A SHOWER of toads at Olamon, Me-, was
recently reported in the Boston Journal,
which led Gilbert l.. Dwinell of Marshfeld
to write the Journal as follows: "The mil
lions of small toads mentioned in your
Maine dispatch did not rain down, neither
were they blown off the ground at some
distant point and carried there to amaze
the fnders but they were bred in that
place. l have seen them many times about
this time of the year so thick on the ground
that it would be impossible to walk without
treading on them, and covering acres in
area. This may seem like big story to
any one not raised in the woods, but it can
be proven by innumerable witnesses"

FRANTIC WITH B0ILS
And Itching, Would Scratch Until
Blood Ran Down His Limbs. Forced
to Take to His Bed. Whole System
Affected. Doctor after Doctor With
out Cure. Instant Relief, Speedy
Cure by Using Cuticura Remedies.

My sutferings might have been stopped if 1
had only known o. your CUTICURA REMEDIES
eighteen years ago. l contracted the fever and
ague, and it effected my kidneys so badly that
had to have an operation, from which resulted
blood poison and suffered untold agones. To
make my suflerings more, my left leg below the
knee broke out in large blood boils, and COM
menced scaly, itching irritation, so that at
times / was almost frantic, and would scratch
until the blood would trckle down my leg. In
the summer these large boils would commence,
during which time would have three or four
which were so painful that at times was forced
to take to my bed. Every winter a dry itching
scaly mass would gather on my leg, which with
the bols, seemed to effect my whole system.
During all this time, a period of three to nine
months, had doctor after doctor, but they gave
me only temporary relief This last fall COM
menced using your CUTICURA, CUTICURA SOAP,
and CUTICURA REsOLVENT, and now the scales
have all gone, the itching all gone, have not
felt sick, and have worked all winter. wotl
not suffer again as have for the past eighteen
years for anything. l had doctors from the
west to the east all to no purpose. l have not
felt so well OF been so long without sick spell
since taking your remedies. Thanks to them
and to you, and the great Maker of mankind
for my returning health.

FOREIGN IN BRIEF.

THE yellow fever has made its appearance
in Mexico, along the Pacific coast, and many
deaths are reported daily. The epidemic is
especially severe in the city of Mazatlan.
THE minister of war in Germany has or
dered that the handles of all hatchets, axes
and besieging material of the German army
must hereafter be made of American hickory
wood.
The report that cholera is raging in
Naples, Italy, is emphatically denied and
the officials and the Italian embassy in Lon
don state that they are not aware of its eX-
istence anywhere in Italy.
PRINCESS AMELIA, wife of Baron Paul
Huegel and youngest sister of the Duke of
Teck, died last Saturday at Gratz, the
capital of Syria, Austria, The princess
was an aunt OF Princess May, wife of the
Duke of York.
The cholera is reported to be spreading
among the poorer classes in Moscow. Much
Indignation is felt in Russia because the di-
rector of prisons, upon learning that there
was cholera in the Moscow prisons, ordered
a majority of the prisoners to be removed to
four other cities thus increasing the danger
of spreading of the infection. There have
been no cases so far in st. Petersburg. In
Poloda and other infected places the death
rate has not lessened.
GEN. ADAM +. KING, late consul general
from the United States to France returned
to this country last week. In reply to ques-
ton regarding the cause of the present
trouble between France and Siam, he said .
There is no doubt that the cause can be
found in the desire of the French TO foster
colonization schemes. They are reaching
out in Dahomey and elsewhere in Africa
and have established themselves in Tonkin
and seem to be bent now upon acquisitions
abroad, The French are quick and must
have new sensation every day. One day
the sensation is scandal involving some
high official. That dies out and is forgotten
Then, perhaps, occurs great mysterious
crime, and that is the sensation OF the hour
just now everybody is occupying himself
with the Siamasa q flair

A Novel Punishment.

EIGHT negro boys, ranging in age from
eight to fourteen years, were caught break
ing into house in Harrodsburg, KY, last
week The judge of the court before whom
they were convicted called the mothers of
the boys into court and proposed to them
that if they would give the boys first-class
whipping in court he would not send them
to the penitentiary The women. eagerly
accepted the proposition and promised
there would be whipping in town that
would not soon be forgotten. space was
cleared in front of the judges bench and
each mother was supplied with rawhide
The blows fell on the thinlyclad culprits
with terrible force, and blood was drawn in
every instance. Once the judge interfered to
prevent too serious beating for one or two
of the boys. When he thought they were
sufficiently punished the judge stopped the
affair. A large crowd witnessed the novel

RUINED TOBICCO CROP

In Sections of Connecticut-Heavy Losses
to Growers.
A DRIVING hail storm passed over the val

East Hartford and ad acent towns, last
week Thursday, which did immense dam

ward crop is entirely ruined and whole
fields of plants which before the storm were

large returns to their owners are only worth
blowing under as fertilizer. The total loss
will certainly exceed 100000 and may be
