 Gored By a Bull.-Last Sunday evening as MT. s. c. Bennett of this place was passing through door in his barn, his two- year-old Jersey bull stood in the way, and he hit the animal slightly with pail he had in his hand to make him move off, when the bull lowered his head and plunged for him, tanning him against the barn and throwing him nearly ten feet in the air. When Mir. Bennett came to the ground the enraged animal again lowered his head and was about to gore him, when lad, Me- Guire, who happened to be in the yard, hurled stone, hitting the bull on the head, turning him one side, after which he drove him to another part of the yard. The lac dragged MT. B. into the barn unconscious, after which assistance was called and he was taken to the house and Dr. Camp call ed. It was found that no bones were bro- ken, but he is quite seriously injured inter- nally, though exactly how seriously cannot at this writing be determined, but it is hop cd not so much so but that the excellent care he receives will soon restore hlm. Ger tam it is his escape from death was exceed ingly narrow, for when he fell to the ground he was entirely at the mercy of the beast, and had it not been for the timely presence of the young man, Mcclure, he would surely have been gored to death.

RocKpoRT, Mass, April 2, 1871
Mr.. EDITOR: Having read in your paper
reports of the remarkable cures of catarrh,
| am induced to tell "what / know about
catarrh," and l fancy the snuff " and /" in
haling-tube makers (mere dollar grabbers)
similar cure in the papers. For twenty-six
years | suffered with catarrh, The nasal
passages became completely closed. "Snuff,"
dust" "ashes," inhaling-tubes," and
sticks" wouldn't work, though at intervals
| would sniff up the so-called catarrh snuff,
until l became valuable tester for such
medicines. gradually grew worse, and no
one can know how much | suffered or what
miserable being l was. My head ached
over my eyes so that l was confined to my
bed for many successive days, suffering the
most intense pain, which at one time lasted
continuously for one hundred and sixty
eight hours. All sense of smell and taste
gone, sight and hearing impaired, body
shrunken and weakened, nervous system
shattered, and constitution broken, and /
was hawking and splitting seven-eighths of
the time. prayed for death to relieve me
of my suffering. A favorable notice in your
paper of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy induced
me to purchase package, and use it with
Or. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which applies
the remedy by hydrostatie pressure, the
only way compatible with common sense.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it did not cure me in
three-fourths of second, nor in one hour
or month, but in less than eight minutes |
was relieved, and in three months entirely
cured, and have remained so for over sixteen
months. While using the Catarrh Remedy,
l used DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery to purify my blood and strengthen
my stomach. also kept my liver active
and bowels regular by the use of his Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets. If my experience
will induce other sufferers to seek the same
means of relief, this letter will have an
swered its purpose. Yours truly,

Didn't Think He Looked Like Granger
TCincinnati Breakfast Tablet


Mr.. Debonaire, the elder, has been a
great traveller, and takes a good deal of
pleasure in the thought that he possesses
as much information concerning all
civilized quarters of the globe as can be
found anywhere outside of the guide
books. He is polished, dignifed gen.
tleman, with cosmopolitan air, and
generally keeps strangers at arms
length.
The other day he rushed into the bank
where his son officiates as cashier, very
much Hurried and agitated about some
thing, and blurted out, as he angrily
paced the thing:
Charley, do look like COMPOUNDED
concentrating granger?'
Certainly not" replied his son, with
much surprise. "What makes you ask
such an absurd question, father?''
DO you see any hay-seed in my
hair? vehemently demanded the old
gentleman, with red face and savage eye.
Why, no, of course not-what a
ridiculous idea Ha! ha! hal Only
think of itP' responded the wonder
struck son, with laugh.
Can you notice any straws or horse
hairs clinging to my coat ?" urged the
agitated parent, with wild glare, biting
his cigar in two.
" Why, father! How you talk. Moth
ing of the kind-certainly not. Your
dress is perfect-all right. What's the
row, anyway" asked the young man
with face full of perplexity.
" Well, then, want to know-without
any deception, boy-the straight truth,
mind-can you smell anything like a
stable or a cheese-house about my cloth
ing? Don't deceive your father,
Charley; let the truth come, if it kills
me, reiterated the wealthy gentleman
as he drew near his son with strangely
mortified and subdued air.
Never! Not bit of it. Out with
it-what's up, any how? / can't stand
this suspense any longer" said Charley.
Well, boy, right here in Cincinnati,
in broad daylight, man with apparently
good eyesight, has actually taken me for
an iignoramus of country greenhorn,
and tried to rope me III with an old
wornout confidence game that's been
shown up in all the papers hundreds
and hundreds of timesi Mel a man
that's travelled thousands of miles, and

GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE.
MAMIE.
BY HARVEY HOWARD.


Ny Mamie, dear Mamie, the sweetest
OF all the sweet children know.
With cheeks most as red as the roses,
And neck just as white as the snow.
With eyes just as black as the midnight,
Yet as bright are they, too, as the dawn;
Such beauty in pictures is lacking
Though the deftest Of artists have drawn.
Her laugh-why, her laugh is as perfect
As the song of bird in the south,
And her face seems q vision of beauty
When smile ripples up from her mouth.
Her voice is the voice Of a starting,
And her bosom the breast of dove;
And the ways Of my winsome wee darling
Are the ways of an angel Of love.
Her tireless soft hands bring blessing
Wherever they happen to fall
las much if to chide as caressing,)
And they never are resting at all.
Her lips can not be made Of coral,
For coral is hardly so red;
Ard nothing but threads of the midnight
Could furnish the hair Of her head.
i call her my dear little lover
SO loving is she, and so shy,
hardly know when she most charms me,
With twinkle or tear in her eye.
But know that in joy or in sorrow
She's as dear as my life, and as sweet,
And as fair, from her locks like the raven,
To her feet-fying, fine little feet.

THE BRIG lit LITTLE THREE.
BY ELLA wEsTFIELD.

They not little chickens to peep from the SHE'LL
But beautiful gosings, the hen loved so well;
so fussily spreading her feathery wings,
They all cuddled under, the dear little things
And she never grew weary, so loving was shc
OF daily providing for the bright little three.
True, their bills were unpointed, but golden and
sweet
Did they seem unto her, and their broad little feet
As they waddled along inflated with pride,
As they nestled beneath her to costly hide,
This old hen was happy, important and free,
While clueking and scratching for the beautiful
three.
Twas morn in midsummer, the sky was serene,
The dews rested lightly on leaflets Of green
When the old hen behought her of a beautiful treat
For the dear little goslings, golden and sweet
So she led her bright darngs with the air of queen
Through the meadows Of clover with cowslips be-
tween,
Till she came to brookle where the waters so clear
Were whispering softly in some fairy ear
Ali ali! how she hutters and fumes to behold
Her charge launch away like feathery gold
Ihou poor bird, so faithful and true to thine own
Thus we train up our children 10 launch off Alone
Our hearts they frettng. and filled with unrest
For the beautiful blossoms so dear to our breast
Wilt thou guide them, kind Heaven, when storm
clouds arise
With the smile of Thy presence and the light Of
Thine eyes,
Then, no matter how darkly the wavelets may be
Around them, they sally, dear Savior with Thee.

story got abroad; and the commander
