Mischief In The Air.

We cannot analyzo the aerial poisons that
produce epidemic and endemic diseases; but
the valuable discoveries which have been
made in vegetable pharmacy enable us to
counteract their malifc influence. The most
powerful known antidote to every species of
malaria is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
pure botanical medicine, in which the finest
anti-septic,, tonics, Alternatives and stimu-
lants of the vegetable kingdom are skillfully
and effectively combined At seasons of the
year when the atmosphere is surcbarged with
miasma, and whenever the specific virus of
any infectious disease is supposed to be pres
ent in the air, this famous corrective should
be taken regularly IS protective. All who
choose to observe this precaution may bid
defiance to intermittent and remittent fevers.
and in fact to all disorders generated by foul
exhalations Of impure water.

ing statement of Clancy. Mr.. Lloyd was
with Clancy during the night preceding his

self unarmed, and said he had never carried
weapons since he was in the army. Witness
was schoolmate of Clancy in their boy
hood.

ANNOYING SHARKS.

A monster shark has been making it..
self familiar and unpleasant in the wa
ters off Greenwich harbor of late. The
fishermen have been very much annoyed
by it. They say that they know the
shark, and that he follows one and an
other of them around all day while they
are at work, and many mess of fish
which they have put over the sides OF
their boats in the water-tied to string
to keep them fresh and cool-has been
taken by it. Several attempts have been
made to catch the monster, but they
have not been successful. Recently Mr..
Merritt had quite an experience. He
threw out shark line, to which was
attached big hook fastened to IN iron
chain few feet long. In short time
he saw that the shark had hold of the
hook. Instantly it was lively in and
around the boat. Suddenly the rope
snapped, and the shark was loose. He
had swallowed the hook and chain and
bit through the rope.
"How do You catch sharks with a
hook and line in boat?" was asked OF
one OF the men.
"In this way" he replied. '"Take a
large iron hook and bait it with some
kind of fish; few feet of chain is
generally attached to the hook, which is
joined to rope. This rope is of con-
siderable length and is fastened to a
buoy, and the buoy is thrown into the
water, being made fast to boat by a
rope. The shark can not sink the buoy,
but tows it around pretty lively for a
while, and in its efforts to dive deep
pulls his mouth open, and he fills with
water and browns. II the line were fas-
tened to the boat instead of the buoy
the shark would tip the boat over very
quickly, as their movements are very
i-rapid.
