A NEEDLE IN HER BODY A YEAR.
Twelve months ago two year old child
of Mr.. Henry Gochenour, who lives a
mile above the town, swallowed large
cambria needle. The family at first
were of course much alarmed, but as
no immediate bad results followed their
fears were quieted though the child eyer
since had not been in good health. Last
Sunday when Mrs. Gochenour was
dressing the little one she discovered
an enlargement near the knee. DR..
Keller was called to examine it, who
deeming an incision necessary, opened
the swollen place and found the long
lost needle. The little one was soon
relieved, and may be congratulated
that no more serious consequences fol-
lowed so dangerous an accident.-P0ge

Deafness Cannot be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

PROSPECTS IMPROvING.-The N. Y.
Journal Of Commerce of the 18th inst,
says
"The practical collapse of the coal
strike, the more rapid progress on the
Tariff bill, the advance in wheat, the
stubborn refusal of the stock market
to yield to adverse influences, and the
advent of more seasonable weather
have all combined to impart a rather
better tone in business circles. Every
body is anxious that the smallest i'm
provence emit will last; for business is still
excessively dull, and in some instances
ruinou;ly so. But dependency is grad
uaIly giving way to hopefulness; and
the common desire now is that this
change in the commercial temper will
prove to be the shadow of coming
events. Meanwhile, time and patience
are necessary to allow reviviDg infiu-
ences to assert themselves and over
come the hindrances that still remain. :"

A rare and curious experiment is
being watched with great interest by
New York physicians. About three
weeks ago the wife of E. Clarence
Haight, a Metropolis millionaire,
died of giving birth to child three
months premature. This tiny girl,
weighing less than two pounds and
measuring less than foot in length,
has been nurtured in an incubator.
Although physicians had no faith in
the experiment at first, they now be-
lieve the little heiress will live. She
has gained two pounds and an inch
and a half in length since birth.
