PREDICTIONS ABOUT 1880 10 1857
In a pamphlet recently published the
author, Professor Grimmer. asserts :
"From 1880 TO 1887 will be one univer-
sal death" Asia will be depopulated,
Europe nearly so, America will lose fif-
teen million people. Besides plague,
We are TO have stoims andtidal waves,
mountains are TO "toss their heads
through the choicest valleys" nav:ga-
tors will be lost by thousands owing 10
the "capricious defexures of the mag
netic needle" and islands will appear
and disappear in mid-ocean. All the
beasts, birds, and fishes will be diseased;
famine and civil strife will destroy most
OF the few human beings left alive by
plague; and finally, "tso years OF FIRE
from 1885 to lSS7-will rage with
fury in every part Of the globe. In
1887, the "Star OF Bethlehem will ''re
appear in Cassiopia's Chair, the imme-
date results being universal war and
portentious floods and shipwrecks. n.
America is again 10 be involved in civ
il war, unless Napoleon arises to quell
it; but during these terrible days the
Pacific States will be veritdblo Para
disc OF Peace compared TO the hellish
strife that will be waging throughout
tie world" The few people that may
manage 10 survive till 1887 will have
reason 10 be thankful.

DR.. w. f. Fundenberg, The skilliul
oculist and aurist of Cumberland, Md,
who at presen. is spending the first
three days Of the week with us, or
Wednesday last removed the left eye of
Mrs. Hare Of this place, the operation
being performed with his usual skill
and proved entirely successful. Our
DR.. 5. S. Good assisted. Mrs. Hare
states that the eye was injured nineteen
years ago, but she felt no evil effects re-
sulting thereirom until recently, when
the sight of the other eye began to fail,
rendering the removal Of the injured
member imperative. After the opera
ton it was found that portion OF the
eye had turned into bone. AS soon as
the patient is fully recovered an artiti-
cial eye will be inserted. We under
stand that DR.. Fundenberg has scores
of patients attracted by his great repu
ta,ion and really successful treatment
