Peabody, must present q requisitioh from
one of the above named associations.
This requisition must be signed by q
member of, and must bear the stamp of,
one OF these associations. This is re-
quired because impositions have already
been attempted. 1t is Incredible that
people can become SO debased as to try
to swindle the needy for gain of few
cents worth of food. To show the
great need of food I only have to. say,
that during the last few days over AZ, 900
rations have been issued on acquisitions.
Besides this, the PickwickT Club has
established dietetic dispensary, whence
are issued soups for the sick and con-
valescent. Every man is doing his duty,
and we are still hopeful of an abatement

The saddest news received here for
many q day was that of the death Of
Major Butler. P. Anderson. It does
seem that a maa who did so much good
for suffering humanity as he did ought
to have lived to enjoy the consciousness
Of duty done. 1t is truly an inscrutible
Providence that removes such q man at
time when his usefulness was mostly
to be felt. He will be sadly missed, and
it will be long before the vacancy caused
by his death will be filled.

Mistaken Identity.

An incident occurred during the down
trip of the steamer D. NJ. Wilson, last
week, which is worth o place in history.
1t is customary for this vessel on her
upward trip to leave a portion Of her
fuel at Wilson'S dock ON the Sault Riv-
er, to be taken aboard again after she
passed the canal locks on her return
from Marquette. She had finished tax
lug on coal and all hands had turned in
to wait for daylight, leaving solitary
Waterman in charge of the deck. Mat
tiers being quiet, that worthy removed
all of his upper garments and was tax
ing bath, In the darkness he heard o
foOtstep, and recognized q familiar old
Newfoundland dog who has long been
a member of the household at the land
ing. "Well, old jack" said he, " are
you hungry? Wait minute and III get
you bOne," at the same time patting
his shaggy coat. The next moment a
scream of unearthly character brought
every body on deck to discover that the
visitor was nothing less than an enorm-
GUS bear. The scene that ensued beg
CARS description; indeed, it is only by
comparing numerous statements that
any thing like the truth can be arrived
at. Deeds of daring were performed
that rival the records Of Arnold Wink
elreid or Israel Putnum, according to
the narrators; but this being one of
those occasions where absence of body
is vastly preferable to presence of mind,
the scene closed with most of the dram
ats persona in airy costume, half way
up the rigging, and Ursus Major MAX
ing his way ashore, with an axe-wound
deep in his shoulder. The deck of the
vessel bore marks of the blood of the
conflict on her arrival at this port.
There was little sleep on steamer or
consort during the remainder of the
night. The bear was undoubtedly a
large one which had been observed
across from the Canadian
side the day Observation-Disclosures

A Female Hermit.

Old Mother Dildine, the female her
NIT who lives in the mountains about
fifteen miles northwest of town, says the
Sutro Independent, made her semi-an-
nual visit to Sutro on last Wednesday
to sell few eggs and lay in q scanty
supply of groceries and other provisions.
In conversation she seemed quite self
possessed and intelligent. She says she
will be sixty years old next October
that she has lived alone in the noun
tains now for twelve years, and thst she
is perfectly happy in living secluded
from the outside world. Her only sup
port is that which she derives from 26O
Angora goats and eight hens. She says
she is seldom visited by the whites, and
prefers never to see one about her
premises, for in nearly every instance
they tease her about her mode of living,
and after their departure she worries
over their; conduct towards her. She
likes the Piutes, and even seeks their
companionship They have never yet
seen her in need but that they would
shoot some rabbits or kill a few birds
for her relief, and in cold weather have
even shared the warmth Of their blankets
with her. In height this singular wom-
an is about Eve feet six inches, and in
actions sprightly. Her dark auburn
hair lies IN wayelets about her forehead,
and hangs about her head in long curls.
Her dress is neat, and in no way con-
forms with that she is reported to wear
in the mountains. She IS q native of
Massachusetts, and has two brothers
living in Westport, in that state, and 3
sister living in Lowell. Her living q
recluse was brought about by troubles
in her married life years ago.-Nrginia

FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor Of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it superiority over all rem
ed es ever offered to ths public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure If
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In al great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured BY a single bottle, with per-
feet restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, ii its useis continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-stauding cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose Of
BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will
be sufficient.
The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must
have DR. JOHN BULBS private stamp on each
bottle. DIR. JOHN BULL only has the right to
manufacture and sell the original JOHN ].
Examine well the label on each bottle. If my
private stamp is not on each bottle, do not
purchase, or yoa will be deceived.
