AN EYE REMovEp-With his usual

brated Oculist of Cumberland, Md, re-
moved the left eye of Jacob Hause,

The history Of the case as We have
been able to gather it, is as follows:
About year ago MIR. Hause, while en-
gagged in mining, ruptured the left eye
internally by lnjudicious and expressive
lifting; 1t soon commenced eplargIug

and l at once went to him. He was in deep

him to escape from the circle that had
been drawn around him. IF that is the

General Lee then began to talk about the

GOOD ADVICE TO PARENTS

proper precautions are taken to regulate its
Diet and keep the system cleansed by appropri-
ate medicines. By this we do not mean an
habitual dosing" with purgatives. Such
practlce would weaken the infant system go
that 1t could not resist the attacks of disease
and would also prove runons to its physical
