POll.Evil.

In the treatment of this case the pa
tent should be confined on light diet
and potion of cooling medicine should
also be given-ten or twelve ounces OF
Glauber salts dissolved in six gills of hot
water. As soon as the liquid is suffi-
GENTLY cool it should be poured down
the throat from smooth-necked cham
payne bottle. The tumefied parts should
be kept constantly wet by means of
bandages thoroughly saturated in mix
ture composed of equal parts of pure
cider vinegar and cold water. This
treatment should be well persevered in
for few days. Should the tumor in the
meantime increase in size and the parts
develop much heat, apoultice of bruised
fiaxseed should be applied twice daily
for forty-eight or ninety six hours, or I'M
til the tumor manifests a fluctuating
feeling. You will please note that no
procrastination should be INDUCED in,
such as waiting patiently for the tumor
to break of its own accord, but as soon
as the matter can be distinctly felt by
pressure make an incision slantingly
with sharp knife upon the right side
of the neck at the base of the abscess.
| The incision or cut must not be made so
deep as to come in contact with the spi-
nal corn or marrow. The opening of
| the base of the tumor should be made
sufficiently large to allow the pus TO
freely escape as fast as it forms. A Sc
ton should be passed down from the
natural opening at the top af the tumor
through the artificial opening made at
its base. Before inserting the seton ii
should be dipped in tincture of canthar.
ides. This will be found the safest and
best plan to adopt for promoting
healthy granulation and adhesion to the
walls of the tumor. The fistulOus track
is not probably very long, and the tape
seton will work its way gradually but
efficaciously out, by which time the
cure is made. A stimulus is also neces
sary to be applied to the interior CT tn
tumor, by resaturating the seton, II
three or four days after it is first in
serted, with solution made by dissolv
ing ten grains of nitrate of silver in ont

Trade-Marks.

The importance of law that would pro.
tect trade marks Is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as well as from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit is known to the consumer, ana
the buyer looks to trade mark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade mark
on sterling silverware; Colgates' mark to IN,
dictate the various grades OF tneir soaps anu
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has
peculiar value of its own which so distin,
cuisines it from all others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. Loriliard
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe in protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is at work again
turning out over 200 stoves day, the trade
can get their orders filled promptly, and the
| wear 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand for the famous CHARIER
| OAK make. tfzo)

A Huntress' Fate.

A fearful tale is told in the Port
JerviS Union, of the fate of Miss Lottie
Merrill, the young hunUress Of Wayne
County. Pennsylvania. According to
this account she met q most tragic
death on the Sth Of February, being
attacked in her hut by six bears, killed
and eaten by them, and her body
burned with the carcasses Of some of
them in her cabin.
A party Of hunters, it is said, at the
close OF that day found her cabin still
burning and proofs Of the horrible
death she had died. It appears that
she had been hunting that day, and
had killed q fine buck deer, which,
after removing the entrails, she had
dragged home on the snow. Six
hungry bears, drawn by the smell Of
blood, had followed the trail to her
hut, and, after devouring the carcass
Of the deer, attacked the huntress,
killing her and devouring her body.
The girl had evidently made a
heroic defense. An examination of
the carcasses of the six bears in the
cabin showed that she must have
killed two of them before being over.
powered. The carcass OF one bear
had fallen against the closed door, and
imprisoned them all within the cabin,
which took fire and burned the others
to death. In the cabin was found one
Of the huntress' heavy boots, with hel
foot still in it. a bent hunting knife
was near her bones, and the antlers OF
the deer she had brought home, which,
with the carcasses Of bears, furnished
a complete key to the mystery.
The remains were buried near hel
burned cabin, and over her grave was
placed pair Of antlers and hemloch

Negro Claims to Virginia Property

\ number of colored persons of Me-
chanicsburg, O., claiming to be the legal
heirs of one Samuel Gist, a wealthy
Englishman who owned property in
Virginia, in the early part Of the cen
fury, and now worth from 100000
to $5,O00,O0O, have instituted proceed
ings to prove their right to the prop
erty. Briefly outlined, the story of
the heQuest is as follows: Gist made
a will in 1908, leaving all his Ameri-
can property to his two hundred and
seventy-four slaves, with their free
dom. Matthew Toler and John Wick
ham, Of Virginia, were appointed
trustees. Gist died in 1916. The prop
erty bequeathed was in Goochla,ld,
Hanover, Heinrich, Amherst, Carolina
counties, and Dismal Swamp. In 1916.
by act Of the general assembly of Vir-
ginia. the slaves were freed in conform
ity with the provisions Of the will,
but were removed from the Virginia
lands. The trustees, Toler and Wick
ham. arranged to have them put on
lands in Brown and Highland coun-
ties, OHIO. AS time wore on they
allowed their trust to lapse; some OF
eiio coiOIeu people DOuSHId llu pdlQ lOI
the land they were on. Recently a
convention Of about two hundred
colored people, who claim to be heirs
to the Virginia property under the
will Of Samuel Gist, held a convention
in Hillsboro and determined to prose
cute their claims. The matter was
! given to the care Of Rev. e. Cumber-
Eland, of Mechanicsburg, who has con.
suited and employed attorneys, who
think that sufficient documentry
evidence can be found to prove the
| claims of the colOred people.

it may be well to commence breaking
to harness at one and a half years old.
First, in stable, put on all the harness,
and spend conside rable time in adj
justing each part and buckling and
unbuckling everything. The traces
into breeeh rings, pretty closely drawn,
buckle both girths, use no blinds on
bride, and only loose check-rein. Let
the colt stand several hours at a time
With the harness on.
After some days OF this usage, a
small string Of bells may well be
attached to the girth. Take the colt
out OF doors with harness on, and, first
in lot, afterwards in street, teach it to
handily be driven by the reins, and to
turn out on meeting teams and turn
around corners. Go different routes
daily. Then teach it to back, first by
taking hold Of the bride, afterwards
by long reins. Always on return home,
teach your colt to stand still while
being embarrassed. Three weeks
daily lessons of this kind, and your
colt will be fit to hitch to a light, but
strong sulky. Not less than two per-
sons should be in active attendance
now; and tirst commence by simply
placing one shaft in the thill holder,
and let the attendant barely keep it in
place with left hand, while he holds
the large ring Of the bride bit with
the right, yourself meanwhile leading
the colt forward by the opposite bit
ring. Should the colt show signs Of
much fright, the shaft may be removed
from the holder and gently let dow1
on the ground; then try again, and sc
on; when it cares nothing for the sulky
then traces may be hitched, etc, etc
Thus the ultimatum Of good and easy
breaking may be accomplished, and sc
moderately and gradually done thai
the colt will never know when he i!
