A Life-Struggle with a Maniac.

On Saturday last rather finely
dressed and well-appearing man landed
at Fair Point, Chautauqua lake, and en-
gagged board for fortnight at the Pal
ace Hotel. There was nothing unnat-
ural in his appearance, nor did it seem
at all remarkable when he attended
church on Sunday morning and bowed
in feryent prayer near the altar. People,
noting his conspicuous position, looked
with admiring wonder on the man who,
regardless of the scrutinizing vision Of
the whole congregation, manifested his
religious zeal in the most emphatic man
ner. On Monday morning the stranger
strolled out near the lake, and there
met Mr. George Irwin, asomewhat noted
duck-hunter, who had just come in with
his dog and gun: The stranger affably
greeted Mr.. Irwin, and asked to be
allowed to examine his gun Mr.. Irwin
unsuspectingly handed over the weapon,
when the stranger carefully examined it,
then cooked it, and, holding it toward
Mr.. Irwin, asked him how he would
rather die-would he prefer being
drowned to being shot? Mr.. Irwin, re-
$tbI d1LS NfuCOUlOll JUNO, ICD1ICo
that, if it was necessary to die right
there and then, he preferred taking a
turn in. the water 1t was then that the
strangers eyes glared with maniacal
frenzy, and, dashing the gun upon the
sand, he grappled with the now-terrifed
Irwin The struggle was desperate
one. The maniac was powerful man,
and, with an iron grip, dragged the
sportsman to the waters edge, when the
struggle for life and death became even
more desperate. Finally, they both went
into the water, and, while founderings
there, some men who stood at a short
distance ran to the rescue and were
scarcely able to release the victim from
the maniac's clutch. His clothes were
nearly all torn from his body, and he
was terribly bruised by the brief and
fearful encounter. Just about this time
small steamer came to the dock. It
required four strong men to put the
maniac on board. He was taken to
Mayville and lodged in jail. O. He per-
sistently refused to give his name, de-
claring as a reason for his conduct that
it was necessary to sacrifice some life to
the conservation of the Sunday school
ground at that place; that he had been
chosen as the instrument of death. He
seemed to talk sanely about the matter,
and regarded Mr.. Irwin as an unsppre-
ciatiye man, because, as he said, it was
clearly in his power to shoot Irwin upon
the spot, whereas he had given him his
choice of death, and when about to
yield his preference four worldly friends
appeared upon the scene and inter
fered.-Erie (Pa) Dispatch.

Didn't Know How.

E
In a town. near Boston there lives a
good lady who suffers acutely from sci
atica. eShe has consulted physicians far
and near, but has been unsuccessful in
finding any cure. Not long since she
heard that a man living not far away was
afflicted with the same disease in an ag-
gravating form, and it occurred to her
that she would call upon him and ask
whether he had found anything that
would avail to lessen it's terrors. She
did so, and, having introduced herself,
stated her errand. r,.
"Do you" she asked, "fnd anything
that affords you reGef?"
Eyes, marm,' he replied. "Two
things" fs rr
"Pray what are they?" ra
"Cursing and swearing" said the in
valid.
It is added that on her return home
the good lady told her husband that she
only regretted that she could not avail
herself of this remedy.

scruples," she said, ''but I don't know

The Physiology of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ in the
human body, and the bile which it secretes is
more liable to vitiation and misdirection from
its proper channels than any other of the ami
NAL fluids. Luckily for the bilious, however,
there is an unfailing source of relief from liver
complaint, namely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine which for over a quarter of a cent
ury has been achieving thorough cures of
the aforementioned ailments, fever and ague,
dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic and
kidney affections, and disorders involving loss
of nervous vigor 1t is, moreover, preventive
of malarial disease, and affords protection to
thousands of persons residing in districts of
country where that dire scourge is prevalent.
AS remedy adapted to the medicinal require
ments Of families it is supremacy desirable, and
as means of fortifying debilitated system it
is thoroughly to be depended upon.

Reyenging a Slight.

sumption of superiority on the part of
legal or political associates. When he
and Alexander Hamilton were contend

bar, it happened that they were engaged
on the same side Of an important suit.
The etiquette of the bar assigned the
honor of the opening plea to the lead

arrogance, perhaps, limited that Col.
Burr would make the opening argu-
