RESCUED FROM DEATH.

The following statement of J. Coughlin, Of
Somerville, Mass, is so remarkable that we
beg to ask for it the attention of our readers.
He says: "In the fall of 1876 was taken with
q violent bleeding of the lungs followed by a
severe cough. l soon began to lose my appe-
tite and flesh. / was so weak at one time
that could not leave my bed. In the sum-
mer Of 1877 was admitted to the City Hospi-
tai. While there the doctors said had u hole
in my left lung as big as half dollar. ex-
pended over a hundred dollars in doctors and
medicines. 1 was so far gone at one time a
report went around that | was dead gave
up hope but a friend told me of Dr. VIM.

nv friends, thinking that my case was incur
able, but got bottle to satisfy them, when
to my surprise and qualification commenced
to feel better My hope, once dead, began to
revive, and to-day feel in better spirits than
have the past three years.

that every one afflicted with diseased lungs
will be induced to take DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam

like a charm, especially when the complaint
is Of an exhaustive nature, having tendency

An exchange tells a remarkable
story of the patience and intelligence
of crane. We have often seen these
birds In confinement, and can testify
that they are expert mousers, but we
must confess that the statement that
the bird connected the trap and the
mouse staggers us a little. Listen to
the tale: IA large and handsome
whooping stork can be seen daily
struttiug around the yard at the resi-
dence of Professor Paige, in Council
Bluffs, Iowa. The bird was purchased
by the Professor during visit to Mex
leo some months since, and has be-
come quite tame. Among other food
that the stork relishes is good fat
mouse. Mrs. Paige has a small wire
trap in the house, and wheneverea
mouse happens to wander therein he
becomes u sweet morsel to his stork-
ship. The other day Mrs. Paige no.
ticed the bird standing near the barn
watching intently at u small hole
leading beneath the building. The
stork remained in an attitude of
watchfulnessi for nearly half an hour,
and Mrs. Paige becoming curious, con-
cluded to watch and see what followed.
Finally she saw mouse creep into
sight from under the barn, and the
same instant the intelligent stork
pounced down upon the mouse and
took him. killing it first, then eat
ing it. After performing this intelli-
gent feat, the stoik resumed his vigil
ance at the mouse hole, and after
watching sharply for over an hour, he
seemed to grow weary of his work or
get out of patience, and marching to
the house, entered the kitchen, and
picking up the mouse trapfrom which
he had so often been fed, he returned
to the barn, and set the trap down
near the hole, evidently approaching
the use of the trap and believing that
it would catch a mouse for him."
