The many friends of Mr.. T. w. Park
hurst, in this place, regret to learn OF
the failure Of the Clyde bank, OF which
he was the cashier. The special cores
pondents 10 the daily press, all seem to
exhonorate him from beng responsible.
He was regarded as the best financier in
the town, and was treasurer of tho village,
the township and board Of education, and
it is feared that the money thus coming
into his hands by virtue Of those Offices
has all been deposited in the bank. Hi-
temporary absence was msconstrued, as
he returned on Saturday evening and
declares his intention to have every do
lar made good 10 the creditors If he Is
given a little time. The embarrasment
seems to have been caused by an over
confidence in some OF the business houses
in the town, whose paper has been car
ried TO larger amount than was safe.

to them when they're sick, and you'll have no

good deal with dyspepsia, nervous prostraton and
other ailments that took the bloom off her checks
and the spring out Of her steps. Well, she saw an
advertisement Of 'Parker's Tonic, and thought it

Miss Lizzie Brooks Startling
Adventure with n Serpent.

SHERIDAN, Pa, August 14.-Miss
Lizzie Brooks,an accomplished young
lady, residing at this place, had quite
an adventure with blacksnake in q
woods just in the rear of her fathers
residence. She was out walking, in
company with a lady companion,
when suddenly she experiend Pc
culiar and painful sensation around
her waist, as if being tightly pressed.
She was quite overcome and seemed
to be held in vice-like grasp, which
almost deprived her of breath. She
investigated and found something
had coiled round her waist. She
called to her companion for help.
The latter upon coming to her res
cue was Mortified to see the head of
large snake protrude from the folds
of her dress. With rare presence Of
mind she caught hold of the light
summer costume which Miss Brooks
wore and pulled the skirt from her
body. With it there fell large
blacksnake, which the young ladies
declare was fully six feet in length.
1t darted away and was soon lost
sight Of in the rocks. 1t is supposed
that the reptile worked itself up the
young lady's underclothing while
she was walking and coiled itself
around her waist. The young lady
tainted when she reached home.

''small- politician" an outcast
and a thief, whereupon the World
produces from the columns Of the
Times an account of the banquet
given to Dorsey at Delmonico's after
the election of 1880. Gen. Grant
presided, and declared that to Dor
sey's Skill, to his executive ability"
the republicans were largely if not
wholly indebted for the result Of the
'sforlorn hope" in Indiana in October.
Gen Arthur also spoke, and attribu-
ted the Indiana victory to the liberal
response of Mr.. Morton's finance
committee and Mr.. Dorsey's matchless
skill, cool head and wonderful cour-
age. Mr.. Arthur, continuing said:
II don't think we had better 90 into
minute secrets Of the campaign, be-
cause reporters are present" In
view Of the recent developments by
Dorsey and his chosen lietenant, there
seems to have been wisdom in Presi-
dent Arthurs desire to have the

The whole Bible Into subjects.

We have thoroughly examined DIR.
Hitcbcock's Analysis OF the Bible,
and heartily commend it to all who
desire to- study the Word of God.
To the religious teacher, whether in.

be an invaluable help. The minister
of the Gospel cannot afford to be
without it. Every family in the
land should have it. The book will
have an immense sale If it's circula-

with its merits. Cruden's Complete
Concordance, is certainly one of the
grand features of the work. Upon
the whole, it is complete Biblical

AMERICA AHEAD.
Peculiar ChaI:l cterisfics of
"A merica ns..-'Elae Evils and
How Restored.

In this age of hustle and hurry, AN
age devoted to great projects and en-
terprises, the American people are
taking the lead in the furtherance of
noble works, and in the advancement
of the sciences and arts. In these
they deserve to take high rank. and
through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamed state
and being placed on an equality with
the Older continents beyond the ocean.
The American people arc fast under
these influences, developing into a
nervous, energetic race, remarkable
for its vim and business qualification;
yet there is danger that in the course
of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination Of the phys
ical character Of the people, and leave
them feeble and altogether different
from their forefathers. General de-
bllity is now much more common
than formerly, and it seems to be on
the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this wide spread COM
plant, but none Of these have been
SO successful or met with such gen
eral favor as the remedy manufactur-
ed by DR.. S. b. Hartman and named
by him PERUNA. Mr.. S. S. Cloudy,
Of Massillon, Stark county, Ohio,
writes that he had been troubled with
general debility and dyspepsia for
several years; that he was induced to
try PERUsA for his Complaints, and
that after using three bottles Of the
medicine he was greatly relieved.
1t braccd him right up and gave him
energy, and restored him to his youth
full yigor. He ascribes his cnre to
PEauNA, and says it IS wonderful
remedy.
