Drunken and wicked parent often make these innocent ones, under pre- tence of disobedience or other causes the "scape goats" of their irritable passions and the mental and physical shocks received in childhood from terror and blows, bring on early decay and death, and are beyond the reach of law. Moral and Christian example and precept, with judicious correction, is suf- ficient with children, almost without excep- ton.

A mysterious animal has for some time annoyed the residents of Mill Plain, Danbury. The animal in question had not been seen by any calm-minded person, so it was difficult to determine the size. It's first onslaught was on calf belonging to Adam Ritchie, a great chunk of flesh being torn from the calf's side. Since then the animal has been seen several times. It is gray in color and about the size of wildcat. Parties have been formed to hunt for it, but without success. Mir. John Corry, who saw the animal Monday night, be- lieves it to be the prairie wolf which c. E. Grifing of Danbury brought from inc West when cub three years ago, and which he subsequently, gave to a party in Patterson, Y.

The Rich California Banker

When it became known that one of the
richest California bankers had left the Pa
cifc Coast and transferred his base of oper-
ations to the New York Stock Exchange
all the shrewd financiers watched his course
with keen interest to see how he would sue
ceed. The result has emphatically proved
the wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having much wider and more promising
field to operate in, he is known to have
been in several stock combinations that
paid immense profits. BY the combination
method of operating i'll stocks Messrs. Law
renee & Co., Bankers, New York, unite Or
ders of thousands of customers, in differ
ent sums into one vast capital, and operate
them as a mighty whole, dividing profits
pro rata among shareholders every thirty
days. Capital in any amount from $40 to
$1,000 can be used with great success in
these pools. $25 would pay $100 profit. $500
would make $1,000, or 10 per cent. on the
stock during the month. Messrs. Lawrence
& Co.'S new circular (mailed free) gives
"two unerring rules for success" and full

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is !he national complaint. Al
most every other man or woman you meet
has it, and the result is that the number of
pseudo-remedies for it is as numerous as
Pharaoh's hosts. They are for the most part
worthless. There is, however, searching
eradicant of this distressing and obdurate
malady, one whose genuine merits long
since raised it to foremost place among
the staple medicines of America. Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia
with greater certainty and promptitude
than any known remedy, and is a most
genial invigorant, appetizer and aid to Sc
cretion. These are not empty assertions,
as thousands of our countrymen and women
who have experienced its effects are aware,
but are backed up by irrefragable proofs
repeatedly laid before the public. The Bit
tiers also promote regular habit of body
and give healthful stimulus to the urina-
ry organs.

A Horse Beating a Railroad Train.

lAAN"'J NAA'J NN'o'J "SShiJ-1
Jim Wyatt glories in the ownership of a
horse that can beat the Central Railroads s
best schedule time. Last Friday night he
mounted negro on the animal in question,
and sent him to Lovejoy on an errand. Re-
turning, he was overtaken by the II oclock
through freight which so frightened the
horse that he became perfectly wild, and,
throwing his rider, struck down the rail-
road track like a streak of lightning with
the rapidly advancing train close upon his
heels. The engineer sounded the alarm
whistle, opened the steam-cocks, and
did everything else to frighten the already
terrified animal from the track, but failed.
He then pulled the throttle wide open,
thinking to overtake and knock him off;
but Pegasus gathered fresh strength as the
object of his terror approached, and, letting
himself out. soon left the locomotive far in
the rear. The race continued until Sunny
Side was reached, when he left the track,
having run the entire distance (nearly nine
miles) in less than forty minutes and beat
ing the train by several car-lengths. This
statement, incredible as it may seem, is
actually true, and will be vouched for by
reliable witnesses, the engineer among the
number.

Gen. Mites Indignation.


That infnitesimal speciman of human
ity, Gen. Mite, may be small in size, but he
appears to be possessed of very large
amount of dignity. On Friday last the
"Midgets," who were on exhibition in
Washington, had an engagement made for
them, without consultation on their part,
to call on Mr.. Hayes at the White House
When at the appointed time the manager
came to escort them to the executive man.
sion Gen. Mite and Lucia both "kicked in
the traces" and refused to honor with their
presence "fraud first triumphant in his
tory" The little General said he was a
Democrat, and he'd 'be ID if he stirred
a step''
