Don't be discouraged about that
eczema till you have given Ayers
Sarsaparilla n persistent trial. Six
bottles Of this medicine cured the
complaint for George $. Thomas, of
Ada, Ohio, when other remedies
failed to afford any relief.
A force of men are still searching
for the dead ut Johnstown, and will
continue work all Summer. One
day last week three bodies were
found, one of whom was easily rec
ognized and identified. Scarcely Il
day passes that some portion of n
human body is not brought to light.
The evils resulting from habitual
contiveness are many and serious
but the use of harsh, drastic purga-
tives is quite as dangerous. In
Ayers Pills, however, the patient
has mild but effective aperient,
superior to all others, especially for
family use.
As this is the season for ivy poison
let us give you n cheap and sure cure.
As soon as you discover the poison
on your body rub the parts with wet
table salt until the blisters open.
Leave the salt dry on the poison
and repeat the operation until irrita-
tion ceases. One or two good rub.
bings will do the work.

Our TroXelyille correspondent says
that Mrs. Robert Hassinger has not
yet been found. Shortly before
leaving she expressed fear of be-
ing sent to the Asylum of theinsane
ut Danville, and it is thought this
caused her to flee. 1t is possible
that she could subsist on berries,
but suspicion is growing that she is
assisted in her concealment by some
person for some obscure purpose.
The stage route between McKees
Falls and Middleburgh is growing
into wonderful popularity which is
all due to the gallantry of Mr.. Ker
stetter who holds the ribbons behind
the Team of bays. His courtesy
and etiquette to the ladies would
distance the attentions of Chester
field and is SO acceptable that fish
ing excursions ola the U. S. mail
route are becoming very popular
People should not mistake his
snowy locks for age--they are the
fruits of experience, for in grace and
gayety he is but lad of sixteen.
A Louisville man has succeeded in
beating drop-nickel-in-the slot
box. He first bored hole in the
coin and then fastened to it small
black silk thread. He then dropped
the nickel in the slot as directed by
the sign and drew out the cigar
Seeing that nothing was stated in
the directions as to how many times
one nickel could be dropped in, he
drew his nickle out and dropped it
in again. Succeeding the second
time, he continued to draw until he
emptied the box. He was cheered
by the crowd until he was arrested.
