and believes that in a short time
his hearing will be entirely restored.
Mr.. WhiteselPs face does not show
any material change, but he does
not suffer a particle from pain, as
heretofore. He states that Mr..
Miller told him that he would be
entirely cured in a few days, the
diseased parts would slough off,
and that the sore would rapidly
heal. The sloughing off has al-
ready commenced, and no power on
earth can make Mr.. Whitesell be-
lieve that he will not get well.
Messrs. Brown and Whitesell tell
of some remarkable cures they wit
messed while at Mr.. Miller's house.
They tell of an old lady whose
hands were entirely clenched, and
her limbs doubled up, from rheuma-
tisun, entirely cured in a very few
minutes. Also, of little boy, al.
most totally blind, being restored
in as short a time as it takes to
tell the tale. Numbers of people go
to see this wonderful man every
day, and return home entirely cured.
Mr.. Miller told these gentlemen
that Philadelphian had offered
him $4,000 to travel with him one
year. His reply was that he would
not travel one day for that amount.
He makes no charge, and will re.
ceive no compensation for his ser
vices. He says that it Is God who
performs the work, through him,
and that he is not entitled to any
thing.
While speaking of this wonder
full man, we will! relate what DIR.
Mcconnell, the present member of
delegates from Scott county, told
us, short time ago, about q mar
velous cure of one of bis patients, a
lady who had not been out of her
room for many years, and could not
walk a step. Hearing of Mr.. Mill
er, the doctor put her on bed in a
wagon and sent her to him. TO hia
surprise, for he had> little faith in
Miller, she returned home on foot,
walking as we'll as she ever could.
"This," said the doctor, 'came un-
der my own observation, and can
vouch for it.".-[Selma (Va.) Reg

The Raymond RascaIity.

Cincinnati Commercial: "The
disreputabie woman who has been
prowling around Washington with
a baby IL her arms, and pretending
that Senator Hill Is the father OF
the child, took the cars yesterday
for home. The insinuation Is made
that HIPS friends paid the woman
to 20, but the probability is that
the rascals who put her up TO mis-
chief were alarmed and helped her
TO take flight. The reputation OF
the woman In Georgia and her con-
duct in Washington are sufficient.
No honest or decent man or woman
should countenance such a scandal.

Mrs. Lockwood had not taken it up
through fierce ciedulity and mis-
taken sense Of compassion.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula
for simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure for Con-
sumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asth a
and all throat and lung affections, --aso
a positive and radical cure for Nervous
Debility and all nervous complaints, af-
ter having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt it
his duty to make it known to his suffer
ing fellows. Actuated by this motive
and a desire to relieve human suffering,
I will send free of charge to ali who de-
sire it, this recipe, in German, French
or English, with full directions for pre-
pairing and using. Sent by mail by ad-

the neighboring sutures. Besides

the neighboring sutures. Besides
the injury to the skull there was q
loosening of the teeth and such in
jurles of the jaws that the patient
was unable to open his mouth for
more than three weeks. Mr.. Davis
was carried to his home, in the vi
cinity of the mill, and DR.. 1. G,
Young of Kingston, was immedi-
ately summoned. On an examina-
tion of the wounds they were pro.
nounced necessarily fatal. DR.. ID.
H. Agnew, Professor of Surgery in
the University of Pennsylvania, was
called in consultation, and he
agreed with DR.. Young that the
LESSONS were of such a nature that
these was no hope of saving the
mans life, but that while there was
life there was something to work
for, and everything was done which
the feelings of humanity and surgi-
cal skill could suggest. On the
third day after the accident anoth-
er consultation was held by DR.
Young and Professor Agnew, but
there were no new Developments oi
the case from which they could
gather any hope, and it was not un-
til about the expiration of the fifth
week that any encouragement was
given. In about nine weeks the
wound was closed by soft tissue,
and a few months later about one
half the cavity was closed by a new
bonV formation, and the remaining
pait is now covered with, soft It's
sue, through which the pulsations
of the brain are plainly visible.
Notwiths landing the great dan
ger impending over Mr.. Davis for
so many months he has entirel y re-
covered his physical powers. His
mental characteristics, although
materially changed, are considered
by the physicians wonderfully good
when the facts of the case are taken
into consideration. The remarka
BILE features of this case can better
be understood when the fact is con
sidered that out of nine similar
cases reported in the Medical and
Surgical History of the Late War
all proved fatal, and there is but
one well-authenticated case ap
preaching this in apparent hope
lessness which resulted in the re
covery of the patient-being that
of DR.. Harlow, referred to in the
second volume of "Gross' Surgery" J"
in which the pstient apparently
regained his accustomed mental
aud physical condition, and lived
twelve years after having tamp-
ing-iron, weighing thirteen pounds,
propelled by prematurely explod
ed blast from the base TO the top of
the skull, completely through the
anterior part of the brain. Mr.. Da-
Wis has preserved the fragment
loosened from his skull, and fire.
quently carries it about with him in
his pocket.

A Remarkable Man.

There lives a man in Scott county,
by the name of Miller, who, it is
said. can cure any and all diseases
by simply laying his hand on the
afflicted portions Of the body and
repeating portions Of scripture ap-
plicable to the case. Having seen
an account, in a recent number OF
the Bristol News, OF the remarkable
man, Messrs. Frank Brown and
Peter Whitesell, OF this place, the
former afflicted with deafness and
the latter with cancer, last week
paid Mr.. MilleI visit, in order to
be healed. They have both re
turned. and are ia high spirits over
their trip. Mr.. Brown claims to
b ear almost as well as he ever did,

Names and Weights of Bells.

Names were given to bells as
early as the year 968, when the
great bell of Lateran Church was
named John XIII. in honor of that
pontiff. The ancient custom of
ringing the bell as the priest went
with the sacrament to the departing
soul lasted for centuries. The bells
of Moscow, Russia, are famous
among all those of Christendom.
In one tower of that city there are
thirty seven bells, and they con
tinue to ring during the whole OF
Easter week. The great bell of
Moscow, which fell and was broken
In the fire in 1887, weighed 443,7
pounds. The metal is said to be
worth 100000. The Gear Nicho-
las took it out of pit in the Krem
lin 1887, and mounted it on a gran
ite pedestal. The peasants visit it on
festival days, as they do churches,
and as an act of devotion. The
bells of China are famous. In Pc
Kin are said to be several bells
weighing each 10000 pounds or
more. A bell taken from the dragon
psgoda of Rangoor was said to be
worth $50, 900. The great bell OF
ST. PauPs, in London, weighs IL 500
pounds, and the great Tom of Ok
ford weighs 1900 pounds. In
1850 one placed in the cathedral at
Paris weighed $4,000 pounds, and
one at Vienna, cast in I'LL, weighs
10000 pounds. The Notre Dame
oell in Montreal, Canada, weighs
90, 400. Bells have been made OF
various metals. In France iron
was formerly used; in other parts
OF Europe brass was commonly
used. In Sheffield, England, the
manufacture Of cast steel bells was
introduced. But, as limited at the
beginning of this article, what sug
gested this topic was the idea that
our authorities might seriously con
slider.

Public Roads.

Public Roads.
Mr.. EDITOR :-Mudi mudi mud
Thus began the letter of your reg
ular and excellent corresponds n
from Aspen Hill a few weeks since
Miserable indeed was the condi
ton which wrung from this amia
bic man that cry of distress. 1
was, however, but the echo of the
wall that had gone up from every
tongue in the village for weeks
Lord, help US or we sink They
had, in fact, been sinking daily il
depths of mud before unfathomed
fearful depths. r
But the pluvious clouds no longer
pour down their floods, anG old Sol
with his vernal rays, has bridged
the muddy chasms, and all is Sc.
rene. 1t is true the numerous tenn
porary streams that course theii
way along the centers of our roads,
for the want of q LITTLE labor in
ditching, to protect then, have left
such washes and distractions as
lead US to wonder how their over
seers escaped the grand jury, but
we easily get over or around these
minor obstacles, and viii soon for
get the terrors of the past winter.
The season will pass. the opportu-
nifty will be lost as usual, and the
next winter will bring back the old
familiar mud holes, only larger and
deeper, in which our fathers floun
dered before the village had local
habitation and a name.
No wonder the people are de-
manding a better road law. They
have heard the testimony of the
public roads themselves, which are
testifying with a thousand tongues,
that this miserable condition is due
to the absence of an efficient law.
The tax law, which is unpopular,
by large majority, is yet faith
fully executed, whilst the road law,
the faithful execution OF which the
interests of the county demand, is
studiously evaded and disregarded I;
the overseer seeks only to escape
the penalties of the law, whilst the
public gives grudgingly the very
little it demands of them; all acqui
esce in its inequalities with scarcely
a dissenting voice, and bear the re-
proach of miserably bad roads
without murmur.
Good roads, which are possible to
US with such effort as our interests
demand, would enhance the value
of our land, the profits Of our labor,
cheaper and expedite transporta
tion, and immeasurably increase the
pleasures of travel, the comforts
and conveniences of country life,
and our social enjoyment. They
would stimulate our county pride,
and give US a better character
abroad, besides robbing our winters
of one of the sorest inconvenience
that attend them. Our citizens all
have an interest in this direction
that should unite them in the de-
mand for such law as will secure
good roads. We must have them,
and by delay we rob ourselves, and
acquiesce in a deprivation the last
winter, and their present condition
have scarcely taught US to appre-
ciate.
Public sentiment is a powerful
lever in the hands of the people,
and one they should freely use as
their interests prompts, and our
law makers generally have a great
respect for the voice of the "dear
people" and will obey with alacrity
its demands.
Yours with due regard,
Aspen Hill. OCCASIONAL.
