Systems toned and renovated with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters are most effectually
defended from disease. That supreme invig-
GRANT soon overcomes that distressing fee
bleness consequent upon ailments which i'm.
poverish the blood and relax the muscles.
Vigor, appetite, sleep return to the wasted
frame, and every physical faculty gains
greater activity through its benign influence.
Nor is this all, for the Bitters have a most
genial and cheering effect upon the mind Of
the respondent invalid. which is the natural
effect of the increased bodily vitality which
they produce. Nervous symptoms disap-
pear in consequence of the use of this medi-
cine, and the evil consequences sure to re.
suit from a premature decay of the physical
energies are averted. Dyspepsia, liver com.
plants, rheumatic ailmen's, urinary and
uterine irregui %arities, malarial diseases, and
many other disordered conditions of the
system are remedied by the Bitters.

N Fntal shotgun.

A shocking tragedy occurred lately on
Colville's Hill, about a quarter of a mile
north of Paramount, Cincinnati. Johnny
Heinlein, a young mar engaged with his
father, Adam Heinlein, on Mr.. Henry Col
ville's place, had been cunning on the hill
during the forenoon with his cousin George
Feis. On returningto the place at noon, both
repaired to the stable, a small shed in the rear
of the house occupied by the Heinlein
family. Young Heinlein stood at the stable
door, while young Feis, inside the stable,
playfully pointed the gun at his cousin and
pulled the trigger. The discharge alarmed
the elder Heinlein, who, hurrying from the
house, saw his son leaning against the stable
door and slowly sliding down to the ground,
his face and body covered with streaming
blood, while his nephew Feis lodged around
the corner of the stable and ran excitedly
down the hill. Young Heinlein was already
lead, a full charge of shot having entered
and destroyed his left eye and torn its way
through the upper part of his skull. The
Coroner's jury decided that the un-
fortunate affair was purely accidental.

bloody work at Rurk CITY.

A young maa by the name of Neil met a
well to do old farmer in a saloon at Burk
City, back of greensboro, KY. They drank
together, and became quite jovial and
friendly. Neil bought whisky and started
home with the farmer, whose name is Gar
hart, to spend the night at his house. Neil
invited the old man to drink, when young
Garhart interposed. Knives were drawn on
both sides, but Neil got the advantage and
plunged his weapon into his antagonist. At
this point the mother of the victim rushed
to Neil and begged for the life of her
helpless boy. Neil wheeled upon the
mother and drove his knife into her
lett breast, causing instant death.
The drunken wretch ripped young
Garhart open SO that his entrails protruded.
A young son of the old farmer, who came
to the rescue, suffered severe flesh wounds,
while Neil himself received dangerous
wounds. The murderer fled to the house
of lewis alls-and-algded -captnre-nntil
Monday, when he wal secured and put
under $4,000 bonds. He expresses sorrow
for nothing but the death of Mrs. Garhart,
who was enceinte at the time.

An Old Love Affair Renewed.

If matches are made in heaven, the
engagement of Judge Orson Brook and
his present bride must have been tenn
porarily overlooked by the angelic hosts.
In the year 1888 he and a merry Massa-
chusetts maiden were engaged to be
married. She was eighteen and he
twenty-five. A lovers quarrel sepa-
rated them, and he travelled West to
soothe his wounded heart. His lacerated
affections were healed by the association
of another fair damsel, who soon became
his wife. The Massachu>e tts maiden
also married, and the two couples, liv-
ing miles apart, were happy for a few
years, until the natural course of events
made Nj. Brooks a widower, and his
first love a widow. For a second time
they married, and after a period of
years they were again forced to mourn,
he for his second wife, and she for her
second husband. The mourners, who
had been ardent lovers over forty-ive
years ago, met again, by chance or fate,
and their two hearts, just united by a
Denver clergyman, now beat as one.

An Akron Mystery.

A special to the Cincinnati Commercial
of October II says: A few days ago while
Mrs. Michael Metzler. Lying in Akron, was
husking corn in a field, she was struck by
several stones, which came from an un-
known source. Later in the day her
children were struck in the same way, and
fed in terror to the house. On Wednesday
evening, while Mrs. Metzler was again in
the field, she was again struck by large
Jumps of earth and several stones in a SINH
lar manner as before. Yesterday morning,
standing before their cellar door, a large
pebble came up from the cellar, striking
the little girl in the face.
Father Brown, a Catholic priest of this
city, was present, and about ten o'clock
offered a prayer. Hardly had he finished,
however, before two large stones fell at his
feet, followed by a dozen or more pebbles,
which came from the ceiling and walls,
striking the persons who were in the room.
A Commercial reporter with a companion
went to the house to-day, and upon entering
the brick building were given chairs next
the door, where an excellent view of the
room could be obtained. Mrs. Metzler with
tears in her eyes declared it was not ghosts
or anything of the Kind, and said it must be
a curse on the family. AS she spoke she
was standing in the middle of the room,
and had pointed out to the reporter from
whence the stones came, when suddenly
a pebble the size of a hickory nut drop
ped from the ceiling and fell, striking
Mrs. Me!zler on the arm. The reporter
witnessed all this, and picked up the
stone as it fell.
Soon afer this a neighbor came to the
front door and inquired if anything more
had transpired. The reporter walked te
the door, and was showing the stone which
had just fellto the neighbor, when sud
denly a larger pebble, four times the size O
the first one, struck the reporter On thu
shoulder and fell to the floor. His com
panion saw the stone come through the cell
ing about a yard from where the other ont
had come from.
Mrs. Metzler stated to the reporter tina
at night the stones fell with a whistlin,
noise. She showed to the reporter abou
twenty stones that had fallen during tn
moor

The Boston Commercial Buletia, reminding
Its readers thai the next few weeks give the
best season of the year to "plant fences"
supplies some very remarkable figures as to
the use of wire fence, and especially of the
Barb Fence of the Washburn & Moen Man
%ufacturing Company. Since the introduce
ton of wire fence, twenty years ago, one
hundred and fifty thousand miles of this fence
have been constructed. The Barb Fence
has been before the public only three sea.
sons, yet already ~tacentyJour thousand mil
of this fence are in use in this country and
various parts Of the'world. 1t is in the highest
favor with land owners, for farm aud home
protection against depredators of the crops
and orchards. The fence ia constructed of
Galvanized Steel Wire, and carries steel
barbs firmly attached by the process of man.
ufacture patented in this country and very
widely abroad. The Barb Fence is literally
a steel thorn hedge with all the defensive
qualities of the most perfect hedge, and all
the durability of galvanized steel wire. 1t
is cheap as a material, easy in construction,
and has almost the life and t~enacity of a
stone wall. The Barb Fence Wire is being
extensively used insingle strands TO perfect
and give efficiency to walls and fences of old
construction. 1t will turn the breachiest

as in the OUTLYING field.

Court Scene at a Mining Camp.
[san Francisco Uhronicle.l

Ie@h
At Owens River Mining Camp, when
Big Bill Moody swore point blank at a
trial to ascertain the exact line between
two claims, that he had seen the orig
inal stake driven in 1852, MI. Graham
said.
Mr.. Moody, do you swear that you
saw that stake driven in 1852? Remem-
Der, sir, that you are on your OATH"
Mr.. Moody-Yes, | do.
Mr.. Graham-Could you not be mis-
taken? Think, sir, was it not some
other stake?
Moody-No, sir, it wasn't.
Mr.. Graham (his hand gliding round
to the back of his belt)-Do you swear,
sir, you could not be mistaken
Moody-Well, II am pretty sure.
Mr.. Graham (frmly, as his hand
grasped something at his back. which
answered with a click, click)-Don't
you know it to be fact that you never
saw any stake in any place driven into
anything by anybody?
Opposing counsel calmly draws a navy

The Court will state to the opposin'
counsel that there shan't be no shootin'
done in this Court, an for DRAWN a

Opposing counsel Slowing rising)-Ii
your Honor please, it is a well-estab-
lished point Of law, as laid bown by thai
eminent jurist, Chief Justice Storage, Of
Texas, that it is the right of the counse

virginia Tragedy.

Major Green Witt, a prominent citizen Of
Patrick County, Va, shot and almost in.
stantly killed Colonel John W. Rosser, of
the same county, on Thursday. The tragedy
occurred seven or eight miles from Patrick
Courthouse, at the residence of Elijah Har-
rell. 1t appears that the two gentle
men got into a dispute about a trivial
business matter, in the course of which
Witt dared Rosser to approach him.
Rosser, who was sitting on the porch with
his wife and two other ladies, replied that
he did not intend to have any difficulty in
the yard, but added that he was not afraid
Of Witt or his pistol, either, and stepped
out of the porch toward Witt, who instantly
fred at him with a pistol. Rosser turned
and started to run, and was pursued by Witt,
who continued to fire at him with his pistol.
Rosser, after running some thirty steps, fell,
and died in a few seconds.

Three Volcanoes at Once.

Not ono in centuries does a time oc.
cur in which, as at present, all of the
three great active volcanoes of the
world are in full blaze together. That
singular fact now exists. Cotopaxi, in
Ecuador, the great active fire mountain
of the Andean chain, is reported to be
in full and tremendous activity-his
towering, s~now-covered peak, rising
far above the high mountain valley of
Quito, and twenty thousand feet above
the sea, being crowned by a roaring
sheet of flame, and belching forth lava,
ashes and thunder.
If other South American volcanoes
are again active-as Chimborazo higher
than Cotopaxi) aud Aconcagua, loftiest
of all-no news of it has been received.
But in Italy both of the great volcanoes
are in action-an unusual circumstance.
Etna, the great mountain in the island
of Sicily, is seldom in action-scarcely
once in a century-and far more rare is
tie occurrence of a simultaneous erup-
ton of Etna and Vesuvius. Both are
now in full activity, and the sight, at
night, of either flaming mountain must
be sublime. People go all the way from
England to get a night-sight of Vesuvius
in eruption, from Naples or from the
bay.
1t may very likely be the case that
volcanoes in other and less accessible
parts of the world are also now in erup-
tion-Hecla, in Iceland, a modern
creation, being one of the most probable
points, but from that lonely and desc
late island, living far away and alone,
in its chill seas, behind the cold shoulder
of the globe, no news is likely to be re-
ceived for a good while to come. But
the fact itself of the simultaneous
eruption of three great volcanoes in
different regions is sufficiently interest
ing to excite attention.
Taken in connection with the usual
prevalence Of the worst crimes, the
frightful work of pestilence, of war,
and of storms and cloud bursts, it will
doubtless tend to revive the fears of the
timid and the wonder dispensations of
those who are given to the marvellous,
and lead many to wonder if, after all,
the predicted end of things terrestrial
may not be near at hand.
But people of common sense will not
be affected by such sensations and after
the dreaded year of 1880 or 1881 (which
ever it is) has passed in safety and
quiet, and things are found to have
gone on in the usual way, the nerves Of
the sensation lovers will also, it is to be
hoped, become quiet once more, till
some new date for the final catastrophe
is fixed upon.

Revenue Agent, and some twenty other
Federal revenue officers, on charges of ex-
cess of authority in making arrests of illicit
distillers and persons engaged in fraudu-

Wagner and the other officers, with one ex.
ception, the case of Jesse Hookins, who
was found guilty Of using excessive and un-
necessary violence in shooting at a fleeing
distiller.

An alteration occurred between Isaiah
Jarvis and George Pence near Ssdalia,
Indiana, lately, with c~orn-knives, resulting
in the killing of Jarvis, and fatally iniuring
Pence. The quarrel was regarding a piece
of pasture. Jarvis was sixty years old and
wealthy.
