Wonderful.

Nrom the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 25th, 1880.
Every seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
tiers persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons we'll known in the COM
munity:
William Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at ii. K. Porter 81 Co.'S loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time ne went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
Ills case was speedily developed into q
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
'efS tAAS l'siL ell DO vi i-lo ICAI I'll
'lIe gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee Joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the check bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblancc of
n skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his suifcrings were of
such an indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better if he was called away. At this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes of
recovery.
The Young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PERUNA. In two
weeks quite change for the better, was per-
ceptible. In six weeks all the enlargement ad
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite as well as ne had
ever been in lis life. Nearly three weeks ago
lie resumed work as machiuist at his old place,
able to perform as much labor as cVerin his life.
1.-The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said 'Indccd, can not look upon
the cure much less than as miracle. do not
hesitate in sounding the praise OF PERUNA, and
in recommending it to all my friends.'"
The pastor of the church where the Young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the deformed
bones, the emaciatcd condition from disease,
and OF the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at his proved condition.
Said he, - If he had not spoken, ] would not
have known him."

A passenger i'll an Arizona rail
road train was arrested by a sher-
III for minor offense a short
time ago. Seeing a Judge playing
poker in the smoking car with
a brace of colonels, the sheriff pre-
vailed on him to stop the game
for a few minutes and try the
prisoner. The Judge did so, fined
the prisoner $40 and before an
hour had passed away had cleaned
out every colonel on the train
Then he played little game with
tbs late prisoner, who promptly
won all the Judges pile, and set

SURPRISING SIGHT.
An Emgy of DIR. Gross Hung from a
Tree in Bayliss Park.

A surprising sight met the eyes of the
early birds who went through Bayliss
park yesterday morning, and a crowd
soon gathered about a tree in the north
part of the park, from one of the
branches of which was hung an effigy of
DR.. Cross, who shot DIR. McKune last
summer. There was a pretty fair suit of
clothes, filed out, a black cap covering
what was supposed to be the head, and o
regular hangman's knot made in the
moose which surrounded the neck. There
were two placards upon the form, one
reading, CDR. E. d. Cross, heightened
murderer. The coming event of 1884"
The other placard read, "Duty demands
the humiliation of this wretch whom
cowardly injustice has thus far shielded.
--VIGILANTEs."
The form dangled there an hour or 80
after first being discovered. 1t was
evidently put up there some
time during the night by par
ties whose identity will probably
not soon, if ever, be known. The loca-
ton selected was particularly ~aggravating,
it being within sight of DR.. Cross house,
and also the scene of the tragedy.
The mayor on having his attention
called to the affair at once ordered the
efigy cut down and burned in a street
bonfire, and it was not until after the
flames had died away that the excitement
subsidized.
The eventcalled forth many andvarious
comments. Ever since the killing of DIR.
McKune there has been varying opin-
ions as to the degree of guilt resting upon
DR.. Cross, but there has been no rio
lence offered him, not even on the night
of the killing, when he was taken from
his house right through the crowd, to
jail, and since that he has walked the
streets, being out on bail, without n
apparent offer of interference from any
body. Although there is a strong feel.
ing among many against DIR. Cross,
yet there has not been before n
expression Of this save in casual CONVEX
sation, so that it seems strange that such
an affair should occur months after the
exciting event itself. With some this
effigy has caused a reaction rather in DR..
Cross favor, while others expressed
themselves yesterday as feeling that it
was a disgrace to the city, and a misrep-
re~sentation of the feelings of many who
feel DIR. Cross is guilty, and yet who
want to see him punished as the result of
a legal and fair trial, and not as the re-
suit of a howl. Some, however, were
glad to see an expression of this sort. OF
course, among DR.. Cross supporters and
friends it was denounced in bitter terms.
The effigy was, in fact, given more talk
during the day, and was the subject of
more discussion than it really merited.
While it was evidently the work-in part
at least-of some intelligent persons, and
not mere boys, yet it reflects little credit
to their ''sand" and manhood. If they
are as indignant and warlike as they
would make people believe they are, they
have had scores of chances to wreak their
vengeance long before this on the victim
of their wrath himself, and while all mob
law is to DO deprecated, bad as it it, it is
not so cowardly as the efigy business.
That is more on a par with anonymous
letters.

Mercer was succeeded by some other
physician they would quietly submit, but
if he is to remain and control the hos
pital that they would willingly be parties
to the opposition of this assessment just
as soon as such opposition could be or
gained.
