One of the most remarkable cases that has

since Oct. IS, 1874, from the presence of Calcu-
lus or Stone in the right Kidney. No less
than seven physician5 were employed at diff
ferent times to whom Mr.. Beach paid hun
dreds OF dollars for medical treatment, with
only temporary relief from his agony.
By the rgent solicitations Of ms friends he
was induced to try DR.. David Kennedy's ia
yOrlte Remedy" and e1perienc Il a marked
Improvement from the first day ne began to
use the medicine. On the 18th Of Seplem Der
he vOided a stone as large as could be passed

ECZEMA!

For the benefit OF suffering humanity, ]
deem 1t only my duty to give this unsolicited
testimony in fevor OF Swift's Specific. MY
wife has been afflicted with Eczema from in.
fancy. We tried every known remedy, but to
n avail. She was Also afflicted with a peri
cd cal nervous headache, sometimes followed
by an intermittent fever, so that her life be-
came burden to her. Finally determined
to try Swift's Specific. She commenced seven
weeks ago. After taking the first large bot
tie the disease seemed TO increase; the burn
ing. itching and Inflammation became un-
bearable. she. however, persevered in the
use of the medicine. After taking the second
bottle the Inflammation began 10 subside.
After the third bottle the inflammation dis.
appeared. and sore spots dried up and turned
white and scaly, and finally she brushed them
OF in an palpa0le white powder resembling
pure salt. She L. now taking the sixth bottle;
every appearance OF the disease S gone and
her teeh is soft and white a. a child's. Her
headaches have disappeared and she enjoys
the only good health she has known in 40
wears. No wonder she deems every bottle of
s. S. s. is worth a thousand times its weight
in gold

case will be cheer'ully given by herself at her

ing along Elm street, between the rail-
road bridge and the station. OF Friday
night about 1880 O'Clock. I had been to
see young lady, and was walking along
thinking OF just nothing in particular,
when all Of u sudden a white thing an
peared before me i'll the centre ofthe road.

THE PEOPLE MUCH EXCITED
The ghost was the great subject of con-
versatton all over ConshOcken Yesterday.
The crowds of young men waiting for the
churches to let out, the lOungers about
the cigar stores and the railroad station
visitors all talked about the ghost. Some
Thought one thing and some another. but
ms TO the genuineness of the appearance
there was no dispute. A majority were
OF the opinion that the ghost was a spirit
Of an aged lady who was killed on the
railroad last year. An Irishman dis
coursed TO an interested crowd at the
station on the banshee that always an
peared in the ould country lust before the
death OF any one, and his opinion was
that the ghost meant sudden death for
somebody.
''Jist wait an see,' he said. .'if there
don't be a dith soon in Conshohocken
The banshee never appears for nothin'."

A Word to Mineralos,sts.

Since the organization of the Agassis
Association, n of its most unexpected
results has been the. marked influence
cxerted on the methods of instruction
and the course of study in many pub
lie private schools. It has been dem
onstrated that there is a widespread
desire on the part of the young to ae-
quire a practical knowledge Of natural
science.
This Association gives great aid to
all such persons, but from the nature
of the case, the A. A. must operate
more in the way of stimulating aud en-
couragiug students, and melting
schools to give better scientific instruc-
ton, than by actual direct teaching.
Probably it would be a very moderate
estimate to suppose that the study Of
plants, insects, and birds has been in
troduced into more than a hundred in
situations during the last five years
through the agency of IL Society.
But in the department. of mineralogy
the case seems to be different The
desire of learning is quite as strong
and general as in any of the other
branches. but the number of compe-
tent instructors is greatly less. Prob
ably ten teachers feel able to teach the
elements of botany from the specimens,
for every n who dares attempt prac-
teal work in m%ineralogy. The grow
|. ing demand for instruction will event
ually cause TN increase in the number
of good teachers; but in the meanwhile.
has not our Association, in this
branch of study. a very important field
for its special work assistance and en-.
couragementp An enthusiastic miner.
alogist could easily arrange and con
duct through these pages short course
in mineral observation and analysis,
sufficiently extended, to awaken
throughout the whole country in thu
minds Of young and old a strong desire
and determination to learn about min
eral formations, and also to illustrate
for the benefit of all, the right methods
of study and of teaching.
The president of the A. A., not beins

about preparing such a course himself
