A MOntgOmerian Shot.

A MOntgOmerian ShOt-Edw. Gloyd
son of A. j. Gloyd, Esq, who resides neal
Germantown, this county, was mystic riousl,
wounded with pistol shot early Thursday
night OF last week, in Hagerstown, Wash
ington county. Md. He was in attendance
upon the Fair, and was walking around
town in company with several friends from
this county when he was shot The whole
matter was mystery at first, no one knew
who fired the shot, nor whence it came
Later it was developed by negro man that
the shot was fired by Pickett, the proprietor
OF low gros shop, which these young men
just passed. The negro man further states
that pane of glass was broken in the win
dow Of the low grog shop and Pickett lay
hold OF his revolver and ran out doors in
search of the party who broke the pane.
The first persons he saw were Mr.. Gloyd
and his friends. He discharged his revolver
at them and returned to the grog shop, ex-
claiming, 81 got one ofthe id s. of BIS"
The ball entered the back of Mr. Gloyd and
passed through his body nearly to the breast,
and was afterwards taken out lie is now
much better and is sitting up. At first his
case wss thought to be serious. He is at a
hotel in lIagerstown, and has received the
kindest attention by the good citizens. His
father is there with him.
Picket has been arrested He bears a dis
reputable character and conducts a den of
infamy.
We trust that the law-abding citizens of
that community will aid in enforcing the
law against such character and rid the
community of him
Misiortunes never come singlc-handcd.
Mr.. A. j. Gloyd left his home Saturday
morning to visit his wounded son in Ia
gerstown. He left behind all preparations
to thresh his clover seed that day. Shortly
after the threshing was begun spark from
the engine ignited with the stacks of clover
seed and destroyed them with his wheat
straw.

cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indigcs-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tlce, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
layers PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. 1 have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
FILLS are the only thing l could look to
Tor relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They

Paris is at present stirred to its depths
by the revelations made respecting the

Pei Is now at Mazas, on a charge Of hav-
ing made away with his servant, woman
named Marie Boehmer. He Is also charged
with having poisoned his first wife. NJ
Kuehn, the chief of the investigation de-
partment, is busily engaged at Montrc1n
In following up any clues which may bring
the murder Of the servant home to the ac-
cused. Two boxes which belonged to the
missing woman were found TO contain
napkin, which bore the imprint Of blood
stained knife. A large dinner knife has
come to light, supposed to be the instru-
ment with which Pei cut the flesh off the

the victims remains were placed in the

Of Reptile Descent.

According to the Darwinian hypo-
thesis man has probably descended
from some extinct variety Of anthropoid
ape, but according to a Mr.. Cauldwell,
who read q paper at the scientific meet
Ing at Montreal, there Is q high proba-
bility that all mammals, including man,
descended from reptiles. II seems the
lowest known mammal, the duck-billed
platypus, lays eggs like bird, though
Il subsequently, suckles its young. The
structure Of the egg Is analogous to
that Of the reptile. All this seems very
wild; but undoubtedly many scientific
men believe the human race Is an evo-
luton out of lower forms Of life. They.
seem TO regard the matter as proven,
and say that the only mystery Is how
life first made its appesrance upon tho
planet.--Demoresrs Monthly.
