ASTONISHING SUCCESS 1T IL the duty

ASTONISHING SUCCESS. 1T Ia the duty
OF every person who has used BOSHEE' g
GERMAN SYRUP to let its wonderful quail
ties be known to their friends in curing Con-
sumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use il without im-
mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider IL the duty of all
Druggists to recommend ii To the poor dying
cOnsumptive. At least To try one bottle, rs
40 600 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed was reported.
Such medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For

FOUND DEAD-The lfeless remains Of
an unknown man were found on last Sunday
afternoon .ying beside the track os tho
Ebensburg and Cresson railroad, al what is
known az Lilly's crossing, not far beyond
Munster and letter discovered i'm one of
his pockets, dated at Pleasantvilie, Bedford
county, and evidently written by himself
aud add dressed to some party in Altoona, left
no doubt that his name was James McCarty,
and the presumption is that he was on his
way to the latter city, though an undirected
envelope, bearing the printed card of an AL
toona business house, which vas found on
his person, might be accepted as An evidence
that ne was returning from that place. Be
that as il may, there was nothing to show
that he had been frozen odeath, as reported
bv some of the papers, while all the sur
roundings pointed very plainly to The fact
that heart disease or some equally expedi-
tious melody had thus sadly and strangely
ended his earthly career. When found he
had carpet-sack clutched tightly in one
hand. while the other hand was thrust into
one of his pockets, which showed very con-
clusively that death had come upon him
without a moments warning. We did not
learn whether any inquest was held on the
remains, or whether anything valuable was
found in his possession but the latter we
presume W as not the case, AZ the body was
removed to the poor-honse and on Monday
last buried in Potter's field at the expense
of the county.

A SKILLFUL LPHYSICtAN.-Dr George ii.
Keyser, of this city, is SO wellknown TO the
community in which he has been in success
ful practice for snch a long series of years,
that it is scarcely necessary to mention the
location of his Office. For the benefit of the
few who may not tie familiar with it. how
ever it may be stated that it is at No. 240
Penn avenue The doctor, in his special
lines of practice, may be said to be almost
without a peer in this country. lengthy
experieuce and years OF study have made
him most thoroughly familiar with pulmon-
arv complaints, and likewise with all that
class of diseases that are to be cured by
trusses and appliances of that character.
DR. Keyser is one of the best educated men
In this locality-particularly 30 in his pro-
fession and in the particular branches of it
to which we have referred. His thorough
knowledge of diseases of this character and
their treatment insure absolute safety, and
those who place their reliance on him can
rest assured that their faith is fi rmy ground

Disastrous Hail Storm in New Hamp-

EXETER, May 25.-The hardest hailstorm
ever known by the Oldest Inhabitants here, with
thunder and lightning of about half an hours
duration, visited this place this afternoon. Hail
stones the size of robbins egg and larger lay
in drifts four inches to foot deep around the
buildings some time after the storm. The
leaves of trees are badly cut. 1t is thought a
great deal of damage is done to fruit trees and
early crops. During the storm leaves were
falling in clouds from the trees, and the ground
was thickly covered with tathered leaves and
twigs, and after the storm large quantity of
rain fell the streets were converted to rivers.
Considerable glass is reported broken in win
dows.
thunder showers passed over the city this after.
noon In one of the storms there was a heavy
fall of hail, but though the hail stones were
quite large, it is thought fruit trees were not
much damaged.

Savage, abe saco Murderer, Pleads
Guilty.
ALFRED, May 25.-Savage, the confessed
murderer of Rose Vincent at Saco April Sth,
was today arraigned before the Supreme
Court Judge Barrows, and pleaded guilty.
Witnesses were called by County Attorney
Burbank to determine the circumstances and
degree of the crime. The evidence shows moth.
ing different from the statements already
made public. The prisoner waived entirely
his privilege to question witnesses or to make
any oral or written statement to the court in
his defence. The judge withheld his decision,
taking the matter under advisement. Savage
appeared very much cast down, as he has been
from the first, under sense of his guilt Dur
ing his confinement he has not in the least
attempted to palliate his crime 1t was in
evidence, from his employer, that he was quiet
and peaceable and uniformly gentemanly and
kind He was neatly dressed and is q man of
good appearance, one whom neither manners
nor features would place in the criminal class.
The grand jury report eleven indictments;
one for murder, two for arson, one for burning
store in the night time and seven for violation
of the liquor law. Five persons who had been
bound over were discharged.
