hole. His brother climbed the tree and
caught the thing by the tail aud flung it
down at Will, who thought it was jump

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is

Good digestion gives sound sleep. indigestion
interferes with 1t. The brain and stomach
sympathiZe. one ofthe prominent symptoms
of a weak state OF the gastric organs is a dis
turbance OF the great nerve entrepot. the
store equilibrium TO the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostel
ter's stomach Bitters, which is far preferable
to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics,
to act, and invariably injure the tone Of the
stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, re-
store activity TO the operations OF that all
important organ, and their beneficent inilu-
euce is reflected in sound sleep and a tranquil
state Of the nervous system. A wholesome
impetus is likewise given to the action of the
liver and bowels by its use.

Serious Accident.-For some weeks
a force of men has been engaged in max
ing repairs to the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad bridge at Shepherdstown. On
Wednesday afternoon while heavy
timber was being swung into position in
the trestle work on the Maryland side
it knocked the support from under one
of the men, George Below, and he was
thrown TO the ground below, distance
Of about forty feet. As may be sup
posed, he was quite badly hurt. Drs.
John and Allen 5. Reynolds were sum-
moned and the unfortunate man re-
moved to his clearinghouse. 1t was
found that both Of his wrists were bro
ken, deep cash cut in his heal, his
side and thigh badly bruised, and that
he had numerous other sprains and con-
tusions. He was badly used up, but his
injuries are not at all likely to prove
fatal. Mr.. Bellew is married man,
having wife and four children, and
lives at Riverton, Va. One day last
week the boss Of the repair gang fell
near the same place, but as he only
dropped about fifteen feet he escaped
without any broken bones.
