saulted by "A RiHctt Eteud.


Roaeville, Chester county, three miles
above Centreyille, Delaware, mud about
IL mill from this city, was terribly ex-
cited early on Saturday morning by the
outrage and attempted murder Of Mnry
Callahan, an old widowed woman uf 60
years. The lady lives alone in hel hous,.
and about 8 o'clock in tho morning, she
was awakened by noise ut the front
door. Ol~ning the window to ascertain
the cause of the noise, she received u
bullet in thn left breast. She Immediately
called for help, and going downstairs she
started out tho front door TO seek aid,
when the villain, who wns negro, seized
her and violently assaulted her. He was
scared of by passing oarriage, and the
poor victim lay until nearly O'clock,
when neighbors hearing moans in the
house discovered her.
DIR. Joseph IL. Chandler, who was sum.
moned, failed to extract the ball, but does
not fear immediate serious consequences,
A search for the perpetrator of the ont
rage resulted in the arrest of three eolored
men, one of whom, James Brown, is
thought to be the guilty one, as bloody
shirt which he changed on the morning
of the outrage WAR found OF his boarding
house, and other circumstantial evidence
is forthcoming. From latest accounts thu
woman is in fair way to recovery. MS the
ball did not touch vital spot.

Kirwin Independent; Farmers are
now considering how they can reduce
the cost of raising corn and it is pretty
generally conceded that the lister will
cut down the expense peg or two. If
farmers would consider as intelligently
how to increase the price as they do how
to decrease the cost of production. there
would not be quite so many mortgaged
farms and teams in this sunshiny coun-
try.

SONNET.

When acorns fall and swallows troop for flight,
And hope matured slow mellows to regret,
And autumn, pressed by winter for his debt,
Drops leaf on leaf till she be beggared quite
Should then the crescent moons unselhsh light
Clean up the sky just as the sun doth set,
have met,
Prolongs the cleaning and retards the night.
So, fair young life, new risen upon mine,
Just as it owns the edict of decay
And Fancy's fires should pale and pass away,
My menaced glory takes glow from thine,
And, in the deepening shutdown of my day,
Thou with thy dawn delayest my decline.

OF MARY'S LITTLE DOLL.

Mary had little doll,
There's nothing strange in that.
Its wool was white, like other dolls,
Its little nose was fiat,
Its cheeks were red as roses are,
Its eyes the kind that shut,
Its dress pinned OMIT seemed, in short,
A common dolly
But
When round its dainty waist she felt,
And touched hidden spring,
1t warbled, underneath its belt;

Here do we ''banish all worry and sorrow
Here we look forward to every tomorrow.
Except to the morrow that parting brings
The guest who here can moon or NOPE
Shall lose of gayety the hope,

Every Woman Knows Them

The human bodyis much like good clock
or watch in j IS movements; if one goes too
slow or too fast, so follow all the others, and
bad time results; if one organ or set of Or
gans works imperfectly, perversion of
functional effort of all the organs is sure to
follow. Hence it is that the numerous all
ments which make woman's life miserable
are the direct issue of the abnormal action
of the uterine system. For all that numer-
GUS class of symptoms-and every woman
knows them-there is one unfailing remedy,
DIR. Pierce's 'Favorite Prescription" the
favorite of the sex.

partner in his New York speculateons,
who had been supposed dead for SO many
years, bequeathing all his property, of
every kind whatsoever, to Theron Banks,

real estate in Denver alone, to say
nothing of his share in the Salvation
