"THE WOODS IS FULL OF EN-"

This expression is in frequent use in
this state, both In conversation and COM
position, and yet is origin is probably
known only to one in a thousand of those
who use it. A gentleman who claims to
know gave reporter for the News, Sat
urday, the following as the manner in
which it was first used:
In the neighborhood of Washington
Wayne county, lived a well known char
acter named Bill Dean. He was what is
generally termed ''smait AIeck'', al
ways endeavoring to perpetrate aJoke at
somebody's expense. One day, while
riding to Richmond, every foot of which
he knew, he espied an old gentleman
named Cheezum, accoutered for hunt,
earnestly looking up a tree. Approaching
him Dean asked:
'Can you tell me the way to Rich
mond ?"
''There was two of 'em run up this
tree was the response Of the old gen.
tleman, who was somewhat deaf.
Il didn't ask you anything about
squirrels. How far is it to Richmond %

4 TERRIBLE FIRE.

HAGEEsTowS, May % -About 20 clock
this morning fire was discovered in the
lower floor of the Washington House, in
this place. Before an alarm could be
given the fire had gained such Roadway
that the flames rushed up the stairway,
completely cutting off all escape There
were upwards of sixty persons on the
register beside the regular boarders,
nearly all of whom were compelled to
escape by climbing down the porch pill
lars Several of those who escaped in
this way sustained serious injuries bv
falling. One man made rope of his
bed clothing and attempted TO escape in
that way from the fourth floor. The
rope broke as he reached the third floor.
and he is now lying in Il very critical con-
dition. A child of the agent of the Cum
berland Valley Railroad, while climbing
down the porch from the fourth floor fell,
and is supposed to be fatally injured.
Two bodies have been found in the ruins
burned to crisp. One of them is that
of L. Troxel, of Cumberland, and the
other one is unknown. There are six
persons missing, supposed to be buried
III the ruins. Fifteen persons are injured
seriously from falling, and about twenty
are slightly injured

ED. STOKES AND JOAQUIN MIL
LER,

San Francisco letter: Among the no.
liabilities recently at the Palace Hotel
was Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier
ras. He seemed distressed both in body
aud mind. III crossing the plains he
had freqent attacks Of bleeding of the
lungs, while his mental troubles arise
from the attacks of his ex-wife, Minnie
Myrtle, upon him through the press.
As she is some one else's wife now he
thinks she might let him alone, espec-
tally as under the sorest provocation, he
has never said word in reply. His
daughter has got into some trouble, and
his ex-wife finds a willing press to aid
her III her malicious attacks on the now
sick and suffering poet. Among the
other prominent personages to be seen
around the bar-room of the Palace Hotel
is Ed. Stokes. the slayer of Jim Fisk.
Stokes is now quite gray, but he has
become stout, and looks rs though he
enjoyed life. [ understand that he is
engaged in mining in the Tuscarora dis
trict, and also interested in a stone pave
ment which is to be used in the fashion
able part of San Francisco.

Somerville, Mass, Dec. 6. 1876.
Messrs. Seth ". Fowle & Sons:
Gentlemen Last Spring my little
daughter, aged five, became very much
emaciated with loss Of appetite, and great
prostitution of strength, so much SO that
we were obliged to take her out of school.
This continued through the Summer and
caused US much anxiety. After trying
various remedies without deriving any
benefit, Our family physician recommend
ed the use of Peruvian Syrup. After
using it one week, we saw marked i'm.
provement in the child's condition, and
in a month she was rapidly gaining in
health and strength, her appetite being
excellent. At this date she is perfectly
well, with round, plump cheeks, and
healthy color, aud is again attending
school regularly. I consider her restora-
ton to health entirely dne to the Peruvian
Syrup, and feel that / cannot too highly
recommend it as tonic.
Very gratefully yours, Chas. II. Col
