A Hack Drfver,s Close Call.

James opBrien, Branford hack driver, attempted to drive across the railroad track at the Branford station Christmas morning in advance of the eastern bound express train. He paid no attention to the fagman's warn ings. The engine struck the horses as they touched the track and horribly mangled them. The whole outfit was thrown into a heap. The driver was picked up insensib1e and carried into the Linsley House and was found to be not injured to any extent. The horses were killed outright and the hack was ruined. The team belonged to Frank Nc Grail.
 The ghost at the White House is said to walk half of every night, but he could put in for double that amount of work if he wasn't afraid of the morning air, and knew that Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup cured all kinds of troublesome coughs and colds.

 This is to certify in regard to the re- markable cure of my daughter, Emma, performed by Dr s. D. Merriam. To the age of 13 she was a healthy child, never known to complain of the slight est trouble. Then she began to com plain of being tired, and of soreness in different parts of her body, and failed perceptibly- I am physician and used the best of my Skill in administering remedies for her relief, but to no pur- pose, for she grew worse. I took her to Florida, but 1t did no good. 1 employed three of the most skillful physicians; giving them all fair chance, and they pronounced her incurable. I then took her to Richmond, Va. where she remain ed nine months, under the care of lead- ing physicians of that place, but to no purpose. went home and all my hopes seemed blasted. resolved to try once more and took her to New York, where I placed her under the best medical treatment to be obtained remained seven months, and she continued to fail Soon after her arrival home large scrofula sores broke out upon her body, nineteen in all. I consulted several so- called clairvoyant physicians but no avail; then started with her to Paris, hoping that tue voyage might prove beneficial. I employed the most cele- brated physicians, and remained in Paris one year, but the sores increased in number, and I returned home to let her die in peace. After spending S7,00O, found myself doomed to disappoint- ment Atlength was induced, through the entreaties of many who had been cured by him, to employ Dr s. D.

My daugh- ter was covered to the chin by the bed clothing. The doctor gave her one look, and said she was covered with scrofula sores, and that he conld save her. His words seemed different than other phy- sicians and my wife and myself had a bright hope. He then magnetized her and placed his hand over the sores, when she exclaimed, ''Mother, the pain [ is all gone" The next move was to wash the sores in a different manner from what I had ever thought of doing, and he said it must be done every night and morning, after which poultice was i to be applied. She took 65 bottles oi his blood purifier and remained under ! his care eleven months, when she was cured. She has gained forty-four lbs of flesh, and to-day is rugged, and healthy, and enjoys the society of hel young companions.

to work mischief as in some cases sailors have
refused to ship on board vessels unless their

introduced requiring the licensing of captains
after satisfactory examination before board

UNDER the heading of Foundations in
Quicksand" the Scientific Ansertcan of last
week contains description of an ingenious
method pursued in the construction of
bridge across the Ganges river. in India.
The bed of this river, which is three miles
wide, is composed wholly of quicksand which
swallows up whatever presses upon it. This
difficulty was overcome as described by the
use of perforated iron pipes forced into the
bed of the river to depth of from 80 to 40
feet at time when the waters were very
low and through these green vitriol was
pumped which mixed with the quicksand and
converted it into solid rock upon which any
weight could be placed.

DURING the past week New Workers have
been much astonished by the mysterious
power possessed by Lulu Hurst a girl brought
on from Georgia by her parents in order
specially to give an exhibition of what to
them as well as the public is incomprehensi-
BILE. The exhibitions took place at Wallack's
theatre and drew large assemblages to witness
her feats. These consisted in overcoming
the strength of everyone who undertook to
test it by endeavoring to hold in place any
article they saw fit to use, as umbrellas,
chairs, etc., but in each and every case they
were unsuccessful, being tossed about as if
they were mere pigmies, or the articles
wrenched from their grasp. All this was eff
fected by the mere touch of the girls hand as
she did not seem to exert any strength what
ever nor to experience fatigue from the efforts
The source of her wonderful energy is not
apparent to the closest observers. though
many think it to be due to magnetism.
