racket was heard In the livery stables OF
g. w. Zecher. Mr.. zecher and some OF
Of his men ran to 80 what wss the mat

find one Of the horses belonging to the
Adams express company lying down
with one Of it, hind fest wedged In il
mouth. Il required the united strength
Of several men, using levers, to Dry the
horses mouth open wide enough to get
the foot out, and before they succeeded
in doing 1t two Of the horses teeth were
Knocked out. The poor brute would
have strangled to death had he not been
promptly relieved; and it was nearly
half an hour before be could rise to hi
feet. It ID supposed that the horse
threw his foot forward In striking at the
hioA and at the Same time threw hia
head backward, biting at them, thu.
opening his mouth and putting his
foot In It." The entire hoof was in the
horses mouth, the teeth being sunk into
the hesh above the hoof, almost, II not
altogether, to the bone.-Lamcastey, Pa,

An Imp0rtant 0oeIogfcal Fact,

Geology has shown US that nature accom-
plishes her greatest revolutions in the earth's
surface conformation sl0Dly. Every year the
river makes its channel deeper, the glacier
wears . deeper gorge in the Alpine rock, and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has crum-
bled from the rocks upon which it breaks. We
note the earthquake and the devastating hur-
ricane; but these changes are 80 gradual man
seldom observes them until the channel has
become overhanging cliffs, or . mountain has
disappeared before the ICY stream, or the ocean
has given us . Florida Thus 1t is in disease.
Our attention is attracted by acute diseases, %
fevers, cholera, ETC., while chronic diseases
(often the most dangerous in result), being
slow in their development, are seldom noticed
until they have made an almost inefYaceable
impression upon the system. Persons believ-
ing themselves comparatively healthful are Oft
times the victims of these diseases, and only
become aware Of their presence when relief ID
almost impossible. Diseases of the liver and
stomach are the commonest Of these chronic
affections. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

They produce q healthful secretion OF the bile,
