CATARR RA.

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
cold in the head; and he often expresses his
aStoniShment at his remarkable tendency to
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly
careful; it is also matter of surprise to him
that the cold always seems to settle in the
head and throat.
At times many OF the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate, and the patient is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear off; but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns 10 his horror, that instead of recovery
from the disease, IL is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.
A sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in
reading speaking or singing; hoarseness at
times occurs a sensation of dryness is felt in
the throat, or 1T appears that some foreign
substance, as, for instance, hair, obstructed
the throat; there becomes u sense of languOr
and fetigue; the breath lessers on a little
eXertion, short, hacking cough, peculiar
sound in clearing the throat, feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest TO breathe; these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then 1t is a time when consumption
to this" time the iprogress of the disease may
have been slow and the patient may, in
expressing his confident hope that it will
''wear off," declare that he has had the catarrh
for years and has not seemed to become much
worse, and trusts that he will "by and by''
recover; But this ,delusion is the grand error
which has peopled our cemeteries with con-
sumpt1ve forms, as all forms of catarrh end
finally in consumption.
Consultation and one application at the
Office FREE.

TO their cases had better call at the Office for an

TRAINS BEHIND TIME,
But the Situation at Buffalo Is
Greatly Improved.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 12.-As the
oay advanced the situation appeared
considerably improved. Trains were
arriving and departing more nearly on
schedule time, and through trains ar
rived from the East on better time than
yesterday. and Western connections
were not so ogreatly delayed. Train No.
5 arrived from New York at 10 O'Clock
nearly four hours late. all OF which
time was lost at Syracuse, as she ar
rived at Canastota only fifteen minutes
late. The Chicago and New York linn
tied trains got away all right The
engineers and firemen are doing their
own switching this morning, and do
not appear to be much in SYM
pathy with the strikers. Superintend-
morning. Attaches of his Office re-
better shape than yesterday. Every
thing about the depot failed to corrobo-
rate the statement that the Lake Shore
and Michigan Central trainmen had
been ordered out. All the men on these
roads are going out with their trains as
usual. A Central switch engineer who
had just pulled heavy train into the
train house with his engine, said:
There is no chance of the firemen or
engineers being affected by this strike.
There have been no attempts to get
either the tiremen or engineers out that
| know Of" This was corroborated by
his fireman. Gen. Doyle said that while
the militia here are in readiness to act
should they be needed, he did not con-
slider it likely that their services would
be required.

or to enter into conference with view to
settlement claiming that the men are not
now in the company's employ,
Adjt. Gen. Porter, when asked re-
gardlng the movement of the state
troops in connection with the strike OH
the New York Central road. said: "Up
to this hour there has not been a dol
lars worth of property destroyed OF a
single act of violence committed, so far
as | can learn. AS whole, the strikers
are behaving admirably, and are i'll
good temper. Gov. Hill had conSulta
tion with some of the leaders this fore
noon. and after listening to the griev-
ances, he called their attention to the
situation at Dewitt, and asked that all
hostile demonstrations there be stopped,
and they promised that his request
would be complied with this afternoon.
Immediately after the interview some Of
them started for Syracuse, ana the re-
suit is that they have brought about
what they promised. The company has
now peaceably resumed the possession
of its property at that place, and its
trains are running through there with
out molestation. 1t is doubtful whether
any troops will be now needed unless an
unexpected change i'll the situation oc-
ours. The state authorities are pre-
pared for any emergency, and Will act
without fear or hesitation. vigorously
and promptly, whenever such action Is
realIynecessary but they will only use
force as last extremity and then only
for the protection of property and the
prevention of violence. The strikers
profess a desire to avoid violence, and
we shall believe them to be sincere
until we see evidence to the contrary.

JUST LIKE A VOLCANO. !
Natural Gas Makes a Graveyard
Spit Fire.

3 SHELBYv1LLE, Ind, Aug. ia vol
eanic eruption is now taking place in
this county. At 9 o'clock this morn
ing the denizens of Waldron and vicin-
ity living near the Ogden graveyard,
ten miles southeast of this point, were
thrown into great excitement by the
npheaval of the earth and the falling
of stones and mud in the neigh
borhood. About three miles south of
Waldroa, at point where Conn's creek
empties into Flat Rock river, the
streams form horseshoe bend, and
within the bend are about ten acres of
land. At this point terrific eXplo-
sion or upheaval occurred, tearing holes
in the ground and igniting surrounding
objects from burning gas. j. ii. Towe,
who lives Oh the farm where the eX-
plosion occurred this morning, says
he heard a terrific report and felt
the earth quivering beneath his feet.
He went toward the graveyard, and was
soon confronted by sheet of flame 200
feet high. Then fifty OF more fountains
of fire burst from the earth. These were
interSpersed with six or eight geySerS.
The river bed was torn to pieces, and
the huge assures were receiving the
rivers water. Sheets of flames swept

an area of one acre was quickly
converted into huge hole, from which
a continuous roaring and rumbling
noise proceeded. Within the bend Of
the river, and for one-eigbth of a mile
along the stream, great rents are in the
earth and In the river ped. At the
bend of the river in the bank, which is
of limestone, is fracture quarter of
mile long. Stones the size of
a house have been hurled from their
places. The graveyard was shaken up,
the skeletons of the dead being dis
tinctly seen in the fractures of the
earth. Gas flows freely from the entire
surface of the ten acres. Many theories
have been advanced as to the cause of the
upheaval. Many people contend that it
was spontaneous combustion of nat
ural gas. Others think that the up
heaval was volcanic. Mr.. Towe, who
got to the scene of the gas ig-
nited, is sure the upheaval was vocanic.
Inhabitants in the locality became wild
with excitement, and many left their
homes. Within the last eighteen
months there have thirteen gas wells
sunk in the locality of the graveyard,
and, while each has had some gas, none
have been gushers.
