Correspondence was opened between Levi
Whitsel, a prosperous young farmer near Bush
nell in Brookings County, and Miss Lucinda
C. Sivering, of Clarion, Pa, an intelligent and
excellent young lady. After suitable exchange
of views by mail, with photographs, the lady
came out to Dakota alone by agreement to
marry him if there was mutual satisfaction.
On recent evening there might have been
seen at the depot in Bushnell man in his
store clothes aud knot of red ribbon on his
breast anxiously looking for the arrival on the
train of lady wearing similar token of
recognition. She alighted; they saw and en-
braced, were pleased with each other, and at
once went before Justice and were married.

A Man Eating Tiypr

In the Palembang District in Sumatra, as the
party of ii. o. Forbes, the naturalist, was re-
turning one evening from the forest a tiger
suddenly struck down a youth, one of the
members of it. The beast was driven off with
a spear. but the victim died in half an hour.
Early next morning the tiger ventured into
the middle of the village, the villagers having
insisted that it would do so to search for its
unburied prey. The body was buried by an
armed party, and much deeper than usual, as
the villagers asserted that the tiger would
come to scrape it up. The beast actually did
attempt this on the following night, and was
some nights later killed by means of bow
trap made with a spear and green bamboo
so feet long set with the grave as bait.

ThrnM AWAY TrusSGS.

A vast experience in the treatment of Rup-
ture or Hernia, with view to its radical cure,
has enabled tho Specialists having charge of
this important Department of practice at the
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buff
falO, N. Y, to perfect such All improved method
of treatment as to result in the speedy and
perfect cure of every case undertaken, 50 that
trusses and all artificial supports can be entirely
discarded This they accomplish with little or
no pain, without the knife, without depend
ence upon trusses (Which never cure), and
without danger. Only few days residence at
the institution is necessary.
Notwithstanding the great number of rup-
lures treated in the three years past, many of
them of immense size and of such a character
that no other plan of treatment could possibly
have succeeded, every case to which this per-
fected system of treatment has been thoroughly
applied, has been perfectly cured, and the pro-
prietors of the institution in which these I'M
paralleied results have been attained therefore
feel warranted in offering to guarantee per-
feet and permanent cure i'll every case under
taken.
The success attained by this comparatively
new method, which has been perfected only
after much study, observation and experience,
is spoken of as absolutely unparalleled, for
no other specialists treating this common
malady, so far as we Know, can make any claim
to curing every case, nor do we know of any
one else willing toiback up such claims by a
positive guarantee of a cure in every case un-
dertaken. Il
There is, then, no longer any need of wear
ing clumsy, awkward, chatting, old trusses,
which, at best, igvesDnly partial relief, which
never cure, but which often infict great injury,
and induce Inflammation and strangulation
from which thousands annually die.
There is no safety in depending upon any
kind of truss, though, no doubt every man
who has suffered the agOnies of strangulated
hernia, and died, thought himself safe. Both
the rupture and the truss keep up a mental
strain and induce nervous debility and various
organic weaknesses and delicate diseases of the
kidneys, bladder and associate organs.
Abundant references by permission of those
whom we have cured, will be furnished any one
wishing to call upon or write them.

a battery of artillery which was h0tly engaged.
The Confederate shells were powing furrOws
about the guns, and the cannoneers were grimly
and actively at work to answer shot for shot.
The Chaplain addressed himself to a Sergeant,
who was very efficient but at the same time
rather profane, in the following words:
My friend, if you go on this way can you
expect the support of Divine Providence?
