The symptom Of worms in the intes.
tinal canal and abdomen are, the parts blOatsd
and swollen, and itching Of the anus. This is
indicative Of small or thread worms, which are
very painful and annoying to both children and
adults. These worms have been expelled in very
large quantities from children who were unable
TO sleep or enjoy life at times, because Of the
great annoyance caused by the worms. The
Sweet Worm Powders never fail to help or perma.

A TRAGEDY IN WILLIAMsPoRT.--We
clip the following from the williamsport BaRstia,
OF Thursday last On Saturday evening last, be-
tween 5 and O'Clock, a drinking saloon on the
northwest corner Of Walnut and Gilmer streets
witnessed bloody sccne--that Of disemboweling
man with knife in the hands Of a woman.
Henry Turley, better known as Doc " Turley, a
young man not over "a years Of age, was the VIC
tim. wha, brought about the murderous work is,
as yet, known only to a certain few, judging from
tho various versions given Of the affair. One
story is to the effect that Thomas Bridgeland,
proprietor Of the saloon, undertook to eject two
women FAMED McLain and AIDE, from his house,
and that, not being able to accomplish this task,
Doe (" Turley, who with several others was en-
gagged In railing for turkeys at the time, went to
the assistance of Bridgeand, and the women
were turned out into the street that they did
not remain there long before 70. entering the sa-
loon, when Doc" Turley took hold Of Mrs. Ade,
to eject her again, when she Immediately went to
work at slashing him furiously with knife, Civ
ing a cut Of about an inch In length ut the lower
part of the abdomen, causing about handful Of
intestines to protrude also cut in the back
near the spinal column, and another cut on one
Of bis hips. To give an idea Of the desperate
character Of the encounter, Il may be mentioned
that there we're some seven or cigh, rents from
he knife In Turoy's Goa, aud vest.
farley was assisted to bis home, where he lies
10 very critical condition. The woman (Adel
has been arrested apd Is now In prison.

AN INSURANCE FREAK.--The Will
Iamsport Bulletin, Of last week, says "Jud <,
Mayer presided while bill in equity, in the case
OF James Gamble against the Charter Oak Life
Insurance Company, was read by II. II. cummn
attorney. The bill recites that Judge Gamble
was induced, 10 1865, to take out policy Of In
surance for $4,000 with this company, on the
with-proGis plan. Under this plan the annual
premium was to bo $3.50. less thirty per cent. an-
nually, and less sixty per cent. iri.ennially. II
was so stated by the agent and also in the printed
hook of the company. Everything proceeded sc.
ccrding to agreement until 1873, when the com
pany demanded $3.50, the entire amount Of the
premium. which the Judge paid under protest
and payments after tha, larger than originally
agreed upon we're made under protest. In all, up
to this time, the Judge has paid s7,4OL2s. An
other payment was due on the 18th inst. The
company claims 1000.
Judge Gamble, as orator, prays that the con
tract or policy shall be resoinded that the com
psny shall repay the sums paid, with interest
that the company shall be restrained by an in
junction from claiming or collecting any sums Of
money under such contract, or from declaring |,
void. He reeites that be believes the company
bankrupt that it has not kept Its agreement and
does not intend to do so.
"Judge Mayer took the papers, granted pre-
lmnary injunction as prayed for, took bond Of
$1,000, and Fixed Saturday, December 10Th, as the
day for hearing arguments on the bill"
