A WILD NAY.

The citizens Jt tlio quiet little t5wu
Of Hicu were thrown into state Of
excitement early Tuesday morning,
by the appearance Of n crazy man in
their midst. When first seen he was
on the platform at the depot. He
would run forward up the platform
and then run backward down the
platform. On being approached he
would not speak and kept up his wild
antics. He was seized and it required
the united strength of five men to
hold him. He asked, "what are you
going to do with me2" He then he
came silent, and not another word
would he say, although numerous
questions were asked him. A hack
was procured aud he was brought to
this place. DIR. Curtis examined him
and found his pulse regular but =
wild, blank expression of a maniac in
his eyes. He was dressed in very
good clothes and WAS about 35 years
old. A letter in his pocket was adj
dressed to "Chas. Kettner' and sign.
ed "Robt. Kettner." While the
contents of his pockets were being ex>
amined he took very little notice of
anything until his pocket book was
taken out. He watched the Mayor
count his money and then said "put
it back" He had nearly fifty dollars.
A picture found in his pocket was
held up to him and he was asked who
it was; he said, my brother Robt."
1t seemed that when the money was
taken reason began to te.urn, so much
man loves money. From this he
seemed to be in better condition,
but occasionally he would talk strange.
ly. He gave his name as Charles
Kettner, of st. Clair, Michigan.
Said he came to Detroit, then to
Cleveland, from there to Nashville,
by the way of Cincinnati. He said
he intended to go TO his brother u
Corinth, Miss, via Mckenzie, Milan
and Jackson. He had book in his
pocket showing how much it had cost
him to come the route above named.
He said he got off the train here
Wednesday evening, intending to go
south to Milan. When asked to &C.
count for his strange behavior, he
said: AFTER l got of the train there
was scattering Of mind and / can't
remember" He said he was not sub'
jcct to such spells. He procured q
ticket and proceeded to Milan on the
next train. We suppose it is Il case

NEW Lie
is given by using Browns
IRON BITTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
Of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per-
feet condition. Browns
IRON BITTEKs ensures per-
feet health through the
changing seasons, it diSarms
the danger from impure
water and miasmatic air,
and it prevents Consump-
ton, Kidney and Liver Dis

reduction are allowed, and the aggregate of
the assessment for the entire district will not
greatly exceed the last assessment, made in

there that tho greatest increase has been mado
in the valuation Ot property.

Mr.. A. S. Merrill, the popular expressman
of Brunswick, Me-, writes us on May 15,
1883, as follows Having been severely af-
ficted for about two years with inflamma-
tionsof the kidneys and bladder, so called by
my physician, l suffered with distressing
pains in my back and retention of urine,
caused by a stoppage of the neck of the
bladder, and complication of other diseases

and at times would be completely pros =

ance of urine to an alarming degree; indeed
it demanded my attention fifteen or twenty
times per night, and at times it would seem
impossible for me to ride down to the depot
ON my wagon, for every jar from the wagon
would almost seem to take my life. Having
failed to obtain relief from my doctor,
finally consulted our druggist, DIR. Merry
man. of Brunswick, and requested him to
furnish me with the most reliable and speedy
cure for such sickness, for ] was suffering too
much for human nature to en- dure long. The
doctor recommended me to use Hunts Rem
edy, as it had been used with remarkab
success in good many cases in Brunswick
and vicinity. ! purchased a bottle, and re-
ceived such great relief that / continued, and
had not used two bottles before l began to

The river was unusually gay with boating
parties and club crews last evening. The
Potomacs had intended having general re-
view of their club, in which every boat and
member was expected to take part, and of
which a photograph was to have been taken,
but the men were so diatory in putting in an
appearance that daylight slipped away before
the line could be formed, consequently the
affair was postponed. The club had out an

What a Citizen OF that Section Says About
the Treatment Received ut the Hands Of

The movement inauguratod by the citizens
of Capitol hill last week shows that they are
in earnest in their determination to sec that
the neglect which has been shown the section
of the city in which thoy reside by the com
missioners shall not continue, Ever since
1874, when the board of commissioners was
instituted, the people of East Washington
have been endeavoring to secure their share
of improvements, and each year they have
failed, until last winter, when they secured
the insertion of clause in the appropriation
bill that the amount estimated for work ON
Capitol hill should be all expended in that
locality.
In talking with prominent citizen of Cap
itol hill yesterday, a REPUBLICAN reporter
was surprised to learn some Of the incOnveni-
ences to which the people of that section had
been subject. "Why," said tho gentleman,
"lNst year Mr.. Stevens, the chief clerk of the
Indian Office wanted TO make a connection
with a sewer in an alley in the rear Of his
house at his own expense, and he was refused
permission. He built his house years ago, be-
fore there was any sewers at all in the vicin-
ity and IL drained into an open cesspool. His
daughter became very sick and the doctors said
IL was from the miasma of this cesspOol. So ho
went down to Hoxie to get permission to
connect with the sewer in the alley at his
own expense and was refused. lie appealed
from him to the commissioners and they
referred him back to Hoxie, who again
refused He then went to work without
permission, and Hoxie had him arrested.
When he came before Judge Smell that officer
said that under the law he would be com
PEELED to fine him, but he imposed the mini
mum fine. Judge Cartier said it as one OF
the greatest outrages ever perpetrated on a
citizen.
That is only one instance, and l could null
tiply thom indefinitely. We propose TO here
