diseases as IRE here enumerated, VIZ for Dis
eases of the Bladder all Diseases of the Organs,
weakness, &C., whether in male or female, no
matter of how long standing It allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and is pleasant to the taste.
1t s gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines TO be able TO state that it is now nearly 30
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used in
various parts OF the United States, and have given
10 patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed; whether in town or country ,
hospital, private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequvocsl satisfac-
ton, and produced the most sautsry and benehcisl
effects Numerous letters have been received from
some of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors Of several Med
ical Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value Of these medicines, and their gu
periority over other preparations for such COM

.. senate.
The Chicago Inter Ocean, of yesterday,
gives up the U. s. senate in the following
rather melancholy and disjointed sort Of
way, viz:
"a new point of danger in view of the
peculiar settlement of the Louisiana and
South Carolina cases is the most unlikely
supremacy 4 the Democratic party in the
senate The present complexion of tfat
body is. Republicans 3S, Democrats "a,
Independents 2 The election and admis-
sion of two Democratic senators from
Louisiana. and one from South Carolina
will give the Democrats and Independents
majority. The Independents, however,
may be counted on to join in no scheme
against the country, so that, except in case
OF vacancies in the Republican ranks by
death or otherwise, the danger is not i'm
mediate. That the change will soon come,
however, and the senate pass from the
power of the Republicans, seems hardly to
admit of doubt. Alabama. Arkansas. and
Mississippi are each Democratic, and each
have one Republican senator whose terms
expire in little over a year. So also
with New York and Indiana, though
there is hope OF the two latter. There
seems to be much ground for fear, how
ever, that the Republican supremacy in
| the senate, which has continued unuues
| toned for sixteen years, is about to be
| lost"

A Singular Accident that Re-
suited In Death

The Harrisburg Telegraph Of the
18th inst. says: The quiet little bor-
ough of Shiremanstown, Pa, was
overshadowed with cloud of grief
at about y o'clock last evening. 1t
appears that while Bailey Mateer was
pursuing his usual avocation, that of
post-making, and while in the act of
changing the position of very heavy
post, it, by some means or other, got
the better of him, threw him violent
ly upon his hewing axe (which was
standing with the edge exposed) and
cutting him in a most horrible man
nsr. In the fall his body struck the
axe at the base of the spinal column,
severing it about two inches, and fol-
lowed the soft parts down to the per-
inaeum to the depth of the entire
axe and about six or eight inches in
length, severing the main artery. He
was alone at the time of the accident,
but his cry for help was heard by his
near neighbor, Samuel E. Sheely, who
was working in his lot near by, and
who, only a few minutes before, had
assisted him in carrying the same
post from an adjoining alley to the
place of the accident. Mr.. Sheely
Immediately went to his assistance
and found him in the position above
described, with the post lying across
him, and in such position that it was
impossible for him to extricate him
self. MIR. Sheely called for more
help, but before sufficient assistance
arrived the spark of life had almost
fed By the loss Of blood DR.. W. S.
Bruckart wasimmediately summoned,
but before his arrival Father Mateer
was no more.
He was an elder in the Church of
God-a man of unblemished charac-
ter, and Was universally respected
and esteemed by his large circle Of
relatives and acquaintances.

Between one and two o'clock on the
afternoon of the 11th inst, an acci-
dent occurred in the Brookield coal
mine at Wheatland, Pa, by which six

dead are Robert Williams, Miles Da

The coal from the Brookfeld mine
hauled out by locomotive engine
On the morning above mentioned the
managers of the mine ordered an
thracite coal to be burned in the en-
gine furnace instead of soft coal,
which has been heretofore used
About IL o'clock the engine passed
into the slope. After being in short
time the men in charge of the engine
became suddenly affected by the gas
from the hard coal, causing them to
fall to the ground in an insensible
condition. The engineer managed
to make his way back to the mouth
Of the bank and gave the alarm, at
which a large number of men rushed
into the bank to rescue their COM
radss. One after another they passed
in, but we're almost Immediately over

insensible. After several had thus
fallen, q gang was organized to rescue
those who went in last, and squads of
four or five passed in ratil they came

take him in their arms and carry him

What a Woman's Dress Did.

AJudge named Hilton, who is man.
aging the estate of the dead New
York merchant, A 7. Stewart, issued
an order to his clerks in a hotel at
Saratoga that no Hebrews shall be
allowed to stop at the hotel. The
cause of the exclusion of a class OF
decent people from a hotel is the
source of conjecture. The large ma
jority of people conclude that snob-
berry is at the bottom of it all, that
the Judges real cause for the order
is found IN the fact, that last year a
few Jewish ladies at the same hotel
wore finer dresses than the lady
