Cincinnati Times, August Is.
There was very peculiar case In
Judge Wilson's Court this morning,
both in the character of the Offenders
and the oddness OF their misdemeanor.
Along about the hour of ii o'clock Prose
cutor Murphy called out "Thomas n
quet, Jas. Alfont, Ira Goblin. Theo.
Iie.ert," and tour intantlle prisoners
stood up before the bar OF justice, and
eight little fists went up into eight little
eyes and nearly rubbed them out. wh'le
salty tears, as large as fall peas, r"iad
down into four little mouths.
"Officer Bennecaste, take the stahof
said the Prosecutor, and then turning TO
the four boys, asked: Are you guilty or
not guilty."
Please, sir, we dunno" sobbed the
juvenile quartet.
Then the yigllsnt officer went on to
state how he had caught the boys drop
ping powders into farmer Bragenbush's
well, out on the Colerain pike, that the
ial mer was complaining about his we'll
being filled up, and having caught the
misCreants in the very act he had brought

WIS then told TO SIT down and the Judge
took the case in hand.
Now, my little men" queried His
Honor, and there was sunny smile IL
Illuminating his handsome face, "tell me
why you threw those stones in that mans
we'll?
The four little boys turned their tear
believed eyes upon each other, and then
rs If by common consent OF the other
three little Ira Goblin, the eldest OF the
young culprlts, answered III quavering
voice:

and them other boys dropped 'em down
the well We got tired sliding down
u sosped board, and we only dropped the
stones down cause we liked to hear EN-

little eyes again shed tears OF sorrow. In
his kindness of heart, His Honor let them

FOR THB CURE OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases pres
sure; sometimes the pain is the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are Costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
There isgenera,ly considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with apain-
full sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofwearineSs and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exerCiscwould be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several Of the above symp-
.oms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

This matter of laying claim to large
portions of valuable city property is be.
coming an epidemic. The success Of Mrs
Myra CLARK Gaines in securing a title tC
millions of dollars worth of real estate in

Henry Becker are taking steps for the
possession Of $4,000. 900 worth of prop
erty IN Philadelphia and elsew here, which
will probably be a long conte--. l. is also
