she had no watch and afterward noticed that

faces had been shaved. Much alarmed, she
started to walk away and was followed by the
men, one Of whom seized her. She struggled
to escape, but seeing their daggers fell in q
swoon. She did not recover her senses for
nearly an hour. On her recovery she found
both palms cut across and her gloves
severed. There were two dagger holes, two
inches apart, in the right breast of her dress

CRIMES AND CRIMINALS.

The house of Duncan Doles, mile north of
Byer's Station, O., burned on the night of the
10Th inst. Doles was SO years old and occu-
pied the house alone. When the fire had part
" subsided neighbors found the dead body of
Doles under the bed, with rope around the
neck. It is thought he was straDged by rob-
bers and bidden under the bed, and then the
house fired. Considerable gold and silver coin
and some melted money was found in the
ashes. He had large amount of money
about the house, and leaves large estate.
The johnson brothers, two of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith train rob bers, now in Jail
have confessed their crime. Their intention
was not to kill any one, except in self defence,
and to avoid bloodshed unless absolutely nec-
essary. The shooting was done under excite
| ment and was entirely unnecessary. Jim Hern-
| don, who was captured near Huntsville, Madi-
| con County. Ark, fred the shot that killed
Conductor Kane. Herndon went to Mcdonald,
one Of the gang, to stop the shooting, but Nc

Will Alcohol Cure catarrh I?

The Rev. William IL. Bergfels, of
Newark, thinks he has discovered a
simple and certain cure for catarrh,
which has long bafbed medical science.
Mr.. Bergfels was pastor OF the Baptist
church ut Lyons Farms, but in 1872 he
was compelled TO give up preaching on
account OF a seyere catarrhal affection.
He is a member Of the Newark Nickel
Plating Company, and one evening at
ter using, in his business, II lacquer
composed of alcohol, he found that his
disease was not 50 bad. He then put
alcohol into an inhaler and breathed
the yapor arising from it. He did this
for q month, night and morning, and
vas greatly relieved of the catarrhal
trouble. A few months later he was
cured, and he is now again pastor of
the Lyons Farms church. His family
find that the vapor from alcohol also
prevents colds. Mr.. Bergfels desires to
have the Il of his cure made known.
