Something Remarkable.
fFrom the Bridgeport standard. ]


A remarkable cure A lady, seventy-six
years of age, walks this summer for the first
time in years. A case that was given up by
the physicians. Her friends and relatives
had given up in despair of her ever getting
out again. Mrs. JULIA II. BRUNDAoE of A.
Maple street, Bridgeport, Conn, recently said
to representative of this paper when ques-
toned about the case of her mother: " can
very cheerfully give my testimony in favor
of so valuable an article as Hunts Remedy.
My mother, who is seventy-six years of age,
has for over thirty years been afflicted with
kidney, liver and heart diseases, which has
confined her to the house most of the time;
and to add TO her other troubles, about three
years ago dropsy in its worst form set in.
We had three doctors, who did all they could
for her with but little success, as she grew
rapidly worse, and death seemed inevitable.
At times her body and limbs would be swollen
nearly twice their usual size. Her physicians
gave her up, saying they could do nothing
moro for her. She was also given up by her
friends Having heard of the great amount
of good Hunts Remedy had accomplished,
and of the remarkable cures it had made in
similar cases, wo thought as a last hope we
would try it, and to the great establishment
of us all doctors included) she began to i'm
prove, and in a very short time the stcellings
left her entire body; the many aches and pains
from which she suffered she knows no more.
She has walked out this summer for the first
time in years, and is as comfortable as cln
be expected for a woman of her years. We
all feel that we owe much to Gods mercy
and Hunts Remedy"

HEALTH HINTS.

The following simple rules for the
preservation of health, especially through
the changeable seasons of autumn, win
ter and spring, should not be left to the
health journals. We are right in the
midst of the time when they apply:
Never lean with the back against any
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately go out into the cold air.
Keep the back especially between the
shoulder blades-well covered; also the
chest well protected.
In sleeping in cold room, establish
The habit of breathing through the
nose, and never with the mouth wide
open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet; always toast them ten or fifteen
minutes before going to bed.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin Is in an active condition the cold
will close the pores, and favor conges-
ton and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind, never ride
in an open carriage nor near the window
Of a car for moment. 1t is dangerous
20 health and even to life.
When hoarse speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness is recovered from,
else the voice may be permanently lost,
Or difficulties of the throat be produced.

Comparative Position of the United
STATES

The United States is but 100 years old;
Great Britain, dating from William the
Conqueror, 800 years; France, dating
from Cbarlemagne, / 100 years; Germany
and Austria the same and Russia, dating
from Peter the Great, $50 years. In
round numbers the population of the
United States upward OF 30, 900. 600, is
greater than that Of any of the above
nations, except Russia its wealth, its
agricultural production and the value Of
its manufactures far ahead of any. The
following statistics, approximately cor
rect, OF the present population, wealth,
debt, expenses and production of six
leading nations Of the earth, present
some comparative statements of sur
prising character and show, in strong
light, the greatness of this country:

English Herring Fishery.

The herring fishery-as studied from
the deck of yacht on one of the fine
mornings when the "fisher is out on the
sunny sea"-is extremely pleasant. Nor
can anything be more charming than
the lines of boats which shoot out of the
indentations on the wild coast as the sun
is sinking beyond the moors, where the
last grouse has been slain for the day,
gillie, like his master, is enjoying his
Otium cum-something more nutritive.
Even for the guests on board one of the
boats there is amusement and genuine
excitement of the sportsmanlike order 10

Elspeth Mucklebackit, is loved of the
fsherfolks, quarry. The waves around
are dotted with shifting CLEANS as the
boats, rocked by wind and the rolling
swell, toss their lights to and fro. But
in an hour or two these CLEANS are scat
tered further apart as the little fleet goes
further and further out to sea, and each
bark chooses its own ''ground. t"
There are phosphorcsccnt lights on
the crest of every billow, and
then the nets are shot, for to the expert
enced skipper this is the sign that his
prey is sweeping through the water.
This done, the crew may spin yarns, eat
their frugal supper, or sleep as best they
can until day dawns. But at last comes

A Shower of Icicles.

During the entire dav Of last Sun
day the wind blew violently, and Mt
times were accompanied by snow. In
The evening a storm passed across
the canon above the sight Of WATSON,
and thereafter the wind grew wilder,
the tenn perature colder, aud at mid
night a gale ragged precedented in
this section within The memory OF the
earliest settlers. When the wind was
at lis widest point occurred q most re-
nIarkable storm. and but that witness
es are abundant we would not publish
the phenomenon as authentic. AT n
few minutes after eleven O'Clock, the
sky being entirely free from clouds, Il
shower of what at first appeared to be
large hailstones began falling, and con.
tinued nearly minute. After the
descent had ceased it wa; found that
the supposed hail-stoncs we're paiii-
cIes OF ice, and that enough had fallen
to almost cover the ground. This
storm Of icicles Is thought 10 have
been caused by the furious winds COM
ing across the Sierras having attracted
