America Ahead Peculiar characteristics
of Americans-The Evils and How Re.
stored.
IN this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead in
the furthefance of noble works and in the
advancement of the sciences and arts. In
these they deserve to take a high rank, and
through the united works OF millions, the
American continent is fast being trans
formed from its untamed state and being
placed on an equality with the older con-
tinents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences,
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business qualifi'
cations; vet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly and seems to
be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively ad-
vertised for this widespread complaint, but
none of these have been so successful or
met with such general favor as the remedy
manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hartman and
named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Cloudy, Of Massitlon, Stark
county Ohio, writes That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep,
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PgRuNA for his complaints, and that
after using three bottles of the medicine he
was greatly relieved. 1t braced him up
and gave him energy, and restored him to
his youthful vigor He ascribes his cure to
PERrYA, and says it is wonderful remedy

a Car Blown up.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 23,-At 10 o'clock
this evening ear No. ~ of the Wash
ington avenue line, was blown up
by an inie rnal machine, opposite
Washington University on Fifteenth
street. The car was going east and
only had four passengers, two ladies,
a boy and a man. Near the inter-
section ofthe above named streets a
terrific explosion occurred under the
car, completely shattering the floor,
breaking the glass and throwing the
vehicle on lis side.
Mrs. Shea. one of the ladies, faint
ed and was dragged out OF the deb
ris by the driver, who escaped in
jury. The explosion was heard
throughout the central portion OF
the city and the force of it shattered
the glass in several adjoining houses.
Mrs. Shea was carried home by the
police and is in a critical condition.
The perpetrators of the outrage
made their escape, and the authori-
ties are doing their best to appre-
hend them, The escape from in
slant death by the passengers is
miraculous. Threats of lynching
are made against the criminals
From the evidence it seems that a
jar was filled with powder and ex-
plohed by friction powder placed in
the track.

eph Lane. muscular lunatic about
SO years old, has been residing with
his mother in this city for some time
past. He has occasionally been un-
IIuly, but not so much as TO cause
any alarm. This morning, however
he became more violent than ever.
His mother attempted to restrain
hira, but this only increased bis fury.
He rushed past her and assembled 10
the second floor. Here he found a
loaded shotgun and retuned to the
floor below. His mother became
frightened and fled from the house,
holly pursued by her son. As she
ran into q neighbor's yard the son
coolly took aim and discharged both
barrels at her retreating FORM The
shot grazed the back of Mrs. Lane s
head, taking off quantity of her
} hair
The lunatic then returned to the
house and searched for the ammu-
milton with which to reload the gun.
Failing to find any, he procured a
carving knife and entered a room in
another part of the house where his
father and sister were. He chased
them from the house. On finding
that his victims had escaped him be
boarded the train for Mount Holly
Officers followed him to that place
and he was captured. He will bt

WHEN the Commercial claims to
be Republican journal it is simply
trying to cheat by false pretense.
Does not every voter in the county
know that in 1882 it not only retus-
ed to support the Republican State,
district and county tickets, but as
sisted to get up separate political
organization, and labored with all
its energy to divide the Republican
party and secure the election of our
present Democratic Stateauthorities?
This year with Colonel Quay's name
at the head of its columns, as a
blind, it is laboring to elect the
Democratic county ticke., and de-
feat the Republican candidates.
BY what right then does is parade
as Republican? 1t is no more a
Republican paper than is the DEM
ocrat. The only difference between
the two is that the latter supports
its party candidates with straight.
forward manliness, while the former
seeks TO obtain them votes by sneak
ing false pretenses.

BEDFORD. Pa. Oct. 22.-On Sun
day evening last boy aged IL years,
son of Joseph Smith, of Mann town
ship. started to the woods for the
cows. In the morning his body was
found on the skirts OF the mountain
nearly devoureG by some Wild beast,
supposd to have been panther,
which has been seen at various
times along the same mountain, six
or eight miles from this place. A
few weeks ago a young man named
Swartzweider was attacked at night
on horseback and his clothes torn
and his leg lacerated by what is be-
lieved to have been II panther. Great
excitement prevails in the neighbor-
hood of the occurrence, and large
numbers of hunters with guns and
dogs were on the mountains TO day
in search of the wild beast.

not have many fears that thus tail to
