hour, silence was commanded, and
Father Heinan said - s-
"Now, I will call her." i. st
"Amelia ~ he then fcalled in loud
voice. There was, however, no change
in the countenance of the woman.
Amelia" he repeated, and, as before,
she remained motionless.
"Amelia !" in a louder voice, cried
Father Heinan.
"Father," responded Miss Greth, and
then she repeated few words of prayer.
A PRACTICAL REQUEST.
The scene in the room was at that mo-
ment indescribable. The excitement
was naturally intense, and cries of joy
and weeping were heard on all Sides
Miss Greth then asked for a shawl, and
lady who stood by the bedside took off
her sealskin coat, and put it around the
woman as she by the command of the
priest arose.
GOING TO THE CHURCH.
FatherH Heinan then turned to the wo-
man and commanded her to talk to no
one nor permit any one to talk to her
until after she had returned her thanks
to God for His kindness to her in the
church. She then made her way to the
sacred edifice, walk ing alone and quite
ra pidly, followed by an excited crowd,
comprising hundreds of people.
Ar THE. CHURCH.
When she arrived at the church Fa-
ther Heinan preached two sermons, one
in German and one in English. The
services lasted about two hours.
After the services Miss Greth returned
to her room, apparently strong and
hearty. In response to many inquiries
as to her feelings and emotions she made
the following statement:-
II feel entirely cured. The hemOr
rhages of blood ceased on Thursday,
and since that time [ have felt very
weak and sick. | am convinced that
my lungs were entirely and completely
gone, and that physicians cohid not
have cured me, nor could have been
cured by anybody but my God through
Christ" 5 ..t.

seventy-one Years Of Ace,

EAST MARSHFIELD, Aug. ID, 1870.
MIR. STEVENS, Dear Sir: am seventy-one
years of age; have suffered many years with
Kidney Complaint, weakness in my back and
stomach. 1 was induced by friends to try your
VEGETINE, and 1 think it is the best medicine
for weakness of the kidneys ever used. L
have tried many remedies for this complaint,
VEGETINE. 1t strengthens and invigorates the
whole system. Many of my acquaintance have
taken it, and believe it to be good for all the
complaints for which it is recommended.
Yours truly, JOSIAH IL, SHERMAN.

The little village of East Mauch
Chunk has been to- day in q state of in
tense excitement, growing out of sup.
posed miracle, by which it is claimed
by many devout people a woman was
raised to life and strength an hour after
lieve that the woman's soul actually left
her body and after an hours absence
returned to its earthly tenement in full
ifilment OF q prophecy from supernat
ural source, foretelling the miracle, just
as it to-day occurred.

All Diseases Of the Blood.

If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians
elusive proof, if you are sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
Circulating fluid 1t can truly be called the
GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source
Of disease originates in the blood; and no med

She stated that for r9aly years she
has been protacted by a guardian angel
wlicn she has often seen. The angel
told her not long ago that great miracle
was to be performed ON her and the
promise would soon be fulfilled. She
conveyed the message of the angel to
Father sielnan, WHO annouhced his be
hef in the prophesY. So accurate was
Miss areth in her statements that she
announced few days ago that on the

STORY OF THE PROPHECY.

STORY OF THE PROPHECY.
There is no time now to investigate
thoroughly the facts; but, as the quar-
ter of the town where the poorer and
more ignorant people live is wild with
excitement. it will be well to tell the
story as it is recited by the coolest head
ed Of these claiming to be eye witnesses
In the first place it must be stated that
about two months ago Miss Amelia
Greth, single woman. who had been
living at Reading removed to Mauch
Chunk. She was about thirty six years
old, and was very ill with consumption,
from which she had suffered for long
time. She seemed to be an intelli
gent woman, and was certainly a very
religious one. She was devout Cath
Ollie, and when she came here went di-
rectly to the house of Father Heinen,
the Catholic pastor in charge of the
German congregation, there being two
churches here-one. where English is
spoken and the other for the Pennsyl
vania Dutch, of whom there are many
who can scarcely understand English
Miss Greth made her home at the pas
toral residence of Father Heinen, and
was soon taken so i'll with helnorrhage
that she was confined to her bed.

Many statements are afioat tending to
show that Miss Greth was guilty of pre-
tending death and resurrection and that
in vulgar phrase the miracle was "a put
up job" A woman is said to have de-
clared to-day that she was very tiresome,
and from another source it is asserted
that the supposed dead woman before
her restoration to life was actually seen
to wink.

1t is probable that Mr.. Human will insist
that the trial occur at Santec agency, which

The order issued by Commissioner Hayt
instructing the removal of MIR. Hinman
from Santeu agency is supposed to have
been inspired by the notion that there
would lie a better chance to secure his on
viction if he is prevented from seeing hit
friends or mingling with them previous tc
or during the trial. 1t is a singular ordel
to- emanate from Mr.. Hayt and appears very
much like part of q we'll laid scheme te

been on foot for a year or more We have
positive knowledge. Gen. Hammond is al
the bottom Of it. 1t was some time in the
summer of 1877 that he told the writer Of
this article that he was determined to force
Mr.. Human out of the Indian country

agency was governed by military authority,
nod the rest Of the time 1t wasi in the hands
of civilians. Civilians had charge the first
year, the military the next two years end .
half, and then civilians the balance of the
time. There was no soldier at the agency

Hearn was appointed Indian agent of the

indians could be made self sustaining, that

SAN CARLOS AGENCY.


 We gather very interesting news from MT Hart, agent for the San Car los reservation, who has just returned from Washington, whither he Was re- cently called by the Indian bureau. While in that city AIr Hart gave the Indian commissioner detailed infor- nation relating 10 all matters con nected witlt'the agency. We arc hap py to be able to state to the public that the department have placed to the credit of Mir Hart all the money and supplies that may be needed to properly conduct the affairs of that important agency. An eight thousand dollar school house is to be erected, and the more intelligent of the Indians made to learn some of the lessons of life which lead to civilization and selfsupport. Mr. Hart thinks the In dians can be made to labor and ecOnO- mlZe 10 the extent Ol seiI-Support, and that in fact many of the formerly wild Indians of the war-path are even anxious to be permitted to cultivate the soil. We dre not so sanguine about the desire and capacity of the Indians for labor and learning, but Mir. Hart ought to be a much better judge than ourselves. We believe him to be a man possessed of a good sound judgment, and also believe him to be honest and able. He has ex pressed a desire to be relieved, bu has been persuaded to remain longer and we hope he may be influenced to remain long time the agent of thC government and the manager of tn, above reservation
