The case Of q Young colorc1 girl i,
mentioned in the \. Y. papers who 4
few years ago drank wafer from a
running stream and has ever since i'm.
agined herself to be poesossel bv
snakes. There are plenty Of men
who have freely drank the Opposite
Of water and soon enjoyed more than
they desired the imaginary compan-
ionship Of the variants. Inst week
the poor girl died and an examination
revealed Tie fact inucaI OF the snake
possession sac had CONSUMPTION Of the
lungs, consumption Of the bowels,
Bright's disease Of the kiinovs, and
dyspepsia, al Of them in their very
worst forms. Her lungs were eaten
away, and her intcstines were fairly
ragged. A truly extraordinary case.
The pbysoions accounted for the Pc
culi,r movements Of the abdomen
which she thought snakes as ppristal
tic motions Of til. bowels, common
enough in cases Of consumption o.
the bowels bnt never before known in
an equal degree to this.

TERRIFIC STORM.

The greatest wind and rain storm
known for years prevailed over a
large space OF country with heavy
rain falling steadily for four days up
to Monday evening last. Accounts
of freshets and overtlows Of rivers,
come in from all quarters. Along the
Potomac the bridges at llarpers Fer
~, aud at Shombergers. with the c..
V. R. r. b.ilge at Williamsport, have
either boon entirely swept away or
extensively damaged. Reports from
all parts Of Maryland and Virginia
speak Of the extraordinary rise of the
rivers and sweeping off of property.
The Richmond and Lynchburg papers
are full Of details Of bridges carried
oil, and rail roads and tclegrapAic
lines Temporarily stopped. The storm
extended south through North Caro-.
lima with most destructive effect. The
damage in Richmond is estimated al
between one and two millions. Great
alarm prevailed among people living
on the streams but 20 FIR no loss Of
life is reported
Fierce as was the storm on land it
ragged more Gerce! y on the coast and
verv disastrous reports arc received
Of destruction to shipping, An aw-
full catastrophe is reported from Nor
folk. The g. S. steamer Huron, with
a crew Of one hundred and thirty-fon.'
souls, left Fort Monroe on Friday for
n cruise to the Vest Indies. On Sat
urlay she went ashore on the North
Carolina coast and was dashed to
pieces. Only thirty Of her crew are
known to have been saved. The
storm is described rs ragingNlong the
coast, the wind blowing at thp:a te Of
seventy miles an hour. Manv other
disasters will probably be revosted.

TOO CHEAP.

Necessity is the mother Of inven-
ton and hunger is the best sauce, are
we'll known mayims. SO hard times
brings about many plans for cheap
living. 1t is the uppermost subject of
discussion now in the cities az winter
comes on hand in hand with poverty.
A popular restaurant in New York
has reduced the thing to so fine a
point as to advertise a good square
meal for five cents, and a meal to sat
isfy the most ravenous appetite for
ten cents. The bill Of fare ut this
price is a marvel. A small cup of
tea or coffee with sugar and milk is
sold for one cent cup Of t1e ordi-
nary size, two cents; bread and but
ter, one cen soup, one cent slice OF
C I'm beef, one cent; a baked or boiled
potatoe, one cent cabbage, one cant;
baked beans, one cent boiled or fried
mEsh, one cent; oatmeal, one cent
boiled rice, one cent quarter Of a pic
three cents.
This enticing banquet soon attract
ed newsboy, who after rapidly 60
ing through the bill of fare Lad to b
beaten on the back to get his throa
clear again and recover consciousness
But such square meal certainly
solves the problem of cheap living.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BosCHER's GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recon-
mend it to the poor dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 40
900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine as the
GERMAN SYRUP cannot be too widely
known. Ask your Druggist about it.

- The st. Adams advertiser, which
has not had anything in it worth men,
tioning since it lost its young but able
editor, Mr.. Royce, gave its readers a
"stick" full or two of original reading
in its Tuesdays issue Of last week, all
devoted to Bro. Clark of the Messenger,
because he had so belittled himself as
to club with foreign outside paper.
We have heard great deal about
this subject lately, and, if you please,
we will take the floor a moment.
There may be a few state papers that
can consistently complain of such pa
pers. The St. Adams Messenger, the
argus, the Rutland Herald and posi-
bly, one or two other papers, are made
up largely of original, rewritten and
condensed matter. The cry that we
refer to, however, comes principally
from a number of struggling usurpers,
that are seldom guilty Of giving their
readers anything, but the sloshiest kind
Of scissor-slashed sensation and nom
sense. There is one paper, especially,
that putfs out about like football
after hard warn, on the fact of its
home-print outside, that has not had
an original sentence on its outside for
six months. They clip from New York
and Boston papers and magazines,
and give their readers about the same
reading matter that is found on a
foreign outside, only not so much of il,
nor so we'll selected. The reader il
supposed to be highly benefited by
the fact that the type was set up only
twenty instead of a hundred miles
from home. The advertiser heads its
article Significant" and its design is
10 -coVertiy hlnt That Bro. Clark is on
the ''road to ruin," about ready to
"bust," &c. Does the ''Pillayvink.
tum" that now runs the advertiser
suppose that the public have forgotten
that not four months ago an employee
Of the Adcertiser company had to sue
for his back pay, that had amounted
to some 100000, and that he was dis
charged because he had the impudence
to expect that they would pay him +?
And docs it suppose the public SO dull
as not to know that the advertiser has
been parasite on the V. C. r. r.
company since it started, unable to
stand alone. Hum! Hum!! Wish
we could do the subject Justice As

1t seems that letters to Adams &
Co., found their way into the post-Ofiice
box of S. A. Adams, proprietor Of the
Swanton Bookstore, proprietor and
editor of the Champlain Herald, also
former proprietor of the ''Home Print
ing Office" Swanton. The result of
these advertisements and the business
this "Adams & Co.." have carried on
SO boldly is the flooding, so to speak,
Of this State, Northern New York and
Canada with the very vilest Of obscene
pictures and books. The great varie-
ty of this stuff which is now floating
about this part of the country is direct
" traceable to this "Adams & Co."
Not only has the business been retail,
but q wholesale trade has been carried
on and ''liberal discount" offered to
''reliable agents"-boys in most cases,
wherever they could be found. The
firm had carried on so large trade
in Canada that the attention of the
authorities has been called to it. A
well-known Member of Parliament re-
marked, not long since, that "Adams
& Co., Of Swanton, 'cere flooding
their country ,cith the uery scorst class
Of obscene matter" He expressed
surprise "that if there was a law in
Vermont or the United States, a stop
could not be put to the work ]" The
alarming prevalence of these pictures
and books has become such that the
attention of our clergymen has been
called to it. One week ago last Sab
bath the Rev. VIM. II. Hyde, of
Swanton, preached ringing sermon,
the theme of which was, "Obscene
Publications"
In commenting the Courier says:
"There now lies in our county Jail a
boy convicted of an awful murder. 1t
was not anger that lead him to kill
Mrs. Butler, it was not liquor that ex-
cited him on, but it was his passions
and we doubt not that little inquiry
would show this young murderer was
in the habit of pouring over this OBJ
scene matter of which We speak. 1t
is possible he had obtained some from
this very Adams & Co."

Kars was captured one week ago
last Saturday night by about $4,000
Russians, who climbed the steep rocks,
ramparts and walls, and stormed an
equal number Of desperately fighting
Turks in a headlong fight over their
bitches and parapets, compelling them
to die or surrender.
The New York Graphic says the fol-
lowing is the substance of a private
cable despatch sent in cipher and re-
ceived in that city by prominent
banking house:
Kars has fallen; Erzeroum will fol-
low. Osman-Pasha will very soon be
captured at Plevna with his entire
army. The Russians are putting forth
extraordinary efforts so as to finish up
the war before the close of the year.
They dare not permit the campaign
to 60 over until Spring, for Germany,
Austria and England are in union as
to the necessity of stopping the war
before the Turks are entirely over
whelmed.

A pretty lively time occurred in the
Senate last Thursday, when carpet
baggers Connover and Patterson vo-
ted with the Democrats in the case OF
NJ. c. Butler for senator from South
Carolina. The control Of the Senate
seemed about to go into the hands OF
the Democrats, but Edmunds showed
his usual GOODNESS and after hard
fight, succeeded in securing a postpone
ment until Monday. Itlooks now very
.auch as though the policy of our
goody, goOdy President was about to
transfer the Senate into the hands OF
the Democrats, with such men as NJ
c. Butler of negro-massacre notorety
for majority. We like Mr.. Hayes
We want to believe in the administra-
ton, hut as DR.. Lord said of Beecher

mine a hideous doubt" as TO its adj

We have received circular from a
certain paper, that shall be namleess,
which proposes to us to publish edito-
rally an item beginning: - Among
the solid and established papers that
have lived through the hard times, we
are glad to see the old-time and favor
lite this popular paper de-
serves to be in every home, &C." We
would not have the paper in our fami-
iy OR any condition. Sensational lit
erature and vicious advertisements
form the most of its contents. There
is a little sprinkling of sense, and a
terrible flourish against humbugs. 1t
is. on the whole, vicious fraud, and
vet there have been fools enough found
to keep it hourishing for l6 years. To
name it would be only to advertise it,
and many would undoubtedly send at
once-so intensely do some people de-
light to be humbuged.

The Golden Rule for Thanksgiving
week will contain the first of Mr..
Murray's new series of Adirondack
Tales: "John Norton's Thanksgiving
Party" The current number contains
an announcement of reduction from
$3.50 to $l.75 in price to all subscrib-
ers before January LIST. Mr.. Murray's
idea is to abolish agents, avoid premi-
ums, and do away with special clubs
making the paper its own canvasser
and premium, and giving all subscrib-
ers the equal benefits of club rates at
the lowest price-which is now extra
ordinarily cheap for a paper of this
character. 1t is decidedly new de-
parture in religious and literary jour-
nalism, and the result will be watched
with interest.
