An Absconding Merchant.

WALTON, n. Y. Jan. 1S,-The vii.
lage of Deans Corners. in Delaware
county, is greatly excited over certain
developments that have been made in
the case of an absconding merchant of
that place. 1t seems that on the night
OF last Thanksgiving, Philetus Elmen-
DORIS store was destroyed by fire.
Elmendorf was a prominent business
man of the place, and at once engaged
extensively in operating in butter.
He contracted for the product of sew.
eral leading diaries, and purchased the
butter off all individual farmers who
offered any for sale. His notes are
held by these parties for from between
SIC, 600 and $4,000. Two weeks ago
he disappeared from the village, and
has not been seen or heard from since
1t has also transpired that he received
about $4,000 insurance on his store.
This has led to the investigation of
circumstances connected with the fire,
and conclusive evidence has been
secured that the store was set on fire.
a we'll known character in the locality
has been arrested on suspicion of being
the lncendiary employed by Elmen-
dorf to burn the building.

"CARPET-BAGGER.,

The following letter in illustration
of the carpet-bag trouble comes from

Suit has been brought in Saa Fran.
cisco by Morris Schloss against Esther
Schloss, which the Bulletin thus ex.
plains: "The plaintiff AYERS that the
defendant is his niece; that in 1856 he
paid her expenses from Europe to
California and married her. Both are
of the Jewish faith, and while the
canons of their church recognize as
legal marriage between uncle and
niece, the laws of California declare
such marriage void, fact of which
they were ignorant. About ten years
ago the plaintiff failed in business,
went into voluntary bankruptcy, and
received his discharge about two wears
ago. After he had filed his petition in
bankruptcy, and before his discharge
he had accumulated about $2SOO, In
December 1865. the defendant became
sole trader, and plaintiff furnished
means to carry on business for their
mutual benefit. The plaintiff further
says that he gave his entire time and
energy to the business and their accu-

share. He asks for dissolution of the
co partnership, for an accounting, and
for the appointment of receiver"

Represent Iowa.

Senator George G. Wright. of Iowa,
whose term expires ON March 4, 1877,
having declined a reelection, there
was quite a struggle over tie approach
ing vacancy, and even that fossilized
partisan, the Rev. James Harlan, en-
tered into the competition, as did also
General w. w. Belknap, the Secretary
of War, and George w. McCrary, a
prominent member of the lever branch
of Congress. But when it came to
the caucus, on the 18th inst. Mr.. Har-
Ian quietly dropped out of sight, and
the vote stood: For Samuel j. Kirk
wood, IS; for Hiram Price, 25; for
George W. McCrAry, IA; and for w.
W. Belknap, IL. The discontinue of
Secretary Belknap was especially no.
ticeable, as he was on the ground di.

in Hartford county, Maryland, on De-

close of 1858 he served as Governor of
Iowa, and acquired considerable dis
tinction as one of the "war Governors,
his administration being characterized
by great energy, especially in the fit

From January, 1856, TO March, 1877,
he was a member of the United States

A WONDERFUL RESTORATION TO
HEALTH.
The Remarkable Story Told by d De-
troit Clergyman.

The Remarkable Story Told by De-
troit Clergyman.
DETROIT, Mich, JAN, ia letter
is published to day from 4. s. Warren,
pastor OF one of the Methodist Church
es of this city, which makes these re-
markable statements: Mrs. Williams,
Of this city, daughter of j. C. H.
Woodhul, is 80 years old ,and has been
q widow about eleven years. For Hf-
teen years she has been out of health,
for nine years under doctors care, for
the last ten months she has not been
able to walk, and for SIX months she
could not sit up in bed. So rapidly
was she sinking that her friends deem
ed her speedy demise certain, and for
three days before the event we record,
she suffered acute pain, which her
emaciated body seemed scarcely able
to bear. On Monday, the 18th OF De-
cember, she felt impressed to pray for
her immediate recovery, and she, in
faith, asked of God the gift of health.
She realized at once that her bodily
ailments, which were many, were Civ
ing way, and in few moments she
was able to sit up and read her Bible.
Her whole system seemed to undergo
change. Her appetite immediately
returned. Next morning she dressed
herself; on the Thursday evening fol-
lowing, was at prayer meeting, and
on the Sabbath was at church three
times, and ever since has seemed en-
tirely well. She walks and rides about
the city and is able to attend to her
household duties. From long illness,
through emaciation, she has become
very weak, but she has been gaining
in strength every day. Her physician,
DIR. Webber, member of the Central
Methodist Episcopal Church, says that
her recovery cannot be attributed to
human skill. but to the prayer of
faith.

RUBBER 4ND CAPCINE.

There is scarcely branch OF human indus
try In which India Rubber has not in some
and used. but few are aware Of its medicinal
virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that it is natur-
al reservoir of electricity, cont lining more
than any known su stance or compound.
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
matism that were invunerable o drugs.
IL has so been discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
aspeciilc for Pulmonary co nplaints and cures
many forms of Consumption and Lung dis
eases. Combined with Capcine it is unparal-
leled as u Pain Relievcr, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted 1t ON account of its great healing
properties.
The most effectual way of using the article
is in the form OF Il perforated plaster. The
extensive use of ordinary Perfoi ated or Por.
ons Plasters. is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the or
dmary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowly-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pam or TO effect a cure.
A celebrated Physician OF New York, who
has long made the medical properties of Rub
ber study has succeeded in making great
Improvement in Porous Plaster by introduce
ing Capcine, which Overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in a
few moments or hours, that which 1t former
ly required days or weeks
Capcine ls the most valuable ingredient
ever used as an external remedy. ItOperates
with astonishing vigor and relieves pain I'M
mediately. Its curative properties have be-
come so famous that an enterprising firm in
New York took it in hand, and by bringing
Capcine Plaster to the attention OF Physi-
clans, have met with unprecedented success.
