Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side. under the edge

Symptoms OF a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the left side ;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the Shout
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ough.
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold OF
burning, and he complains of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied thc,
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of thc
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER &c
have been extensively deranged.

Frank Bassett. the accomplice of Mra. AlexaAder in the murder of "Stuttering Jack" at Bridgeport, has been convicted of murder in the second degree. As in the Cobb case and many others, the verdict is simply ridiculous It is not supported eli ther by law or fact. If he was guilty Of anything he was guilty of murder in the first degree. The jHry could just as well have found him guilty of burglary as of murder in the second degree.

The Sfeigh.rid e.
BY AN EYE WITNESS.


 A few days ago the boys of Elmwood began talking of having big sleigh ride. and inviting all the girls they knew to ga with them. Alter gleat deal of debating, It was arranged to have it Tuesday, as we thought if We waited any longer, the snow would all be gone but instead of going, it did just the opposite, showing SO hard that We had to postpone the ride. We all went to bed Tuesday night, not bemoaning our bad luck, but all the more joyful, as We thought it would be better tomorrow. The next morning we woke up to a day of dis appointment; although it was very nlce day until half-past two, just half an Lour before we were to start; then 1t began to rain so hard that we had to give up The ride second time and seek refuge in the house. The old saying, ''l'hird time never fails" proved true; the next day, (Tnurs. day), being just the height of perfection for the best sleigh-ride your eyewitness ever had. The morning broke with all its splendol (and to make matters shOri), We did the best we could to kill time until we were to start, and can assure you we suc- ceeded admiral y. Jus, as the old clock in he parior was striking three, we started for the Warner House and Mir. Gillette's, which were the places where we were to meet the sleighs. We were very agreeably surprised 10 meet both the sltighs opposite the Town Hall, as it saved quite good deal of walk ing. After picking up the young laGies at Canaan, we started for East Canaan where we were to make up the rest of our load Time, as you are aware. goes velY quickly in the presence of young ladies, ard SO il did that afternoon on the way to Norfolk it seemed a very short time before we were there. After staying about half an hour, driving around the park and looking about the old town, we started for home. After leaving Norfolk We opened some can dy packages which kind friends had fur nished us before starting, and as there were a number ot notices, we had a good dea of fun with them. On the way back il was found that if we went straight home we would get there too early, So we came round by the way of Ashley Falls. Wher we got back to Canaan the whole party landed at Elmwood, few who were farthest from home remaining for supper. After supper we played one ol two games which were very interesting. Then one of the boys gave us some music and one of the young ladies favored us with some excellent selections. All iht twenty were at their homes before nine o'clock, but the pleasant memories vii scarcely be bound,d by the limits oi time. l. ITNEss.

Beautiful Extracts.

 The ever advancing waves of human thought seem to be washing creeds away. What shall we do if their doom be inevit- ablef Are not absolute truth and goodness invulnerable proof against the assaults of skepticism Let society. while it is yet to- day, speedily make them their trust and refuge.
 There IS great beauty in the spectacle of . man. uuconsclous of mortal observation, engaging in secret devotion. We feel at once like trusting him with our purse. But what of him. who, in pubic makes har- angues which may be or may Lot be pray ersf The best virtue of those horizontal petitions, polished for the applaudinR ear is brevity.
 Go to the anc,ent leaf and see charity de- fined, then tell us which is most beautiful the virtue described or the description thereof.
 If you would go on fools errand, run to the rescue of your neighbor and tell him that he rejects your doRmatism at his peril.
 As power not directed hy goodness tends to despotism, so woman is more or less the victim of her weakness. Only as men grow better will justlce alleviate her lot. With her the worlds improvement IS an object of weighty self-interest.

The treasury of the Village Improve meDt Assoclation is now in a satisfactory condition, al d if they don't know what to do with thelr money, we may be pardoned for venturing suggestion. A great 'vil- lage improvement" would be the 6iing in and grading of that hollow near Ptauig- ney's. As number of the leading spirits of the association have teams, and would no doubt willingly contribute their services for day or so, to that object and some of cur citizens would doubtless give their own services out of local pride ln the appear ance of tbeir town, and labor was ne1er SO cheap as at present, the expense would not be greatz-and then the difference ID the ap. pearance of the very heart of the village! Imagine that gravel-pit nicely graded and mantled with a luxuriant growth of yel~ dure few (say dozen or twenty) orna- mental shade tr, es arranged in tasty order; rustic arbor in the centre, with few rough benches and chairs scattered about, and what happy contrast to tbe present state of affairs. There are, of course, some old dlsgrunted croakers wllo will inr evitaby whine "Its all well enough to talk" and harp on the impractic ability of the scheme. Of these we would ask, what in th' ir stingy judgment it would cost to bring about such desideratum if the de- tails were submitted to the management of a shrewd Gnarcier and furthermore if the expense incurred would not be more than counterbalanced by the satisfaction of be- holding that barren waste, which has so long been an eye-sore to the people of the place, and an object of disgust to the re- fined passing traveller, metamorphosed into ,"a thing of beauty and joy forever"

Preservation of Exx9.

The Journal Of the Medical Acndemv of
Turin Gays: "The sure and simple method
OF keeping eggs sound by smearing
the shells with llnseed oil has long been
practiced. The oil forms sort OF finn
over the she'll, thereby prventing the two
immediate causes of decomposition
evaporation from and penetration of air
into the egg. A recent experiment
in point deserves notice. A
dozen new-laid eggs were rubbed over
with linseed oil applied with the tip of
the finger; another dozen were coated IN
like manner with poppy oil; two more
eggs were left in their natural state. The
whole twenty. six were then laid close to-
gether, in three lows, on dry sand upon a
shelf, where they were left undisturbed.
At the end Of three months they were
weighed, and again at the end of six
months when they were opened. The
two eggs left in their natural state at the
end of three months had lost II per cent
OF their wei ight, and at the end of six
months Is per cent, and were found to be
half empty and the contents rotten. the
eggs coated with poppy oil in three
ments lost 2 per cent, and in six months
4 Ia per cent, of their weight. The eggs
were still full, and devoid of unpleasant
smell. The eggs rubbed over with lin
seed oil in three months lost per cent,
and in Elk months 8 per cent. of their
weight, and when opened were found to
be full, with the smell of fresh eggs"

darkness overhead; the bright flashes
and the great shadows that swallowed
them up; and the hens that nodded and
blinked on the scaffolding, and the one
fool of rooster that kept growing. think
ing that the morning had come; and the
huge pile of yellow ears that grew and
grew kin size; and the greater pile of
straw-colored husks that were thrown
backward and pushed out until they
blocked the great barn doorway; and
the sleepy cattle in the stalls that looked
stupidity but benevolently out at the
strange goings on; and the red ear !-how
the young fellows wished the red ears
were thicker; and the chasings and the
tumblings through the rafting husks :;
and the screams and laughter. I know

'front.' OF the Driving Park exchange, ON the
corner Of Grand avenue and Sixteenth street.
While thus standing, converting with Mr..
1onna, colored man named Marx Ellis
came from the back part of tho saloon, and
crowdng his way out, remarked as he rushed
past Ar. Johns and myself, Leave the way
OF clear the way Johns stepped to ono
s'de: saying as he did 80, Who are you
talking tor Ellis replied, very saucily,
None OF your id business.' Johns then
saad, If you are talking to meyou had better
leave here.' Ellis remarked, 4 don't want
anything to do with the damned white trash,
anyhow Johns fred up at this and said,
You 60 away from here,' or You get away
from here Ellis then turned about aud
responded to Johns, I'm better man than
you are, and I'll wipe the sidewalk with you.'
he then jumped into the street and gathered
up rock, with which he menaoed Johns,
saying, as he drew back his arm as if to
throw the stone, 'You Cd id s-n h-b,
LII kill you. Johns, who was within about
three feet of Ellis at the time, drew his pis-
tol and threw it down as if he designed
striking Ellis over the head with it, but as he
did SO, report followed, and Ellis fell in
staatly to the ground, dead. I took Johns
to my house near by, and kept him there
for short time, then sent for hack and
had him conveyed to the county marshal's
Office, where he gave himself up."
