The Erie PENN Dispatch describes
as follows scene in one of the courts
of that city: "An elderly gentleman
was on the witness-stand, and seemed to
be exceedingly anxious to convince the
court and jury that he possessed uncom-
mon watchfulness at night, declaring
that he was always aroused from slumber
by the slightest noise in his room. One
of the attorneys, in cross-examining the
witness, asked if it was not fact that
he was not great and sound
sleeper. L don't think am, was the
reply. But do you not sometimes fall
asleep at the dining-table?' Some
times when am tired fall into doze,
was the reply; but that does not pre-
vent my going on with the dinner, as I
know what is going on all the time I?
Well said the attorney, you are the
most remarkable man ever heard of.

you are walking?' Il don't know that

Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the account given
in these columns of the ropbing of the grave OF
the Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last May, the
body being found in the dissecting -room Of the
Ohio Medical College. Public Indignation Justly
brands any man as q scoundrel who will rob
the grave of the dead. But there are two noted
grave robbers in this country, so far from being
the subject Of the peoples wrath, are univers-
ally lauded for their virtues. The reason is
plain. While the former class steal the dead
bodies of our loved ones to submit them to the
dissecting knife, these only rob the graves to re-
store the living victims to our hearts and homes
Their names-Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery' and Pleasant Purgative Pellets-are
household words the world over. The Golden
Medical Discovery cures consumption, in its
early stages, and all bronchial, throat and lung
affections; Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the
most valuable laxative and cathartic.

high ground near her, which she did
just in time to see an immense rattle
snake flying toward her face. She
quickly threw her head to one side, and
it shot over her shoulder, striking its
loathsome body against her cheek. A
scream from her attracted the attention
of her husband near by, who ran up
and pulled her out of the way just as
the snake had coiled itself for another
spring. He then killed the snake,
which was large one, sporting ten rat
ties. Mrs. Hegarty suffered consider

Adventure With a Snake.

On Monday of last week, while a
party of persons were gathering berries
on Bear run, in Pike township, Clear
field county, Mrs. John Hegarty, who
resides near Curwensville, had an adj
venture with a rattlesnake which will
not soon be effaced from her memory.
She was standing on a clear spot at the
foot of slight rise of ground, and when
her attention was attracted by buzz
ing noise she thought it was an insect
of some kind and never thought of q
rattlesnake until the noise among the
bushes caused her to look toward the

The War Developing Russia,

The Manchester (Eug) Examiner pub.
fishes letter from an English traveller in
Russia, who takes a decidedly optlmst
view of the condition Of ufflirs in thai
empire. He says; "When the war af-
tcc'ed the resources of the treasury, pay-
mcatS in gold Of all duties upon imported
goods were instituted. This for brief
moment brou hit some help to the govern
ment, but speedily reacted upon the de.
mund for foreign goods, so that imuorta.
! non diminished rapidly. As importation
OF foreign goods ceased, the home manu-.
iacturc Immensely increased, aud IA rapid
development WAS given to the Internal re.
sources OF the country. The exports of
grain, tallow, timber, etc, being paid in
gold, fetched u much higher rouDle pIice
than ever BEFORE and as the paper money
had not deprecated in the cOuutry, ths
buying power Of the agricultursts
and all connected Herewith RAPIDLY
increased. Again, AS articles II lux.
ury became excessively high, owing to
low exchange and duties payable ia gold.
the demand rapidly diminished. Instead
of champagne aud French wines, beer
Was substituted, and breweres in all di-
rections are being erected. The fashions.
too, have changed. Everything Russian
is now demanded instead of reign pro-
ductions. R.trenchment among all classes
is most manifest, and the usual extrava.
gances so characteristic of Russians have
received great check. Wealthy Rus
SLAMS are well known as great travellers.
They now stay at home. The sudden
closing up of external resources has
caused the spirit of enterprise for the in
ternal development to spring up, and
Russia is on the way to find that she may
supply herself with more of the necessi-
ties than she ever dreamt of. This is i'm
mensely aided by the network of railroads
now in full operation in Russia. Daring
the Crimean war she had not 500 miles Of
railways, all told. She has now about
$4,000 miles. There has recently been
great development of the gold workings
in the Ural. Formerly the washings of
the sands of brooks and rivers were the
only sources, now they are working out
the solid deposits to great advantage. In
case of II long war, no starvation or ahject
misery could befall an empire like Russia.
The people could at least exist, for the COM
mon necessities of life are abundant.
The woman and children form great
portion of the til lers OF the soil There

wasteful style of farming does not much

Blighted hopes. and griefs, and Fears

Something more than adverse blast
Has been ours. Life's sunny side

Not one half this timo appears,
In the bliss of twenty years,
Glodsou was sweet childhood days;
Not one cloud to dim therays,
That shone DER us in the past
But they were too bright to last;
Lights and shadows, smiles and tears,
Is the lot OF twenty years.
Friends were many, foes were few,
Hearts had neverproyed untrue,
And our path was strewn with flowers,
In those bright and happy hours;
When we think OF this, it cheers
