A Woman Turning 20 bono.

Mrs. Mollie Utz, says New Albany,
Ind, letter; is highly respected widow
of this city, whose husband, awelI TO do
farmer Of Georgetown township, died
about year ago. She is the oldest
daughter of Mr.. Joseph Came, formerly
a carpenter OF this city, who carried OH

sides on farm in Harrison county,
about II miles from New Albany.
About eight years ago Mrs. Uiz ielt her
health falling, her symptoms being

symptoms drew upon her, often piO-
ducing sinking OF taintiug attacks. y
little over ayear ago she noticed num'-

fingers on both hands become involved,
But il was more than numbness---it Was

still continues, and has now reached
nearly TO the elbows on both arms.
Flesh, muscles, arteries aud nerves have
undergone the hardening process, and
are now apparently solid bone, the skin
covering the ossiiied parts being hard
aud alabaster like in appearances. Emi.
uent physicians have been called to zee
the case, but they only examined ii TO
tell the lady that she was beyond the
reach OF aid from medical skill and that
the process Of ossiticalion would contin-

death would ensue. Mrs. Utz fully
realizes her condition, and bears mp un.

Her heart il seriously complicated in the
disease, and the slightest excitement
provokes an attack of fsinting, in which
suspended circulation continues until q

A Mosr REMApKABLE INSTANCE OF
ANSWER TO PRAYER Miss Lille Tyler,
a relative of Mr.. William Tyler, the
Postmaster at Damascus, Pa, has been
an invalid Tor upwards OF six years.
Doctors have termed her complaint heart
disease. She has been treated by some
OF the most noted medical men Of this
country and has used all kinds of medi-
cines she could hear OF, with no relief.
About a month ago Miss Tyler heard of
a lady living in Connecticut VINO cured
long standing diseases by prayer. y
letter was sent Ia this lady and an an-
swer received from the worker Of mira
cles appointing the day and hour when
Lille and her friends should engage in
prayer for her restoration TO health. The
day came at last aud the invalid frierds
gathered az her bedside. This was
about a week ago. Miss Tyler was, at
the time, too weak to raise her head
from the pillow, and the company pres
ent included her uncle and aunt Mr.. and
Mrs. Nathan Tyler and her pastor, the
Rev Thomas Wescott At the appoint
ed time the young lady and her assem-
bled relatives engaged IN prayer. As
remarkable as it may seem, before the
hour had elapsed the young lady was
sufficiently recovered to sit up in bed
aud has been rapidly improving ever
since. She is today in such an i'm
proved condition that sine is able to ride
oat, and her relatives are convinced that
her complete cure will result, Consid-
cradle excitement prevails in this i'm
mediate neighborhood over the strange
cura
