Squire Drady's C0urt.

Mr.. Patrick O'Brisn who resides or
E. Fifth street adjoining Bakers Mo.
rocco Factory, brought suit before
Esquire Brady against Mr.. Baker for
maintaining nuisance. The trouble
arose from lot of offensive matter
oozing from the wall of O'Brien's Gel
lar, which the latter claimed came from
the Morocco factory. The evidence
showing that the cellar of the factory
was several inches lower than that of
Mr.. O'B. and therefore the matter
could not have come from that source,
the Squire dismissed the case. Dur
ing the hearing O'Brien called one
witness liar and was promptly fined
for contempt.
The same magistrate held Anthony
W. Davis, of Browntown, in 5000 for
Court for assaulting Frank Davis.

CATEGORICAL.
An Inquest the Coroner didn't
Hold - The Mysterious Bundle
and its Contents.

This morning about o'clock gen.
tiemen coming down King street near
the new Court House, noticed a bum
die lying at the bottom of a hole from
which the old supply pipes had been
taken. Reaching down with his cane
he tore the wrapping slightly. and be-
hold through the aperture he espied
bunch Of black hair. That was
enough, he Immediately skipped for the
Coroner's office, and informed that func.
tionary Of his discovery, and the latter
with his official experience in such mat
ters knew just exactly what it was
without seeing the bundle, and imme-
diately sent word to his Lieutenant,
Undertaken Palmer, to come up imms.
diateiy, as the body of a colored child
had been found on King street.
Mr.. Palmer is noted for the celerity
of his action, but on this occasion he
even surpassed himself, and very few
minutes elapsed ere his fiery steed
drew up before the Coroner's door. The
Coroner hastily jumped into the car
riage and away sped the pair. In
the meantime the news had spread and
quite crowd had assembled in the Vi
cinity Of the mysterious package anx-
iously awaiting developments. Just as
the carriage containing the Coroner
and his aid-de-camp turned the corner
several prominent citizens might have
been seen darting behind convenient
stone piles to avoid being summoned on
the jury.
The carriage dashed up to the spot,
out sprang the officials, it was but the
work of a second for Mr.. Palmer to op-
en- his pen knife and jump into the
hole. Others might have hesitated
but not he. Here was the dead body
of an infant hid away-perhaps muir
der had been coNmitted-the mystery
must be unraveled, the strings around
the bundle were cut, the wrap
ping removed and out rolled what !?
why the body of an antiquated Thomas
cat. Deputy Palmer slowly crawled
out of the hole, and followed
the Coroner who had already entered
the carriage, and to add to their con-
fusion, just at this juncture, there
came from open window opposite, the
voice of Pinafore-struek young lady,
sweetly warbling.
"Oh yes, it is the cat"

HYDROPHOBIA.
A Cure that should be Universally y
Known and Tried.

In the month of January last We pub
lishsd card from DR.. Edward Singley,
residing at Kelton, Chester co., Pa, in
which the Doctor spoke at length OF
Lobelia as a preventive and cure for
hydrophobia. During the past summer
the remedy has several times been tried
according to the directions laid down
by DR.. Singley, AID each time we
believe the best results have followed.
We give below synopsis of the card
alluded to as we wish our. numerous
readers to have the benefit Of whatever
virtue there is in IL:
The chief remedy for this dreaded
malady is Lobelia Infata, which stands
unrivalled in power and safety as an
anti-spasmodic and counter. poison.
The saturated tincture {that is, as
strong as can be made) of the powdered
leaves and pods, or an infusion made
by pouring half a pint of quite hot
water on about an ounce of the powder
steep twenty minutes, strain and
sweeten. OF this or the tinctura give
to an adult one teaspoonfnl every
twenty minutes until the desired ef-
feet has been produced. Ii from any
cause the patient ia unable to swallow,
give by enema, one tablespoonful mixed
in half pint of warm water, to be re-
tanned until the first vomiting. when it
should be discharged, but If it should
pass from the bowels directly after be-
ing given, it will be necessary to re-
peat it. Its effects should be vomiting
and cessation Of spasms.
Bear in mind that to overcome the
rabid symptoms is the object in point,
and when that is reached give only a
teaspoonful at intervals Of several
hours, to prevent relapse, but not so
as to continue the vomiting. 1t is neces-
sary while passing through this process
that the patient be furnished with plen-
ty of lot stimulating teas to aid vomit-
ing, and with the adjunct of not sub
stances surrounding the body and feet
so as to produce copious and continued
perspiration, as there is much of the
deadly virus in the blood discharged
through the pores.
If a relapse should take place, re.
peat the course. So much for the
treatment of the disease after it is de-
veloped. II we accept as a truth the
trite maxim that prevention is better
than cure," or that which will cure a
disease, will also prevent 1t, then we
can see the primary Importance of pur-
suing an active course Of preventive
measures.

The Whole Gang Against Him.

Florence Benson, bright mulatto
maiden of some seventeen Indian sum-
mers, preferred a charge of assault and

vocation David had knocked her down.
Several witnesses corroborated Florence,
and when His Honor asked David

Death OF q noted Divine.

At .he family residence Hopkins,
vile, KY, Sept. 30th, 1879, in his 18th
year, the Rev. Gideon B. Perry, D. D.
L. j. D., late rector of Grace Episcopal
Church in that city; formerly rector Of
Trinity Church, Natchez, Miss, first
rector of St. Paul's, Cleveland, Ohio; for
some time at Grace Church there, and
founder of St. James Parish Cleveland
also. The Rev. DR.. Perry was the last
surviving Kinsman cotemporary OF
Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the
hero of the battle of Lake Erie. Both
were natives of South Kingston, Rhode
Island, and both born under the same
roof: the Rev. DR.. on Oct. 18th, 1900,
some years junior of the other. DR..
Perry for more than fifty-seven years
in the Christian Ministry, was prom
inent divine Of the Church, and stood
high, especially for force and pulpit
eloquence. The Rev. Henry G.. Perry,
Of the Episcopal City Clergy, Chicago,
is a son of the deceased. The Rev.
DR.. Perry leaves family, his widow
and three children surviving him.

Curing n snake Bite.

A Massachusetts, newspaper says
"Bennett Aldrich, of Montgomery, was
bitten by a rattlesnake some three
weeks ago, when full Of liquor. Since
that time he has drank q gallen OF
liquor day, and he says he has ex-
perienced no unpleasant effects from
the bite, excepta severe swelling OF the
bitten foot" Quite likely. A man
who drinks gallon Of whiskey every
day for three weeks is hardly going to
Ind it out, even If there are unpleas-
ant effects. Snakes in the boots versus
snakes in the grass constitute varia-
ton Of homeopathy which probably
did not occur in the foundries Of that
school.

part you have acted at the last. You
have my best wishes for your success"
Mr.. lngraham was at first very angry
at Dram Dinsmore's detection, but when
Dot said decidedly, +" I would not have
married hlmsif | had remained single all
my life" he determined to give up try
ing. to direct the course of true love,
making virtue of necessity, yet think
ing himself all the while model father.
Dot was willing that her father should
please himself with this delusion SO long
as ne withdrew his opposition to Philips
coming to the house.
When a few months after, the real
helress, Miss Dorothy Ingraham, appear
ed upon the scene, uncharitable persons
said that Mr.. Dinsmore had known of
the mistake.
But Kate Belmont, his betrothed wife,
mas the pleasant consciousness that she
had won his heretofore mercenary heart
while he thought Dot the true heiress,
and that he valued one glance of her
bright eyes more than he did the whole
OF Dots supposed thousands.
The real testatrix was very much
taken with her young namesake and
would not consent to take more than
half the property. The mistake about
her legacy has been the means of draw
ing her into the society of young rela-
tive OF whose existence she would other
wise nave been ignorant. It has proved
very pleasant to her in her old age to
nave such a treasure trove of warm
human affection bestowed upon her, for
young Dorothy loves her aged cousin
very dearly, and is never better pleased
than when entertaining her in her pretty
home, for she is now Mrs Philip Bertram,
and the happiest little matron under the
sun.
