre-
ventve of destruction by moths, On the con-
trary we have a firm belief that moths like the
drug and get fat ON it, A couple of years ago we
packed away an overcoa fairly filled with cam
phor, and tied up in heavy paper sack. When
cold weather set in we examined that coat and
found that the moths had been wearing it all
summer, and found too that there was per-
ceptible diminution in the quantity Of can'phor.
Since then We haven't advised any body to pack
their goods in camphor, except in instances
where we didn't like the people and wished to
see them travelling about in winter with their
clothes full of holes.

WIDELY APPLICABLE REMEDY.-Few
remedies are applicable to such a wide range
of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
and this not because it has special properties
adapted to the cure of each-such pretence
would lie manifestly absurd-but on account
of its wonderfully improving effect upon the
general tone of the system, and its altera-
tive action upon the organs of autrition, Sc
cretion and discharge. Besides its well
known properties as a remedy for intermt-
tent and remittent ievers, dyspepsia, consti-
patton, torpidity of the liver, general debil-
ity, urinary and uterine difficulties, it inva-
riably proves to be highly serviceable in
overcoming anGmia, hypOchondria, rheuma-
tism, insomnia, and many other disorders
aud disabilities originating in poverty or i'm
