.sBLACK BEAUTY.o

The entertaining and instructive story published under the above name, and which is called the "Uncle Toms Cabin of the horse, has already reached wide circulation. It is only little over a year since the first edition was publish ed, and already more than half a million copies have been sold, This attests the wonderful popularity of the work, and these figures are believed to be more than double the number of copies ever printed of any book in America, and perhaps in the world, in the same length of time from publication.
 The prices of "Old Gold" edition are six cents at our office, ten cents when sent by mail; ''Terra Gotta 'and Board" editions on thicker paper twelve cents at our office and twenty cents when sent by mail. A lower price can be made when 1000 or more copies are ordered at once. Express and freight charges on 1000 copies rarely exceed half cent to a cent per copy. Write to Geo T.

THE DEEP EST AMERICAN WELL.

An inch we'll which is being sunk near Wheeling by the Wheeling I'm provement Company, in search for oil or gas, has reached, after several months of boring,a depth of 4, 100 feet. Both oil and gas have been struck through out in paying quantities. It has gone through several thick veins of coal, and has traversed layers of gold quartz, iron and numerous other minerals.
 Professor JIG. White, State Geologist who has watched the drilling closely, has succeeded in getting the govern ment interested in 1t. The result is that after the we'll has been sunk to the depth of one mile the government will take up the work, and under the direc- ton of expert officers of the Geological Survey, drill into the earth as far as hu- man skill can penetrate.
 The temperature and magnetic con- ditions will be observed as far as possi- ble, and, by means of an instrument con- structed for the purpose, complete record of the drilling and all discoveries made will be kept. This record will be placed in the Geological Surveys ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair and afterward preserved at Washington. Professor White and the government officers state that this will be one of the most novel and important exhibits at the Fair and will attract the attention of the scien- lists of the world d.-Scientific American

Prof. Brewers Snake Story.

Prof. Brewer tells a snake story. Years ago he was in California and had his tripod and other surveyors instru, ments in the field. Stepping along in the bushes he felt a movement under his feet, and found that he was stand ing on a ur-and-a-half-foot rattle snake-a large, vicious and a fighting fellow. But the snake was so com pletely pinioned that he could not strike the thick boot that held him fast. Prof. Brewer held the rat tiers head down with the tripod and cut it off. Then he cut off his rattles. Stepping aside, he saw the body of the snake, partly coiled, lying very still. Taking out his rule to measure its length, the professor took hold of the snake to straighten him out "Quick as an electric shock, " said Prof Brewer, 'that headless snake brought the bloody stump over and struck hard blow upon the back of my hand. " He added, 'I knew that his head was off and that he could not poison me, but that quick and hard blow of the rattler fairly made my hair stand on end "-New Haven Palladium.

ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD,

Mere Business for tho Poughkeepsie
 Bridge. Forty Thousand Cars per
 annum to be received from the New
 York q Vow England Road.
 The directors of the Pougekeepsie Bridge company have effected a traffic arrangement with New York and New England railroad by which the latter company will use the bridge for its through traffic, abandoning the ferry at Newburyh. by means of which it at pres ent reaches the Erie railroad. This arrangement was conditional upon the construction by the bridge company of connecting line from the bridge to the New England railroad To build this link will cost about $4OO,OO The largest stockholders in the bridge have b'en called upon for subscriptions, and it was announced last week that the entire mount had been made up except few thousand dollars. The bridge authorities expect that the completion of the connecting link will give to the bridge an additional business of about 40, 900 cars per annum, which is the traffic now passing over the Newburgh ferry. y.-Danbury News.

Likes the Sting of tho Bee.

Some obstinate men will say "No, thank you," to the most disinterested propositions for their welfare Dr. O'Neil, of Lincoln, has friend who endures the sting of the honey bee without finching. In fact he rather likes it. He keeps bees for pleasure, and the bees, for their pleasure or otherwise, often sting him. He now, however, believes himself sting proof. The tiny wound that used to produce severe pain in former days causes now ''only a little pleasurable sensation. :" He is still unfortified against the wasp. Stung by one of those formidable in sects short time ago, Dr. O'Neill's friend had sufferings acute and pro- longed.
 But it might be that after few rep etitions the sting of the wasp might cease in him to produce it's stinging effects. So he has suggested to his friend that flor the sake of science" he should take the matter up and thoroughly investigate it, in order that he might discover whether he could not also fortify himself against the pain caused by the sting of the wasp. This, says the doctor, with whose disappoint- ment the public will no doubt sym pathize, the friend "declined to do, his thirst for science not being sufficiently great to induce him to have any further intercourse with the wasp if he could he1D if 5

Died from HDOcking.''

It is said upon very good authority that valuable horse died in Danbury stable few days ago from the effects of the brutal custom of docking" In other stables in this city docking" is practiced, and as it is clearly within the limits of cruelty the Humane officers should put stop to it, as it is being done in others places. In Philadelphia several arrests have been made for this same thing and the society will war against gentlemen who have had the tails of their horses 'docked," which is really nothing more or less than a cruel process of cutting away portion of the horses vertebrw extending half way down the tail. The operation was practiced by hunters in England some years ago but has been prevented by law-Danbury News.

Yet the Papers All Do It.

It has been rather of provincial cus- tom for newspapers, when reporting so cial entertainments, to advertise the names of the caterer, leader of he or chestra and the decorators who were engaged for the evening. Why this should be so, when they are paid for their business services, nobody seems to know. When there is 0 wedding in question, there is Just as much reason for giving free advertisement to the dressmaker who makes the wedding dress, to the tailor who makes the bridegroom's suits, to the jeweler who supplies the wedding gifts. the florist who sells the button hole bouquets, to the launderer who washes, stretches and irons the bridegroom 8 shirt bosom, and to the barber who waxes and curls the moustaches of the ushers.

A Steel Car.

A peculiarly shaped passenger car passed through here yesterday after noon. It was cylindrical in shape and made of steel. The special property claimed for it is that it's strength pre- vents telescoping in collision and it's shape is against the serious injury of passengers if thrown off the track and rolled down an embankment. Its in- terior is elegantly upholstered and it's heating system is also constructed on g line with its other projections against possible injury to occupants. Being constructed of steel of course it cannot burn up. It was made by the Boston Steel Car company, and is as yet only and experiment.-New London Tele graph.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be'taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars, free.

Horse with a Mustache.

A horse with a mustache is some- thing of a novelty, and such curiosity attracted quite large crowd on Front street one afternoon. The animal is jet black, and from his upper lip grows a bunch of hair of a light color and as thick as the hair on his body, but meas uring over two inches in length and as stiff as bristles. This hair parts in the middle and curls to the side, as does a mustache on the lip of man, showing that it has been quite as carefully trained.
