At twelve o'clock last night, when
the fast express train on the Lake Shore
road stopped here, the engineer, "Pole"
Adams, while oiling up the locomotive,
noticed a dark object on the cow
catcher. At the first glance he took it
to be a man, and supposed that the en-
CINE had struck and killed him, and
that the body had been thrown up IN
the cow-catcher. He called the atten-
tion of the car inspector to the dark
object, and the latter thereupon ap-
preached it, and, throwing the light of
his lantern upon it, discovered that it
was a large black fish, weighing about
200 pounds. 1t was at once taken Off
the ~cow-catcher, and was found to be
alive and uninjured. The engineer
gave it to some parties who were at the
depot, who took it home with them.
Where the fish came from is indeed a
mystery. 1t was not on the cowcatcher
when the train left Toledo, and no stop
was made between that city and here.

Miss Creiger snapped a corset steel at
a picnic. Mr.. Barnes heard 1t, and
begged to be allowed to make her a
pair that would not break. She con
sented. Being a skillful mechanic, he
invented and constructed an improved
kind, and she was for three years sup
piled with them, at the end of which
time they married. The question has
been before the United States supreme
court, whether the wearing of the in
vention by Miss Creiger was such a
''public usage allowed by the inventor
as will prevent Barnes from obtaining
a patent. The court decided against
Barnes, but Justice Miller dissented.

An opinion from one whose expert
ence the expression thereof is always
in order. Mr.. Hiram b. Ferguson, a
member of the supreme court bar of
the state of New York, whose office is
at No. 2S7 Broadway, New York city,
says: 81 consider st. Jacobs oil a most
wonderful remedy. L had been a suf-
ferer from rheumatism for years, and
probably have endured as much misery
from that disease as any mar can stand.
I tried many of the so-called remedies
without any relief. Finally l used st.
Jacobs oil, which gave me almost in
slant relief. / found it a safe, sure
and pleasant remedy. L believe it to
be an infallable medicine. 1t is a pleas
ure for me to recommend st. Jacobs
oil to all who suffer and need its good
services"
