\ medical journal tells how one man
was cured of a cold . He boiled little
wormwOod and horehound together and
drank freely OF tho tea before going to
bed. The next day he took five pills,
put one kind Of plaster on his breast, an .
! other under his arm, and still another on
his back. Under advice from an ex-
perienced old lady he took all these off with
an oyster knife in the afternoon, and
slapped on 4 mustard plaster instead.
I Then lie put some hot Tricks to his feet
and went to bed. Next morning another
old lady came in with bottle of goose
OIL and gave him Il dose Of it OH a quill
with Il bundle of sweet fern, which she
made into tea and gave him, every half
hour until noon, when he took big
dose of salts. After dinner his wife, who
ha,! seen a fine old lady of great expert
ence liz dOctOring, in High street, gave
him two pills of her own make, about the
size of Il walnut and of similar shape,
and two teaspooniuls OF home c-made bal.
sam to keep them down. Then he took
4 half pint Of hot rum, at the suggestion
OF an old sea captain visiting in the next
house, and steamed his legs with an al
ceiioi bath. At this crisis two of his neigh
bors arrived, who saw at once that his
blood was ont of order, and gave him 4
gallon ofspearmint tea and big dose of

eight Of a new kind of pills, wrapped
about his neck flannel soaked in hot vim

A STRANGE FIND.

\ Mans Thigh lsone Embedded in a Solid
Iree-A Mystery that Is Unexplained.
Bellc:ontaine, Ohio Cincinnati Enquirer Spe-
cal.
Truth is stranger than felton," Who
can gainsay it? OF all the strange hap
pcnngs of the busy world, Or of all the
fantastic stories emanating from the
brain of man, there is nothing that
cannot be matched by tho acci
dental discoveries of every day life.
The oldest place of sepulture for the
bones of a human being probably ever
conceived has just been discovered near
Spring Hills, in Champaign county, near
the line OF this county. The facts arc
briefly as follows: A party Of men, con-
sistins of Henry Seller and others, cut
down large ash tree. The logs arc now
in the Walker mill yard here. On top of
these, thirty feet from the ground, i'm
bedded in the solid timber, and looking
from the rings around it rs if it had
! been there for ages, was found the thigh
bone of an adult human being, presuma-
bly, q mans. Let it be borne in mind
that this bone was in !. solid log, though
too short for q saw log !; that the timber
all around it was green ; 10 krot holes or
dead wood. How did it get there? When
discovered one Of the men struck into it
with the bit Of an Ak. The AK broke, and
the piece is still firmly imbedded in the
bone. Of course speculation is rife as to
| this mysterious circumstance, and rumors
OF 4 murder committed many years ago.
where all the parts Of tho body were dis
covered but the head and one thigh bone,
arc a!ioat. BE that as it may, the facts
arc vonc!icd for on unimpeashable testi-
nory, and the bone speaks for itself.

= Grim, story Oh Senator Williams.

Gen. Grant is quoted by the Lexington
TrHnsc, ipt as telling rather grimly funny
story concerning Gen. Ccrro Gordo Will
lia.ms, now United States senator from
Kentucky. lie said that when he and
Williams were in Mexico they were Oh one
occasion, after the surrender of the city,
on {. frolic, and that Williams had fine
Thoroughbred Kentucky mare, and he
(Grant) an Indian pony, which they were
running at full speed down the streets Of
the city that Williams naturally outran
him, and that in running down the street
he met Mexican who had pole across
his shoulder with a jug On each end of it,
in the common style Of carrying water in
that country !; that Williams ran against
the jug and knocked the man nOwn with
great violence. Grant said he looked back
and noticed that a crowd had gathered
around the fallen man, and rode back to
sec what was the matter, when he found
the man was dead. Grant adds that he
never told Williams anything about it, be-
cause he knew that it would make him
feel uncomfortable, and he believed he did
not intend to kill him, but We suppose he
would admit that Gen. Williams took the
chances OH doing so that he might have a
little innocent fun. This story was told
by a devoted admirer of Gen. Grant as an
instance Of Grants indisposition to make
Il man feel uncomfortable unnecessarily.

The Huntzinger Conspiracy Case Settled

The Hnntzinger conspiracy case was
settled yesterday by the supreme court re-
versing SO much of the decision of the
lower court as required Jacob IIunzingcr
and J. Albert Hunzinger to repay to
Thomas F. Kerns $4,000. The proceed
ing began in the Berks county court. The
Huntzingers failed owing large sums of
money. 1t was alleged that they were en-
deavoring to swindlc their creditors, and one
of the creditors, Kerns, had them arrested
for conspiracy to defraud. The defen-
dants were convicted, and the court or
dered them to restore to Kerns s24, 900.
This the supreme court regards as all
error. lin every case to support a judy
ment of restitution the indictment must
show that the money or other valuables
was actually obtained Or taken by the dc
fendant.'' The Huntzingers are not
charged in the Indictment with having
taken Or obtained the monev from Kerns.

wagons of various styles, sleisEs, harness,
&C., &C., which took place at the stables
in rear Of the Exchange hotel yesterday, at
tracted large crowd OF buyers and other
spectators. The gross receipts of the sale
amounted to SO, 223 3l-s larger amount
than was ever before realized by i sale of
the same kind in this city. The pair OF
beautiful dapple grays brought $500 the
pair of brown mares S425, and the pair of
sorrels $500. The other horses, "a head
in all. were sold at prices ranging from S15
to 5000 each. The carriages brought from
$40 to 5000 each; the sleighs from Sc to
$40, and the harness from $40 to $50 per
set. The robes, blankets and bells We're
not sold for want of time. Mr.. Colvin had
everything arranged in the best possible
order, but the grounds on which the sale
took place were too small to admit
of showing off the horses to
good advantage. Had there been
an opportunity OF putting the horses
through their PAGES. it is believed the sale
would have realized 1T least 81 900 more.
Ex-Sherilf Rowe was the cricr and ex-
