the decided views which it is known he
sntertains regarding the necessity of
dealing sternly and resolutely with the
polygamous saints have created small

A Timely Warning, or the Expert.
euce Of q Minister.

If you suffer from general debility,
brought on by too close application to
business and:excessive brain-work; or
from increasing prostration and sink
ing spells, that even = rest or removal
Of the cause will not relieve, make
haste to do as did q reverend friend Of
ours. He secured from his druggist a
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters, having
heard of its merit from a physician,
who told him not to take any other
Bitters or Tonic, for with the excep.
ton Of Browns Iron Bitters, they all
contained alcohol, and had failed to
give his patients lasting relief; nor
should he take any other preparation
OF Iron, for with the exception of
Browns Iron Bitters, they oil black
ened the teeth, and often gave head
ache. which Browns Iron Bitters
never did, but in fact cured headache.
The effect was most satisfactory; he
immediately realized wonderful re-
suits. His old energy returned, his
natural force came back, and he felt
himself altogether a new man, full of
health, strength and yigor, and he has
continued TO remain so ever since.
Now he recommends Browns Iron
Bitters to all his friends. which we
unhestitatingly do TO all our readers.

A sPIDER's FEAR.
II Ensnares o Mouse and Lifts IL
Living from the Floor.

Lebanon Ky.) Standard AMI TimsS.ls
A very curious and interesting spec
tacle was to be seen Monday after
noon in the Office ofMr. P. c. Cleaver's
livery stable in tais city. Against the
wall Of the room stands a tolerably
tall desk. and under this a small spi
der; not larger than a pea, had con.
structed an extensive web, reaching
to the floor.
About half past II o'clock Monday
forenoon it was observed that the
spider had ensnared a young mouse by
passing flaments of her web around
its tail. When first seen the mouse
had its hind feet of the floor, and
could barely touch the floor with its
fore feet. The spider was full of bus
mess, running up aid do Rn the line
and occasionally biting the mouse's
tail, making it struggle desperately.
Its efforts to escape were all unavail-
ing, as the slender flaments about lis
tail were too strong for it to break. In
a short time it was seen that the
spider was slowly hosting its victim
into the air. By 2 o'clock in the af.
ternoon the mouse could barely touch
the floor with its fore feet; By dark
the point of its nose was an inch above
tho floor. At 9 O'Clock at night the
mouse was alive, but made no signs.
except when the spider descended and
bit its tail. AT this time it was an
inch and a half from the floor. Yes
terday morning the mouse was dead,
and hung three inches from the floor.
The news Of the novel sight soon be-
came circulated, and hundreds Of peo-
pie visited the stable to witness il.
The mouse is a small one, probably
less than half grown, measuring about
one and a hllfinches from the point
OF its nose to the root Of the tail. How
the spider succeeded in ensnaring II
is not known. The mechanical inge-
nuity Of the spider, which enables her
to raise a body which must weigh forty
or fifty times as much as herself. has
been the subject Of a great deal Of
comment and speculation, and no sat
~isfactory solution Of the difficulty has
been found. All agree that it is a
most remarkable case, and one that
would be received with utter inere-
lit were not 50 amply attested.

GENERAL Ambrose E. Burnside, of
Providence, who died suddenly at
Bristol, R. l., yesterday of heart
disease, was born at Liberty, Indiana,
May %, 1924, and therefore in his
ifty-eighth year. He entered West
Point in his nineteenth year and was
graduated in 1S47. He served in
the Mexican and Indian wars and
resigned in 1852 to manufacture
a breech-loading gun of his own
invention, removed to Illinois,
when ~appointedi Treasurer of the
Illinois Central railroad in 1858, and
entered the Union army as Colonel of
the First Rhode Island Volunteer
Infantry in April 1861. He com
manded a brigade at the first battle of
Bull Run, was promoted brigadier
and major general, commanded sue
cesiEely the expedition to North
Carolina in 1862, the left wing Of the
Union army at Antietam, the army
Of the Potomac and the Ninth army
corps, resigning in April 1865. He
was elected Governor. of Rhode Island
in 1866, 81 and '68, visited Europe in
1870, and was admitted within the
German andFrench linesin and around
Paris, acting as a medium Of commu-
nication between the hostile nations
in the interest of Cancellation; was
elected United States Senator as a
Republican to succeed VIM. Sprague,
Independent, and took the seat March
4tb, 1875, and was reelected to serve
another term, which would have ex-
pired in 1887. Whilst he was con-
spicuous in the war, he never
ranked as one of the great generals.
At one time he rendered bis resigna.
ton, but it was not accepted. This
was after apartial failure in front of
Petersburg. He was, however, given
a leave Of absence, and was not again
called into active service. In politics
he was a staunch Republican but not
d bitter partisan. His name is not
connected with any great measure
that he brought forward in the Senate.
yet he was personally popular with
both parties, His name was never
sullied by an act of wanton cruelty
during the war, or of corruption in
