sather, Mother, and Three SISTERS Dead.
Mir David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, aud now
Notary Public at CedarvilIc. Cumberland
Co., n. j. makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters al died with consumption, and my
lungs were 50 weak raised blood. Nobody
thought could live My work ship
suithing was very straining On me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
10 the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and It saved my life. Because ii was 50
difficult to get it in this little place, and ]
had improved SO much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that / have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
rs nothing else does, and | must have
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication rs Won please, and if any one wants
10 lie convinced of It's truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for
owe my life 10 MishIer's Herb Bittcrs."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure Of consumption. dysentery, diar-
rhpa, dyspepsia, indigestion. kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bltters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless. and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists, These are four strong points in favor
OF Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Ritters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 90
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.

In certain part of Nowhere. which is

the other that it moves from west 10 east |
1t ought to be supposed that science
would teach them which is the correct
proposition, but the trouble is that one
party believes in science and the other
doesn't. Upon this broad question, &c,
cordingly, they spend their idle hours,
occasionally introducing il into their daily
ayocations, and it is curious fact that
the more they say the less they come to a
conclusion.
They are exceedingly earnest in these
discussions. They argue over their pipes
and their grog, at their tables, while they
are IN bed, when they get up, and when
they meet for ordinary conversations.
They have platform speeches on the sun
question, and torchlight professions as

The Salt Lake Tribune publishes the fol.
lowing speciol dispatch from St. Paul, Min
nesota: The Northern Pacific land sales
for the last two or three months lave been
large and much in excess of those made
during the corresponding time last year.
The increase has been particularly marked
in Dakota and Minnesota For June the
total sales made by the land department
will be upwards of 10000 acres. The
largest single sale has just been made to
the Anaconda Gold and Silver Mining and
Smelling Company of Butte, Montana.
The sale consisted of over 1000 acres, for
which there was paid a little over three
dollars an acre. The purchase is in the
immediate neighborhood of Anaconda,
where this company has erected the largest
smelter in the country. The machinery,
buildings, ETC., have cost upwards OF a mil
lion and a bali. The business lone by the
company is in proportion to the size Of it's
works. 1t handles over four hundred tons
of ore daily, brought down from the COM
pany's mine at Butte. The total now
by the company around Anaconda
is a little over 10000 acres.

GRAFTON, w. Va. July 2.-This place il
kill, of Hon. George A. Huntington, editor
Of the Sentinel and one of the ~best-knowr
men in the State. The cause of the crime
is supposed to be set forth in the following
anonymous letter received by. Mr.. Dun

time kept secret:

The McGraw referred to in this epistIe il
the recently appointed Democratic Collec
tor OF Internal Revenue for this State, vice
Mccormick, Republican, ousted by the ex.
ertiOns of Huntington and the Wheeling
InteHigencer. Huntington saw fit to treat
the letter with contempt. On Tuesday night
he attended the Temperance State Conven-
ton as reporter for the Wheeling InteM-
gencer.
After the adjournment he remained in the
telegraph office until after midnight. On re-
turning to his hotels man sprang out OF an
alleyway and leveled a revolver at his head.
Huntington struck down the pistol just as
the trigger was pulled, and the ball passed
through his leg. The would-be assassin
fled and, despite the closest search, has not
been found.
