SUPREMELY DELIGHTFUL

To the emaciated and debilitated invalid
is the sense of returning health and
strength produced by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. When that promoter of vigor is
tested by persons in feeble health, its re-
storative and vitalizing potency soon
evinces itself in improved appetite, diges-
tion and nightly repose the sole conditions
under which strength and nerve quietude
is vOuchsafed to the human system. A
gain in flesh of course ensues upon the re-
stOratiOn and assimilation. AS surely as
winter follows the fall of the leaf, does
disease shadow the footsteps of declining
strength, when the premature decadence
of vitality is not arrested. Marasmus,
consumption and other wasting maladies
are prompt TO Jasten upon the enfeebled.
Avert disease, therefore, with this grand
enabling tonic, which not only renews
failing strength, but mitigates and count
eracts the infirmities of age and those of
the the genJler sex. Rheumatism,
malaria, liver and kidney troubles yield
to IT,

A PECULIAR VINE THAT GROWS IN THE
WOODS OF NIcARAerA.
Leroy Dunstan, Q well known nat
draiist of New Orleans, who has
recently returned from CentraiAmer-
lea, where he has spent nearly two
years in the study Of fora fauna of
the country, relates the finding of
singular growth in one of the
swamps which surround the great
lake of Nicaragua He was engaged
in hunting for botanical and entomo-
logical specimens in this swamp,
which is known as San Sebastian's,
when he heard his dog cry out as if
in agony, from distance. Running
to the spot from which the animals 9
cries came, Mr.. Dunstan found him
enve,oped in n perfect network of
what seemed to be fine, rope like
tissue of roots or fibers, the nature
of which WAS unknown to him.
The plant or vine seemed compos-
ed entirely of bare, iuterlacing stems
resembling more than anything else
tho branches of a weeping willow de-
nuded of all foliage, but of a dark,
nearly black hue, and covered with n
thick, viscid gum that eNuded from
the pores. Drawing his knife, Dunstan
sndeavored to cat the animal
free, but it was only with the great
est difficulty that he succeed in sew
ering the feshy, muscular fiber To
and amazement the naturalist then
saw that dogs body was covered with
blood. while his hairless skin appear,
ed to have been actually sucked or
packard IN spots, and the animal
staggered rs if from weakness and
exhaustion.
In cutting the vine the twigs cur
led like living, sinuous fingers abou,
MIR. Dunstan's hand and it required
no slight force to free the members
from its clining clasp, which left thsg
the flesh red and blistered. Th:
gum exuding from the vine was of {
dark grayish tInge, remarkably ap
hesire and of disagreeab,e anima
order, very powerful and nauseatinl
to inhaie.
The native servants who accom-
panied Mr.. Dunstan manifested th'
creates. horror of the vine, whicl
they call In sagenas de diable-th

Coroner Jury Verdict.

The coroners jury sitting on the
case of Antonio Valenti, found drown
ed in the river Monday of last week,
returned the following finding Wed
nesday:
From the evidence We believe Antonia
Valenti came to his death by foul means,
and that John Commolia Gan ItalissJ and
VIM. Hs.iett (colored) were the parties who
committed the felony and murder, and af-
tervards did.ne away. That the jury is
unable to come to the conclusion a. to the
manner OF his death, but believe the afore-
said parties killed him. That the body OF
the deceased was found floating in the
Juniata river between the first and second
piers of the railroad bridge At Lewistown,
on tho borough side.
The jury base their verdict on the
following facts
Commolla and Hazlett were last
seer, IN company with Valenti near the
stsve house, Saturday night, q week,
about ii o'clock, when they seemed
to be quarreliug. Hazlett is report
ed to have made certain threats
against Valenti before this for some
alleged injury, and has not been seen
since that Saturday night, and while
Conmolia returned to work at Blk
ler's and was there Monday morning,
he disappeared soon after Valenti g
body was recovered. There WAS An
abrasion on the back of Valenti's
head as if made by a club. which
some contend broke his neck, and
blood eIuded from his mouth when
ne was raised from the water. Thi,
is the circumstancial evidence against
the indicted, but it Is far from being
conclusive, for Nalenti might have
attempted to come back over the
railroad bridge to obtain more liquor
ut the brewery and fallen through
and in falling obtained the abrasion
on the back of his neck Hazlett
would have disappeared anyhow be

A man who is always tinkering

Many Young men ride a mechani

young steam engines. To such
men, electricity possesses a most en-
