An instance of where a total ab-
stinence from water prevented recur-
renee of hemorrhages to man who
had long been subject to them, is re-
cited by the Hunterdon Democrat.
The person in question is George
Fancher, of Lambertville, who says
that during the past twelve years not
a glass of water has touched his lips.
Previous to that time he was afflicted
with frequent hemorrhages, and as a
remedy or cure it was recommended
to him to deny himself altogether of
drinking water. This he has faithfully
carried out, and the result is no more
hemorrhages. The singular part of it
is that in the past few years he has had
no craving or desire to drink water

Systematic pilfering has been carried
on at some of the silk mills in Pater-
son for considerable time. For
months past Grimshaw Brothers have
missed valuable silk handkerchiefs. A
strict watch was kept until the limit of
suspicion narrowed down to two young
and pretty girls. The employers sent
for Chief Graul and invited the girls
into the private office. They broke
down and confessed that their pecula
tions had been going on for at least
three or four months, The handker-
chiefs were taken out in twos and threes
and sold for thirty cents in fancy stores,
saloons, etc., although worth at whole
sale 81 each. Messrs. Grimshaw dis
charged the young thieves but de-
clined to punish them further.
A terrible accident occurred at the
residence of w. Fl, Hewitt, at Cape
May, few days since. Emma, his
sixteen-year old daughter, while en-
gagged in cooking dinner, the mother
being ill in bed, tainted and fell upon
the hot stove, where she lay uncon-
scious. The flesh upon her face and
breast actually roasted, until Mrs.
Hewitt detected the smell of something
burning down stairs and asked some
one in the room to go down and see
what it was. The child was snatched
from her terrible position and a phys
ician sent for Restoratives were ap-
piled and soothing applications quickly
placed upon the burned portion of the
face and body. She had been suffer
ing extremely, and it is difficult to say

a quarrel the other day, and she has

ing last week he found the table set for
