MEDICAL.
SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

DAN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are Costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; 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
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can. be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them A FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

And when the contested cases came up
these eight perjured scoundrels voted solid,
every time, not to receive any evidence.
In the face of their oath, and the rule they
had adopted, they voted eUeyy time on all

The annexed tabular statement presents
the first absolutely complete record of
the presidential election yet printed. The
World not long since published some
what similar table in advance of all it's con-
tempories, but the figures there were only
approximate. These now given are the
official votes Of the states, as compiled by
authorized officers, and hence are entirely
trustworthy. A glance at the tables and
the accompanying foot-notes will be sufi-

Hayes, and did vote for Governor Tilden-

sleep. when re suddenly sprang to his
feet, gathered up his bundles, containing
purchases he had made in the city, and
walked deliberately overheard. The
night being dark, and the boat moving
rapidly forward, nothing more was seen
of the man, and it became the conviction
among those on board that he was
drowned. Great was their astonishmont,

THE citizens of Lickskillet, Ridgcway,
township, Usage county, have had an
unusual kind of excitement in hunting
snakes. Last autumn some people saw
snakes going in and out of a hole in Mr.
Losh's place, so a number Of neighbors
concluded to dig them out. A week ago
last Saturday a party went to work.
After digging part of the afternoon they
came to den of reptiles. As it was a
poor day for snakes, the result of the
slaughter was only eighty six, consisting
of rattlesnakes, copperheads, black snakes
and blue racers, some of which were six
feet long, and some were as large as
mans arm. Some of the rattlesnakes
had as many as ten rattles. There are
more supposed to be in the hole that will
be dug out in time.-Ldwrcnce kon-s)

4 SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

This morning an employee in the De
iance, named Halver Olsen, placed can
of water upon the forge of the black
smith shop at the Defiance mine, for the
purpose of thawing out some giant pow
der caps. The water in the can had pre-
viously been used for the purpose of
thawing out cartridges and the nitro-gly-
cerine in the powder, in the process OF
thawing, had mixed with the water.
Olsen began blowing the fire to warm
the water, when suddenly an explosion
took place, SCATTERING the can to frag-
ments. Mr.. Olsen received the full
charge in his body, from his head to his
hips. His face and chin are frightfully
cut, and his hand and arm blown to
pieces. Portions of the can entered
near the seventh rib, one in
the groin, and piece two inches long
below the umbilicus. He carried
heavy silver watch in his pocket, which,
perhaps, was the means of saving his
life, as piece struck the watch, taking
piece out as large as an acorn. Several
pieces from an inch to an inch and a bali
in length were taken from his body. 1t
is supposed that pieces are still in the
mans legs, stomach and lungs. The den
of the shop was blown out, also the
forge. Mr. Olsen had five cartridges in
his pocket, which, fortunately, did not
explode.-Ner. Miner.
