present, fstulency. uneasiness Of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspi-

In no city in the Union are there 80

STONE IN THE KIDNEY
Expelled After Using DIR. David Ken.

About Two Weeks.

One Of the most remarkable cases that has
ever been brought to the notice of the public
is that OF Mr. J. ). Beach, OF Stone Ridge, On
ster county, y. Y MIR. Beach had suffered
since Oct. Is, 1874, from the presence Of Calcu-
lus or Stone in the right Kidney. No less
than seven physicians were employed ~ diff
ferent times, to whom Mr. Beach paid hun
dreds of dollars for medical treatment, with
only temporary relief from his agony.
By the Urgent solicitations of his friends he
was induced 10 try DR.. David Kennedy's ia
vorite Remedy" and experienced a marked
Improvement from the first day he began TO
use the medicine. On the 18th Of September
he yOided a stone as large as could be passed
through the natural channel.
Mr.. Beach concludes a long letter TO Dr.
Kennedy by saying: at Will always afford
me pleasure TO recommend the 'fayOrite
Remedy 10 those who NAV be suffering from
diff ulJies OF the Kidneys and Bladder, or any
disorders arising from an impure state OF the
blood.

SIN what history do you find that Ogle-
thrope ever lived In Jekyl? In 1877 or '3S,
Major Horton of Oglethrope's army, and
who afterwards succeeded TO its manage
ment-I think in 1743-settled in Jekyl
and improved it in fine style. He spent
money on it lavish V, He laid 1t out in
grand walks, parks, avenues, all lined
with orange trees, some 10 900 in mum Der.
He raised hops. brewed ale and porter.
Some sent to England compared favora-
bly, with London Stout. This was done,
too, with the labor of soldiers sent over by
England to protect Georgia. So you see

various Matters Presented In an inter-
esting Manner.
BEAUFORT, Aug. 27.-Beautort escaped
with very small damage, on the whole,
from the cyclone. OF course, trees were
uprooted, windows broken and one or
two houses unroofed, but there was no
serious loss. The storm here did not
equal the one of 1881. On the water
though the results Of the cyclone were
much more disastrous. Most of the pilot
boats were lost. The sad fate of the
Scheper has already been told in the
NEWS. The Bertha is sunk in Charleston
harbor, and it is feared that the Walter 1.
Smith is lost, nothing having been heard
from her.
The friends of Mr.. Frank Clancy, of the
Sea Island hotel, entertained grave fears
about him, he having set out for Bay
Point In the yacht Elena, the evening OF
the cyclone. He was finally found in
Broad river, where the Elena was driven
on Rose island.
Strange to say, none of the houses at
Bay Point were washed away. Some of
our Augusta visitors were down at Bay
Point during the storm. They have de-
cided never to take any more Bay Point in
theirs again.
We have set up a burglar in Beaufort,
but will part with him for a small consid-
GRAFTON. The night of the cyclone he en-
tered Mayos store by cutting out two
panes of glass, took s11 out of the till, and
escaped with it.
When the report of the loss of the Beau
fort was brought in we did not exactly
give credence to it, though our feelings
were wrought up to a very high pitch by
the news. There IS one comfort to be eX-
tracted from the false report, viz: news

esting account of how he got rid ofa large
chicken snake this spring. Mrs. Haley
bad number of hens laying, and to her
great annoyance, daily the eggs would
disappear, until lima ly Mr.. Haley deter
mined to put stop to this stealing of
eggs. He took an egg, punctured a hole
in it, aud then let out most OF
the white. He put in a good dose of
nux vOmica, mixing well with
the yolk Of the egg, and replaced it in the
nest. Next morning the egg was gone,
and after that no more eggs were missing
from the nests. He fully expected to hear
of some of his neighbOrs' dogs lying cold
in death, but he did not. One day smell
ing an offensive odOr hard by the nests,
he pulled up large plank and saw a huge
chicken snake dead, and lying as If he
had died in the agonies of spasmodic par
OXysms. He evidently was the reptile
which had sucked the eggs, and the last
time he went be sucked the nux vomica.
