Tho public mind is still fresh with the

rious death of "Themas Addison" the
stranger found dead in bed ct the City
Hotel on last Sunday week. lts sad Sc
qusl is now snfolding itself, and We pub;

from friends of the unfortunate man. Ihe
first throws some little light upon the
cause of his sudden decease, and would
have materially aided the Coroners Jury

MEDIA, Feb. 26, 1877.
Mr., II, YERGER.-The man, John Add
son, said he came from Lancashire, Eng
land, in November. He worked for me
about two weeks, did not seem well, and
took exceedingly large doses of laudanum,
% he thought It would cure him, but
which have no doubt caused his death.
He said he had no relatives living except
an uncle in England. He said he knew

account of him than am able to do, as ne
was an entire stranger to me, and l pitied
him when he solicited work, but he was
really not in condition to work.
Yours, etc., D. A. YEAaER.
The following has been received by US
from personal friend Of the deceased in
Chester:
Chester, February ~, 1877.
Mr.. ED1ToR-Sir, have been five days
hard at work, trying to get at the bottom
of the mystery connected with the death
of the Young man that died at the City
Hotel, last Sunday week, and have found
out, to my sorrow, that he was the com
panion Of my carly childhood day, and that
his father to-day, keeps one Of the larg'
est Saddle Il Harness stores in Oleham,
Lancashire, England. When he first came
here, few months ago, he stopped at tho
. Manufacturers Hotel, in Cherry street
above Third, Philadelphia; and the balance
of his clothes are there now. The elandlady
and him had a little dispute about his
not souaring up, and being man brought
up in coed style, he could not stand it, 80
he lust came down to Chester and stayed
with us till the Saturday he came to Will
mington, and he was found dead on Sun
day, the next day. Now Mr.. Editor, what
kind of English men you have In your
City, am at loss to conceive, to allow
a gentleman's son to lay in a paupers
grave, and one of their own very neigh
bors, for am sure there are some Old"
ham people in your city, am informed on
good grounds, that party named Row.
botham and Barnes had made an arrange
ment with Mr.. Fox to bury the man, but
the st. Georges Society held meeting the
same night, and they annullsd the whole
thing. Now l think an institution Of
that kind ought to close their doors and
let some other nation run it that will not
disgrace the land they were born in. Poor
as am, had known Of it in time I would
have begged the amount from dosr to
door before 1 had tho disgrace. will
write to bis father at once, and think he
will not remain long in Potter's field.

Revive the Dropping Energies.

When the physical energies droop, revive
them with that safest and most active of tonics,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By timely use
of this salutary and agreeable medicine you will
save yourself from positive disease for, be as
sured that the languor and loss of strength and
appetite which troubles you is in fact the pre-
cursor of some nlalady of, perhaps, serious
nature. Appetite, tranquility of the nervous
system, and pristine vigor, will sssuredly bere-
stored if the Bitters are used systematically,
and the alimentary disturbance which in nine
cases out of ten gives rise to debility and nerv-
BUSINESS be entirely removed. Regularity of
the bowels, active hillary secretion, the expul-
sion OF impurities from the blood through the
Kidneys are also among the benefcent effects
of this admirable restorative

"The nineteenth century is the age of nov

have added with equal truth, "and novel I'M

off on us for native refinement, the forms of
devotion for it's essence, and speculation for
science, until we look askance at every new

invariably exclaim, "Prove it !" In brief, Satan
has made himself so omnipresent, that we look
for his cloven foot everywhere-even in bottle

her refractory liver) has said concerning it. At

prescribed dose more carefully, and then pro-

Central Africa.

Those who have attained maturity may
recollect seeing upon maps of Africa a
large blank space In the center, indicat-
ing land unexplored and unknown.
OF late years explorers have pierced it's
mysteries, and ascertained that this
region of great equatorial lakes is one of
the most populous and fertile Of the
earth, and that an immense plateau,
among mountains crowned with eternal
snow, is watered by great streams pro-
ceeding from them, and offers climates of
various degrees of temperature. This
inviting land is, however, the abode of
savages, who are at perpetual war with
each other, and who mutually cause a
destruction of human life computed at
hundreds of thousands year. At least
10000 slaves are also annually captured
there, for use upon the continent, or for
shipment elsewhere. The international
African Association, headed by the King
of the Belgians, desires to commence the
civilization of the country by establish
ing stations for scientific observations
and for the use and protection of travel
ers; and branches Of the association
have been formed in several European
countries.

A Subterranean River.

A subterraneanl lake or river was tapped
by some men who were boring fol
coal at Coe, Iowa, a few days ago.
When they had penetrated seventy feet
they heard heavy, rumbling noise,
which was Immediately followed by a
rush of water, filing the six-inch tube,
which raised the drilling machine,
weighing some 700 pounds, many feet.
On removing the drilling apparatu vol
ume of water was thrown into the ali
twenty feet, and continues to rise seven
or eight feet, when it spreads out into
jets like an artificial fountain. It is es-
timated that it discharges barrel a
minute. The water is pure and cold. A
stone thrown into the tube is hurled
back into the air, as is also rail, when
forced down into it.

The Business Outlook.
reached

If we can bridge over this year, re-
marks contemporary, the future is full
of promise. In all directions we see
causes for rejoicing. We have passed
the worst, and better days are dawning
upon us. Everywhere confidence is TAX
ing the place of doubt, and better feel
ing is manifest in business circles
throughout the length and breadth of
the land.
The New York Herald says "The
country stands at the threshold of a pc
Rod of great prosperity, and it will grow
rich. During the next four years it
would require very extraordinary efforts
to prevent the American people from
making up the losses of the past and
becoming once more the most prosper
Gus and happy nation in the world
At no period in our history as nation
has our foreign trade been SO largely in
our favor as at present, and yet there is
an increasing demand for all the pro-
ducts of our manufactures and our soil.
The Iron Age says: The outlook
for merchant iron is better than it has
been for months. We do not speak at
random, but from actual observation and
information gained from visit to most
Of the prominent markets, both East and
West. In the West, especially, there is
a decidedly better feeling. A large num-
Der of the Pittsburgh mills are refusing
orders unless they can get 2-10c better
than they would take six months ago.
This is not only true of Pittsburgh but
of all parts of the West"
Business is beginning to revive at the
South. The rolling mills and cotton
factories Of Georgia are in operation,
and new ones are in process of construc-
ton. Soon cotton factory In Atlanta
will be completed, and when the power
is burned on the music of 10000 spin
dies will be heard The rolling mills Of
Tennessee, after a death-ike silence OF
years, are again in motion. Looking
ahead we see the bow Of hope spanning
the heavens, and away beyond we see
the dawning of the most prosperous pc
riod we have ever had.

Gibbet Incidents.

ly hanged at Marion, Ark, in the pres
ence OF 1000 spectators, remarked, just
before the black cap was pulled down
over his face, " Whisky did the work for
me -
Stephen Brinkley. the Georgia mu +
derer, who was put to death a short time
ago, was asked if he had the thing to do
over again would be kill his wife. " N OF
in Georgia" said the sagacious man,
with grim humor. At another time he
requested thata post-mortem examination
should be made of his head, and that
after it had been cleansed the skull
should be presented to his lawyer.
There was q crowd under the gallows
when he was swung into eternity.
" Good-by, Stephen shouted one of
the spectators, and then the crowd
laughed.
Three men were recently hanged to-
gether near New Orleans. While the
bodies were dangling in the air some one
stepped up with a butchers knife and
whipped off moose. A dozen specta-
tors opened their iackknives, and, hack
ing the rope into pieces, threw them to
their friends as mementoes of hangman's
day.
Anthony L. Goble, who was hung the
other day at Elli5ay, Ga, advised the
jailer to see that a strong rope was pro-
vided for the execution, as he was q
heavy weight and did not want to spoil
the sport of the hanging by breaking the
rope. He attributed all his trouble and
misfortune to an contracted habit
OF indulging too freely in strong drink,
and advised his friends to shun the little
brown jug if they wanted to escape
shame and disgrace.
