An unexpected gloom has been cast over this
office by the sudden death Of Benz F. Kolb, one
of our apprentices. He worked until night Of
Monday, complaining somewhat of cold and
sore throat but he did not think this was at all
serious ard as he neither expressed desire for
any medical attendance, or friendly care during
the night, nor was either thought necessary
On retiring rather soon after supper at his
boarding place which was with the foreman of
the Office he took dover's powder TO produce
Precipitation and break up the cold. He slept
alone during the night and on the morning of
Tuesday not replying to the call for breakfast,
Mr.. Cosper went to his room and found him
dead in bed. Dr. Rcber was Immediately sum-
moned, but it was too late. 1t is prssdmed that
he had died but short time before he was
found. On Wednesday morning his body was
taken to Mifflin and on Thursday he was buried

the town purchased silver plate for the coffin

Should an eruption occur in this volcano,
and cause the destruction Of one.half of the
inhabitants who live in the vicinity, the
remainder who barely escape with their
lives, immediately move back upon the half
cooled lava, and there live in constant fear
Of another eruption, foolishly fancying that
the only tenantable portion OF the earth rests
within the shadow OF the great volcano
This fairly illustrates the force of habit, and
the persistency with which people cling to
opinions when once formed. For example,
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery cures
incipient consumption, coughs, colds, and all
affections of the liver and blood, yet some
still depend upon physicians and remedies
that have naught but repeated failures to
which they can refer. And although Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is sold under
a positive guarantee to cure those weak
nesses peculiar to women, and notwithstand.
ing that thousands Of women bear testimony
TO its efficacy, aud the truth Of all statements
made concerning it, many yet submit to the
use OF caustic and the knife. Again, DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, no larger
than mustard seeds, will positively cure con-
stipation, where it is dependent upon dys.
pepsia or torpid liver vet some still depend
FOR relief upon the "blue pill" or huge
doses Of drastic cathartic medicine. In the
face Of such facts, can we wonder at the
blindness of the poor Italians ?"

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief
cause OF its disorder, 1t is evident that what
the bilious require is an Alternative stimulant
which will arouse it TO activity. an effect that
is followed by the disappearance of the vari-
Gus symptoms indicative of its arrangement.
Hostetters Stomach Bitters invariably
achieve the primary result mentioned, be-
sides removing the constipation, hatulence,
heartburn, yellowness of the skin and whites
Of the eyes, pain in the right side and under
the right shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick
headache, to which bilious nvalids are pecu-
liarly subject. As remedy for chronic
indigestion, mental despondency, and nerv.
business, the Btters are equally efficacious,
and as renovant of lost vigo-, a means OF
arresting premature decay, and source Of
relief from the infirmities to which the gen
tler sex is peculiarly subject, they may be
thoroughly relied upon.
