Courage and Presence of rlind.

The following is a remarkable
instance of these Two valuable
qualities. While fishing for pike
through a hole in the ice on pond
near Newark, Del Frank Hullings,
a painter, slipped and plunged
head first under the ice. His COM
panion J. X. Killer, a tailor of
Newark, Immediately pulled off his
coat and vest and kneeling down
on the ice felt under the edge for
Rulings. Not succeeding in touch
ing the man under the ice he let
himself down in the water and
holding on to the side of the broken
ice, lowered himself under the ice
and felt around till he caught hold
of Hulings' coat sleeve, he pulled
Rulings from under the ice into the
open hole. Rulings is a large man
and very active. He got upon the
ice first and then pulled his almost
exhausted rescuer from the water.
The water was sufficiently shallow
it is fair to suppose to allow the
men to touch bottom with their
feet.

Don't Put il Off,

The necessity of spring medicine is
universally admitted. This is the best
time of year in which to purify the blood,
to restore the lost appetite, and to build
up the entire system, as the body is now
peculiarly susceptible to benefit from
medicine. The great popularity attained
by Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing to its real
merit and its remarkable success, has
established it as the very best medicine to
take in the spring. 1t cures scrofula,
salt rheum, and all humors, biliousness.
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and liver
catarrh, and all affections
caused or promoted by low state of the
system or impore blood. Don't put it off,
but take Hoods Sarsaparilla now. 1t will
do you good.

Suicide.

Mrs. Vista Wright had sprightly little
dog of the terrier species, yclept Towser,
which was the pride of the family. While
walking along Pearl St, last Sunday
afternoon she noticed that Towser sud-
denly began acting in very unbecoming
manner, as though some of his internal
arrangements had slipped cog and he
was unable to locate the disaster. After
vainly trying to bring Towser to sense
of his lack Of dignity, Mrs. Wright left
him and hurried home for assistance
On returning to where the pet was last
seen he had disappeared. Onlookers say
that after coming 10 his senses a look of
remorse o'erspread his countenance and
he Immediately started cross lots for the
mill dam where he was found floating
the next morning. A clear case OF
