CRAZED BY A NERVOUS SHOCK. The Cossack Idea of Fun Costs a
 Young Russian His Reason.


 Young Russian His Reason.
 MILWAUKEE, July 25.-Samuel Cohen, the nineteen year old son of well-to-do Russian fugitive has been taken to the insane asy- lum. Three years ago his family arrived here, having been driven off their homestead on the Russian border. The young man was then already mentally diseased. About four years ago he and his younger sister were strolling through their fathers farm when they went too far and came upon the endless steppe. All at once squadron of Russian Cossacks put in an appearance and headed straight on the two frightened children Be fore they realized what was going on two burly Cossacks bent down from their saddles while sweeping past and lifted them up on their knees Their tormentors had been on a tour of reconnaissance and they returned the same way that they had come to liberate the children near their parents home, hay ing taken them along in this manner for the sake of enjoying some fun. The girl died the same night from nervous shock. The boy lost his reason. The other day while ill a fit of paroxysm he attempted to shoot his grieved mother and then tried to take his own life. To avoid catastrophe tho unhap- py boy was given in charge of the asylum trustees.

Bank robbers have their hours of
sorrow and disappointment, as well

of trouble they effected an entrance
to bis dwelling, but when they came
to his bedroom they found only his
wife and child. Rousing up the wo-
men, they asked where her husband
was. " Are you officers OF the law ~
she queried. No ma'am; we are

A NUT FOR BUSINESS MEN.

The great Peter Cooper is credited
with the following rare bit OF COM
mon sense: Sin all the towns where
a newspaper is published every man
should advertise, even if nothing
but card telling his name and the
business in which he il engaged
1t not only pays the advertiser but
lets the people at distance know
that the town you reside in has a
prosperous class OF business men,
As the seed is sown so it recompen-
ses. Never pull down the sign
while you intend to do business, for
it often indicates that your grip,
commercially, is broken. The judi
cious advertiser will receive in re-
turn ten dollars for every one invest
ed in the columns Of a local paper.

A citizen OF a town in Canada, a
widower, recently married the young
woman who had been doing his
kitchen work. The event produced
a great social tiutter, and was un-
animously resolved by all the ladies'
to give her the coolest kind of cold
shoulder. The bridegroom probably
anticipated something of the sort,
but went off on his tour undisturbed
in mind. When he returned and
got out the reception cards "P. 81
gave the information "The bride
has fallen heir to $4,000 by the
death of an Aunt in Scotland" The
bride broke down the front steps
and both knobs off the front doors,
and as each lady backed out to take
her departure, she said: "Now,
my dear Mrs. Blank, do return my
call right away | shall be so anxious

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.

w. Lee Rodes, well known far
mer of this neighborhood, owns a
shepherd dog of remarkable intelli-
gence. 1t is said of him that when
an intruder of any kind prowls
about the farm after night he goes
to the house and scratches against
the door until his master. or some
member of the house hold, appears
and investigates the cause OF the
alarm. On one occasion recently
the shepherd found sheep dog
prowling about the premises. He
coached the stranger, took him be-
hind the barn, Left him to wait until
he could "see man." proceeded to
the house, and called his master up
by scratching on the door. Mr..
Rodes took down bis gun and follow.
ed the dog to the barn, where the
stranger was awaiting the shep
herds return. Mr.. Rhodes promptly
killed the. intruder, much to the joy
of his faithful detective. On other
occasions the dog has aroused the
family when chicken thieves were
about. -Greencastle Echo.

STORY OF A HORSE.

George G. Bowen, ofTioga county,
Pa, upon going to the stable one
morning found one of the horses
going through some strange antics
with its head high in the air, and
upon examination its tongue was
found to be off near the roots, and
it was afterward found upon the
floor. How this accident occurred
has always remained mystery, but
the horse soon became accustomed
to the situation. 1t is now about 16
years old, and it eats the same
food as other horses and has done
its fair proportion of work ever
since losing its tongue. The crea-
ture makes considerable fuss over
its rations, and Of necessity throws
its head high up in order to swallow
the food.

HARD AND SOFT GOALS.

The mineral Goals in general use
are divided into two great classes
the hard, or anthracite, and the soft,
or bituminous Goals, and of each OF
these, there are several subdivisions.
Anthracite Ga Greek word for coal)
Goals, are hard and stone like, and
burn without any fame except a
small, pale blue one at first). The
bituminous Goals on the other hand,
are much softer, and burn with an
abundant, bright flame. When
heated in closed vessel these Goals
give off gas, that is used for illu-
limitations, coal oils, and a great
many other products. Some geolo-
gists suppose that Goals ofthis kind
were converted into anthracite by
heat, which drove off the volatile
portions. But this is another matter
that is not satisfactorily settled. 1t
is sufficient for our purpose to know
that coal ofall kinds, so necessary to
our comfort both as fuel and source
of light, and also, in all probability.
petroleum, and natural gas, had a
similar origin-the plants that grew
ages and ages ago. just think what
these plants were doing, longer ago
than we can conceive. They, as
they grew, worked into their growth
the suns rays, stored up their heat
and light, and kept them until you
and | should need them this winter,
to keep us warm, while another por.
ton of this "light of other days." in
the petroleum, or Kerosene, allows
us to enjoy reading by this light,
which shone upon the earth long
before man came; yes, and kept it
hidden and stored away in the rocks
until man should need it. Who
says that this world was not adinira.

No Boon that science has conferred,

Has been fraught with greater blessing than
that which has accrued to the inhabitants of
malarial ridden portions of the United States
and the Tropics from the use of Hostetters
Stomach Bitters. The experience of many
years has but too clearly demonstrated the in
efficiency of quinine and other drugs to effect
ually combat the progress of intermittent,
congestive and bilious remittent fevers, while
on the other hand, it has been no less clearly
shown that the use of this Bitters medicine
eongenial to the frailest constitution, and de-
rived from purely botanic sources, affords a
reliable safeguard against malarial disease,
and arrest 1T when developed. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general
debility and renal inactivity, 1t is also a most
efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are i'm
proved by 1t, 1t expels rheumatic humors from
the blood, and enriches a circulation impOver-
ished by mal-assimilation.

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.

We were pleased, a few days ago,
to receive a call from our venerable
countyman DR.. M. p. Nelson, of Mid
dleway, now in his Seth year, and as
yet quite hale and hearty. Whilst
here the Doctor afforded us an OPP
portunity of examining an ancient
paper which has recently come into
bis possession-being communica-
ton from his grandfather, Thomas
Nelson, then Governor of Virginia,
to Col. Swearinger, of Berkeley
County, asking for men to aid in
driving Lord CORVALLIS from lower
Virginia, through which his army
was then marching and committing
numberless depredations. Below
We give our readers a copy OF. the
letter, as taken from the original in
the hands of DR.. Nelson:
CAMP, June 9th, 1881.
Sir
The distress of the inhabitants of
the lower part OF the county, occa-
stoned by the ravages of the enemy,
which is it not in our power to pre-
vent with the army we have at pres
ent in the field, call loudly for assist
ance from every part OF the State
If speedy and vigorous methods are
not adopted, to check the violences
committed upon all who are within
their reach, fear the consequences
will be fatal, not only to this State
but to the American cause. Let me
entreat you, as you regard the inde-
tendency OF America, to make the ut
most exertions to send from. your
county every man who has rifle or a
gun to join the army. By mounting
these men on horses, (Which you are
hereby empowered to impress, their
march would be greatly expedited,
and their fatigue considerably les
soned, which would enable them to go
into action Immediately on their ar
rival in camp. To add ono word
more on this subject would be to i'm
peach your patriotism. | shall,
therefore, take my leave OF you by
assuring you that
| am, Sir,
Your most ob't serv't,
THos. NELSON, B. S.

with the men as many days provi-
sions as they can bring.
