The Hon Carl Schurz, who has been nornl-

Hayes, said in speech which he delivered IN
Cincinnati on the s1st Of August, 1876:
Let it not be said that Gov. Hayes was fearless

The Recent Cases of
POISONING BY Sewer GAS


At Wabash-av. and Jackson-st. were
merely aggravated cases Of a ma
lignant form Of disease which exists
in almost all houses connected with
g street sewer, and is frequently an
unsupported source Of sickness.
It is time that the public should
understand that traps in waste pipea
are no safeguard against sewer gas
UNDER PRESSURE.
THE HOUSE DRAINS and SOIL.
PIPES MUST BE VENTILATED.
The arrangement adopted in the
Durham System Of Construction for
Dwelling Houses is the only safe
one. It will be illustrated in ssThe

Singular but Correct.-A setting hen,
belonging to lady of tits place, having
left her nest of fourteen eggs at the end
of two weeks, and for some cause or
other not returning for day or SO, the
owner concluded to try an experiment.
Taking the eggs which, after dipping in
warm water and carefully wrapping in
woolen cloths, were placed under warm
stove, she awaited results. At the ex-
piration of five days, the experiment
proved successful; fourteen young chicks
making their appearance from under
meath that stove, looking for their
mother. They are in a healthy condi-
ton, and do not seem to be in the least
concerned by what means they were
saved from n.-FrdnkIin Re

We have great reformed whiskey drinker
in this township. We think he was the cham
pion drinker. He stated on debate at the
Blain Excelsior Literary Society,"" on last
Wednesday evening, that he drank whiskey
for 10 years, and he drank half gallon every
day during that time. We made calculation
and allowing 81 gallons to the barrel, we find
that John drank a lettle over 881S barrels dur
ing that time, and he still lives. We think
that John should have the barlow.

2 Fisherman's Luck has its changes and
variations too. On Saturday last Hon.
j. A. Magee and friend went fishing
TO the Millerstown dam, and had unusu-
al luck; not in what they caught but in
what they lost. They had tied their
horse to tree in the woods, after taking
him from the carriage. When they were
ready to start home, the vehicle and part
of the halter was there, but no horse.
After vain search for the animal they
walked to Newport and hired convey
ance for home. The horse was found
the next day at farm house about a
quarter of a mile from where he had
been left.

A Woman Inoendlary. - The Bedford
County Press says: On Tuesday night
of last week, a double log barn with
shed attached, the property of William
Iams, was destroyed by fire, together
with two head of horses and lot of
grain, hay and harness. 1t Is stated
that forsome time bitter feud existed
between Williams Iams and his brother
cion fell upon Hiram, but investigating
the matter 1t was ascertained that he
was not at home on the night of the
fire. Later in the day foot print was
discovered In the immediate neighbor-
hood where the barn stood and shortly
afterward, other tracks were discovered
which it is claimed led to and from
Hiram's house. The tracks showed
that the boots OF shoes had no heels or
half soles. Hiram's wife was next sus-
pected. Her house was examined and
it is claimed that her shoes looked as
though the heels and soles were freshly
torn off. 1t is also said that the heels
and half soles were found in her garden.
Upon this circumstantial evidence she
was arrested and committed to the Bed
ford Jail. Her husband and child
about one year of age accompanied her
to the County Seat. She as matter of
course, denies the charge and gave bail
in $500 for her appearance at the Quar-
ter Sessions.

General Jackson, when in the
Creek campaign, once ordered a
mutinous regiment to return to
duty, drawing his sword upon the
colonel and swearing that he would
run him through if he did not obey.
The colonel, as brave as the gene
raj, also drew his sword, and the
men lifted their pieces ready to
shoot the general if he attacked the
colonel. But the wrathful glance
Of Jackson's eye conquered his
subordinate, who finally let his
sword drop from his neryeless hand.
jackson instantly picked it up and.
politely handed it to him with the
remark (; Colonel, you are too
brave a man to be deprived of your
sword. Take it and go back to
your duty" The colonel, COM
pletely subdued by the generals
magnanimity, ordered his command
back at once, and returned to camp.
