easel parts were all cut away and the in
Vulnerable veins tied, and tine parts thor
oughly cleansed, silver tubes prepared In

from Europe, inserted in the throat to re-
place the parts removed. A set of reeds

RALEIGH, N. g., Aug. 19.--News from
Wstauga county is to the effect that dur
ing few days past, at p. M, startling
noise like the loudest thunder clap has
been heard. The sky was cloudless and
the people were terribly frightened In a
moment the earth began TO shake and
windows ratified and crockery fell. Noises

them. ON top OF the mountain ridge,
near Blowing Rock and Boon, 400 feet
above the sea level, these phenomena
were also observed. The mountains were
shaken to the very bottom. A party Of
tourists on the summit OF Grandfather
mountain. 5000 feet above the sea level,
were almost overcome with fear. The
noises lasted for quite time aud were
succeeded by a grand wave or swell Of the
earth which made people giddy. Earth
quakes are uncommon in that section, but
these severe shocks are attributed to that
cause, though soma declare them to be OF
volcanic origin. The place is nearly 100
miles from Bald mountain, where alleged

OLD STOCK ALE AND TOAST.
The Charges Against the Ohio Prohi-

FROM he Nsa0 York Times.

From the Nsao York Times.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.-The Rev. DR..
Leonard, the Prohibition candidate for
Governor, having characterized as an in
famous lie the story that he, at the sug-
gestion OF physician, drank old stock
ale for dyspepsia, the Commercial Gazette
will tomorrow publish the afidavit
of Mr.. Glidden, OF Decatur,
Ind, the excellent gentleman with
whom the story originated. Mr..
Glidden is one of the pillars OF the Metho-
dist church in his locality. He formerly
lived in this city and be onged to st. Johns
Methodist Episcopal church. During his
membership in that church DR.. Leonard
served as it's pastor. In his affidavit Mr.
Gldden reiterates his former statement.
which was to the effect that while suffer
ing from dyspepsia, DR.. Leonard was adj
yised by DIR. o. E. Newton to try old stock
ale, munching little dry toast with it.
Mr.. Glidden himself procured the ale and
paid for It, and he says DR.. Leonard sip
ped it daily with his dry toast as di-
rected. When the Dayton camp meeting
opened Mr.. Glidden prepared a quantity
of dry toast ahead, whion was
packed in q Yalise together with four
quart bottles of ale. MIR. Glidden accom-
panied DR.. Leonard to the camp meeting,
and says in his affidavit that they would
go together out into the woods three times
a day in order that DIR. Leonard might
drink his ale unseen behind the bushes,
and all talk in regard to it be avoided.
Mr.. Glidden expresses surprise that DR..
Leonard should have denied that any
thing Of the sort occurred. He holds that
there was nothing wrong in what DR..
Leonard did, and ne is foolish to try to
conceal it. IL is said the question of
veraciUy between DR.. Leonard and Mr..
Glidden will be brought before the ap-
preaching annual Methodist conference
