She Didn't Take with the Gentlemen

She was refined, intelligent, and not
bad looking, but somehow she never new
er seemed to take with the gentlemen.
They didn't like her listless ways; they
said she hadn't any "snap" about her.
Poor gill che was suffering from function,
al Irregularities, and it was actually i'm
possible for her to take much interest in
anything. But change came. One day
she heard OF DR.. Pierce's Favoiite Pre-
scription. She procured bottle, and
she had not taken half its contents when
she felt like another woman. Now she
is in the enjoyment of perfect health, and
has suitors by the score. No woman need
suffer from functional Irregularities and
weaknesses The "Favorite Prescription
is safe and certain cure for all weak
nesses to which women are peculiarly sub
ject.

Farmers who intend to make fence
this Spring will do well to see what wire
Helms has in stock. april25 A.

In the Encouragement Of the Congress
sional Districts, as proposed by the Re-
publican State Committee and as they will
doubtless be created by the Legislature,
the First, Second and Third will remain
unchanged the Fourth will he composed
of Hunterdon, Warren, Sussex and MGR
rs counties the Fifth of Passaic and
Bergen the Sixth Of Newark and East
Orange township, Essex county; the Sew
enth of all of Hudson county except tho
township of BsyOnne and the Eighth of
Union county, Bayonne and all the Essex
townships except East Orange. There is
some kicking among the Essex Republi-
cans about the way in which their county
is divided, and change may be made
there, though it does not seem probable.
Politically, the arrangement proposed is
emineutly just and fair, without even the
semblance of gerrymander for partisan
purposes. Under ordinary circumstances
four of the districts will eject Republican
Congressman and four Democratic.

The SUSSEX Register says : The cred.
itors of Martin Wyckof, in the vicinity
of Blairstown, did some hustlipg last
week, after his financial troubles became
known. Wyckoff, in the hope OF getting
relief from his embarrassment, went into
the timber busiaess, and had many cred
itors along the Blue mountain. Attach
menis on lies, poles, and stationary en-
gines were almost as thick as snowfakes.
One creditor built fence around an en-
CINE, and put paddock on it. In one
week mortgages to the amount Of $50, 900
were recorded in the Hunterdon County
Clerks Office. Wyckoff tried to protect
some Of his creditors, but the greater por-
ton OF the claims are sunk beyond recov-
cry in the Wall street whirlpool.

BOdy of a CoIored Man Found In the Race
at Gandey's Paper Mills.


ut Gandey's Paper Mills.
Between | and o'clock last Monday
afternoon one of the employees at Gan
| dey's papers mills, on South Main street,
10 this city, took rake and began to clean
the rack in the race running into the mills,
when he discovered the body of colored
man resting against the rack. Assistance
was procured and the body taken from
the water and removed to Stockton's
morgue, 90 Coryell street, where it was
viewed by County Physician Berkaw and
Coroner Thos. 5. Callan, who ordered an
clothing was made and the following arli-
Giles found: A box of cigarettes, two
cigars, lead pencil and new pair Of
socks. A large crowd gathered to look
at the body, and among the colored peo-
pie the dead man was recognized as Law
son Stems. He came TO this city about a
year ago from Cleaveland county, North
Carolina, where his parents reside, and
was employed as driler 10 one of the
stone quarries in this vicinity. He was
"a years of age ard unmarried. A num-
Der IF the late comrades of the deceased
say that he had been missing since The
9th of April, when he had received bis
pay and was intoxicated. Some time
after night of the same day he and q ccm
rade told several friends they were going
to Trenton and they were seen TO go be-
low the Pennsylvania X. r. station TO
board coal train. When the train ar
rived in Trenton Stems comrade searched
for him, but could not ind him and re-
turned home the next morning. 1t is now
thought that in boarding the train Stems
fell backward into the canal and was
drowned, and that later his body fl 1ated
into the basin opposite the repair shops of
the Penna. II II. Co. and from thence
into the race. When taken from The
water the body was thickly covered with
mud and was much swollen, while the
| face was greatly distorted and portion
Of the skin on the hands had peeled off.
On Tuesday morning, by order OF Cor
oner Callan, Constable Srope impanelled
jury of twelve men, who viewed the
remains of Stems and then adjourned to
meet next Friday morning, at s O'Clock,
at Stockton's undertaking establishment,
to hear testimony.
AT 2:30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon
funeral services were held at the under
taking establishment of Mr.. Stockton
conducted by the Rev. William A. White,
pastor Of the Mount Zion Mission in this
city. There was qnte large crowd
present, mostly colored people. After
the services the body was placed in the
tearse and taken to Mount Hope Gene
terry and buried.

VICIOUS DOGS.

VICIOUS DOGS.
Ga South Main street, just outside the
city limits, resides quarryman Thomas
Roach, who glories in the possession Of
two as vicious fighting bull dogs as ever
presented bullying eyes and grinning teeth
to passer.by. Their chief mission (when
untied) appears to be to attack all animals
aud teams that pass that way, and woe be
to the strange deg that wandcrs near. II
be is not extra fleet of foot, then his
name is Denuis," for these brutes are sure
to overhaul him, aud in their savagery
their chief delight is to tear the luckless
dog apart.
On Monday last, as farmer Hart Larue
and wife, who reside on Councilman Cases
farm, on the Valley road, were driving by
with one horse tied TO the rear CT their
carriage, these road terriers attacked the
rear horse, biting its hind legs and jump
ing for its throat In its fright the horse
reared up, falling upon the carriage,
smashing the wheels and other parts.
Mrs. Larue had most miraculous escape
from perhaps death, bad it not been for
the great presence Of mind Of Mr. Larue,
who succeeded with the assistance of Mr..
William Marley IN driving the brutes
away and rescuing the team.
If the farmers and others who have TO
pass that way allow these pet bulldogs
10 exist another week after this last oc-
currence without taking some proper ac-
ton, then it will be their own fault if
their teams are attacked again.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way 10 cure Deafness, and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube be restor-
ed 10 its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrb, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
