Frightened by an Old Hag.

4 dispatch from the Blue Mountain
House, near Pen-Mar, says that Miss
Butler, daughter of Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, received quite q
fright from "a half-demented creature
who inhabits the caves in the noun
tains. and picks berries and herbs for
a livelihood. With u daughter of
Judge Thayer, of Philadelphia, Miss
Butler was chatting in the summer
house on the lower lawn, when the
old hag made her appearance. She
has most hideous form and calcula-
ted to brighten any one. Her height
is little over three feet, her face the
acme of ugliness, while the nails
upon her feet and hands are from two
to three inches long and as black as
ink. Not "a tooth has she in her head,
so that she only mumbles her wants
and desires She can yell loud enough
however, a. it was one of her shrieks
that first attracted the attention of
the ladies to her. Her body was al
most nude, few rags sewed together
answering for dress. As soon as
the ladies saw her they ran as fast as
they could to the hotel. The hag ran,
too, and might have overtaken them
had not Mr. James p. Shannon and
several other gentlemen rushed to
their rescue. The old woman was led
away by an officer and cautioned
never to return to the Blue Mountain
grounds again. She is we'll known to
the mountaineers, and is regarded
as a harmless creature. She is called
the Wild Woman of the Mountains,
and is frequently quoted to naughty
children by indiscreet nurses.

A West Virginia Samson.

Matt. Kramer, of Putnam county,
this State, who is supposed by men
who know him to be the strong
est man in the civilized world, is at
tracing the attention of the sporting
circles far and near. One of his re-
cent feats, in which almost superhu-
man strength is called into account,
was witnessed only few days ago by
a number of the best citizens. He
raised, apparently with the greatest
ease, a huge pedestal weighing thir-
teen hundred pounds and held it aloft
above his head for several seconds,
Mr.. Kramer is over six feet in height
and tips the beam at 2S5 pounds. 1t
has been frequently asserted by pa
pers in this section of the State that
he has exhibited deeds of strength
that would make the renowned Aus
tralian giant turn green with envy,
and Editor Tippett this week an
nounces in his paper that this modern
Samson can tie Sullivan with one
hand and thrash the "Boston-baked
beans" out of him with the other
There are men in this county who
will stake 81, 600 that he is the strong
est human being in existence today

Must Have Been Strong Medicine.

Mr.. John H. Grove, well-known
citizen of Middletown Valley, Md,
met with a singular and serious acct
dent on Monday last. While endeav-
oring to remove the stopper from a
large bottle of cough mixture, which
had ferlnented, the bottle exploded
with tremendous report, intlictinS
a terrible wound clear across the I'M
derside of the right wrist. One of
the arteries and one of the tendons
were severed, and another tendon and
artery was partially severed. The
same arm was badly cut above the
wrist. The thumb on the left hand
was split open. His face was also cut
by the flying fragments of glass. Mr..
Grove was in great danger of bleeding
to death until assistance arrived. DR..
Hardy, of Burkettsville, who rendered
the necessary surgical aid, stated that
the wound on Mr.. Groves wrist was
the worst he had seen for many years.
Mr.. Groves condition is regarded as
dangerous.

Idleness Is a DANGEROUS Fault

In the kidneys. When inactive they speed
lily fall into disrepair. Those obstinate and
fatal naladies, Brights disease and diabetes,
ensue with terrible certainty upon the in
actions of the organs affected. Catarrh OF
the bladder, enuresis, gravel and strangury
are also to be apprehended from a partial
paralysis of the bladder, Of which weakness
and sluggishness are the causes. Hostetters
stomach Bitters is a fine tonic and promoter
OF activity for the renal organs, and one
which can be relied upon to afford them the
requisite stimulus without exciting them
an effect To be feared from the unmedicated
alcoholic excitant of commerce, A further
benefcent effect of the Bitters, by renewing
activity OF the kidneys, is to enable them to
drain rom the blood in its passage through
them impurities productive OF rheumatism
and dropsy. Nervousness, fever and ague,
constipation and dyspepsia are conquered by
the Bitters.

MAKE THE POTOMAC NAvleABLE.

There is one good way to put an
end to the question Of what shall be
done with the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal, and that is to make the Po-
tomac river navigable by system of
locks and dams to be built by the
United States government. Slack
water navigation would be far prefer
able to the canal, and it is a perfectly
feasible plan. There are no engineer
ing difficulties that could not easily
be surmounted, and the cost would
not be out of proportion to the bene-
fits. The Potomac is noble stream
that stretches from the ocean TO the
great coal fields of Maryland and
West Virginia, and the coal traffic
alone would Justify its Improvement,
TO say nothing of the other branches
of business along its course that would
assume vast proportions if given an
opportunity for development. Every
wear the government appropriates
enough money TO improve insigniti-
cant creeks to make the Potomac
navigable from source to mouth
why shall it not have the same ad-
vantages? Hundreds of thousands
of dollars are annually expended
on Cheesequake Creek, Gowanus
Bay. Sumpowanus Inlet and Sanger
ties Harbor-is not the Potomac as
deserving as they?
This is a matter that deeply con
Germs the people of Maryland, Vir
ginia and West Virginia. Let the
Representatives in Congress from
these States be appealed to by their
constituents, and the matter pushed
so vigorously and enthusiastically
that in a few years the melodious
BRAY of the canal mule will be heard
no more forever, while the business
like snort of the steamboat will make
music in the land.
It's been ''all quiet along the Po-
tomac" long enough. Let's have the
hustle of successful business along its
lovely shores.
