Adam Werle's Nerve.
from the Manistee Democrat.I

Last Tuesday MI Adam Wcrle, of Pierpont,
Mich, while chopping wood on the back part
of his fathers farm, felled q large dead tree,
and, on going to the top to trim away some
underbrush, was confronted by large bear,
which lcisurely waddled from an opening in
the hollow top. Tho snow was very deep, and
the bear started away, but only moved few
steps, when it turned around and sprang upon
the tree on which Mr.. Werle was standing. 1t
rose up on its hind legs when with in ten feet
of Werle, and presented q very ugly and de-
fiant look. But Adam was not the man to get
up and dust under such circumstances. For a
few moments they eyed each other then Adam
pulled off his hat and threw it in the bears
face. The bear clasped it with his fore paws,
but in second more received the blade of the
axe in the side of the neck, which sent it rolling
from the log. 1t was soon despatched. Werle
dragged it to the road and then went to the
house and got assistance to haul it in.

No two men in America have had more ex-
pcrience with fine trotting stock, and none are
better judges than Calvin NJ Priest, of the New
York Club Stables 2Sth street near Fifth ave-
nue, and Dan Mace, of the Excelsior Stables
West 18th street, New York, the champion
double team driver of the United States Both
of these gentlemen say, that for painful all
ments in horses, such as cuts, bruises swellings
lameness, stiffness, ST. Jacobs Oil is superior to
anything they have ever used or heard of
This is also the opinion OF Prof. David Robarge
the celebrated h9Isc-shoer of the metropolis
and thousands Of stocl-owner5 throughout the
country. As pain-cure for man and beast ST.
Jacobs Oil has no equal. Mr.. Priest recites the
case Of a valuable trotter, so stiff from rheuma-
tism that he could not move an inch. By one,
thorough application Of st. Jacobs Oil ut night,
the animal was completely cured, and was fit
for the race-trlcl1, the next day.

The bill introduced in the senate by Mr..
PeEdleton takes away from the secretary OF
the treasury, the comptroller of the currency,
and the treasurer of tho United States certain
optional or discretionary powers with refer
ence to application of the national bank law,
and makes the performance of their duty in
certain contingencies growing out of the non
compliance of the national banks with the re-
quiremcnts of the statute mandatory. The
bill is particularly intended to compel the
closing of national banks and winding up OF
their affairs in cases where the reserve il per-
mitted to fall and remain below tho amount
required by law.
