ACCIDENT
ecessisafing Surgical Operation-Loy-
ing Mefher Attempts TO Take Pair
of shears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents common to women, and
some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, OF
South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y. some weeks ago
attempted to take from her child a pair of shears
with which it was playing. A slight struggle en-
sued in which the point of the shears entered Mrs.
Warmers left eye, entirely destroying the sight.
Her family physician di what he could, but intense
ly painful inflammation arose, which, by sympathy
threatened the loss Of the other eye Total Blind
ness to a woman having the care CT a household is
an irr etrievable calamity. In this strait Mrs. W
applied to the wel-known and skillful Surgeon, Dr.
David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y. who removed
the injured eye by very successful operation, set
ting aside all danger of further harm to the sight of
the other eye, but owing to pain and mental dis
tress, her system needed tonic and restorative
medicine. To do this work the Doctor prescribed
"Kennedy's Favorite Remedy which sustained its
reputation and laid sure foundation of health.
DR.. Kennedy's ssFaverite Remedy"
removes all impurities from the blood, regu-
lates the Liver and Kidneys. Cures Constipation,
and all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to Fe
males. 1t is for sale by all our druggists at ONE

Teu us About the "Ring.' J

The Argus, for want of argument, has re-
sort to assertion, and talks with little
meaning, though the words are strong," of
the "City Hall Ring" OF whom this ring is
composed and Of what misdeeds it has been
guilty the Argus does not inform its readers.
1t contents itself with vague defamation
and advances no charges that can be met.
Specific grounds of complaint are wanting.
1t has not proved, it has not even indicated,
any instance of mal-administration. or care
lessness, or neglect, in any of the depart
ments of the city government. 1t has not
specified the "abuseso of which it speaks in
SO vague and general a way. What are
these abuses? Who of our municipal Off
GERS are at faulte These are the pertinent
questions put by correspondent whose
communication appears in our local col
umns. We second his call for information.
The Argus has the floor. Let it come down
from generalities to details and tell the peo-
pie all about the doings, good or bad, OF
what it is pleased to call "the Ring"
The Portland daily press., 1882-03-04

THE Nihilist trials are over for the pres
ent. Another company of victims have
been condemned and sentenced-some of
them to the mines and others to the gallows;
and of the two it would be hard to say
which is the most to be pitied. 1t is disa-
greeable to be hung, but it is scarcely less
unpleasant to linger through years of Siberi-
an exile If the government cares to con-
tinue the business of prosecution it might.
with great justice and propriety, bestow
some Of its attention upon the perpetrators
of those outrages upon the Israelites of
which we have heard so much. The chances
are, however, that they will be allowed to
go scot free.
