Herbert Smith, of Bridgeport, Conn,
has quail that flew in through his
window about a year ago, and which
he has tanned so successfully that il
eats from his hand and seems entirely
domesticated It is left at liberty in
the house, where it is very apt to sit
in the lap of some one of the family,
and, when taken out of doors, never
tries to escape. Cases of such COM
plete domestication of full grown
quail are believed to be very rare

Are We TO Have Another war

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that as it may, the battle
waged by medical science against disease
will never cease until we arrive at that
utopian epoch when the human family
shall cease to be afflicted with bodily
ailments. One of the most potent
weapons which the armory of medicine
furnishes, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is of special utility as a family
remedy, as it is adapted to the imme-
date relief and ultimate cure of those
disorders of the liver and bowels which
are of the commonest occurrence. In
digestion, biliousness and constipation
are inseparable companions, and these
ailments are completely eradicated by
the Bitters. But the remedial scope OF
this superlatively wholesome and
genial medicine takes in also nervous
ailments, rheumatism and kidney trou-
bles; its actions in these as in the other
complaints, being characterized by un-
equaled thoroughness.

Cursed by Himself.

A Detroit special to the Cincinnati Enoui
rer says: Several days ago Patrick Gala
CHER felt in his coet-pocket for his pipe. II
was not there, and its absence caused him
to make terrible wish. His wife reproved
him. well, don't care" he said. Here,
with this uplifted hand to heaven, 1 pray
that my Creator will paralyze the man who
has my pipe" Before his utteraDce bad
died away Gallagher felt severe twitchiDg
of the heart, and complsioed of feeling nn-
we'll. A doctor was hastily despatched for,
and said that he had received stroke OF
paralysis. As Gallagher was IN straitened
circumstances it was deemed best to remove
him for treatment to the Home for the
Aged Poor, corner Scott and DequiDdre
streets. which was accordingly done DR..
Kaiser, the attending physician, pronounced
the case critical one, and death ensue6 10

family were at loss TO understand hi5 sud.
den death. Yesterday. in looking through
his clothes. removed at the time ofthe para
lytc stroke, they were filled with supersti-
tious horror, for in ooe Of his outside pockets
was found the missing pipe, which had
worked its way into the lining. Since the
occurrence it seems az though the family
were afflicted with trouble. The death
angel several days ago took away Patrick's
favorite child. A married daughter, with
several more of the children, are now on
the sick list suffering with q mysterious
mslady, which is battling the medical fra
ternity. The neighborhood is stirred up By
the peculiar affair.

PROSPECTIVE.


As yet there is at least $3.50 900 worth of
improvements in sight, with possible ad.
dition of $50 O00, all of which will start when
the danger OF violent frosts is past.
The street railway did not begin operations
in the fall, on account of the men who com
tracted for the laying of the tracks being
afraid of an early winter Had the weather
of the past few months been an assured fact
the road would now be in operation Ground
will be broken early in the spring, and as the
poles, wires and much of the machinery are
now at the Rock Island depot. there is no
cause to doubt that the work will be pushed
forward rapidly. The cost will be about
$4,000.
That the voters Of Ottawa will decide in
favor of $4,000 city hall on the 18th of
February, is almost foregone conclusion.
The splendid row of brick residences on
Columbus street, the foundation for which is
already laid, will be pushed forward by Mr.
Hess when the birds call their mates. 1t
will cost $685. 900.
There is no actual certainty that the Bap-
fists Will erect their new church this season,
but it is barely possible, and if erected it
will probably cost $4,000.
II the church is built, the season starts
out with 100000 of improvements at the
irst toss Of the ball. and from the sentiments
it will close as the heaviest build
ing year that Ottawa has ever known.
