there was scarcely day that she was not
hoarse.
As some of this catarrhal poison extended to
the bronchial tubes of her lungs she felt .
tightness and weight in her chest. She coughed
badly, and as her disease further advanced she
could get but little sleep and felt tired an
worn out In the morning.
In her weak condition every change Of
weather would give her . cold. Her appetite
failed, and she had belching of gas and q
nauseous, sick feeling at her stomach after
eating. and she had bad tasts in her mouth
every morning.
Her brother, Mr.. Henry L. Ehrhardt, also
suffered from catarrh. While he had many of
the above symptoms, the disease so affected
his head that he became quite deaf. He had .
dropping of catarrhal mucus from his head
into his throat, where IL became very tenacious
and hard to expectorate. As they were per-
sonally acquainted with Mrs. Bratt, whose por-
trait appeared IN this paper few weeks since,
and knew Of her permanent cure by the physi-
clans of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute

for the benefit Of others who suffer from
catarrh, they add:
To Whom 1t May Concern:

our cases is true, And that We have been cured
as stated. In proof We hereby sign our names.

The SYNOD of Baltimore reconvened on
Friday at o'clock. Devotional exercises
were led by Hon f. d. Freeman of Balti-
more, after which the minutes of yester-
day's sessions were read for approval, The
recorded action of the synod in expunging
certain part of the minutes OF the last
synod, Objectionable to the Rev. John
Squire, and subsequently asking permis-
sion of the General Assembly to do so, was
discussed for half hour
Or. Vallandigham stated that, relative TO
the right of the synod to eNpunge part oi
its record, that if the proceedings of the
United States Senate were guide, the
synod could do so. On one occasion there
appeared in the Senates minutes a reiec-
fion Of President Andrew Jackson. AT a
later date, when his friends had the ma
iority the same was expunged.
The approval of the minutes was stls-
pended and the action of the synod re-
ferred TO above, in adopting the report OF
the committee on minutes OF the synod,
was reconsidered. On motion of the Rev.
Mr.. Barrett the report was amended so as
to read, '.Expunge the matter objectionable
to the Rev. John Squire, subject to, the
permission OF the General Assembly, which
permission is hereby asked" and then
adopted The subsequent request OF the
| General Assembly, made yesterday, was
| then withdrawn.

tice of an appeal to the General Assembly,
so that it would not appear on the min
utes, and the minutes were then approved.
! The recommendations Of the committee
on new Windsor College, which were sub
mitted yesterday was taken up for discus
sion. They are as follows:
!. The synod Of Baltimore appreciates most
| highly the generosity OF The Rev. A. NJ. Jelly,
| D. D., president and proprietor q New Wind,
1 sor College, in making this exceedingly liberal
| offer to trans er TO the synod, New Wlndsor
l College upon payment of one-half OF fair
| cash valuation OF the property, said valuation
| TO be determined by committee.
O. That synod desires to accept the offer OF
| DIR. Jelly, II the way shall seem clear And 70
that end synod requests Or. Jelly to keep his
| offer ope until synod can ascertain what can
| be done to raise the necessary funds, nean-
| while making such provision in his viii, as
shall give the option of purchase to synod In
| case Of his sudden death.
3. That this committee be continued and De
! authorized by synod TO receive such tenders OF
money as may be made toward the end IN
view.
Stated Clerk j. B. Carter spoke in favor
of the adoption of the recommendations.

a WEST GRoYE APPARITToN.
The Residents Of Neighboring Town
Much Alarmed.

The West Grove, Pa, Independent tells
the following: For a couple weeks past,
residents Of western Summit avenue have
noticed after nightfall a strange man
skulking along the streets, standing little
while trying to peer into the houses then
starting of short distance, and again
hiding himself behind trees. One night
he was observed standing in front Of a
house occupied only by a woman and
children until after midnight, when he
suddenly disappeared.
Last Friday night a couple of men re
solved to investigate and accordingly sta.
toned themselves in one of the houses,
where after sitting for some time they saw
the knob of the door turned as if an at
tempt was made to enter, They instantly
sprang to the door, opened 1t, and there
running from them, with the speed Of u
deer, was human form, to which they
gave chase, following him over cabbage
patch and through fields until he disap-
peared in the woods. In the meantime q
gang of boys and young men had assem-
bled, and learning the condition Of affairs,
Joined in pursuit by dividing into parties
of three or four, but the whole search
! proved fruitless. The what Was IT.
eluded all their endeavors and faded away
| like a mist.
He has not been seen since, and the
| timid ladies of Summit avenue are praying
that his nocturnal visits are at an end.

A Snow Hill correspondent writes !:
Fish have never been known to be so
plentiful along this region of the coast
as at present, and sea trout and drum
fish Of the largest kind are being caught
in abundance. A few days ago party
of four succeeded in catching three r
rels full of these fish in less than two
hours time. Heretofore our fishermen
have depended on the bay solely for
their catch, where, by reason of the shall
low water, cool weather and equinoctial
gales the fish disappear by the first Of
October, but this year they have been
wise enough to try deep-sea fishing, and
are in consequence reaping harvest. A
great many sportsmen from Baltimore
and other cities are being attracted by
the large catches.

In Love with English Railroads.

An American actor who is travelling
through England writes: "Iet me assure
you that am as patriotic as when sail
ed out Of New York, but really / must
take of my hat to the superb railroad
system Of carrying theatrical troupes in
England. We have been on n tour two
OF three months and we have always had
two elegant carriages or cars entirely 10
ourselves. These are not compartments
like the ordinary English carriage,
but saloon carriages, with another for
our star and her maid. The roads make
up these special trains on Sunday for
theatrical people only. For instance, our
troupe desires to 90 from Birmingham
10 Manchester; another troupe is booked
from Birmingham TO Derby, and still
another from Derby to Liverpool. The
railroad makes up its special, takes the
two companies from Birmingham, drops
one at Derby takes up the other there,
and carries the last to Liverpool. 1t is
economical and it Is comfortable. This
is going on all over the Kingdom on
Sunday, and the Midland carries an i'm
mense number of travelling players. -

FARMvILLE, Va, January 2j.-Receipts
during the week amounted 10 ls9, ll5 pounds,
compared with 233,76j pounds last week.
The total number Of pounds sold here since
January /, 1890, is 6O3,63O. The quality, if
anything. is inferior TO previous offerings.
Prices, however, remain active, and must
confess, from reports received by farmers
who have been in the habit Of selling their
tobacco on this market for years past, they
seem more justiIable. 10 is now esti-
mated that the sales here this season
will not exceed three and halt million
pounds. The planters continually complain
of the big outlay in raising tobacco, but
when they are called upon to pay laborers
one dollar and halt per day in competition
with contractors building and extending
railroads through the dark tobacco belt, we
should think they would stop temporarily
i'm cultvating a crop that cannot be made
good unless well worked and attended 10
properly. {. W. BONNER * Co.

The following story of monkeys
heroism is told by an Indian paper: "A
large ourang outang was very much at
tached to his master and to the baby boy,
who was the pet Of the whole family.
One day a fire suddenly broke out in the
house. and everybody was running here
and there to put it out, while the little
boy in his nursery was almost forgotten,
and when they thought of him the stair
case was all in flames. What could be
dones AS they were looking up and
wondering, a large, hairy hand and arm
opened the window, and presently the
monkey appeared with the baby in his
arms, and carefully climbed down over
the porch, and brought the child safely
TO his nurse. Nobody else could have
done it, for man cannot climb like a
monkey, and is not nearly so strong.
You may imagine how the faithful crea-
ture was praised and petted after that.
This is a true story, and the child who
was saved was the young Marquis Of Kill
