The Gentle sex of Canada.

A country couple came into otto.
wa, Ont, the other day to get mar
ried. They walked 30 fast that the
loafers thought it was q go-as-you-
please match, and began to bet. AS
they reached the church, the
groom began to back out. She
tried all sorts of gentle arguments
and read him o lecture on the adj
vantages of the happy state but he
seemed to have made up his mind
that he wasn't In position to keep
family, and wouldn't be induced.
"Darn it, them" said the irrepressi-
Bile woman, "if that's what yer
skeered of, I'll keep the family my
self" But still he hesltated, and
the bride got mad. and took her
bonnet ana shawl off, and carefully
laid them OF the sidewalk. This
doue, she eyed him with the ferocity
of a Bengal tiger, and said: Look
here, JACK Sproale," are we TO be
spllced, or are we not?" The an
swer came in the negative, and then
she said: "You must be licked,
Jake" Then she pitched in and
gave Jake real old fashioned lick
ing. He didn't resist, and there's
no knowing what might have been
the result if policeman hadn't to-
terfered.

A Queer Little Beast /.

The Norwegian lemming is an ami
NAL about the size of q mouse. 1t
lives under stone in summer, under
snow in the winter. 1t Kisses and
bites. About once in ten years they
emigrate in large armies. They
march in straight line. They cross
lakes and rivers. They go straight
through hay stacks rather than go
around. Nothing stops them, not fire,
cascades or swamps. If man stands
in the way, they will jump at him as
high as his knees. If struck, they
will turn around and bark and bite
like dog. Foxes, lynxes, owls, hawks
and weasels will follow them and de.
stroy large numbers of them, but it
does not check them. They continue
their course until they reach the sea,
into which they plunge, as persistent
and progressive as ever, until the
waves drown and exterminate them.

Death of Joseph Atherton.
From the Prairie du Chen Courier.

From the Prairie du Chen Courier.
A week ago it was announced IN
the Courier that one of its esteemed
uld.time patrons-Joseph Asherton,
of Bridgeport-was stricken with
paralysis. The affiiction was severe
but hopes were entertained of his
recovery. However, he tailed steady
and died on the 9th day of Janu.
airy, 1880; and thus passed from
the scenes of earth another pioneer
of old Crawford county, and sin
cero, conscientious, honest man.
1.-THE deceased was born in Ches-
terrified, New Hamphire, in 1913. In
his early manhood he was engaged
in teaching school. He came to the
W est in 1888 and settled 10 Wiscon-
sin in 1910. On the 9th of Deeem-
Der, 1874, he was married to the
adopted daughter of the late Uncle
Elisha Warner, since which date he
has been engaged in farming near
Bridgeport. He has often been en-
trusted with public business for his
town and county, and uniformly
discharged bis duties with ability
and fidelity. He was close think
er, careful reader, and a thorough
student of passing events. In bis
intercourse and dealings with his
fellowmen he was governed by the
strictest honesty and integrity.
Unbigoted in any of the isms, he
was the advocate of equity ard JUS
tice in pubic as well as pri-
vate matters. The decsase was
kind and affectionate husband and
father, friend, and an excellent
citizen. His exit beyond the dark
confines of earth leaves Borrowing
family, aud has thrown pail of sad
ness over large circle of friends
and neighbors, with whom his
greetings were always warm aud
heartfelt. In bis death the last Of
the early settlers in the Bridgeport
district has gone. a deep shadow
falls upon the few Of bis early asso-
ciates who yet remain, when they
reflect tina. they, too, will soon drop
ont OF sight on earth.n

Grove assisted by DR.. f. Sloat of Mt. Hope
and Dr. G. F. Gay of Bloomington, performed
a very extensive surgical operation, Zone re-
curing much skill and courage to perform)
upon the person of Henry Dunbar of Patch
Grove, lad of some IL or IA years Of age.
The boy has suffered two years with a steady
and rapid decay OF bone, the tJia of his
right leg being the seat OF the disease. Upon
making the exploration incsion, from two
inches below the knee to the ankle the bone
was found to be entirely dead length of
some or 10 inches. Both ends Of the bone
were detached, the whole of which was en-
veloped by a she'll of recently formed bone.
The removal of the anterior portion OF the
incasement to the extent Of Eve or six inch
| es disclosed the remains of the original shaft,
! obstructing further progress until it was res
moved. The DR.. divided what remained of
the shaft near the middle and by dint of per-
severance and the exercise of considerable
muscle brought away the upper and lower
fragments entire each measuring A. to 5
inches in length. The operation was per-
formed in about hour and 80 minutes. Dr.
C.'s skill and nerve were called to the front,
and proved equal to the Urgency. The DR..
is an admirable man devoted to his profess
sion, and is working up an enviable reputa-
ton. AT present writing the boy Is improv>
ing rapidly. In all probability the use of his
limb will be restored CosNoPoLrrAS.

Frightening Invalids.'

The pupular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt FASTENED the
death of many inyalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance of cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiug countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi,
clans theorize as they will, we have mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &C., have been permanently cured
by cdr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy is pre-

A young man by the name of William Kotz.
coachman for Mr.. Charles Mcclellan, came to
my store one morning complaining that bis
feet hurt him very badly and expressing fears
that they were frost-bitten. He had in vain
tried 20 get relief by consulting physicians,
aud had endeavored, without success, to ease
the pain by rubbing his feet with snow ard
ice, the remedy applied in such cases. Being
exposed great deal to the cold by his occu.
patton, his feet got worse daily, until one day
he tainted in the street. A few DAYS after be
again came to my store and showed me his
feet have seen a great many sores in my
life, but nothing to equal this, and was afraid
the poor fellow would lose his limbs. He
asked me for ST. Jacobs On; but at first |
refused, as did not wish to take the respon.
sibility upon myself, not being a great adnirs
er of so-cslled Pasent>Medicines However.
some friends, who happened TO be in the
store at the time, begged me give the ST. ia
cobs Oil TO the sufferer; so we rubbed his
feet well with the Oil, and be took the re-
mainder with him. After nine DAYS the same
man again came into my store, perfectly we'll.
and requested me to write TO you Of this most
wonderful curs he also stated, that two oh
er persons had been cured Of Rheumatism by
the same bottle which helped him.
