Ny wife had been ailing long time
with dyspepsia and nervousness and
was in bed two years with complica-
ton of disorders her physicians could
not cure, when | was led by reading a
circular left at my door to try Parker's
Ginger Tonic. Having been 50 often
deceived by worthless mixtures nothing
but my wife's dangerous condition
could have led US to make any more
experiments. But it was big success.
Three bottles cured her, at cost of a
dollar and fifty cents, and she is now
as strong as any woman, and regularly
does her household duties.-R. D.,

A ToUGH TUMoR-Jacob Smeltzer,
an old citizen of Bell township, West
moreland county, died recently, aged
about 10 years, and in noticing his
death it is as we'll to note the fact that
for the past thirty years be has been a
sufferer from a most peculiar affection
At the beginning of that period a tu-
NOR began to grow on his leg and, in
few years, hand grown so that it be-
came burden to him in every sense Of
the word. The local physicians ac-
knowledged Their skill was without
power to aid him, and he accordingly
paid q visit to Philadelphia thinking
that some of the eminent surgeons in
that city would be able to afford him
relief; but his visit was failure, as
they declined to risk the removal of TIE
tumor, fearing his life would be jeop-
ardised by the experiment He suffered
no pain from the foreign mass but, as
it was located on the inner side of the
leg, he experienced much Inconvenience
from its presence. Ia order to keep it
from bearing too heavily on the afflct-
ed limb, he supported it by bands cross-
ing his shoulders and attached to a sack
covering the tumor. After Mr. Smelt-
zer's death Gin the interest of science),
the tumor was removed and examined
by the local physicians. II was found
TO be a solid gristly mass, covered by
heavy coat Of flesh and weighed when
stripped of its covering just 60 pounds!
The case has excited no little interest
in medical circles, as it is certainly
curiosity never before brought to notice.

IMPORTANT ARREsT.-Ever since
the robbery Of John Connor, reported
in our last issue, a corps Of detectives
have been steadily at WORK trying to
unravel the mystery and ferret out the
cowardly perpetrators, and they now
think they are in fair way to accom-
plish their purpose. On Thursday eve
ming constable r. w. Elder, armed
with a warrant and accompanied by de-
tectives Gcary of Pittsburgh, and Kribbs
of Clarion, proceeded to the residence
of Samuel Jackson, in Brady's Bend,
and arrested VIM. Harp, Jacob OFT and
VIM. Jackson, and brought them before
Esquire McGreggor, where a charge of
participation in the robbery was pre-
ferred against them. Upon the hearing
evidence was adduced contradicting the
statement Of the prisoners as to their
whereabouts on the evening in ques-
ton, and going to show that tEey were
abroad at an unscemly hour and acting
in suspicious manner After hearing
the evidence Justice McGreggor decid
ed to hold thom to bail and they being
unable to secure the necessary security,
a commitment was made out and they
were taken to Clarion Jail, leaving here
on the midnight express. The prisoners
are all well known in this community,
having been raised from boyhood just
across the river in Brady's Bend. They
claim 10 be able to prove by number
Of witnesses clear aibi, aud thus full
ly establish their innocence, and we
sincerely hope they may be able to do
so. However, the officers claim to be
in possession Of evidence not brought
out at the hearing which goes to show
that they were among the perpetrators
Of the dastarily deed.-EaSt Brady
