FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
sult the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
Jars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
K.,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
oyc. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving letter from one of the B. 4 0.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. e.

Fr,m the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Sent 25th. Iss0.

Frsm the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 25th, 1880.
"Very seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
ters persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother Of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the com.
munity:
"William Lincoln Curtis is the name
Of the young man in question. He is now
employed at II. K. Porter & Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form Of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features Of which
was the paralysis Of his LETT arm.
He gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee Joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblancc of
skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were of
such an indisc-ibable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better if he was called away. At this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes Of
recovery.
'.The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PERUNA. In two
weeks quite 4 change for the better, was per-
eeptible. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite as we'll as he had
he resumed work as a machinist at his old place,
able to perform much labor everi in his life.
The mother Of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said 'Indeed, I can not look upon
the cure much less than rs miracle. I do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PRRUNA, and
In recommending It to all my frends.'"
The pastor of the church where the young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts Of the deformed
bones, the enaciated condition from disease,
and Of the doctors having given him up. He
was sgreatiy surprised at his improved condition.
Sud he, "If he had not spoken, would not
have known him."

Stimulating Old Fruit Trees,

When apple and other fruit trees lose
their vlgor from age, or neglect or want
of fertIlizing, there are different modes
for restoring them to vigor, which may
be used to The best advantage during au.

is to spread coat of barn manure

node, instead of cutting these radiating
