der Stephens death, he is the smallest
man in high station. He makes 800, 900

Yale respectively. Sherman is studying
law with his father, and Prescott is work

more demure, and Prescott was a great
athlete in college. Two or three of the
girls are married, but the home life of
the Evarts family is still as delightful as
ever.

SUCCESS.

EThe test of the pudding is in the eat
ing Of it," and the test of the physician
is his ability to cure. DIR. Fishblatt, who,
has been visiting our city at regular in
tervals, has performed such remarkable
cures lately that he has secured the con-
fdence of the public and has now an
enormous practice. Many people are
rather suspicious of what are called
'traveling doctors" but none need fear
this gentleman, for he comes well recon-
mended and has already established q
GOOD reputation 10 this vicinity. He
treats many cases which are known as
''incurable'' with remarkable success.
He does, not, however, hold out false
hopes 10 his patients. If he cannot cure
them, he tells them so plainly, and does
not take their money when there is no
chance of cure.
DIR, Fishblatt will establish medical
and surgical institute atJanesYille, Wis,
for the accommodation of his numerous
patients. This will be good news for
many invalids, and Will undoubtedly be
we'll patronized.
A doctor of this character, who is re-
lieving suffering humanity to such an ex-
tent, should be considered not only an
individual benefactor, but national one
as we'll.
DR.. Fishblatt makes his next visit to,
Watertown Wis. Tuesday Dec. 4th, hav-
ing a large number of patients that need
his attention. We have taken upon
ourselves to investigate the matter to see
and learn of his real worth, which RESULT
ed very satisfactorily.
Knowing this, we can safely commend
him to all who may need his assistance

tact with various crawling insects, bat
waking leaves we're something altogether
OUT Of the common way, and they took 10
their heels NJ once, and lost no time In get.
ting on hoard the vessel. This land was
certainly bowltobed, and one OF the men
said IN relating the adventure, that he ex.
pected every minute 10 see the trees step
out and dance a regular jlg.
Fortunately this singular phenomenon
has been fully explained by late travellers
who were not too much frightened TO stop
and explain the matter. II was discovered
that these queer leaves are really insects
that live upon the trees. and are of the same
color as the foliage. They have very thin,
Hat bodies. aud their wings are like large
leaves. When anything disturbs them
like a breeze, for instance-they fold their
legs away under their bodies, and then the
leaf like shape, with stem and all, is COM
plete.
Not only are they of bright green in the
summer, like the foliage of the trees at
that time, but they actually change when
the leaves do to the dull brown produced
by FROST. Another popularity of these Leaf
insects is that, althonght they have a
generous supply of wings, they seldom use
them, but when they have been shaken to
the ground, after lying there for few mo-
ments, as If they were really leaves, they
crawl towards the tree, and ascend the
trunk without seeming to know that they
have the power of getting back to their
quarters in much quicker and easier way.
