A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. n. R. STEvENs-Dear Sir: Though a
stranger, l'want to inform you what We egetine
has done for me. ...1 .....
Last Christmas Scrofula ~ ade its appear
anoe in my system--large running ulcers ap.
peaIlng on me, as follows: one on each Of my
arms; one on my thigh, which extended 10
the seat; one on my head, which ate into the
skull bone; one on my left leg, which be-
came 80 bad that two physicians came to am.
putate the limb, though upon consultation
concluded not to do so, as my whole body
was full of scrofula; they deemed it advisable
TO cut the sore, which wac painful beyond
description, and there was q quart Of matt er
run from this one sore
The physicians Mi gave me up to die, and
said they could do no more for me. Both of
my legs were drawn up to my seat, and it was
thought if l did get up again would be q
cripple for life.
When in this condition saw Vegetine I'D.
vertised, and commenced taking it in March,
and followed on with it until had used six
teen bottles; and this morning am going to
plough corn, we'll man. Ali my townsnen
say it is n miracle to sec me round walking
. and working
In conclusion [ will add, when was en-
during such great suffering from that dread
ful disease, scrofula, l prayed to the Lord
above TO take me out Of this world; but as
Vegetine has restored to me the blessings of
health, desire more than ever to live, that |
may be of some ervice TO my fellow~men; and
l know of no be'ter way to aid suffering hu-
manity than to enclose you this statement of
my case, with an earnest hope that YOU will
reply to any communication which [ may re-
ceive therefrom. l am, sir, very respectfully,

The Indian War.

The war with Joseph's band in
Oregon increases. The United States
troops operating against them are
under command of Gen. Howard, who
is in pursuit Of the Indians, and says
he will take no, provisions. The
available forces Of the United States
troops now in that section are too
week to cope successfully with the
willy Indians, and the government at
Washington has instructed Con. Mo
Dowell to raiso two hundred volun-
teers in Oregon and Washington
Territory, with authority to increase
the number to five hundred if he
deems it necessary. 1t is stated that
Joseph's band has lately received con-
siderable accessions, and it is feared
that many otEer reservations of In
dams will join him. The war is
likely to be moro protracted and Sc
we're than that against Sitting Bull q
year or two ago.
