The New York Tribune says of the

every branch of Legitimate business the
disturbance was felt yesterday severely.
Declining prices. forced sales, inability to
complete purchases or to carry stocks of
merchandise, resulted in every quarter
from the rapid withdrawal by country
banks of their funds on deposit with banks
in this city. That the Government ought
to do what it can to protect all business
from disaster is fully recognized in the
order already given by the Treasury. But
the utmost relief that can be afforded by
mere purchases Of bonds is inadequate.
The one thing that the Government can
do that is adequate is to give assurance
that the fifth section of the Funding bill
shall not become law. And that, thus far,
it has not done"

A Washington despatch SAYS: 1t is said
that if Gen. Garfield will retain the present
Cabinet for ten days the republicans can
reorganizc the Senate. Four years ago
the new Cabinet did not take the oath OF
Office until the 18th of March. eight days
after President Hayes entered the White
House. A similar delay now will obvi-
ate all complications and put the republic
cans in control Of the Senate. Senator
Blaine tells his friends that he does not
intend to resign until after such reorganiz-
alton. He will remain in the Senate in
compliance with the wishes Of his associ-
ates until reorganization is accomplished
one way or the other.

Our columns contain an account this
morning of diabolical murder recently
committed in the quiet. rural town of
China. only few miles distant from this
city. Nothing but the spirit of demon
could have actuated young man thus
brutally to murder his mother. and the
manner in which he attempted to dispose
OF the dead body TO conceal the evidence
of his crime was as atrocious as the muir
der itself. 1t appears that there had been
some ill-feeling on his part toward his
mother since last fall, and this working
in his wicked heart was probably what
led to the murder The murderer bore a
bad character before he committed this
awful deed.

Cured i'm Response to Prayer.

The Camden Herald of last week contains
the following remarkable story Of healing
alleged to be due to prayer. Mr.. Henry F.
Thurston, who vouches for it, is the step-son
of the lady who was cured, and it is endorsed
BY the Rev. c. f. Libby as a gentleman of
character and good standing, and a member
of the Free Baptist Church in Rockport
In the spring of 1880, Mrs. Sylvia Thurs
ton, while returning home from church,
stepped into a hole in the road and was
thrown with such violence to the ground that
her back was severely injured and the bones
of her ankle and foot were wrenched out
of joint. The injury sustained by the foot
was so great that 1t was almost impossible to
replace the bones in any kind of position.
For two months she suffered intensely from
fever brought on by the injuries to her
back, and it was three months before she
could sit up But when she had recovered
from the fever she was unable 70 walk save
by the aid of crutches. The broken leg was
useless and never ceased to pain her. 1t
was swollen from the toes to the knee and
was colored a dark purple The circulation
was almost stopped. and the leg and foot
became cold The foot was bent out of position
so that only the toes touched the floor The fam
lily physician exhausted his skill upon it, and
after several months ceased to doctor it. be-
lieving that only a higher power could heal
it. Instead of medicine, he resorted to
prayer. At last Mrs. Thurston herself
ceased to work with it, and she too COM
menced to pray for its restoration. One doc
tor said it must be cut off or it would mortify
or else wither away and die. If the limb was
cut of. he desired to purchase it for scien-
tiic purposes. About this time she was
taken sick with diphtheria, and her step-son
came from Rockfand to take care of her. One
day he was telling her ct lame man down
East who was healed by the prayers of Fred
McKenney, evangelist. from Portland. Both
at once determined to pray for the restora-
ton of the impotent limb, and both kept their
determination. That night the foot was 80
bad, that even the drawing of sheet over it
gave her intense pain. In the morning, the
foot, ankle. and leg were in all things like
the other. and as strong. Several hours
afterward as her son went to her bedside to
give her the medicine the thought flashed
upon him If God healed the foot can He not
also cure her OF this diseases So he did not
give her the medicine, but went and kneeled
down at sofa in front of her bed, and there
silently prayed: sob Lord make her every
whit whole" Immediately his mother,
though looking at him when he knelt, dropped
off to sleep and dreamed that the room was
full of people, all cxclaiming "You are made
every whit whole In short time she
awoke, and, in attempting to tell her dream,
found that she was indeed every whit whole.
That morning she rose up and dressed her
self, and on the following Sabbath attended
church.
