Under date of July 9, lss2, Ar. E. B.eBriyht. Of
Windsor Locks, Conn.,, writes a plain, modest
narrative, which, from its very simplicity has
the true ring Of fine gold. He says:
MY father is using Hunts Remedy and seems
10 be Improving ; in fact, he 10 very much better
than he has been for a long time. He had been
tapped three times The first time they got from
him sixteen quarts of water, the second time
thirteen quarts, and fully as much the third time,
and he would constantly NIL up again every time
after he had been tapped until he commenced
using Hunts Remedy, which acted like magic In
his case. as he began to improve at ence and now
his watery accumulation passes away through the
secretions naturally, and he has none of that
swelling or filling up which was SO frequent before
use of Hunts Remedy. He is a well known citi-
zen of this place, and has always been In business
here

in regard to Hunts Remedy that its use was the
saving ofmy fathers life. Ispoke to ysu in my
previous letter in regard to bis being tapped three
times. 1t is the most remarkable case that has
ever been heard of In this section. For a man OF
his age go years. it is a most remarkable cure.

more than a year, and was given up by the
The first bottle of Hunts Remedy that he used
gave instant relief. He has used in all seven
bottles, and continues to use it whenever he feels
drswsy or sluggish, and it affords instant relief.
He is now attending to his regular business, and

Mr.. Editor About twenty-five of oul
railroad fellows went over to Somerset to
hear Eli Perkins lecture. Idon't think the
lecture was what they expected. The boy:
went off very suddenly. having but ten
minutes to decide about going. This morn.

thought about the entertainment

Yes, he was there, and he was the only
member of the troupe that showed up. The
rest were side-tracked and"
Troupe" said l. Why, was a whole
troupe expected? ?"
why yes that is what the boys told me.
They all said they were goin' up to hear the
Perkins family. Now, damme. to 60 ten
miles to hear a play, and then have only
one performer come out, and he a man (;
why, it's too much for ne. Bill Johnson,

"Yes, 1 chung on till he got through. l
thought maybe there was to be a farce af-
forwards, when Perkins sisters would come
out and dance. But no, sir It was one
straight talk. Talk, talk, talk, no actin, no

Don't you remember one thing Perkins
said ?" / asked.
YES, the fool said he could produce a
show for us railroad fellows, and | thought
he was goin' to do it, but he didn't. He went
right on talkin' to them damidiots in Som

BURNWORTH.-At his home in West
Union, Doddridge county, West Va, May
3, 1883, Jonathan Burnworth, in the 18th
year of his age.
Mr.. Burnworth was a native of Fayette
county, but soon after his marriage to La
vinia Hartzell, who was a resident of SOM
erset county, he anne into the southern
part of this county, where he resided until a
few years before his death. His Christian
life began when he was but a young man,
and for more than half a century, he lived
a faithful and devoted member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. He was not one
who regarded christianity as something to be
enjoyed, but he considered that his call into
the Masters vineyard was a call to service,
aud his work in the church, as Stewart,
Class-leader, Sunday-Schcol Superintendent
and Chorister will long be remembered by
those who knew him. He was proverbial
for his genial spirit and hospitality, and
many a weary itinerant found in his house
ahome. His end was characterized by that
fNoeS UbaNs NohhC iAOAh tthfoiS "a Al
Jesus. When the shsdowy valley which
leads to the abode of death opened before
him, he found the support of that hand
which can comfort and save, and which
leads to those green pastures and those
still waters where there is an everlasting
spring for the children of God.
He leaves a wife and six children-three
sons and three daughters-all of whom he
had the satisfaction of seeing brought to
Christ. Ehe Oldest and second sons are liv-
ing in Illinois, the youngest in Kansas. OF
the daughters, the Oldest is married to b. F.
Hinebaugh, and resides in Indiana. The
second is married to L. T.. Dawn, Esq. and
resides in West Union, West Virginia, and
the youngest is the wife of Prof d. 3
CritchHeld, Of this county. Their sloss is

RAILROAD NEws.-Although our item o.
last week stating that the II. & w. engineer
had rented the Anderson house, on Pit
street, came to us very direct, 1t seems tc
have been a mistake. The engineers viii
remain in their present quarters in the
Brode building during the year.
Last week Messrs. +. II. Clement, J. b
Williams, E. F. Kerr and Gen. ID. 5. Elliott
trayersed the proposed line of the new rail
road, commencing at the Fulton equity line
as far west as the Mt. Dallass gap, and Sc
cured grants of the free right of way for al
most the entire distance. They found the
people along the line deeply interested in
the enterprise and disposed to lend a help
ing hand wherever and whenever possible
]. b. Cessna, Esq, and Mr.. Hughes Oil
phant returned from Fulton county on Sat.
urday, having met with great success in
that county. There were few interests in
which the right of way was not freely gran
ted. In fact it might be said that the right
of way has been granted from the Franklin
county, Iut dS III NNSN d "a oaiAdos 1AfAN
are but few properties between these points
that have not been secured, and it is believ-
ed that the right of way over these will be
granted within the next ten days. The
people in this section are fully alive TO the
fact that the construction OF this railroad
will greatly increase the value of their land
and benefit them in every way, and IN
many instances farmers have volunteered
to give the right of way, without s%olicita-
ton. This is true ever of several points
where grants were asked for considerable
bodies of land for stations bedford Ga
zene.
Sundays Philadelphia Record says 'The
Vanderbilt road from Harrisburg to Pitts
burg is to be a double track, laid with the
laid in cement and the bridges are to be of
iron. There will be considerable tunneling
to do, and this will make the line very ex-
pensive. Those interested in the road say
it will cost about $4,000 a mile to build,
and others estimate that it cennot be built
for less than soc 600 per mile. Ifthe latter
is really the price at which it is to be built,
unless the limitation imposed upon the is
sue of capital stock and bonds for building
railroads is repealed, it is quite evident the
road could not be built. The agreement of
the Reading with the new road is that the
latter shall devote 20 per cent. of the gross
business coming to it over the new line to-
ward the payment of the fixed charges of
the line. Three PIttsburg gentlemen
Messrs. Carnegie, Hostetter and Oliver
have subscribed for sl5,OOo,0oo of the bonds
of the new company"
