A HOldfast "D0rg."
in1o-!sosed in Hollow Tree for a
week, Survives the Starvation
and Fall.

A correspondent sends the News
the following:
An ole colored man living at "An-
thonysburg, ION the Mcdowell bat
tlefeld, has dog that would make
a good side-show for the Worlds
Fair. 1t is true he is lean, but
thereby hangs a tale Of persistent
hunting.
The aforesaid dog went a-hunt-
ing and "treed a varmint" in a h OIL
low chestnut. Determined to have
it, he followed into the tree, and by
gnawing and scratching the decay
ed heart of the tree succeeded in
climbing nearly to the top. Here
friendly knot-hole enabled himto
get outhis head and breathe the
fresh air and ventilate his lungs,
barking for nearly a week before
he was found. The tree had. ito be
cut down in order to free the priso-
ner, and contrary to expectations,
he survived the fall and started flor
home withl ut IA y'jody tellin'
him." This true 'dog tale" can
be vouched for by reliable citizens,

A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in large percentage of
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment Of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. It has been successful in
curing many cases Of catarrh, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma.
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Com
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.

wonderful remedy, send for our

Aldermen Adams and Miller act ms Hosts at
an Informal Gathering,
Last evening at Havens's, In response to
an Invitation of Aldermen Adams and
Miller, the members OF the City Council,
together with His Honor Mayor Brown,
assembled to enjoy the hospitality of the
above named Aldermen.
While the entire matter was quite in
formal, still before breaking up IL was
thought well to have few words on any
topic Of municipal interest that might
suit the taste of the speaker.
Alderman Davis started the ball rolling
by proposing vote of thanks to the hosts
of the evening.
President Pierce, on behalf of the Coun-
Gil, seconded the motion and Mayor
Brown declared it to be unanimous vote
with no doubts or demands for the "call-
ing of the roll"
Alderman Adams replied to the cordial
vote of thanks and reviewed the different
matters of public Importance which have
been inaugurated during the year, and he,
In turn, called upon the various members
present, to add thought.
Almost every member responded and
some discussed the question of new City
Hall but the great majority talked public
park. Some were outspoken I'm favor OF
certain localities while others urged the
selection of park without committing
themselves to any particular locality.
The City Solicitor urged that such gath
erings should take place more frequently
as 1t would enable the members to un-
derstand each oth her more fully aud genial
City Clerk Sibley said that he fully de-
lieved In that theory and he was with
them at any time they proposed a good
supper. The festivities were brought to a
close about II o'clock with one of Alder
man Davis's stories.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Monetary Pressure Mas HAD Bag Eject
Upon Business In General

NEW YORK, June A-R @. Dun & Co. q
Weekly Review of Trade says, The Inn
provemsnt expected from the issue OF
clearing house certificates, thus utilizing
credits instead of cash In local dealiugs,
has not yet been realized Other cities,
especially at the west, have taken similar
measures 70 relieve the pressure, and the
demand for money from the interior con-
tinues unabated
The volume Of trade Is considerably re-
duced by monetary stringency. Bank
clearings outside of New York are de-
clining materially In comparison with last
year. In some departments Of business
orders for merchandise are deferred, since
there Ii no assurance Of ability to carry
the goods until they are sold, while In
other departments orders are not received
because the future is distrusted. The
effect o. the great industries have been
less thus far than might have been feared.
Accounts from other cities nearly all
show that monetaY pressure affects the
trade materially, ts1S collections are un-
usually slow and banks extremely eau
tious In lending, even when they are
strongly fortified. At Boston no activity
IL seen In trade, and all buyers are eau
tious, though there IL o general feeling
that the worst Is over.

This Is the first instance In which this
