A Tin.Clad Dog.

In these times of mad dogs, one which
got his head into tin jar few nights
ago at the residence of w. T. Chandler,
Beaver Valley, Del, was the maddest of
all, but happily he was not mad from an
attack of by drophobia. Spooking around
Mr.. Chambers back yard, he found in an
open summer kitchen tall tin jar, with
something in the bottom which made him
thrust his head in a considerable distance
to reach the palatable morsel at the bot
tom, which we believe, was potato yeast.
Probably not from the effects Of tie yeast,
but from some cause, the dogs head from
the nose to behind the ears grew so ,lsrge
that the can pesisted upon remaining on
his head. When the dog found that he
was fairly caught and not being able to
howl himself, he commenced series of
gymnastics that made more noise than
half dozen dogs. He tugced at the can
with bis feet, he snorted ana sneczed' and
would have growled if he could; he rolled
over on his back, stood upon his hind feet,
and shook himself, but that can was
''thar" and he could not remove it. TAX
ing a cruise around the y. I'd he ,jabbed
the big end Of his tin elongation against
the yard fence, jammed through bunch
of dahlias, swept down swath through
the potato patch, and emerging to the
onion bed he took q roll in it, and
comming back to the open kitchen again
he sent the breakfast table hors de CON-
bat, legs upwards. BY this time Mr..
Chandler had so far recovered from the
tears ingendered by the terrible racket
below, that he ventured from his bed to
see what was the matter. Opening the
kitchen door, the dog hearing noise
made bounce in that direction, almost
ramming the bottom of his tin can that
stuck to him "close- than brother" into
Mr.. G. g face. Frightened for the in
slant at such queer kind of an animal,
Mr.. Chandler shut the tin-headed beast
out, but after moments consideration,
he grasped the situation and boldly went
out and grasped that tin can, and with a
dcxterous effort he threw the fuzzy end
of it over the fence, but held on to the
tin end. The dog pulled and Mr., Chand.
lor pulled, and at last the separation
came, Mr.. G. performing a somersault on
one side of the fence and the dog at the
other. r." s ! J. = -

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of the
grave of Hou. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last
May, the body being found in the dlssecting-
room Of the Ohio Medical Collge. Public in
dignation justly brands any man as a scoun-
drel who will rob the grave of the dead. But
there are two noted grave robbers in the
country, so far from being the subjects of the
peoples wrath, are universally Landed for
their virtues. The reason is plain. While the
former class steal the dead bodies Of eur loved
ones. to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore the
living victims to our hearts and homes.
Their names-Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets-are
household words the world over. The Golden
Medal Discovery cures consumption, in it's
early sta: es and all bronchial. throat, and
lung affections; Pleasant Pnrgative pellets
are the most valuable laxative and cathartic.

Env1runed With Danger.

The dweller or temporary sojourner in a
malarious region of country is environed with
danger. Besides inhaling at every breath an
atmosphere saturated with an infectious poi
son, he also drinks wattr which is in most in
stances likewise impregpated with the fever
and ague breeding naiasn,ata. If Il bilious sub
ject, deficient in stamina. or irregular in habit
OF body or digestion, his peril is much in
creased, as these abnormal conditions are ex-
tremely favorable to the contraction Of ma
larial disease. But this danger may be safely
encountered with the assistance of HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, which completely nulliAes
the atmospheric virus, aud neutralizes the
'nstituents of m iasma-t ainted water. This
benign antidote to disease eradicates and pre-
vents fevers of an Intermittent and bilious
remittent type, besides eff;cting a thorough
and permanent reform of those enfeebled or
irregular conditions of the systems which
invite not only malaria, but other diseases
equally to be dreaded.

Chicago Times.
Some rather startling, intelligence was re-
celved at Sheridan's headquarters, on yester-
day. relating to the march of the festive Nez
Perez through the mining camps and farming
settlements of Montana territory. The news
comes from the commanding officer at Fort
Missoula. He reports that party of Nez
Perces, estimated as numbering only fifteen to
eighteen. are marching westward through the
northern half OF the territory, apparently with
the intention of making their way across the
mountains to their old reservation in Idaho,
These Indians are portion of those who re-
Gently left Sitting Bulls camp, in Canada and
started westward, declaring that they would
fight their way to their former home. 1t was
then supposed that they would hardly
attempt to cross to the American side
of the line at any point east of the main
range OF the rocky mountains. They seem to
have done what they were least expected to do
and, II reports are true, they waging hos
tllltles upon scale that must invite spe. DIV
disaster to themselves, unless they should have
their usual good luck of keeping in advance of
the enemy. The officer at Fort Missoula saws

than thirty settlers since they crossed from
Canada into Montana The victims were ranch
men and miners. The redskins have stolen a
Re" good horses, by way OF diversion and to
keep their hand in, as they sauntered through
the country. The settlers said they would vol
unteer to go in pursuit of the hostiles, but
when the pinch came they were not there in
any formidable numbers. There are but a
small detachment of soldiers stationed at Fort
Missoula. hardly enough to guard the govern
ment property, but the commanding officer
sent squad of half dozen men to Lolo pass,
for the purpose of preventing the escape of the
hostiles to the westward, as escape in that di-
rection is possible only through that gorge in
the mountains. The squad returned, reporting
that the Nez Perces had not appeared there
Another force of few men was Instantly dis
patched to the pass, with orders not to allow
the hostiles to escape in that direction; and
that was the situation of affairs in Montana at
the date of last advices.
